On July 4th, 2026, America turns 250 years old and the automotive industry is celebrating with more patriotism than a backyard barbecue dad in a flag shirt. It’s a rolling tribute to everything that makes this country worth the road trip, and Phillips CJDR is proud to bring these limited-edition first-looks to our Ocala community.
What Is America250?
The America250 initiative is the official nationwide celebration recognizing 250 years since the United States declared independence in 1776. Congress established the bipartisan organization in 2016 to coordinate events, education, celebrations, and partnerships leading into the historic milestone.
Stellantis became the exclusive automotive partner of the celebration through its American brands, launching the “America Made Us” campaign and announcing a wave of limited-edition A250 vehicles. For Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram, these vehicles are deeply tied to American manufacturing, military history, performance culture, work trucks, and cross-country adventure.
So, it just makes sense.
“Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram are among the most iconic American brands and will be key partners in helping America250 literally drive our programs and mission forward.”
— Rosie Rios, Chair of America2502026 Ram 1500 America250 Edition
Ram kicked off the America250 series this past March as the first Stellantis brand to launch a patriotic edition (and it set the bar high). The Ram 1500 America250 isn’t a standalone model, but an exclusive package available across three iconic trims: The Big Horn, Laramie, and Rebel.
On the outside, the America250 package delivers a bold, commemorative look with Satin Black flag-inspired graphics, special America250 badging, blacked-out exterior accents, and a confident stance. Color choices include Molten Red, Hydro Blue, and Bright White.
- Big Horn America250 — The everyday workhorse, upgraded. Reliable capability with flag-inspired graphics and commemorative badging that commands respect.
- Laramie America250 — Premium leather, premium presence, and an interior that makes long hauls feel like first class, with America250 details throughout.
- Rebel America250 — Off-road ready, attitude-loaded, and finished with exclusive America250 styling that turns heads no matter where you are.
Inside, the America250 theme continues with red, white, and blue stitching, Ruby Red seatbelts, special interior accents, and an America250 digital cluster splash screen that gives the truck a collector-style feel from the jump.
The lineup is also backed by Ram's best-in-class towing capability—up to 11,610 lbs—and the industry's top-rated 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Engine choices range from the 3.6L Pentastar V6 to the available 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo I6 and the beloved 5.7L HEMI V8, with up to 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque on tap.
As Tim Kuniskis put it best: “They're unapologetically tough and unmistakably American—because nothing stops America and nothing stops Ram.”
2026 Dodge Durango America250 Edition
Dodge unveiled this limited special edition at the 2026 New York International Auto Show in April, with orders opening at the same time, and the buzz has been non-stop since.
The 2026 Dodge Durango America250 Edition is a highly exclusive celebration of independence with unmistakable attitude. Only 2,026 models will be produced worldwide.
Cosmetic features include stars, stripes, an American flag emblem, and red, white, and blue accents throughout. Inside features Black Laguna leather seating with accent stitching and front seats embossed with the American flag.
Available on GT Plus, GT HEMI® Plus, and GT HEMI® Premium models, the 2026 Durango A250 is a bold, limited-edition way to honor American heritage.
With available three-row seating and a V8 powertrain option, the Durango A250 brings patriotic style to a family-ready SUV. This is the edition for those who need room for the crew, but refuse to compromise on patriotism or power.
2026 Jeep Wrangler America250
If there's one vehicle that's earned the right to wear red, white, and blue, it's the Wrangler.
The 2026 Jeep Wrangler America250 Edition brings patriotism to one of America’s most iconic 4x4s. It features Steel Oxide-finished wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires, giving it a stance that is both rugged and ready.
Red, white, and blue exterior decals add bold America250 style, while the Jean Blue soft top and Captain America shield tire cover give this Wrangler an adventure-ready finish inspired by classic American heroism.
Wait, Captain America? Yep! Jeep partnered with Marvel to create an exclusive Captain America shield tire cover. The connection is fitting: both Jeep and Captain America were born in 1941, and both share a legacy of courage, adventure, freedom, and service.
The Wrangler America250 is based on the proven Willys platform, dressed in Bright White paint with patriotic graphics, red front and rear tow hooks, and body-color fender flares.
Inside, the cabin combines tri-color red, silver, and blue accent stitching throughout, red seat belts, a unique stitched steering wheel, and a custom leather key tag debossed with the America250 logo. Expect it at dealerships this summer at an estimated starting price of around $49,030.
2027 Chrysler Pacifica America250
Chrysler’s America250 moment is still on the way, but the brand has already given us a preview.
At the 2026 New York International Auto Show in April, Chrysler revealed the refreshed 2027 Pacifica, America’s best-selling and most awarded minivan, while also teasing its upcoming America250 limited-edition model.
While full details on Chrysler's A250 edition are still rolling out, the brand has confirmed it will highlight design innovation as its defining quality. For Chrysler, that means a refined, family-forward take on 250 years of American pride. Given the pace of excitement from the Ram, Dodge, and Jeep drops, this one is expected to go quickly.
