Special editions of new cars are, by definition, available in limited numbers. But some of the most successful limited-run models come back year after year. For instance, Jeep’s Wrangler Freedom Edition will roll into its 12th year in 2023 — and this time, it gets some company. The 2023 Gladiator Wrangler-based pickup adds a Freedom Edition as well.
The Freedom Edition has changed quite a bit since that first 2011 model. When it first appeared, Jeep sold it only to members of the U.S. military serving overseas. Now, anyone can order one.
$500 Savings for Service Members
Both are built on the Sport S editions. They add $3,295 to the cost of the vehicle if you’re not currently serving and $2,795 if you are. Jeep has revealed pricing for the 2023 Wrangler, so we can do the math on that one. The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Freedom Edition should start at $40,660 ($40,160 if you’re currently in uniform). Jeep also charges a mandatory $1,595 to deliver the vehicle.
Jeep hasn’t announced 2023 Gladiator prices yet. Gladiator prices usually hover about $3,000 over the price of the corresponding Wrangler.
Military Design Theme
Freedom Editions get an American flag decal ahead of the doors and “Oscar Mike” badges on the tailgate, standing for “on the move.”
They get body-colored fender flares and gloss black wheels. Steel rock rails add more off-road capability. A winch-capable front bumper lets you choose to spend the money to add a winch for more off-road capability. Inside, leather-trimmed cloth seats get black accent stitching.
Jeep’s Wave customer service program is included. It gives buyers three years of free scheduled maintenance, 24/7 roadside assistance, and one-day loaner coverage.
Jeep will donate $250 from the sale of each Freedom Edition to unspecified military charities.
