Most-powerful Wrangler ever
Jeep is celebrating the birthday of its most extreme model with the most expensive versions of it ever offered.

The celebratory package is available on the 375 hp plug-in hybrid Wrangler Rubicon 4xe and the 470 hp V8-powered Wrangler Rubicon 392.
Both come with commemorative 20th Edition badging and a new seven-slot grille with a black center surrounded by a body-color frame.
