The Gladiator is a pinnacle platform for travel with recent offerings including this 2020 w/ Bison Overland camper, 2021 w/ AT Overland Summit, and 2022 w/ Topo Topper Rincon. It’s one of a select few vehicles engineered from the factory to perform optimally when the tarmac ends and has become one of the most coveted pickups for travel. Executive Publisher Scott Brady states, “In my experience, 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.” Further still, it boasts class-leading payload and towing capacity within the mid-size segment, making it one of the best suited for a full build-out/lightweight camper. Cue today’s low-mileage, one-owner 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (51,102 miles), which showcases premium modifications and is topped with an Allterra Tech canopy camper. It’s sold with various original parts (see original listing for details) and an extended warranty valid until 1/16/2026 or 60,000 miles.

From the Seller:
“Overall, this Gladiator is in great condition. I’ve taken this rig on many camping trips, and always treated it gently and never abused it. Only driven on mild trails. No body damage and the undercarriage has never touched the ground. All modifications are bolt-on—no body alterations. Original parts are included.”
