Jeep® Australia Gives Jeep Diehards Launch Edition Gladiator Rubicon:
Only 100 Examples Will Be Made...
The Jeep® brand is getting ready for the official launch of its new midsize Gladiator pickup for “the land down under”. Just like its launch in the United States marketplace, Jeep® Australia is launching its new right-hand-drive Gladiator pickup with its own “Launch Edition” to celebrate the new midsize truck’s debut.
Based on the Jeep® Gladiator Rubicon, the Australian Launch Edition model will have exclusive content. The Australian Gladiator Launch Edition will be available in three colors, Firecracker Red, Diamond Black, and Bright White. All Launch Edition models will come standard with the following equipment…
- Exclusive Tailgate Badge
- Exclusive Leather-Wrapped Instrument Panel with Rubicon Red Stitching
- Exclusive 17-Inch Gloss Black Aluminum Wheels
- Rubicon Steel Front Bumper
- Body-Colored Fender Flares
- Body-Colored 3-Piece Hard Top
- Black Leather Trim Seats
- Heated Front Seats & Steering Wheel
- Cargo Management Group with Trail Rail System
- Lockable Rear Underseat Storage Bin
- Roll-Up Tonneau Cover
- Spray-In Bedliner
- Auxiliary Switch Bank (4 Programmable Switches)
- 240-Amp Alternator
- 700-Amp Maintenance-Free Battery
- Wireless Speaker – Bluetooth®
“Australia is the first right-hand-drive market to receive the Gladiator, which is a one of a kind lifestyle truck offering an open-air experience,” said director of brand & product strategy at FCA Australia, Guillaume Drelon. “For the first time in Australia, adventurers can experience the heritage and dependability of a Jeep truck. The first Jeep truck, the Willy Overland, was built in 1947, but the Jeep trucks were never made available in Australia, until now with this special Launch Edition Gladiator.”
Only 100 examples of the Launch Edition will be built for the Australian market and they won’t be cheap. The 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Launch Edition will set Australians back AU$86,450 (or $57,067 USD). You might remember that MoparInsiders.com caught the right-hand-drive Gladiator Sport model in October of last year, as well as a right-hand-drive Gladiator Rubicon in Metro Detroit back in November of last year. Aussies can expect Gladiators to start arriving in June.
