Ultra-Rare 2025 Jeep® Gladiator ’41 Edition Debuts in South Korea

Jeep® is making waves in South Korea again—this time with an ultra-limited take on its rugged midsize pickup. Meet the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon ’41 Edition, a one-of-a-kind tribute to the legendary 1941 Willys MB military vehicle. And when we say rare, we mean rare. Jeep Korea is building only 9 total units of this special Gladiator, making it one of the most exclusive Jeep vehicles ever sold outside North America.

This unique model arrives just weeks after the Wrangler ‘41 Edition was introduced in Korea (limited to 50 units). But with only 9 Gladiators rolling out, this one hits collector-car status instantly—more like a limited-edition supercar than a mass-market pickup.

A Tribute to Jeep’s Military Roots – 

The “’41 Edition” name is a direct nod to 1941, the year the Willys MB first hit the field and helped shape Jeep’s iconic off-road reputation. This special Gladiator comes finished in a heritage-inspired ’41 Olive Drab Green paint, a clear throwback to the original military vehicle that started it all.

Exclusive ‘41 Edition badging, tactical-inspired accessories, and Jeep heritage touches inside and out make this truck truly stand apart. Buyers even receive custom ’41 Edition-themed gear, including a premium tumbler and whiskey hip flask set, to sweeten the deal.

Only One Trim, Fully Loaded – 

Just like the standard Gladiator now available in Korea, the ’41 Edition is offered as a single, fully loaded Rubicon trim. That means serious off-road capability, high-end features, and a look that screams “adventure-ready.”

Under the hood is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission and Jeep’s trusted Rock-Trac® part-time 4×4 system. This powertrain cranks out 285 horsepower (212 kW) and 36 kg·m of torque (260 lb-ft).

Built to Handle the Wild – 

The Gladiator ’41 Edition sticks with the brand’s body-on-frame construction and a solid front and rear Dana 44 (M210/M220) axle setup. That translates into a towing capacity of up to 2,721 kg (6,000 lbs)—perfect for hauling boats, campers, or weekend toys. Oh, and it’s still the only pickup in its class offering open-air freedom, thanks to its removable roof and doors.

Business-Friendly Pricing & Tax Perks – 

The Gladiator ’41 Edition is priced at ₩85.1 million, which works out to roughly $61,500 USD. Thanks to its classification as a “truck” under Korean law, owners benefit from serious tax perks like:

• An annual car tax of just ₩28,500 (~$20 USD)

• Exemption from education and school taxes

• 2% off acquisition tax

• VAT refunds for business or corporate purchases

Customers who ordered in April and take delivery in May will also get a bonus: the Helinox Tactical Field Office Cube, a premium collapsible outdoor gear setup.

With only nine examples available, the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon ‘41 Edition is more than just a special trim—it’s a rolling piece of Jeep history. Rugged, exclusive, and packed with heritage, this is one for the diehards and collectors alike.
