The High Tide is based on the lower Sport S model ($36,720), but adds the Xtreme Recon Package that debuted at last year’s Chicago Auto Show. This package retails for $3,995, including 35-inch BF Goodrich T/A KO2 tires, 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, a 4.56 rear axle ratio, 1.5-inch factory suspension lift, tuned shocks, hinge-gate reinforcement, a Mopar jack spacer, tire relocation kit and flared wheel extensions. On top of those upgrades, the High Tide model receives a body-color hardtop, LED lights, rock rails, Sunrider Fliptop, Gorila Glass windshield and special decals.
The first 500 High Tide models will be badged as the Wrangler Jeep Beach special edition with unique “Beach” decals on the hood. Buyers can choose from Hydro Blue, Black, Bright White, StingGray and the new High Velocity Yellow. This new yellow color is also available on the Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, 4xe and 392 trims for $395.
