Jeep just announced two head-turning paint colors for the 2026 Wrangler — Tuscadero and Joose — and both are available to order right now at Jay Malone CDJR in Hutchinson. If you've been waiting for a Wrangler that actually stands out in the parking lot, this is your moment.
Tuscadero — The Pink That Made A Comeback
Tuscadero first turned heads when it launched a few years back, and Jeep is bringing it back for 2026 by popular demand. It's a vibrant, confident pink — bold without being cartoonish — and it's quickly become one of the most-requested colors we've ever seen on a Wrangler.
Tuscadero — At A Glance
- Premium paint upcharge: $895
- Available with: Standard soft top, black hard top, and white cap
Joose — The New Citrus Standout
Joose is the brand-new color in the 2026 lineup — a high-energy citrus shade that's going to look incredible against snowy Minnesota backdrops, on the trail, and parked outside the lake cabin. If Tuscadero is the bold statement, Joose is the playful one. And unlike Tuscadero, it's available across a much wider range of trims and tops — including some of the most exclusive Wranglers in the lineup.
Joose — At A Glance
- Premium paint upcharge: $895
- Available with: Body-color hard top, Rubicon X, MOAB 392, standard soft top, black hard top, and white cap
Why This Matters For Wrangler Buyers
Specialty Wrangler colors don't stick around. Tuscadero in particular has historically been a limited-availability paint that fills allocation quickly and disappears for months at a time. If you've been on the fence about ordering a 2026 Wrangler, the color you want now is not guaranteed to be the color available six months from now.
Both colors carry the same $895 premium paint upcharge, but the trim and top compatibility is different — so if you've got your heart set on a Rubicon X or a MOAB 392, Joose is your only option of the two. If you want a soft top or basic hard top, you've got a real choice to make.

How much extra do Tuscadero and Joose cost?
Both colors are a $895 premium paint upcharge over the standard color options on the 2026 Wrangler.
Can I get Tuscadero on a Rubicon X or MOAB 392?
No — Tuscadero is only available with the standard soft top, black hard top, and white cap. If you want a Rubicon X or MOAB 392, Joose is your premium color option.
How long will these colors be available?
Specialty Wrangler colors are typically subject to limited allocation and can be pulled from the order banks at any point in the model year. We recommend ordering early if you have a specific configuration in mind.
Does Jay Malone CDJR charge extra to special-order a Wrangler?
No. We've never charged extra to locate or special-order a vehicle for a customer. If we don't have the exact Wrangler you want on the lot, we'll order it — at the same price you'd pay for one in stock.
