Jeep seems to have an unlimited array of packages and special editions for its model lineup. This one is called the Wrangler Unlimited Chief. What is it? It's a limited edition Wrangler Unlimited with a retro graphics package and some nice features like heated seats and a premium sound system. The Chief also comes standard with a manual transmission, but …
I'm in love with that paint.
Looks great. I hope that Jeep goes full retro when they make the new Grand Wagoneer.
it's a neat looking package in person. the one i saw even had fold out running boards.
"It drives well as Wranglers usually do"
Props to jeep for keeping the wrangler actually rugged, legitimately offroad-capable, sticking with the original look and not turning it into some unibody crossover with soft-touch interior....but I'd have to disagree with the statement it drives better than almost any current SUV, truck, or crossover model on the pavement (IMO). Wranglers "drive well" in the manner that they don't spontaneously fly off the road........that's about it, in my experience.
Also Jeep continues to amaze me with their variety of sticker packages that people will pay thousands of dollars extra for. Call of Duty Edition, anyone? lol... I do like that retro-looking blue and white though. Figured Ford would take that look for the new Bronco.
I don't think that stripe makes it look retro. Now,give it some denim ala Levis and you have my attention.
It needs a chrome grille, like this:
And these wheels:
In reply to stanger_missle :
Wheels = LOVE
Chrome grille = DO NOT WANT
I'd like for Jeep to build the CJ-5-inspired Wrangler Shortcut from the Easter Jeep Safari '16, but apparently they have no interest in setting a short wheelbase Wrangler loose on the public again
The color is the best part of that package, and that color is available on other Wranlgers as well. I mean, it WAS, but now that the totally redesigned 2018 models are hitting the dealers, it's kind of a moot point.
Actually, our local dealer has at least one new '17 in Chief Blue still sitting on the lot, so maybe it's not. But if I were in for a new Jeep, I'd have a hard time justifying a '17 over an '18.
