The limited edition Jeep was created for the movie to demonstrate its outstanding capabilities in extreme conditions. Jeff Bell, Vice President, Jeep Chrysler Group said, "The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is the most capable Jeep ever built, so the heroic extreme environment in which Lara Croft uses her custom Wrangler Rubicon in Tomb Raider is accurate. This is more than just a product placement. We have created a 360-degree integrated marketing campaign around the movie and the debut of the Wrangler Rubicon Tomb Raider model."

Bell continued, "In the movie, this vehicle will be showcased in many rugged and extreme situations, highlighting key strengths of the brand in a new and exciting way. You'll see the Jeep crossing harsh desert and jungle terrain without any difficulty--true Jeep capability."
Just over 1,000 limited edition Wranglers will be painted bright silver, just like in the movie. Its base price will be $28,815 USD, which includes destination. So far, Chrysler Group Canada is not planning to sell the specialized model north of the 49th, but most likely enough interest could persuade them otherwise.
