Jeep Gladiator Farout Concept: The Ultimate Overlanding Adventure Vehicle
Jeep has introduced an enticing Gladiator-based concept that enthusiasts hope becomes a reality someday: the Jeep Gladiator Farout Concept. This innovative pickup is an overlanding vehicle seemingly poised to journey far and wide, all while providing exceptional comfort to its passengers.
Moab Easter Jeep Safari Concept
Although the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari was canceled this year, this concept vehicle would have seamlessly blended into the event. Moreover, the Farout acts as a follow-up to last year’s Wayout overlanding concept. It was perhaps destined for Moab, if not for the unforeseen challenges of 2020. A standout feature of Jeep’s latest creation is its rooftop tent, which is an impressive 16 feet long and 7.5 feet tall. Jeep claims the tent comfortably accommodates up to four people and can open and retract within seconds.
Performance Features for Off-Roading
To conquer off-road obstacles, the Jeep Gladiator Farout Concept is equipped with a two-inch suspension lift kit and 37-inch mud terrain tires. These robust tires are mounted on 17-inch rims finished in matte charcoal. Additionally, the overlander includes custom rock rails and Fox performance shocks, ensuring performance in varied terrains. It boasts a modified Gladiator Rubicon steel bumper fitted with a 12,000-pound Warn winch, enhancing its towing capabilities.
Powerful Engine Specifications
Under the hood lies an EcoDiesel engine, a 3.0-liter diesel V-6 from Fiat Chrysler, which will join the regular Gladiator lineup later this year. This powerful engine generates 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, perfectly paired with an automatic transmission for smooth performance.
Interior Features for Adventure
Although Jeep has yet to unveil photos of the interior, the cabin promises to impress with its extensive features. It includes a refrigerator, stove, hanging storage racks, built-in seating, and ample space for a table. Additionally, the interior is adorned with wood accents, ambient lighting, and stylish blue leather seats enhanced with orange stitching and plaid flannel inserts.
Customer Feedback and Future Prospects
Jeep intends to use this concept to gather valuable customer feedback, which may influence the development of future products and accessories—or even a potential factory camper model. Even if this concept never materializes, the standard Gladiator continues to offer a remarkable foundation for an overlanding vehicle. For those seeking the ideal starting point, the rock-ready Gladiator Rubicon or the desert-bashing Gladiator Mojave are excellent choices.
