Jeep Wrangler 4xe Willys '41 Special Edition: Exterior

The special edition Wrangler takes inspiration from the Jeep '41 concept first revealed at the 2022 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. The military influence is highlighted by the olive-drab '41 paint and the durable 17-inch aluminum wheels, which are also finished in the same shade. These wheels are paired with 33-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tyres, and the centre cap features the iconic silhouette of the Willys MB.

The vehicle’s exterior showcases several references to the original Jeep model. A light blue "WILLYS / 4XE" decal is placed along the hood, a black "'41" decal is found on the hood, and a blue "4XE" decal is located below the left taillight. Jeep explains that these decals are a tribute to the U.S. Army’s factory stenciling from World War II, with careful attention to period-specific font, texture, and colour.
