I've found that I really like camping/overlanding at 69 years of age; however, my wife is adamant about not being inside a tent or an RTT, so what is a poor Pinay Lola to do?. I'll just leave her at home and go camping with the grandkids ..lol, lol
Overlanding is not "camping". Overlanding is about building an extremely reliable vehicle to travel, explore, and discover new adventures in some of the most remote places on earth. You can go "camping" with any vehicle, but you cannot overland in any vehicle.
lightning warfare69 couldn’t agree more! It’s one thing to be able to perform but if you’re broken down all that bling is worthless. Quality and overlanding go hand in hand. They won’t get anywhere unless reliability is addressed. It is a sweet truck though with a lot of great ideas.
That’s funny. I actually am waiting for the ‘20 Taco TRD Pro, but that being said. I have owned a new 2006 Toyota Tacoma a new ‘08 Ulimited Rubicon. I had the steering rack replaced under warranty after a leak was discovered during a regular maintenance/oil visit. Meanwhile, with the Tacoma I had the trucks frame repaired/sprayed by Toyota because of severe rust. And even it being a common issue with those trucks at that time, I literally had to fight with the dealership for them to acknowledge the problem.
@@mike1158d I don't think the color's on the website yet...it's called Gator Green....? (edit) Wait, found "Gator Clear-Coat" on the build&price configurator. If that's it, you're right. It looks nothing like it.
Why pay 60k for a truck when you get one that 37k and do the same things. They’re just cementing the fact that Tacoma will continue rule the mid size truck market thanks a lot jeep.
Sorry this is what you would buy. Because they will not go to this extreme for anyone. The irony is, this is exactly what the Jeep enthusiasts want. Something to compete with the 4Runner world that can pack heavy inside. Until now, only trucks and 4Runners could enjoy this level of crap to take with them for overloading I mean over landing. ;)
This is by far my favorite Gladiator design. Reminds me of how I would set up one of those amazing Land Cruisers I see on my DoD paid vacations. I'm onboard, just waiting to see the diesel variant.
WOW! That "way out" concept is a campers dream! Jeep Engineers and Designers got together and came out with a Beautifully designed and Engineered Vehicle! I would buy one like that in a MICROSECOND!
I like the quote the roof top tent keeps you up out of the food chain. Might work against crocs and snakes, but here in America a black bear can climb ladders and a brown grizzly or polar bear would just stand on its hind legs and you would be like on the top shelf of the grocery store.or it would just push the whole car over
The 285/85r16 and 285/80r17 tire sizes would an excellent choice if those sizes were made in a all-terrian and mud-terrian (Tacoma has a 16×7.5 plus many other vehicles(has the most sidewall) and a 17x7.5 for the Wrangler, Ranger Raptor, Power Wagon, etc.)
an JL can't use a 16" wheel the break rotors hit the wheels or it might be the 15" i just know for a JL you want 17s or 18s. since the JT uses the JLs breaks.
" It's no longer camping it's overlanding " ..Too funny and so true. I always knew it as truck camping, and it's been going on in America since the truck. The term "Overlanding" in the states has taken over and swallowed up every outdoor activity involving a truck now. The positive is all the great (and most the time unnecessary and expensive) gear that has come from this trend. I'm about sick of "overlanding" this, and "overlander" that.
I saw a brand new Rubicon being hauled away on a flatbed trailer two days ago. The owner said it's the second time this happened with under 3,000 miles
@Captain Caveman I had a Ram 1500 that was damn reliable until someone totaled it. I wish I had the confident peace of mind to buy a Jeep because I want one
@guy proulx so you know the guy that made the original comment?? Because toyota fans are the biggest liars, for them everything breaks except a toyota.
You know what else is amazing? Compressors have been built into a lot of SUV's for a long long time. lol And what is really cool, is they have been built to be INSIDE the vehicle out of the elements that clog up switches, gauges and of course the outlet. ;)
This thing is so cool. But since it’s not available, you can basically make this pretty easily. Buy a Rubicon, put a GoFast Camper on the back. I actually prefer the GoFast bc it is a closed cap unit that locks- as a mountain biker being able to store and lock my bike in the bed is huge. Everything else can also be done- lift kit, snorkel, winch, tires, etc. Things that you can’t do are: 1. Get those sweet looking leather seats- they need to offer them as an upgrade bc I know I would def upgrade to them, 2. The built in gas tanks- bc they modified the body panels (although it would be cool if they offered them there are plenty of other places to bolt them onto), 3. the step on the fender- they should offer this as an upgrade bc for anyone putting any type of cap on the bed it will make getting stuff on and off the top so much easier, 4. I Don’t think the pull out bar, but probably won’t be long til the aftermarket crew designs one. I’ve already been coming up with the design of mine!!!!! Glad they’ll be offering this color, but wtf is expedition yellow and good ol fashion olive drab? Come on jeep.
