Jeep announced the addition of two Texas trails to their exclusive Jeep Badge of Honor mobile app. This mobile app allows Jeep enthusiasts to conquer trails and earn trail badges for their Jeeps. Black Gap 4×4 trail in Big Bend National Park and Northwest OHV Park in Bridgeport, Texas are the two newest Badge of Honor trails.
“The Jeep brand recognizes that Texas and America’s southwest are the center of the truck universe,” said Jim Morrison, Vice President Jeep Brand North America. “Special editions allow us to connect with our passionate customers, and the Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail further broadens the appeal of the most capable Jeep pickup yet.”
You can’t have a special edition without a badge, and the Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail comes through with badging that indicates it can handle the most challenging of off-road conditions. The Gladiator Texas Trail is available in black, white, Snazzberry, Granite Crystal, Sarge, Nacho, Hydro Blue, Firecracker Red, Billet Silver, and Sting-Gray, 10 colors in all.

With a father who owned a dealership, I literally grew up in the business. After college, I worked for GM, Nissan and Mazda, writing articles for automotive enthusiast magazines as a side gig. I discovered you could make a living selling ad space at Four Wheeler magazine, before I moved on to selling TV for the National Hot Rod Association. After that, I started Roadhouse, a marketing, advertising and PR firm dedicated to the automotive, outdoor/apparel, and entertainment industries. Through the years, I continued writing, shooting, and editing. It keep things interesting.
