Dillon Gabriel Signs Endorsement Deal With Chrysler As Brand Ambassador For Pacifica Minivan
Former college football star and NFL quarterback Dillon Gabriel has partnered with Chrysler, becoming a brand ambassador for the Chrysler Pacifica minivan. This endorsement marks one of his initial deals as an NFL player. Gabriel, who was picked in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns, has a long-standing fondness for the Pacifica, often seen with it alongside his Oregon Ducks teammates after games.
Chrysler's CEO, Chris Feuell, expressed excitement about Gabriel's choice of vehicle. "We’re thrilled that Dillon selected the Pacifica minivan as his personal vehicle," he stated. "Dillon could drive pretty much whatever he wants, and we are honored that he chose the segment-leading Pacifica, which offers the safety, comfort and style he needs to travel with his teammates—and the opportunity to create lasting memories along the way."
The Chrysler brand is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025, paying tribute to Walter P. Chrysler’s legacy of innovation and design excellence. As part of this milestone celebration, Chrysler plans to release a refreshed Pacifica in 2026 and introduce a new crossover shortly thereafter. The brand also plans to launch a third product inspired by the Halcyon concept.
The Chrysler Pacifica remains a leader in its segment, having been the most awarded minivan ever since its introduction over 40 years ago. The Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid stands out with an impressive 82 MPGe rating, offering an all-electric range of 32 miles and a total range of 520 miles. It features class-leading safety options and available all-wheel drive.
Gabriel gained recognition during his collegiate career at UCF, Oklahoma, and Oregon for both his athletic skills and his humility. Known for fostering team spirit, he often used his Chrysler Pacifica to transport teammates, turning simple drives into bonding moments. His commitment to teamwork is evident in how he uses his vehicle to connect with others.
In an interview with Big Ten Network’s Guy Haberman last year inside his Pacifica, Gabriel shared his enthusiasm for the minivan. He mentioned how it supports not just physical journeys but also connections and leadership among teammates. The vehicle has become symbolic of his journey both on and off the field.
Chrysler's Milestones
As part of its centennial celebrations, Chrysler unveiled a special 100th Anniversary Pacifica buzz model. Additionally, they launched a seven-part social media series highlighting their century-long history. In 2025, Chrysler will also mark two decades of its exclusive Stow ‘n Go seating system and reintroduce the budget-friendly Voyager model.
Gabriel humorously remarked on his preference for comfort: "I always like to joke around that I’m built for comfort." He appreciates how the minivan accommodates insurance costs while providing ample space for passengers. Whether traveling for games or casual outings with friends, Gabriel values having a vehicle that fits everyone comfortably.
