Jeep wants to make one thing very clear: the new diesel-powered Gladiator pickup can go a long way.
To drive the point home, it has created the aptly named Gladiator Farout Concept, a custom truck designed for long-distance adventure.
Built as a showcase for the annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari off-road event in Utah, which was canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Farout is equipped as a redundant truck with a four-person roof-mounted tent.
It also has a covered cargo box, equipped with a refrigerator and stove, a two-inch lift, 37-inch mud-terrain tires and a steel front bumper with a 12,000-pound Warn winch.

The truck is powered by the 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine currently offered in the Jeep Wrangler SUV that will be available in the Gladiator this fall.
According to Jeep, it will have an EPA highway rating of 28 mpg, which is 20 percent better than the available Gladiator petrol engines. Combined with a 22-gallon tank, that means it can cover more than 600 miles – at least until the sidewalk ends.
Urban and forest fuel economies have not been released.
