Yahoo Autos Jeep sweeps Rebelle Rally podium and pockets first-time electrified finish
The 2021 Rebelle Rally was good for Jeep. Its new Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid became the first electrified vehicle to complete the annual women's off-road endurance event, taking first and second place. Another Wrangler (non-4xe) took third, completing the sweep, and five of the top 10 finishers in the sixth-annual running of the 1,500-mile desert course.
First place went to 4xEventure, with Nena Barlow and Teralin Petereit at the helm of Wrangler 4xe # 129, which never finished lower than third in any of the Rebelle Rally's seven stages. Team Jeep Thrills, driven by mother-daughter team Christine and Emily Benzie, brought the #177 Wrangler 4xe in second, taking one stage win. These two teams also put Jeep's entrants 1-2 in the Bone Stock category to boot. Jeep also sponsored Team Asdzáá Skoden Rebelles (#160) of Shandiina Peters and Racquel Black, the first all-Navajo team to compete in the Rally.
