Jeep Gladiator muscles in with more payload capacity

JEEP AUSTRALIA HAS ANNOUNCED improved payload capacity across the 2021 Jeep Gladiator range, strengthening its competitiveness and capability. The increased payload sees the Jeep Gladiator reclassified from an off-road passenger vehicle to a light goods carrying vehicle.

“After a year of being on the market in Australia, we’ve listened to our customers and have invested in improving the payload capacity of the Jeep Gladiator, elevating its capability and adventure-ready stance,” said Tom Noble, Marketing and Communications Director, Jeep Australia.

“We’re constantly looking at ways to improve customer value with our vehicles, and the Jeep Gladiator Night Eagle ensures customers can buy into the Jeep Gladiator range and gain premium equipment as a standard,” continued Mr Noble.

The Jeep Gladiator range now kicks off with a sleek and stylish Jeep Gladiator Night Eagle, featuring black accents and impressive standard safety and technology features.

The Jeep Gladiator Night Eagle sleek exterior features 17-inch black alloy aluminium wheels, a gloss black grille, body-colour fender flares, deep tint sunscreen windows and black exterior accents throughout. The 4.10 rear axle ratio is included to further improve capability and performance.

The Jeep Gladiator Night Eagle also comes standard with Jeep’s award-winning 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, Satellite Navigation and Apple Car Play and Android Auto, as well as a security alarm and remote start system. It provides a 20 percent customer advantage above the Jeep Gladiator Sport S it replaces.

The 2021 Jeep Gladiator range will be available in dealerships from June 2021, starting from $68,450 (plus on road costs).

Tough as old boots, and more payload
