Just in time for our nation’s annual birthday hoopla, Jeep has rolled out the
Wrangler Freedom Edition. The limited-run Jeep is intended as a tribute to
military members both past and present. It’s based on the Sport model and
available in either two-door or Unlimited four-door guise—buyers can have their
Freedom in any color they want, as long as its Deep Cherry Red, Bright White,
or, True Blue, which is exclusive to the Freedom edition.
Star badges with “Oscar Mike”—the traditional military slang for “on the
move”—overlaid on them adorn the fenders, while stars without the script reside
on the front hood and right rear-quarter panel. Standard features include black
sidesteps, taillamp guards, and a Sunrider soft top with tinted rear
windows.
Additional star images are embroidered with silver stitching onto the black
seatbacks, and there are silver accents all over the cabin, including on a set
of Mopar slush mats. Power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, and UConnect
voice command are also included as standard items. Running gear is the same
285-hp, 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 found in all 2012 Wranglers.
Two-door models
start at $29,090 and four-door models start at $31,595. Those are the same
prices as the Sport models on which they’re based, so you’re getting the
appearance goodies (and slush mats!) for no extra charge. And since patriotism
is a two-way street, Jeep is donating $250 from each Freedom sold to military
charities, specifically the Fisher House Foundation and the I Support
Foundation. Fisher House provides hospitality services for military families to
be close to a loved one during hospitalization, while I Support provides job,
healthcare, and other benefits and resources to returning troops, in addition to
issuing grants to over forty veteran charity organizations.
