We just caught a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon prototype wearing a side graphic similar to the decals worn on the 2017 Freedom Edition JK Wrangler.
The "star" decal is located between the rear fender and the rear door of this 4-door JT Rubicon and while it bears resemblance to the Freedom Edition Wrangler and the Oscar Mike edition on which it was based, we were unable to get a peek inside to see if there were other special bits to suggest we're looking at a special edition JT.
Another reason this might not be -- the Freedom Edition Wrangler was based on the Sport trim and featured a star decal on the hood and rear fender along with an American flag decal on the front fender and cowl. IF this is indeed a JT Freedom Edition, it appears to have combined these graphical elements into one.
The Freedom Edition also came with body-colored fenders (which this prototype does not), rock rails and gray interior accents, including unique stitching on the leather trimmed seats, steering wheel, door pulls and console. It offered 18-inch 5-spoke granite crystal wheels, a heavy duty rear differential cover, black fuel door cover and taillights.
It remains to be seen if this is an indication of the first Jeep Gladiator special edition or perhaps just an optional decal to outfit any JT truck. Stay tuned as we learn more!