If they made some kind of package that was even remotely close to that I would for sure be ordering one. I get most of that is a concept but I like the colors and Topo maps, so on and so forth.
Yes, that seat map is really helpful. NOT. 1 location or change the seat covering every where you go and then ask the passenger to get out every time you need to see where you are at and going. OR one could just look at their nav. screens. ;) In case you missed it, you can get that color in the future they ARE going to offer it.
The Gator green is ok, tent is a great option, green light for the winch and tires combo thre rear slid out storage has been done on pick up for a while but the Margaritas while camping what classic...lol the price tag is going to keep this rig at ur local dealership.
About 2/3 of the bed is positioned behind the rear axle so not a great candidate to carry a truck camper sadly. I hope a long bed is on the way...for those of us who don't just use their truck to go berry picking.
If you dont need a full on camper check out GoFast Camper- fully enclosed and lockable cap for bed with a pop up tent. Very lightweight so can still put fridge, air comp etc in bed.
@@dadventuretv2538 Great concept and very light to boot but my old bones need more comfort like found in a 4wheel or All terrain camper. The J 6 would look perfect under it though...
Not even the FCA marketing department believes this is as reliable as a Tacoma. Alfa romeo owner, here. A car doesn't need to be the most reliable thing in the world if it makes you smile. But an overlanding veichle? Your life depends on its reliability. And I'd never put my life on anything that's not Japanese and has proven its dependability.
Guys 10 years ago there was a mid size, v8 powered, F/R e-locker truck. Highly capable. Yet, ahead of its time. I think. The Hummer H3T. Please, do a video of the H3T and the new mid size trucks. Old vs new tech!
The Tacoma 4Runner land cruiser you can count on it to start and keep running when your in middle of nowhere with just your vehicle and the outside elements. I can’t put that trust in a Jeep from my past experiences and TFL’s recent video of their brand new wrangler with just 2500 miles and broken down and stopped on top of a mountain on the highest road in America also supports my point. No way a new car vehicle with just 2500 miles has to be serviced to the dealership with numerous things that was wrong with it.
Overlanding = backcountry vehicle driving, like backpacking except with a vehicle and forest roads instead of backpack and hiking trails. Camping is a part of it if you want it to be. Camping = driving to a campground and camp spot and then staying overnight. No backcountry road trip involved.
Not worth a shit if they havent upgraded the TIPM on these! My Rubicon unlimited is in the shop again for this reason! And I havent had it in any deep water or anything. Been told it's a bad problem with jeeps. And definitely not a cheap problem either!!!
What a fun review. Next time you have a face to face with Mark Allan, we would love to hear him comment directly about the disappearance of the trailer brake controller on the FCA website.
"Tacoma Beware!"? Lol that's a pretty nice rig but I'll rather take a Tacoma, tough and long lasting. More reliability and less expensive. But if your happy with a Chrysler product then go for it, won't bash you for it.
So can you add an aftermarket fuel tank?, if you are going Overlanding, you need range, petrol engines are thirsty esp weighed down and at low speed. a 22-gallon fuel tank (if it gets 13 mpg) gives you a range of 286 miles. So some 143 miles out,with zero room for error, even adding a couple of jerry cans ain't going to extent your range greatly. Guess it depends on how and where you use your vehicle.
It’s because Utah has prohibition laws that prohibit you from bringing your REAL alcohol into the state. They want you to buy their 4to1 watered down crap.
sorry but this cant compete with a tacoma... price or otherwise.. the engine is annemic at best.. and the aftermarket for them is not there yet.. this is all a marketing ploy for jeep. getting into the "overlanding" market.. sorry to say the gladiator is not the answer.. in reality the colorado ZR2 diesel is closer than the gladiator, or the USDM tacoma/hilux. really wish that toyota would bring the 70 series to the US market... sure the interiors are older, and a bit dated.. but the truck itself is SOLID!!
Reliability is a key ingredient any vehicle, especially an Overland truck. That's a significant strike against all FCA products, even compared to Ford or General "Knows Best" Motors. BTW, didn't GM have an off -road brand called "Hummer" some years ago?
Nice but at that price range....never going to happen for the avg. person. Tacoma will still beat it our for price, reliability and how much cheaper it is to customize.
Kirk Daniel Carter i mean like 70 percent of jeeps will become tail gates for the first 60k miles until they get traded in and then the true off-roader/overlander will be able to afford one lol
@@deepwebintel you should make faceplate out of aluminum and mount a standard hookup through the plate. find a guage you like and mount it in there to. all you need is a grinder and some hole says/drill bits. In other words make it yourself. thats what i would do. i dont have onboard air at the moment but have made several switch panels and other various mounts because the aftermarket doesnt have exactly what i like.
