2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon :: Featured Classified

The Jeep Gladiator is undoubtedly a pinnacle overland vehicle and has become one of the most popular mid-size trucks for serious travelers with inspiring international trips shared by Hourless Life, Dan Grec, and Tsavo Touring. It’s also a favorite with the Expedition Portal team with Executive Publisher Scott Brady stating, “It incorporates the technical terrain attributes of the Wrangler and adds the payload and carrying capacity of a truck … In my experience, the Gladiator is all I love about the Wrangler, plus nearly all I love about the 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.” These feelings are echoed by automotive expert Chris Cordes, “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 doubt, seized the title of the most capable mid-sized truck on technical terrain.” The Gladiator is engineered from the factory to excel when the tarmac ends, with the premium Rubicon model boasting a heavy-duty lifted and uprated suspension, front and rear lockers, sway bar disconnect, armor, and more. Cue today’s 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (23,xxx miles), which incorporates extensive premium upgrades (with less than 7,000 miles on them) and a well-appointed Topo Topper Rincon. At $75,000 OBO, this rig represents an impressive value when you consider that $43,874.29 was spent on parts and labor alone (seller can provide a full breakdown of costs). If you’d like to learn more about the many desirable attributes of the Gladiator for both domestic and international travel, then listen to Building the Jeep Gladiator for Overlanding on the Overland Journal podcast.

From the Seller:

“This Gladiator was built with a clear purpose: to create a self-sufficient, reliable, and highly capable rig that could explore remote terrain and stay off-grid for a week or more without needing to return to civilization (as long as you have the gas). Every component was selected for durability, performance, and real-world utility. It’s been an incredibly rewarding project and has taken me exactly where I wanted to go, comfortably and confidently. I’m now ready to start my next build—something a bit more compact that fits in the garage—so it’s time to pass this one on to someone who will appreciate and use it as intended.”
