- Rubicon – Extreme trail capability with locking differentials

Is the 2026 Wrangler Willys Xtreme 35 Worth It?
The Willys Xtreme 35 is worth comparing if you want a rear locker and factory 35-inch tire hardware in a five-seat Wrangler. Compare its completed price and exact axle equipment with Rubicon before ordering.
Confirm the exact engine, transmission, safety groups and tire package before comparing quotes.
Competition and configuration choices
The Ford Bronco with an appropriate Sasquatch package is a close comparison for removable-roof construction and factory larger-tire equipment. Compare the exact axle hardware, passenger count and optioned price. Within Jeep’s own range, Willys and Rubicon are distinct: a rear locker on Willys does not make it a dual-locker Rubicon.
