Auburn Hills – October 06, 2026 -- Jeep has been named the Official 4x4 of Moab, Utah, under a new two-year agreement approved by the Moab City Council that ties the brand directly to trail maintenance, local events, and conservation funding in the off-road destination.

The deal formalizes decades of trail history between Jeep and Moab

Jeep vehicles have been tested on Moab's trails for generations, and the city hosts the annual Easter Jeep Safari, run by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers, which draws thousands of off-road enthusiasts each year. Branden Coté, Jeep CEO, said Moab's trails, landscapes, and community have helped define off-road adventure for generations of owners.

Auburn Hills, Mich. – – September 16, 2026 -- Jeep has unveiled the 2027 Wrangler JL-2A, a special edition that pays tribute to the Willys CJ-2A, the first Jeep vehicle built specifically for civilian buyers in 1945. The model is the 11th release in the brand's yearlong Twelve 4 Twelve series and will be available to order in October.

Built on the Wrangler Rubicon platform, the JL-2A adds a package priced at an MSRP of $4,995, just $115 more than a similarly equipped Rubicon.

The original CJ-2A brought Jeep capability from the battlefield to the farm

In July 1945, Willys-Overland of Toledo, Ohio adapted the military Willys MB for civilian use, creating the CJ-2A. The vehicle introduced a tailgate, rear power takeoff, larger headlights and the now-iconic seven-slot grille, serving farms, ranches and industry. It also debuted bold postwar color pairings like Harvest Tan with Sunset Red wheels.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 3, 2026 – Stellantis, Wayve and Uber have announced a new partnership aimed at bringing fully driverless Level 4 robotaxis to riders around the world. The three companies confirmed the collaboration on June 17, with simultaneous announcements from Amsterdam, London and San Francisco underlining just how global this ambition is. For everyday riders, the news matters because it links a familiar name in the driveway, a rising force in AI driving software, and the ride-hailing app already on millions of phones. Rather than one company trying to solve autonomy alone, this deal signals that carmakers, AI developers and mobility platforms are converging on a shared playbook to get robotaxis out of pilot programs and into daily life.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 15, 2026 -- Stellantis is heading to London this week with two of the most forward-looking demonstrations it has put on public display yet: a Jeep Compass fitted with 5G connectivity over satellite, and a fully driverless robotaxi platform designed to scale across urban environments. Both will be on show at MOVE 2026, billed as the world's leading tech mobility event, running June 17–18 at ExCeL London. For anyone tracking where the car industry is actually headed — beyond the press releases and concept cars — this one is worth paying attention to.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 22, 2026 – The idea of letting your car handle traffic, stoplights, lane changes, and long highway drives without constantly touching the steering wheel is moving closer to everyday reality. Stellantis and Wayve have announced a major new partnership focused on bringing hands-free supervised driving technology to future vehicles across North America starting in 2028. The goal is ambitious: create a smoother, more human-like driving experience that works not only on highways, but also through busy urban streets and daily commutes.

The collaboration will integrate Wayve’s AI-powered driving system into Stellantis’ STLA AutoDrive platform, forming the backbone for a new generation of advanced driver-assistance features across multiple vehicle brands.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 22, 2026 – Car buyers may not recognize the name “STLA One” yet, but the new vehicle platform unveiled by Stellantis could quietly shape the next generation of everyday driving across multiple brands and vehicle categories. The company says the new modular architecture is designed to support everything from compact city cars to larger family-focused models while handling multiple powertrain types, including battery-electric vehicles and hybrid systems. Scheduled to launch in 2027, the platform is also expected to help Stellantis reduce manufacturing complexity, lower costs, and roll out new technology faster across future vehicles.
