I'm just glad I got mine in time. Are they stopping this due to lack of sales, or because they want to do a diff color (like the green or purple stuff that the Wranglers have?)

Yeah, glad I got mine.

Seems odd...considering the $$$ they must have put to make that Bill Murray groundhog day commercial with the Punk'n.

FWIW, the super bowl commercial was a last second decision, so they may have just grabbed whatever color Gladiator they could find at the time without consideration of the future availability of said color.

Sweet! Maybe a collectors Item. In South Carolina folks love them as Clemson colors.... I have Sting Grey (AKA Destroyer Grey) - but saw one on a lot in NC yesterday.

Jeep and other mfrs are notorious for starting colors late in the MY and ending them before production ends. The Costco "rule" applies here: buy what you see when you see it as it might not be there next time

Punkin is a pretty visual striking color and plays well in the winter setting they made the commercial in. Given the choice of it and the standard colors, they made the most obvious decision most would have made.

But I agree, no thought was probably given to it being available down the road.

I was considering this or subtle white when I hopefully place my order at the end of the year, maybe, they’ll bring it back.

As of last week, I’ve heard rumblings from friends that it’s gone. I emailed a few dealers this week and they could no longer select it. :(
