The Jeep brand has introduced its new Gladiator Farout concept, a true overlanding vehicle that leverages the Jeep Gladiator's class-leading 4x4 payload and fuel-efficient, long range-capable 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 engine.
The Jeep Gladiator Farout concept was originally intended to debut at the Moab Easter Jeep Safari in April 2020. It builds on the popularity of the Jeep Wayout concept from the 2019 Moab Easter Jeep Safari event.
The main feature of this fully functional concept is a neatly contained, customised deployable roof-top tent. The spacious 4.9m by 2.3m recreational residence opens and retracts in a matter of seconds. Once unpacked, it comfortably sleeps up to four.
Long gone is the cold, monochromatic look and feel of a traditional overlanding vehicle. The Farout's warm, inviting wood-lined interior features soft ambient lighting, a fully functional refrigerator and stove, plus hanging storage racks, built-in seats and table space. The Farout's exterior features a new 'Earl' body colour with chartreuse accents on the hood, rear tailgate tow hooks, springs, badging and shocks,
Its rugged stature is emphasised with a Jeep Performance Parts 2.0-inch lift kit, 17-inch matte charcoal rims, 37-inch mud-terrain tyres, a modified Gladiator Rubicon steel bumper equipped with a 5,443kg Warn winch, custom front and rear rock rails and FOX performance shocks to easily overcome obstacles. Its integrated roof-rack system allows for hauling additional gear topside.
