A Tribute to History
The Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 stands out with its dark olive drab paint, a nod to the original Willys MB used by the U.S. military during World War II. It features 17-inch military green wheels paired with 33-inch all-terrain tires. Decals and badges bearing the “Willys” name, some in the signature blue color used on factory molds for the Willys MB, add to its historic charm.
Interior Details
The interior combines rugged functionality with vintage-inspired design. It includes tan cloth seats, olive accents, and a ‘41’ logo on the shift knob. Buyers can choose a tan soft top, exclusive to this edition, alongside the standard body-color hardtop and the Sky One-touch power roof options. The model also comes with locking rear differentials and steel front and rear bumpers as standard.
Performance and Powertrain
The 2025 Wrangler 4xe Willys ’41 is equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain (PHEV), blending a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined output of 375 horsepower.
