Episode 710 – Vet Gets Free Jeep!

This Week In Jeep

Vet Gets Free Jeep For Service and Sacrifice

Originally from Elizabeth, New Jersey, James Barbosa, a U.S. Army Specialist veteran, was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 and was injured in combat. 

He was honorably discharged in 2013. This Jeep donation was made possible by the efforts and volunteers of the Military Warriors Support Foundation which provides programs and events that help Veterans successfully transition back into civilian life.

Wells Fargo and a local Jeep dealer were also involved in making this momentous occasion happen. The vehicle in question here is a brand spanking new 2023 Jeep Renegade, Sport in bright white and dark gray interior. In his acceptance speech, the Army vet said he was incredibly humbled, very honored, and extremely grateful to everyone who made this possible.

Jeep saluting US military and veterans with $1,000 cash-back deal

Jeep is doubling down on America’s military with a special discount deal.

The brand will be offering active-duty military and veterans $1,000 cash back on the Wrangler and Gladiator models through the rest of November in honor of Veterans Day.

The amount is twice that of the brand’s ongoing $500 military discount offered across its lineup. “With more than 80 years of history, the Jeep brand is extremely proud of our military heritage, we are always looking for ways to honor the servicemen and servicewomen who serve our country,”  said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. The discount can also be applied to the Wrangler and Gladiator Freedom models that were announced for The Fourth of July. We did a whole showcase breakdown of these Jeeps in Episode 638 if you’d like to learn more about Jeep’s latest Freedom Edition Jeeps. Both Jeeps come standard with a 285 hp V6, 6-speed manual, and four-wheel drive. The special Freedom Edition Jeeps come with a package of functional and design features that includes American flag badges on the sides and “Oscar Mike” decals on the tailgates, which is a military expression meaning “on the move” or “on a mission.”For every one of these Freedom Edition Jeeps sold, Jeep will make a $250 donation to military charities. Freedom models can already be found on dealer lots, so if you want to see one in person, head to your local Jeep dealer to check it out.
