Even though winter may still be in its last stages, Jeep has revealed two beach-themed special edition models for 2024, kicking off the summer season. The firm has chosen to give the Gladiator pickup the “Jeep Beach” edition treatment for the first time ever.
Gladiator Jeep Beach edition will be even more unique, with only 250 built, following in the footsteps of the Wrangler Jeep Beach model, which will only be made in 500 instances for 2024.
Based on the Willys model, the Gladiator Jeep Beach edition has unique Jeep Beach decals, a spray-in bedliner, a sunrider fliptop, a hardtop headliner, and a body-color hardtop. It has steel rock rails, a rear-locking differential, 32-inch mud-terrain tyres, and the Off-Road+ mode to assist it manage sand.
Inside, passengers can enjoy a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Mopar Katzkin leather seats embroidered with the Jeep Beach logo, and a number of cutting-edge safety features like trailer tow, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning. The starting price for the truck is $52,390, which includes a $1,895 destination charge.
Similar changes are made to the Wrangler Jeep Beach 4xe, which is likewise based on the Willys trim (but in this instance, it is a plug-in hybrid). Instead of the Gladiator’s 32-inch all-terrain tyres, it has 33-inch ones.
The rest of the improvements are essentially the same and include Jeep Beach decals, a headliner, a sunrider fliptop, and a body-color hardtop. Along with these features, it also has Mopar Katzkin leather seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, steel rock rails, a locking rear diff, and Off-Road+ mode. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler Jeep Beach is priced starting at $62,290.
Orders for both models will be accepted this month in a few states in the Southeast, and they will come in the entire spectrum of paint colours.
Although you really don’t need an excuse to celebrate the beach, the carmaker claims that these vehicles were created especially to pay homage to Jeep Beach 2024. This year’s annual enthusiast exhibit is scheduled for April 19–28 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
One of the largest gatherings of Jeep enthusiasts in the United States is Jeep Beach Week, held in Daytona Beach, Florida. According to Bill Peffer, the head of Jeep brand for North America, “the event is set to be even bigger this year.” Last year, more than 225,000 Jeep lovers and 25,000 Jeep SUVs and trucks attended. Delivering these two brand-new, factory-customized beach-ready Jeep 4x4s during this unique week-long event is an excellent opportunity.
