Good morning, I am new to the Jeep World with a recently purchased 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The dealership advertised it as a '' Black Bear Edition '' but I can't find anything on the vehicle that suggests........... what do I look for on the vehicle?

Looks like the previous owner removed the hood decal. I have the 2017 Big Bear edition with a topo map hood decal and really like the decal (see the photo). Sets the Jeep apart from others. Like others said, it came with the black wheels, taillight guards, hood decal and BFG AT KO2. It is a very nice package IMHO. Mine also came with the LSD and 3.73 gears though that is not part of the Big Bear package.

A few more off the top of my head: Skid plates, remote engine start, rubber floor mats, carpet mat in cargo area, 430 uconnect, security alarm system.

Nice Black Bears fellows.

Here is mine the day that I brought it home new in Oct. 2016.
Since then I have added an ARB Deluxe Bull Bar, Mopar mud flaps, and Mopar receiver hitch and 5 pin towing harness, Mopar Kicker speaker upgrades and Kicker Hideaway subwoofer. Mopar headliner kit. Lock'er Down console safe.

I think the seat fabric is also a little different.

Nice ride! Hope you’ll use it like a Jeep!

Very nice Jeep.

That hood decal would worry me here in AZ, though. Vinyl on top facing panels (hood, trunk, roof, tops of bumpers etc) doesn't last very long before it darkens and cracks. Three years, max, unless it's a garage queen.

Another clue is the "Wrangler" hood decal. While the Willys edition also had a black grille and wheels, it said "Willys" on the hood.