I agree. The bar- for me- meh, but for some OK fine. The stickers though, smh. They make it look like a disney ride. You gotta earn stickers like that.
Come on Toyota, bring back a practical FJ competitor (4 door) to the Jeep... Glad the gladiator is back, but not a fan of FCA quality and customer support. Even neater, hybrid version... :-P
As a Tacoma owner who just wants a 79 series in the states, this in a diesel and flatbed/patriot campers setup might have to be my next trade in 🤔 UNLESS TOYOTA GIVES ME WHAT I WANT!
Oouuu I like this! Sharp looking Gladiator. Starting to realize I don’t like the stock Gladiator but with some mods (or many in this case), it looks great.
Noone’s buying base, except to modify the f outta it. There’s a pic online of a Rubi in silver with a GoFast Camper on it. Its a more reasonable daily that this one. But just as capable. If I get one for my next ride it’s prob what it will look like.
With the reliability of dodge I think toyota has nothing to worry about. I loved my Rubicon but after a lot of $$$ and time under the hood I wanted something that just worked off road I am rough on my off roaders. I love my fj tho
I’d like to have an adjustable rack up high enough for dirt bikes in the back and still have a tent or deck on top. What happens when the bear climes the ladder or just climes the front of the Jeep!
Pretty cool, I love the whole safari vibe to the exterior with the metal rims and gator color. I like the flair of the more luxurious elements also, but they kind of clash to me. I think it would be cool if the bare bone style of the exterior design was carried through all the way, dropping everything that doesn't have to be there to lower weight and cost for the overlanding vehicle. Then they could have another rig who was all flashy and luxurious all the way for glamping.
I'm not a jeep fan but this looks like a decent rig. The gas packs in the quarter panels are too cutesy and the half ladder to the tent is a little sketchy.
Hell yeah, Take My Money! Don't need all that fancy stuff but that built-in air pressure gauge and chuck is nice! Love the rack as well! All it needs is a beefier engine than the 3.6 so diesel or hemi please! Did anyone see if that's a 37" tire stuffed into the spare tire location?
@@mrvwbug4423 LMAO I made a similar comment to someone way up there ^ about having the outlets to handle such trivial things. But it is nice that Jeep is finally copying or trying to copy some of the decades old ideas that others have already been doing. :)
People want to camp without leaving any convenience of being at home. Defeats the point of getting away and unplugging IMO. Save some money and pitch a tent in the backyard
Tacoma always trumps Jeep in Quality. With that said, this set up is bad ass! Toyota could duplicate a lot of it in the bed, including the embedded water/fuel can. However they may have a hard time following up with the integrated air compressor. Imagine this set up on the 2 door Wrangler Gladiator??
Pretty cool if you have 100k. For the rest of us, an air mattress in the bed of our pickup works just fine. lol
Yes, a minimalist is just fine in what they drive out to "glamp". :)
Yeah, no one really gives a crap what you drive. But, if you've got the bucks go for it. You'll look good getting out of it at Starbucks.

Unfortunately, at the end of the day it is still a Chrysler and not a Toyota.
Michael Giles fiat which makes it unreliable
@@maverick-zj3jz Well said.
Come on TFL, you can't compare this to a Tacoma!!!. Specially when you want to depend on reliability!!!!!
Toyota is laughing somewhere in safari😂😂😂
That air compressor hookup and switch wouldnt last a week on my jeep
Do you know where I can get one like it?
@@deepwebintel amazon
@@DIGGER19860 can't find one with the hookup, all I can find is one with a gauge and a switch but not a hookup
@@deepwebintel you should make faceplate out of aluminum and mount a standard hookup through the plate. find a guage you like and mount it in there to. all you need is a grinder and some hole says/drill bits. In other words make it yourself. thats what i would do. i dont have onboard air at the moment but have made several switch panels and other various mounts because the aftermarket doesnt have exactly what i like.
@@DIGGER19860 ok thanks man
Super build, except the silly bar, and the random stickers in the cab. I wonder how long it took a designer to place those.
I agree. The bar- for me- meh, but for some OK fine. The stickers though, smh. They make it look like a disney ride. You gotta earn stickers like that.
@@dadventuretv2538 agree, they come with time.
I get that jeep had a marketing day but Jesus Christ how many more jeep videos should I prepare for this month?
Lamo. Keep those Jesus cruisers on! 😂
Agree though lol.
Wow this is actually pretty cool! The attention to details is awesome
Come on Toyota, bring back a practical FJ competitor (4 door) to the Jeep... Glad the gladiator is back, but not a fan of FCA quality and customer support. Even neater, hybrid version... :-P
Hybrid version? Are you nuts?
It's called a 76 or 79 series landcruiser.
Hopefully Toyota was taking notes on this. All these concept mods would be great on something like a 4Runner or a new smaller 4x4.
@@Ratchetanium what Toyota needs to do is make a better engine and upgrade the interior of their 4 runners and tacos.

