The Jeep brand of Stellantis in Auburn Hills is offering to give a new Jeep Wrangler to an American citizen named George Washington if the United States wins this summer’s World Cup soccer tournament currently being co-hosted by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
If the U.S. team defies the odds and conquers the world on the pitch, the first 100 eligible living Americans legally named George Washington who register will have the chance to win a new Jeep Wrangler.
Any U.S. resident legally named George Washington can register at wranglerforwashingtons.com from now through the final match of the tournament. If the U.S. wins it all, those selected each will receive a new Jeep Wrangler.
“As the world turns its eyes to soccer this summer and America competes on the global stage, we’re celebrating it the Jeep way, patriotically, playfully and with a nod to the name that shaped a nation,” says Olivier François, global chief marketing officer at Stellantis. “As America’s most patriotic brand, tying America’s victory to the country’s founding father and original trailblazer gives 100 of our fans another unexpected reason to cheer.”
To publicize the promotion, comedian Iliza Shlesinger stars in the “All in on America” marketing campaign. See the 60-second ad below.
“If America wins it all and a bunch of George Washingtons end up driving around in brand-new Jeep Wranglers, that’s the kind of chaotic patriotism I want to be part of,” says Shlesinger. “The Jeep brand has always represented freedom, adventure, and a little bit of rebellion, so giving George Washingtons across America the chance to get a Jeep Wrangler felt perfectly unhinged in the best possible way.”
During the U.S.’s 250th birthday celebration, several of Stellantis iconic American brands are releasing new versions of their vehicles, including:
Lunar Editions of Ram 2500 Power Wagon and Rebel
The Ram 2500 Lunar Edition trucks feature a Ceramic Grey Clear-Coat exterior with a Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat lower body. A color-matched grille surround replaces the standard Satin Black, adding a refined monochromatic appearance. Lunar Edition bodyside graphics and black-painted wheels, 17 inches on Power Wagon and 20 inches on Rebel, complete the striking, celestial-inspired design.
“The new Ram 2500 Lunar Edition trucks give customers added value while making a statement,” says Tim Kuniskis, head of American brands, SRT Performance, North American marketing, and retail strategy at Stellantis. “The 2500 Power Wagon and Rebel are already some of the hardest-working off-road rigs in the ¾-ton segment; the Lunar Edition treatment just makes them that much better with the popular content people love and the aggressive, customized look they want.”
The Lunar Edition package is based on the Level 2 Equipment Group, which includes a 14.5-inch central Uconnect 5 touchscreen, 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display, 17-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, power adjustable pedals, front door passive entry and lock, and rain sensitive windshield wipers. On the outside of the 2500 Power Wagon and Rebel, the Level 2 Equipment Group adds a sport performance hood, LED courtesy and bed lighting, a spray-in bedliner and a deployable bed step.
2026 Ram 1500 BackCountry
The BackCountry builds on the popular Big Horn trim level with factory‑customized style and trail‑ready hardware.
“The off‑road segment has been growing for a while now and Ram has been leading that charge with Warlock, Rebel, RHO, and TRX,” says Kuniskis. “BackCountry is another option from Ram for customers looking to get into this growing part of the market without breaking the bank.”
The 2026 Ram 1500 BackCountry is a purpose-built off-road package that slots between the entry-level 1500 Warlock and premium 1500 Rebel. The comprehensive package builds on the popular Off-Road Group and Bed Utility Group with color-matched exterior trim, blacked-out details, unique interior upholstery and functional off-road accessories.
Offered on the Ram 1500 Big Horn 4×4 Crew Cab with the Level 1 or Level 2 Equipment Group, the BackCountry package is available with Ram’s legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 eTorque or the efficient and powerful 3.0-liter S.O. Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six.
2027 Dodge Charger
Boosted by the all-new, gasoline-powered SIXPACK engines and backed by a multi-energy strategy, the eighth-generation Charger delivers more choice, more capability, and unmistakable Dodge attitude — now with more than 25 new factory customization options for the 2027 model year, according to the automaker.
