In 2022 Jeep released the special edition Wrangler Unlimited High-Tide. It’s basically a Sport model with the right amount of factory mods to make this a great out of the box, inexpensive and great looking Jeep.
The High Tide’s Xtreme Recon package brings a 1.5-inch suspension lift and 35-inch BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 tires, along with 4.56:1 axle gearing to better work with the tall tires. The Sunrider Flip-Top replaces the forward section of the body-color hardtop with a fabric panel that’s easy to raise or lower from the front seats, Freedom panels are included too, so you can reconfigure your High Tide as a full hardtop whenever you desire.
The High Tide also gets the Gorilla Glass windshield, a $495 option on other Wranglers and Gladiators. An upgraded Mopar tailgate hinge provides extra strength for supporting the standard 35-inch tire.
The High Tide’s base price of $51,535 makes it nearly the least expensive Wrangler with the Xtreme Recon (XR) package next to the Xtreme Recon Willys trim, which starts at $45,695.
