Some special edition Wrangler packages are extremely well thought out, some are a marketing alignment with a TV or movie franchise, some are a seemingly completely random (remember that dragon one?), and others have been nostalgic throwbacks to past Jeep products. Jeep outdid itself with this year’s throwback: the 2017 Jeep Wrangler Cheif Edition.
The “Chief” EJS concept from two year’s ago was quite popular; the team turned a Wrangler Unlimited into a retro Cherokee Chief SJ. This limited Edition Wrangler is an interesting homage to the concept. We’ll supposedly get a proper introduction next week in New York, but If you want to see it early… go check out your local dealer.
The Cheif Edition is based on the Sahara model, I think. All Chiefs willcome with a standard white hardtop and color match fenders. It’s available in Chief, Gobi, and Rhino exterior paint.
The Chief will comes with heated leather seats, the Alpine stereo and a custom grab handle.
Hopefully we’ll get a closer look at the interior next week in New York.

The concept was really cool, but I fail to see the point in this special edition — especially if they’re offering it in additional paint colors, making it just a Sahara with a 10A/HR hood and a white top.
I agree, Cary. If it had a custom front clip with the razor grille we’d be having a different conversation!
No doubt! I really expect an SJ-derived look for the Jeep pickup when it finally appears. They’ve teased us with variations too many times to not be planning something.
I hope you’re right, I’d drive a modern J-Truck in a heartbeat
