The Jeep Gladiator is, in many ways, the definitive mid-size truck for overlanding. It carries forward the legendary 4WD attributes of the Wrangler while introducing key advantages. Subsequently, it featured in our Mid-Size Truck of the Year awards, with Scott Brady stating, “The Gladiator is all I love about the Wrangler, plus nearly all I love about a Power Wagon. In addition, the Gladiator is the aftermarket darling, so anything imaginable can be bolted to it, although it needs almost nothing at all.” With this in mind, there’s an increasing number of manufacturers offering optional rugged packages for existing models, but the Gladiator is a vehicle that, from its inception, was engineered for exploration. It’s for these reasons and many more that it’s becoming an increasingly popular platform for international travel, as demonstrated by the adventures of Hourless Life, Tsavo Touring, and Dan Grec. Further still, when optioned with the 3.0-liter diesel motor, it provides impressive torque while also returning class-leading mpg. Today’s super-low mileage (8,000 miles) 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon is undoubtedly one of the nicest we’ve featured and showcases the desirable diesel motor, a wide array of premium upgrades, and is topped with a well-equipped Alu-Cab Canopy camper (ALCC). If that wasn’t enough, it enjoys an extended warranty through to 9/9/2030. If you’re in the market for a round-the-world travel companion, look no further.
From the Seller:
“I’m selling my Jeep Gladiator (diesel) Rubicon with a fully loaded Alu-cab Canopy camper. I’m the original owner and have lightly driven 8,000 miles with all maintenance performed at the local Jeep dealership. Jeep modifications, ALCC, electrical, and Goose Gear installed by the PNW premium overland shop Mule Expedition Outfitters. This is a great platform to get you off the grid with an electrical system powerful enough to allow you to bring along your home comforts (think Nespresso). The Goose Gear sleeping deck provides an option for kids to sleep below while adults sleep above.”
