2022 GLADIATOR GETS NEW ACCESSORIES

JEEP Australia is offering a new range of accessories for its Gladiator ute. The haul, which includes a soft tonneau cover, sports bar set-up and fully-electric Rolltrac unit, is now available through Jeep dealerships across Australia.

Chosen on its own, the soft tonneau cover will set buyers back $935, while combining it with the sports bar bumps that figure up to $2424. The electric Rolltrac tonneau cover, however, costs $4617 when bought individually, and $5351 when teamed up with the sports bar.

“This is a great opportunity for our customers to simply and easily accessorise our hugely capable Gladiator ute with these practical personalisation options – at any one of our Jeep dealerships,” said Stephen Lester, director of aftersales and customer experience at Stellantis Australia.

“Now even more owners in the thriving Jeep community can fully embrace the ‘Live like a Gladiator’ mantra and put their own mark on their vehicle.”

The soft tonneau cover offers adjustable tension and a bungee system for transporting bulky or over-sized loads. It’s also said to be simple and quick to remove, fold, roll and stow when access to the full cargo box is needed.

It can be had by itself or fitted in combination with a sports bar finished in matte black, and can also be used to add other accessories such as light bars or antennas.

Topping off the range, the electric Gladiator Rolltrac cover can be opened, closed or paused at the push of a button from either side of the rear corners of the cargo box, and has an anti-pinch/jam function built in.

There’s also a separate lockable storage box at the front of the Rolltrac unit to keep valuables safe when travelling, and it allows quick and easy access for items like recovery kit when it’s time to hit the dirt.
