plus a combination of 7” and 5”
LED lights on the bumper bar and
A-posts respectively.
Thus the Gravity’s off-road spec
is only mildly enhanced. But being
a Rubicon in the first place, it was
built with the sort of ability that
would Uualify as extreme prep on
almost anything else. 7ince when
was there anything mild about ²
tyres, after all©#
Not that the Gravity’s notional
owner is into off-roading as his
or her primary passion. That’s
because there’s a cargo system
in the back of the truck which is
used to carry a full set of rock-
climbing gear. 0ook in it, and you’ll
find ropes, carabiners, helmets and
shoes ̄though what you might
actually be looking at is the uniUue
Mopar dual-drawer set-up which
provides a pair of lockable cargo
compartments while still allowing
for storage on top in the bed area.
The rock-climbing thing might bea bit fanciful, but if you’re looking
at the +ladiator as an expedition
truck you’ll already have pricked up
your ears over this.
*urther enhancements, again
aZailable through Mopar, include a
cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust
system to enhance the engine’s
horsepower and torUue. =ou might
reasonably consider that it already
has plenty of both, but you might
also consider, eUually reasonably,
that you can’t get too much of a
good thing.
In a similar Zein, the cabin gains
very classy looking Katzkin leather
seats featuring a stitched Jeep grille
logo, which is also seen stampedon the Mopar grab handles. Fancy
but unnecessary# =ou decide,
but there’s no arguing with the
Modular 0ightweight 0oad-carrying
EUuipment MO00E
stowage bags
and all-weather ¾oor mats in the
Zehicle, the latter featuring a plug
system which allows for direct
draining of water and debris.
So is it a heroic off-road battle
wagon you see here, or a look-
at-me street machine# =ou can
take your choice, but you don’t
really need to –because the Jeep
+ladiator +raZity is both. It’s big, it’s
cool and, albeit for a similarly big
and cool pot of cash, you’ll soon be
able to own one Nust like it.
