How much is the 2023 Jeep Wrangler Freedom?
The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Freedom starts at $48,180 and fully loaded could be north of $60,000. This trim was built to first and foremost honor our military personnel who serve every day, those who have served before, and especially those who have lost their life in the service of their country. The Jeep Freedom also pays homage to the Jeep’s founding story as a World War II combat vehicle. The Jeep was originally made by the Willys company and called the Willys Quad for its four wheel drive. It saw service in World WarII and in the wars that followed. While the Jeep may not currently be in military service, the Freedom aims to honor the Jeep’s story and those who have served our country.
What is different about the 2023 Gladiator?
The 2023 Gladiator sees the introduction of a few trim specific packages such as the capability package on the High Altitude trim. This package starts at $1,795 and adds a front facing trail camera, Cab rock rails, and a winch capable steel front bumpers. Beyond that some trims have also received more standardized items, such as the Willys trim received remote keyless entry, and a new special edition paint color has been added High Velocity Yellow.
Will there be a 2024 Gladiator?
Yes there will be a 2024 Gladiator. Unfortunately little is known about the 2024 Gladiator, but it most likely will be similar the 2023 Gladiator. This is because the Jeep Wrangler just received a mid cycle refresh and we think that it will take the Gladiator at least a year to adopt these changes which included a revised front end with an updated seven slot grille, and a brand new touchscreen. We do hope the Gladiator will receive this touchscreen shortly as we have been waiting for the vehicles to finally join the ranks of modern vehicles and have large infotainment screens. Although we hope this will be in the 2024 model year, we do not think it will make it until the 2025 model year at least.
