Automakers understand that enthusiasts love to customize their vehicles. Mopar offers a slew of upgrades for Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler products, and each year the company highlights its catalog with a special model. This year’s car is a Jeep Gladiator with a limited edition of just 250 units and a price tag of $72,190 (the price includes the $1,895 destination charge).
Mopar builds its special Gladiator on the Rubicon trim. It features a black exterior with topographical Rubicon trail graphics on the hood, bed sides and tailgates, which are outlined in red and feature the Jeep Performance Parts logo.
In addition to the graphics package, the Gladiator also comes with the three-piece body-color hardtop, triple tonneau cover, a spray-on bedliner, front and rear grab handles and a special Mopar badge on the tailgate.
Falken all-terrain tires surround 17-inch aluminum wheels with painted black inserts; However, not all upgrades are cosmetic. The truck also features Mopar’s heavy-duty rock rails and triple grille protection. The brand’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine powers the limited-edition Gladiator, making 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.
The cabin features two-tone Katzkin leather black and Maraschino red seats, while the front buckets feature the Mopar logo. Red contrast stitching adorns the steering wheel, seats and instrument panel, while a red armrest sits in the center console. The truck is equipped with a black Mopar headliner and black sill molding. Just behind the gear lever is a special decal noting the truck’s limited production run.
This marks the 14th year that Mopar has produced limited edition vehicles that highlight the brand’s aftermarket upgrades for Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler vehicles. Other goodies from Mopar for the Gladiator include a 2-inch lift with Bilstein shocks, beadlock wheels, door sets and more.
