Jeep is changing up and charging up its special editions as it prepares to head to the 2024 Jeep Beach Week. For the first time ever, Jeep is building a 2024 Jeep Gladiator special edition to honor the huge event in Daytona Beach. The other special edition is a 2024 Wrangler 4xe. Both limited run models feature Sunrider Fliptops, special Mopar leather seats, off-road tires, locking rear differentials and other amenities designed for fun in the sun. As I reported last year, Jeep Beach features more than 3,500 Jeep vehicles driving on the beaches for the world-famous Jeep Beach Parade. The mission of Jeep Beach is to raise funds for local and national charities, with more than $4.1 million donated to date.
“Jeep Beach week in Daytona Beach, Florida, is one of the biggest Jeep enthusiast events in the U.S. Last year, more than 225,000 Jeep fans and 25,000 Jeep SUVs and trucks attended, and the event is set to be even bigger this year,” said Bill Peffer, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand – North America. “The new 2024 model-year Wrangler and first-ever Gladiator Jeep Beach special editions are loaded with all the beach-ready content our customers tell us they want, so it’s a great opportunity to deliver these two new beach-ready Jeep 4x4s, customized from the factory, at this special weeklong event.”
2024 Jeep Wrangler Jeep Beach 4xe
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is already the top-selling plug-in hybrid in the US and the 2024 Wrangler Jeep Beach 4xe is designed to stand out at the shore.
