Some brands will offer you options such as wheels and additional safety systems, a sound system upgrade or a sunroof. But when it comes to the Jeep Gladiator, there is almost no limit to the number of optional extras you can choose and they all make a statement. Here are our top 5 extras that you should consider, especially if you're thinking of hitting the trails.
The Jeep brand is well-known for its lifestyle. Much like Harley-Davidson, when you buy a Jeep you’re not only buying a vehicle, a means of transportation, but you’re buying into a way of life, a sub-culture that represents an aspect of your personality. Buying a Jeep is an expression of self. Enhancing that expression and portraying it in an outward manner is one of the simplest things to do in a Jeep. Unsure of the Jeep Gladiator is right for you? Here are the top 3 things you need to know about the Jeep Gladiator.
The Jeep Gladiator, like the Wrangler, offers a wealth of optional extras and accessories at the point of order to help you drive off of the showroom floor with something that is a true reflection of your personality. You’re able to choose whether you want a pukka pavement climber or a hard-core off-road machine, with a look and style to match.
Jeep offers an extensive list of extras that you can specify but we’ve chosen 5 that we think you should certainly consider if you’re in the market for a new Jeep Gladiator.
1. Big Tyres
The dealership will be able to help you out with a set of larger, beefier lyres to assist with your offload adventures and help make your Gladiator look more purposeful. The tyre sizes range from 265-wide all the way up to 315-wide and you’ll be able to choose a set that fits your desired purpose and intended use.
2. Lift Kits
Factory-approved lift kits are available and are ideally suited to those who chose an extreme option for their tyres. These lift kits range from as subtle as 1.5 inches (± 40 mm) all the way to 3.5 inches (± 90 mm) and will help accommodate larger wheels and tyres.
3. 4-ton Winch
The Jeep Gladiator is Trail Rated which means that Jeep themselves approve of the technical off-road ability of the Gladiator and that it is designed to be excellent off-road. If you’re into the serious stuff, you may be considering a Gladiator and in which case you will know that a winch is a critical piece of equipment; whether it’s used to help your Gladiator out of a tight spot or to assist a fellow stricken off-roader.
4. Long-Range Tank
The Jeep Gladiator already has a sizable fuel tank, measuring in at a sizable 83-litres. While this is all good and well, you can never have enough, especially if you’re planning an overlapping trip in a remote area. Jeep can offer a long-range tank for your Gladiator with options up to 140-litres.
5. Rear Rack
As versatile and convenient as the Gladiator design is, someone will always need that little bit extra. If you have a particular set of requirements that see you needing to transport accessories, camping gear or adventure equipment, the additional rear rack will further expand your packing and transportation options. Available with or without Jerry cans.
