February 9, 2023 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Jeep® brand is proudly celebrating 20 years of the game-changing Wrangler Rubicon at the 2023 Chicago Auto Show with the Wrangler Rubicon 20th Anniversary editions, the most capable Wranglers yet.

Available on both the 2023 Wrangler Rubicon 4xe and 2023 Wrangler Rubicon 392, the Rubicon 20th Anniversary editions each deliver the Wrangler Rubicon’s legendary go-anywhere capability and unequaled spirit of freedom and adventure, designed to tackle the trail they’re named after straight from the Toledo (Ohio) Assembly Complex.

“Twenty years ago, a small group of enthusiastic Jeep engineers affectionately known as the ‘Lunatic Fringe,’ with grit and determination and their personal credit cards, designed, engineered and developed the most capable Wrangler yet – the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon – and overdelivered on everyone’s expectations because they knew it was what Jeep customers wanted,” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “Today the Rubicon model represents about a quarter of overall Wrangler sales, with more than 700,000 sold worldwide, and include the electrified Rubicon 4xe, the best-selling and most capable PHEV in America. That same spirit of determination and ingenuity that led to the creation of the Wrangler Rubicon lives on in these new 20th anniversary special editions, which for the first time, bring available 37s to the Wrangler, providing unmatched capability.”

The limited run of 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe 20th Anniversary and 2023 Wrangler Rubicon 392 20th Anniversary, available for order this month, are priced at a starting U.S. manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $69,585 and $90,895, respectively (all prices exclude $1,795 destination charge).

Don't forget the implied AEV LEVEL 2 Option for the winch, more lift and the 37's... there might even be a LEVEL 3 option to add beadlocks?
 
they just keep getting further and further out of my price range and I sure wouldn't want a used one as $$$$$$$$ they are to repair , just Jelious I guess

It really is stupid expensive and that really is a bummer.
well all i can say is my 2023 Rubicon 392 might not have all the badge's and goodies
but its still a 20th anniversary.
I don't think you need all the badges and red seats to have a 392 that is to die for. (y)
$20k for the AEV lit!!!!??? Fuckin hell. Rather just send it over to Ft.Mohave and let Mel do his thing for that kind of money.
LOL - right?
 
So. I’ve been waiting (saving 🤣) for the 20th anniversary if it came with a 392. And now that it’s here I’m just meh about it.
Not gonna lie, Cindy and I knew that the 20th anniversary Rubicon was going to come with a 392 and we hesitated as to whether or not we should hold of to get it. But, after giving it a lot of thought, we decided that it would be as crazy expensive as it has proven to be and that we would probably think it wasn't a cool as we were imagining it would be. A lot of this came from the fact that we ordered our Gladiator as a limited release edition but ultimately got a regular loaded Rubicon and for less and we were still just as happy with it. Maybe more so.

I was strongly considering trading for the 20 Year Anniversary 392, which is why I’ve done zero mods to my 2022 model 392. I was really hoping it would be badass and worth the expected premium cost- as well as the higher interest rate, however I’ve got to say I like the looks of the one I have now better.

If I was buying it simply for the collector value it might be worth it, but I like driving it too much.

I guess I’ll start ordering some parts! 😂🤣
 
Bottom line they are both amazingly optioned up, but with the predictable premium for getting a special edition. Targeted for niche buyers. Standard marketing playbook in any industry. Seem like really nice rigs, just not good value.
 
Are the rock rails wider than normal? They look like they could be used as a step also. I will say I like that.
