Stellantis’ Jeep division recently announced that the 2022 Wrangler Willys can be optioned with the Xtreme Recon Package. Previously only available of the Wrangler Rubicon models, the Wrangler Rubicon and Rubicon 392, this allows those that desire the classic look  of the Wrangler Willys to enjoy the same off-road prowess of the Rubicon models.

Jim Morrison, Vice President, Jeep Brand North America explains that for some, it’s all about the capability, and those 35” tires: “The new Jeep Wrangler Willys with Xtreme Recon Package gives our passionate customers another great option for straight-from-the-factory 35-inch tires.”

Exactly what is the Willys model?

The Willy’s package is a Jeep trim that offers classic retro styling with cutting-edge, off-roading technology.  In particular, the Wrangler Willys packages include tinted windows, a black dash and comfortable cloth seats. Also included are a gloss black grille, bumper appliques, a hood decal, and “Trail Rated” badges.

As for power, the 2022, the Willys package is powered by a 285 HP 3.6l Pentastar 24-Valve V6 engine with 260 ft-lbs of torque and is backed by a 6-speed manual transmission (or available 5-speed automatic).
