The Jeep brand of Auburn Hills-based Stellantis’ is marking the end of Gladiator EcoDiesel production with the limited-edition Gladiator Rubicon FarOut.
Originally introduced for the 2021 model year, the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon EcoDiesel offered customers 442 lb.-ft. of torque provided by the brand’s TorqueFlite 8HP75 eight-speed automatic transmission and more than 500 miles of driving range.
“As the Jeep brand continues its drive to electrification, we are phasing out EcoDiesel technology with the final, limited-edition Gladiator Rubicon FarOut,” says Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “Limited to 1,000 vehicles for the 2023 model year, the special-edition Gladiator Rubicon FarOut further builds on the industry’s only open-air pickup truck infused with Trail Rated capability and best-in-class truck utility.”
