Following the tradition of launching exclusive, limited-run vehicles on the anniversary of ‘Jeep Beach’, Jeep has lifted covers off from the Wrangler High Tide and Wrangler Jeep Beach special-edition models.
Jeep announced these two limited-run models based on the Wrangler off-road SUV to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ‘Jeep Beach week’ in Daytona Beach, Florida, one of the largest Jeep vehicle events held annually. The deliveries of these two special-edition versions of the Wrangler will commence on the sidelines of Jeep Beach Week in April 2023.
Jeep has also announced the prices of the Wrangler High Tide and Wrangler Jeep Beach special-edition models while making them available for order. While the Wrangler High Tide edition has been priced at $51,450, the Wrangler Jeep Beach edition has come in at $54,040 (both prices are excluding the destination charges).
The Wrangler Jeep Beach edition is essentially a more kitted version of the Wrangler ‘High Tide’ edition. Both these exclusive editions of Jeep Wrangler will be available in six exterior color options – High Velocity, Hydro Blue, Bright White, Black, Sting Gray, and Punk’n. Jeep will manufacture only 500 units of the Wrangler Jeep Beach Edition, thus making it a limited-run model.

This kit also includes a 1.5-inch factory suspension lift with uniquely tuned shocks and wheel flare extensions, in addition to the Mopar-sourced hinge-gate reinforcement, jack spacer, and tire relocation kit. In addition to the ‘Xtreme Recon’ package, the Jeep Wrangler High Tide edition also gets a body-colored hardtop, Sunrider flip top, LED headlamps and fog lamps, rock rails, sand/slush mats, and ‘High Tide’ decals on the hood.
Since it is based on the Sport S variant of the Jeep Wrangler, the High Tide edition gets standard features like manual air conditioning and seat adjustments, a multi-functional steering wheel with cruise control, and a touchscreen infotainment system with 8-speaker audio system. Additional features in this version include heated rearview mirrors, front and side airbags, ABS with brake assist, traction control, and electronic stability control. Jeep has started accepting orders for the Wrangler High Tide edition this month, which has been priced at $51,450 (excluding the $1,795 destination charge).
Wrangler’ Jeep Beach’ Edition Is A More Spruced-Up Wrangler High Tide Edition
Ahead of the ‘Jeep Beach’ event scheduled to take place in April 2023, Jeep has also announced a more exclusive version of the Wrangler High Tide edition. Titled Wrangler Jeep Beach edition, this limited-run version of the Wrangler High Tide edition commemorates the 20th anniversary of Jeep Beach week.
