Jeep has marked the introduction of its 2011 Wrangler by announcing a special Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition. As the name implies, this limited edition has been created following a marketing tie-up between Jeep and Call of Duty creators Activision Publishing, Inc.
The Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition is based on the 2011 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Changes from standard are mainly to the exterior, which is finished in black with Call of Duty: Black Ops graphics on the roof and front wings. High-gloss Mineral Gray wheels come shod in 32-inch off-road tyres, while the Mopar catalogue has been raided for the tail light guards and fuel-filler door.
Pricing in the US has been confirmed at $30,625 for the two-door model and $33,500 for the four-door, including $750 destination. The Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition will be available in showrooms from next month.
And that coincides nicely with the release of the game of the same name, which is released worldwide on 9th November for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and Windows PC platforms. Naturally, as part of the partnership, Jeep Wranglers will feature in both the game’s single player storyline as well as its multiplayer mode.
Meanwhile, all Wrangler models benefit from 2011 model year updates. The most significant of these is the interior, which is all-new in an effort to improve quality.
As well as a new instrument panel, the centre console has been redesigned and upgraded materials have been used. New steering wheel mounted buttons mean Wrangler drivers will now be able to use the cruise control, radio and hands-free phone without taking their hands from the wheel.
To help refinement levels, cabin noise is reckoned to be reduced compared to before. Larger rear windows are now fitted for improved visibility, and the door mirrors are heated and powered for the first time. Finally, Sahara models get a brand new body-coloured hard top.
Like the Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition, the 2011 Jeep Wrangler range arrives in dealers next month.
