Jeep ducking or Duck Duck Jeep is when Jeep car owners leave rubber ducks on other Jeep brand cars. In 2022, it was estimated that Jeep ducking Facebook groups had around half a million members.
As a consequence, it's now common to see rubber ducks on the dashboard of Jeeps.
Stellantis, the manufacturer of Jeep, rented the World's Largest Rubber Duck for the 2022 North American International Auto Show in celebration of ducking.
