Yahoo Autos Jeep Farout Concept Makes Gladiator into an Overlander, Stove and All
Jeep has unveiled a Gladiator concept, the Gladiator Overlander "Farout," which is a truck built to go anywhere on multi-day adventures.
It comes with a rooftop tent, a functioning fridge and stove, and a seating area.
It is equipped with Jeep's 3.0-liter V-6 EcoDiesel engine and plenty of off-road-ready attributes, including 37-inch tires, a two-inch lift, and a winch rated to 12,000 pounds.
What happens when you cross the 10Best-winning Jeep Gladiator with a vehicle built for you to live out of? You get this badass Gladiator Overlander "Farout" concept, a new take on what a bug-out vehicle can be, as it is equipped with Jeep's 3.0-liter V-6 EcoDiesel engine, a rooftop tent, and a fully functional refrigerator and stove.
Surely this will make you reconsider whatever overlander plans you may have had. Jeep's EcoDiesel, which will be offered in the Gladiator for the first time on the 2021 model, churns out 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. Although there isn't yet an EPA estimate for the Gladiator's range when equipped with the diesel engine, the Wrangler with that same engine returns 538 miles of range.
The custom-built rooftop tent on the Farout concept is big enough to sleep up to four people. The interior of the vehicle has also been upgraded for multi-day adventures, featuring wood trim, the aforementioned fridge and stove, a seating area, and table space.
To make the concept more off-road capable, Jeep added 37-inch mud tires wrapped around 17-inch wheels, a 2.0-inch lift from Jeep Performance Parts, and a modified bumper equipped with a winch rated to 12,000 pounds. Custom rock rails run the front and rear of the truck, and the shocks are upgraded to Fox performance suspension.
The only other thing that we could ask for would be for this vehicle to actually be produced.
