Jeep unveiled the 2026 Wrangler Rockslide and Gladiator Rockslide special editions, featuring distinctive blue design elements, off-road equipment and new customization options.

Jeep has introduced a new special edition of its iconic off-road vehicle, the 2026 Jeep Wrangler Rockslide, alongside a matching Jeep Gladiator Rockslide pickup. The model marks the fifth release in the brand’s Twelve 4 Twelve special-edition series, a program that highlights distinctive versions of the Wrangler while blending design experimentation with the vehicle’s established off-road character.

The Rockslide edition is based on the Sahara and Rubicon trims and places a strong emphasis on visual identity. The central theme of the design is a layered palette of blue tones that appears throughout both the exterior and interior. Outside, Blue Agave accents appear in the side stripes, hood graphics and a classic “4 Wheel Drive” marking. The look is reinforced by an Anvil-colored roof and grille surround, creating a more unified and striking appearance.

The interior continues the same tonal concept. Cabin details feature Indigo Blue accents on the instrument panel surround, center console and door armrests. Contrasting silver stitching highlights the interior design, while the seats are finished in Jean Blue cloth. Unique touches include Rockslide-specific details such as a branded plaque mounted on the swing gate.

Functionally, the special edition retains Jeep’s traditional off-road focus. The vehicle includes steel rock rails designed to protect the body when navigating rocky terrain. On the Sahara trim, these protective rails appear for the first time since 2017. Additional standard features include a Gorilla Glass windshield, deep-tint windows, heated mirrors and full LED lighting with LED headlamps, daytime running lamps and fog lamps.

Advanced driver-assistance systems are also included. The Rockslide package features adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and automated braking, ensuring the special edition retains the modern safety technologies found across the Wrangler lineup.

Alongside the Wrangler, Jeep also revealed the Jeep Gladiator Rockslide. The pickup carries the same blue-focused design theme and capability-oriented details and is available on the Rubicon and Mojave versions. Gladiator remains the industry’s only open-air pickup and continues to offer practical capability figures, including towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds and payload capacity of up to 1,720 pounds.

Orders for the new Wrangler Rockslide and Gladiator Rockslide models will open in April 2026. The Rockslide package will cost $695 on top of comparably equipped models with a body-color hardtop. On Rubicon and Mojave trims the package adds body-color fender flares, while the Sahara version receives unique rock rails as part of the configuration.
