Jeep to make purple Wranglers?

Jeep Introduces "Xtreme Purple" for Limited Edition Wrangler Backcountry

Jeep enthusiasts, brace yourselves! The iconic brand known for its rugged, all-terrain vehicles is adding a splash of color to its palette. Known for its versatility in hues over its 70+ years of history, Jeep has offered everything from Olive Drab to Firecracker Red. Now, they're making a bold move with the introduction of "Xtreme Purple."

Unveiling Xtreme Purple

This vibrant new color will debut on the limited 2016 Wrangler Backcountry edition. Those eager to catch a glimpse before its official release can see it on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Traditionally, Jeep has stuck to more conventional colors like Black and White, with a secondary palette inspired by nature such as browns, greens, and desert shades. However, Xtreme Purple is set to dazzle those looking to make a more vivid statement.

A Nod to the Past?

Perhaps this is a throwback to the 1970s when Jeep colors were not only about the hue but also about eye-catching stripe packages that defined that era’s style. It seems Chrysler might be dipping into their Dodge playbook, recalling shades like Panther Pink, Green Go, and Plum Crazy Purple.

Exclusive Availability

Xtreme Purple will be exclusively available on the 2016 Wrangler Backcountry model. This means if this shade strikes your fancy, you might want to consider pre-ordering to ensure you don’t miss out.

Accessorizing Xtreme Purple

While the default black wheels that come with Xtreme Purple may not appeal to everyone, the color offers a great opportunity to customize. Imagine pairing this dynamic purple with Moto Metal Series 962 Chrome wheels for a stunning contrast. Additionally, adding a set of Westin Signature Series 3" Round Nerf Step Bars could enhance both the functionality and aesthetics.

Jeep's venture into such a bold color palette with Xtreme Purple is a clear indicator that the brand continues to evolve while still paying homage to its rich, colorful history. How would you accessorize a Jeep in Xtreme Purple?
