The Jeep Gladiator is one of the few midsize trucks that was engineered from the ground up for backcountry applications. In addition, it showcases a best-in-class payload and towing capacity, front and rear lockers, and is the aftermarket darling. Since its inception, it has been a huge hit with overlanders in North America, but in more recent years it’s been adopted by international travelers including Dan Grec, Hourless Life, and Tsavo Touring. I’m actually surprised it’s taken this long to be utilized by global travelers when you consider that this vehicle carries forward the backcountry pedigree of the Wrangler while introducing versatility and space comparable to that of a Defender 130 or Toyota Troopy. Today’s low mileage (65,500 miles) 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon showcases a wealth of tasteful upgrades and a well-appointed Go Fast camper. Learn more about both the pros and cons of the Gladiator platform in Expedition Portal’s Overland Truck of the Year :: The Best Midsized Pickups.
From the Seller:
“This has been one of my favorite vehicles to date. [It’s] set up perfectly for surf/Baja trips [and is] great for camping with a small family and more than capable for most trails. I am selling to purchase a full-size truck. It has been serviced at a local Jeep Dealer according to all factory intervals.”
