The Gladiator is one of the few modern vehicles that remains functional first and is engineered from the ground up to excel when the tarmac ends. It carries forward the capability of the Wrangler while addressing the former’s shortcomings with a longer wheelbase, class-leading payload, and a better-equipped interior. Further still, aftermarket care allows owners to uprate every aspect of the vehicle to their specific needs. It was an immediate hit with the Expedition Portal team with Chris Cordes concluding, “It is attractive, easy to drive, and packed with utility that other off-road trucks struggle to match. It has clearly staked its claim as a leader in the segment, and without a doubt seized the title of the most capable mid-size truck on technical terrain.” Subsequently, it’s a popular choice on our forum with recent examples including this 2022 with AluCab Canopy camper, a 2020 with a GFC camper, and a 2020 Launch Edition. Today’s low mileage (34,000 miles) 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon is a turnkey build that has been optimized by the owner for adventure. If you’re looking for a capable rig with the capacity to haul a lightweight camper then look no further.
From the Seller:
“This has been a great setup and we are only selling because we are moving internationally. Our loss is your gain. We had a Harker EDC camper on the back. The truck suspension is ready for a camper or rack.”
