Jeep® Brings Back The High-Tide Model For The 2023 Wrangler Unlimited.

Earlier this year, Jeep® introduced a new buzz model for its popular Wrangler Unlimited four-door (JLU): the High-Tide. The High-Tide offered an affordable way to get the Xtreme Recon Package, without having to go for the Willys trim. 

While Jeep produced 5,000 examples of the High-Tide for the 2022 model year, the automaker has informed dealers it will bring back the buzz model for 2023.

Based on the popular Sport S trim, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited High-Tide will come standard with the proven 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with eTorque mild-hybrid technology. The Pentastar with eTorque delivers 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque and adds low-end torque for impressive starting power for rock crawling or sand dune running. The Pentastar is mated to a quick-shifting and efficient 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission.

Each High-Tide model includes the following equipment…

• Xtreme Recon Package –
  • LT315/70R17C (35-Inch) BFGoodrich KO2 All-Terrain Tires
  • 17-Inch x 8-Inch Beadlock Capable Wheels
  • Swing Gate Reinforcement by Mopar
  • Tire Relocation Kit by Mopar
  • Jack Spacer by Mopar
  • Wheel Flares Extensions
  • 4.56:1 Axle Ratio
  • 1.5-inch Factory Suspension Lift with Uniquely Tuned Shocks
  • Anti-Lock Four-Wheel-Disc Performance Brakes
• Body-Colored Hard-Top
• LED Headlamps & Fog Lights
• Rock Rails
• Sunrider Fliptop for Hard-Top
• Gorilla Glass Windshield
• Sand/Slush Floor Mats
• “High Tide” Hood Decals on High Tide Models

Jeep will build 4,500 units of the High-Tide for the 2023 model year, between January and May 2023 at its Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio. 

The package will save customers around $1,400 over having a similar equipped Willys model. The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited High-Tide (25D) will have a starting MSRP of $51,540 USD. That is $8,895 more expensive than the Sport S with the Pentastar eTorque engine.
