Rough & Tough Jeep Wrangler Coming Soon in PINK!
Typically, girls are criticized for choosing things that look cute, no matter what’s inside. Female drivers are made fun of for riding a pink motorcycle or a blue car. Well, fellas, here’s Jeep painting your macho-ness all over with pink. According to Mopar Insiders dealership sources, Jeep Wrangler is getting a limited-edition model in Tuscadero Pink paint.
Story Behind the Pink Jeep Wrangler
Jeep, the American adventure car brand, is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. To build the excitement, Jeep has been refreshing its car lineup with several limited-edition models.
A few days ago, Stellantis’ Chief Design Officer, Ralph Gilles, posted an interesting Instagram post about a new color about to hit the Jeep Wrangler lineup for 2021. He shared the new Jeep Wrangler picture in Tuscadero (pink) color and captioned it, “I am taking credit for the new #Jeep #Wrangler #Tuscadero color code PHO … a sketch I did of a potential next gen Viper Circa 1995 LOL”.
Only moments later, Gilles deleted his post and replaced it with another Wrangler update. A subtle one, this time. He shared the sketch he was talking about in the original post with pictures of the Happy Days character Arthur Fonzarelli’s girlfriend.
You see, that’s the story behind the new Wrangler paint color. They are calling the bright pink exterior color “Tuscadero” after Fonzie’s girlfriend, Carol “Pinky” Tuscadero. She was an iconic character known for her trademark pink outfits and her motto, “Think Pink!”.
Other Color Options
Other than Tuscadero (PHP), the Wrangler color palette has three colors: Chief Blue (PQB), Nacho (PY5), and Gecko Green (PFM).
All the color options are now available for the US dealerships on all Wrangler trims. What do you think about the “Tuscadero Pink” colored Jeep Wrangler? Does the bright pink color bring out the toughness of a Wrangler or dial it down?