“The entire Dodge Charger lineup — from two-door and four-door models to the 420- and 550-horsepower SIXPACK-powered R/T and Scat Pack and the 670-horsepower Daytona — is now in production and arriving in dealer showrooms,” says Matt McAlear, CEO of the Dodge brand.
“For 2027, we’re shifting into second gear. As the world’s only four-door muscle car with SIXPACK-powered gas performance at its core, more interior color options, like new Petrol Blue seats, and new ways to customize straight from the factory, the Charger delivers what drivers demand: power, personalization and presence.”
Orders for the 2027 Dodge Charger lineup are open now, with 2027 model-year vehicles scheduled to start arriving in dealerships in Q3 2026.
At the heart of the 2027 Charger lineup is the 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six SIXPACK engine, offered in two configurations, including a high-output (H.O.) version for the SIXPACK-powered Dodge Charger Scat Pack.
Dodge says its SIXPACK-powered Charger R/T offers the most standard horsepower of any muscle car:
- 420 horsepower / 468 lb.-ft. of torque
- 0-60 mph: 4.6 seconds | quarter-mile: 12.9 seconds
- +50 horsepower and +73 lb.-ft. versus previous 5.7L HEMI® R/T
- Full torque available at 2,500 rpm
SIXPACK H.O. Dodge Charger Scat Pack offers the most powerful Hurricane engine in production, producing:
- 550 horsepower / 531 lb.-ft. of torque
- 0-60 mph: 3.9 seconds | quarter-mile: 12.2 seconds
- +65 horsepower and +56 lb.-ft. versus prior 6.4L HEMI Scat Pack
- Up to 30 psi boost; over 90% torque sustained from 3,000-6,000 rpm
Both SIXPACK-powered models feature standard AWD with on-demand RWD mode, allowing drivers to send 100 percent of torque to the rear wheels at the push of a button, as well as available Line Lock and Launch Control, allowing for smoky burnouts and hard launches.
The Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack is the quickest and most powerful AWD muscle car, offering:
- 670 horsepower / 627 lb.-ft. of torque
- 0-60 mph: 3.3 seconds | quarter-mile: 11.5 seconds
- PowerShot feature delivers an additional 40 horsepower for 10 seconds on demand
- Industry-first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust delivers signature Dodge performance sound
- Standard Drift/Donut Mode, Launch Control and Race Prep functions
- Up to 267 miles of range
2027 Dodge Durango R/T 392
Dodge says its 2027 Durango lineup continues to stand alone as the only three-row SUV that blends HEMI V-8 power across the full lineup with real SUV capability, including best-in-class towing, standard all-wheel drive, and muscle-car DNA.
“Coming off its best sales year in 20 years, the Dodge Durango continues to build momentum as we head into the 2027 model year,” says McAlear. “The 2027 Dodge Durango defines what a performance three-row SUV should be — from best-in-class towing and class-exclusive V-8 performance to the unmatched power of the 710-horsepower supercharged Durango SRT Hellcat. Durango remains the ultimate three-row muscle SUV, now offering more than 14 million ways for customers to personalize their ride.”
For the 2027 model year, Dodge strengthens its muscle SUV with even more customization. Durango GT HEMI offers a new Brass Monkey exterior package; Durango R/T 392 now offers a new Plus model, Blacktop Redline package and Brass Monkey wheels; and Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak offers two new wheel options and a new six-passenger seating option.
The 2027 Dodge Durango offers the only V-8 in the segment with HEMI power across the entire lineup:
- 360-horsepower Durango GT HEMI is the industry’s most affordable AWD V-8.
- 475-horsepower Durango R/T 392 brings the 392-cubic-inch HEMI V-8 to the R/T model and delivers the most horsepower per dollar for a gas SUV.
- 710-horsepower supercharged Durango SRT Hellcat remains the most powerful gas SUV ever.
Ordering is now open for the 2027 Dodge Durango. Vehicles will start arriving in Dodge dealerships in the fall.
