Jeep enthusiasts looking for a factory-customised Gladiator with a touch of exclusivity can rejoice. Mopar, the official parts and service brand for Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler, has unveiled a special edition Gladiator Rubicon limited to just 250 units. This tricked-out truck carries a price tag of USD 72,190, which includes the destination charge.
Based on the already off-road-ready Rubicon trim, the Mopar Gladiator features a head-turning black exterior adorned with topographical graphics of the Rubicon trail in red. These graphics stretch across the hood, bedsides, and tailgate, all prominently displaying the Jeep Performance Parts logo.
But the visual upgrades go beyond the unique paint job. The Mopar Gladiator boasts a three-piece body-coloured hardtop, a tri-fold tonneau cover for the bed, a spray-on bedliner for added protection, and both front and rear grab handles for increased functionality. A custom Mopar badge on the tailgate adds a finishing touch.
Forged from 17-inch aluminium with black painted inserts, the wheels are wrapped in Falken all-terrain tires, ensuring a balance between style and capability. Mopar hasn’t forgotten about off-road prowess, equipping the Gladiator with heavy-duty rock rails and a triple-hoop grille guard to shield the front end from tough terrain. Under the hood, the Mopar Gladiator retains the familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, churning out 290 PS and 352 Nm of torque.
The cabin gets a luxurious makeover with two-tone Katzkin leather seats in black and Maraschino red. The Mopar logo adorns the front seats, while red contrast stitching adds a pop of colour to the steering wheel, seats, and instrument panel. Matching the red theme is the centre console armrest. Black Mopar headliner and sill trim round out the interior’s sophisticated feel. A special badge positioned behind the shifter proudly displays the truck’s limited-edition status.
This marks Mopar’s 14th year of creating such limited-edition vehicles to showcase the brand’s vast selection of aftermarket upgrades for Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler cars. Jeep Gladiator enthusiasts can explore additional Mopar offerings, including a two-inch lift kit with Bilstein shocks, beadlock-compatible wheels, and various door kits, to further personalise their trucks.
