Whether you’re commuting down Dodge Street, crossing the Missouri River into Council Bluffs, or heading out for a weekend off the grid, there is nothing on Eastern Nebraska roads quite like the Jeep Gladiator.
This year, Stellantis is celebrating 85 years of legendary Jeep capability with an unprecedented rollout: The Gladiator “Convoy” Campaign.

What is the Gladiator “Convoy” Campaign?
Usually, when an automaker releases a special edition vehicle, you get one big announcement for the entire model year. For the Gladiator’s 85th Anniversary milestone, Jeep decided to throw out the old playbook.
Instead of a single drop, Jeep is releasing a brand-new, mission-ready limited edition Gladiator every single month.
Known as the Convoy Campaign (running parallel to the Wrangler’s Twelve 4 Twelve monthly drop), each release takes the undisputed king of open-air midsize trucks and wraps it in a unique, highly targeted identity.
For drivers here in the metro, this campaign hits right at home.
Whether you need a rugged tow rig to haul your tailgate trailer to Lincoln on a Saturday, an absolute tank to conquer the freezing slush of I-80 in January, or a trail conqueror for the Loess Hills of Western Iowa, there is a Convoy edition being loaded onto the dock with your name on it.
Because this is a living guide, bookmark this tab! We will be updating this page every month as Jeep unloads its newest delivery.
The Heritage Mainstays
Before diving into the monthly drops, the Convoy is anchored by two limited-run flagship models available throughout the anniversary celebration:
- The 85th Anniversary Edition: Celebrating over eight decades of 4×4 dominance, this edition leans heavily into classic Americana.
It features exclusive Steel Oxide exterior accents, commemorative badging, and a striking, hardworking plaid interior that feels right at home in the Midwest.
- The Willys ’41 Edition: A pure, nostalgic love letter to the original 1941 Willys MB military scout.
Painted in exclusive olive drab ’41 Green with matching heritage 17-inch wheels, tan interior seating, a Mopar triple-hoop grille guard, and steel bumpers wrapping 32-inch mud-terrain tires.
The Monthly Drops: Mission Log
Mission #1: The Gladiator “Shadow Ops”
- The Vibe: Covert, tactical, rescue-ready.
- The Claim to Fame: The Shadow Ops made automotive history the day it dropped, arriving as the first-ever midsize pickup truck to offer a factory-installed winch.
- Why Omaha Drivers Will Love It: Built on the heavy-duty Gladiator Rubicon platform, the Shadow Ops is designed for the worst weather the Great Plains can throw at you.
When a February blizzard traps three of your neighbor’s sedans in a Papillion snowbank, you aren’t calling a tow truck—you are the tow truck.
It finishes the look with a blackout Satin Black grille, dark stealth graphics, and heavy-duty steel bumpers.
Mission #2: The Gladiator “Whitecap”
- The Vibe: High-altitude, retro two-tone.
- The Claim to Fame: A massive visual throwback featuring a Bright White painted roof, a matching white seven-slot grille, and vintage “1941” side-stripe graphics.
- Why Omaha Drivers Will Love It: Anyone who grew up watching 1980s 4x4s roll through Nebraska will instantly recognize the two-tone charm here.
Available across the Sahara, Rubicon, and Mojave trims, pairing this crisp white top with a body color like Hydro Blue or Firecracker Red gives you an instant head-turner for weekend cruising through the Old Market.
Mission #3: The Gladiator “Rockslide”
- The Vibe: Tonal blue ruggedness meets 1970s nostalgia.
- The Claim to Fame: The Rockslide debuts an Anvil body-colored roof and grille surround, layered with Blue Agave exterior graphics.
But open the door, and you’re greeted by a “Jean Blue” cloth interior—a direct, modern revival of the cult-favorite Levi’s Denim Jeep interiors of the mid-1970s.
- Why Omaha Drivers Will Love It: Beyond the incredible “Midwestern Canadian Tuxedo” interior factor, the Rockslide is an absolute workhorse.
It equips the Gladiator Sahara with heavy-duty steel rock rails standard (the first time the Sahara trim has seen them since 2017), making it as tough on a rocky river embankment as it is stylish.
Mission #4: The Gladiator “Rewind”
- The Vibe: Unapologetically ’90s.
- The Claim to Fame: Born directly from a viral Easter Jeep Safari concept vehicle, the Rewind is pure Gen-X and Millennial arcade nostalgia.
It pairs loud, historic Jeep paint options—including Reign (purple), Joose, and Earl—with multi-colored side graphics, gold-finished wheels, gold tow hooks, and black Nappa leather seats embroidered with 8-bit arcade motifs.
- Why Omaha Drivers Will Love It: Sometimes, you just want a truck that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
It holds the same 7,700-lb towing capacity as its siblings, meaning you can pull your boat out to Branched Oak Lake while looking like a walking 1994 time capsule.
Mission #5: The Gladiator “Sarge”
- The Vibe: Command presence.
- Standout Features: Dropping just in time for the summer sun, the “Sarge” edition dresses the Gladiator in the commanding, historic ’41 Green clearcoat (or alternatively white with green accents), tying the open-bed utility of the modern JT platform back to the frontline heritage of the brand’s mid-century service trucks.
- Why Omaha Drivers Will Love It: With Offutt Air Force Base right next door in Bellevue, the Omaha metro has a deep, built-in appreciation for military history and those who serve.
The Gladiator Sarge honors that legacy perfectly.
Whether you are commuting down the Kennedy Freeway or heading off-grid for a camping trip in the Loess Hills, its authentic ’41 styling combined with heavy-duty rock rails and aggressive all-terrain tires means this rig is ready for deployment right here in Nebraska.
The Core That Never Changes
No matter which monthly badge catches your eye, underneath the custom paint and heritage stitching sits the undisputed utility of the Jeep Gladiator.
Every Convoy model brings you:
- Unrivaled Open-Air Freedom: It remains the only pickup truck on the market where you can take the roof off, take the doors off, and fold the windshield down.
- Real Heartland Utility: A durable 5-foot steel bed with available integrated tie-downs and a 7,700-lb max towing capacity.
- Trail Rated® Confidence: Standard 4×4 systems built to conquer the greasy river silt of the Platte River or the worst ice storms the National Weather Service can predict.
Don’t Let the Convoy Pass You By
Because these monthly drops are strictly limited-production runs, once a month’s allocation is spoken for at the factory, the dock doors close.