Diesel. I Have No Idea Why The US Can’t Get The Diesel Option That You Can Get Overseas.
I want the j6 but with the overland stuff thats on the way out!
That’s what I’ve been saying
As a Tacoma owner who just wants a 79 series in the states, this in a diesel and flatbed/patriot campers setup might have to be my next trade in 🤔 UNLESS TOYOTA GIVES ME WHAT I WANT!
One of my favor concepts really nice understate look but super functional and it doesn't hurt pocking fun at the going camping with glamor part
That is a dream rig right there. Shame that in the U.K. even the base model will probably be very high :(
Oouuu I like this! Sharp looking Gladiator. Starting to realize I don’t like the stock Gladiator but with some mods (or many in this case), it looks great.
When I saw the bone stock base Gladiator, I immediately thought of fleet Corollas. They're just that plain.
Noone’s buying base, except to modify the f outta it. There’s a pic online of a Rubi in silver with a GoFast Camper on it. Its a more reasonable daily that this one. But just as capable. If I get one for my next ride it’s prob what it will look like.
I'd be curious to know how close it is to its payload max as it sits.
With or with out the blender? :)
With the reliability of dodge I think toyota has nothing to worry about. I loved my Rubicon but after a lot of $$$ and time under the hood I wanted something that just worked off road I am rough on my off roaders. I love my fj tho
This is by far my favorite concept this year!
Never been a Jeep fan but this truck is awesome! Love the tent on top but the bar has to go, beers are better for camping trips.
that rig is awesome. the rims make it look bad ass and the air powered blender seals the deal
I’d like to have an adjustable rack up high enough for dirt bikes in the back and still have a tent or deck on top. What happens when the bear climes the ladder or just climes the front of the Jeep!
Good chance we'll be purchasing ours summer of next year. We're looking at Gobi.
Pretty cool, I love the whole safari vibe to the exterior with the metal rims and gator color. I like the flair of the more luxurious elements also, but they kind of clash to me. I think it would be cool if the bare bone style of the exterior design was carried through all the way, dropping everything that doesn't have to be there to lower weight and cost for the overlanding vehicle. Then they could have another rig who was all flashy and luxurious all the way for glamping.
I'm not a jeep fan but this looks like a decent rig. The gas packs in the quarter panels are too cutesy and the half ladder to the tent is a little sketchy.
I do think the gladiator will become the king of overlanding vehicles. It just needs the split tailgate like the ram.
This is the first time I've ever wanted a Jeep!
Argh, the back window is not removable! That would have been cool for cab set-ups 😕
Hell yeah, Take My Money! Don't need all that fancy stuff but that built-in air pressure gauge and chuck is nice! Love the rack as well! All it needs is a beefier engine than the 3.6 so diesel or hemi please! Did anyone see if that's a 37" tire stuffed into the spare tire location?
Also, love that color but it sure doesn't look anything like green to me.
SO FREAKING COOL!! YOU GUYS HAVE IT ROUGH I TELL YA!!
Awesome, but really the thing I am impressed with is an Air Powered Blender. Time to take the Tailgating Up a Notch.
You guys definitely do the best Easter Jeep coverage. great video.
They need to take the "way out" concept and expand the Mopar catalog with the tent, compressor, awning, bed rack, etc!
This thing is so cool 😎 🔥
But only if people could afford it. Sure would be nice to have though. Great video
Plenty of people can afford it. The issue remains.. it is only a concept. Thus you will NEVER see this in production. ;)
@@WW-wf8tu but not the masses of people for jeep to put into production. Which is a shame
Cool old school wheels on this but I think the brakes would overheat.
Gives me some ideas for my Tacoma.
mrvwbug44 be sure to post a vid of your Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville blender install 😂
Best part is, the Tacoma has a 110v outlet in the bed ;)
@@mrvwbug4423 LMAO I made a similar comment to someone way up there ^ about having the outlets to handle such trivial things. But it is nice that Jeep is finally copying or trying to copy some of the decades old ideas that others have already been doing. :)
People want to camp without leaving any convenience of being at home. Defeats the point of getting away and unplugging IMO. Save some money and pitch a tent in the backyard
There is no point. lol Getting away yes, unplugging :(
Getting away doesnt mean you have to unplug.
It's nice that we are finally catching up to the Australian overlanding aftermarket.
No one in Australia would drink margaritas in the bush that's for pussies
the idea of jerry can moulded. Smaller ideas makes bigger differences.. loved it
I would like it to be same colour as the vehicle though.
Tacoma always trumps Jeep in Quality. With that said, this set up is bad ass! Toyota could duplicate a lot of it in the bed, including the embedded water/fuel can. However they may have a hard time following up with the integrated air compressor. Imagine this set up on the 2 door Wrangler Gladiator??
