Just in time for the Fourth of July, when recognizing the efforts of America’s men and women in uniform is a very appropriate thing to do, Jeep has unveiled a new Freedom Edition package that’s an optional extra on 2023 models of the Wrangler and Gladiator. What’s that? Check the box, and you get a regimental-uniform paint scheme plus an Oscar Mike badge – for all us civilians out there, that stands for “On Mission” – along with, natch, an American flag decal. The Freedom Edition rigs will also be sold with steel rock rails and a winch-capable front bumper to further toughen things up.
Military-themed interior design cues are also part of the Freedom Edition package. Order a Wrangler or Gladiator so optioned, and Jeep will donate $250 per sale to charities assisting military families, which we like. For off-road capability, all Freedom Edition Jeeps will further receive LED headlamps and fog lamps for added illumination.
