The first Jeep Gladiator models have
started to arrive on the shores of Australia and to celebrate the truck’s
arrival, a special Launch Edition model has been announced. Just 100 examples
of the Jeep Gladiator Launch Edition will be built, each based on a Gladiator
Rubicon fully-loaded with all the options and complete with limited-edition
badging and various special design accents.
Customers will be able to pick up a
Gladiator Launch Edition in one of three available colors; Diamond Black,
Bright White, and Firecracker Red, with body color fenders and a body color
hardtop. All examples sit on 17-inch Mid Gloss Black aluminum wheels as
standard and feature an aluminum Launch Edition badge on the tailgate. The truck
also comes standard with a steel front bumper, black leather trim seats, heated
seats, and a heated steering wheel, features that are usually optional on the
Gladiator Rubicon.
Jeep Australia has also fitted the truck
with the Lifestyle Adventure Pack as standard that includes the Cargo
Management Group with Trail Rail System, lockable rear underseat storage bin,
roll-up Tonneau cover, spray-in bedliner, auxiliary switch bank, 240-amp
alternator, 700-amp maintenance-free battery, and a wireless Bluetooth speaker.
Prices for the Jeep Gladiator Launch
Edition start at AU$ 86,450 (US$ 57,067).
