2023 Jeep® Gladiator Rubicon FarOut: Exclusive Limited-edition Gladiator Marks Final EcoDiesel Production

Rhea-AI Summary

Jeep introduces the limited-edition Gladiator Rubicon FarOut, marking the end of Gladiator EcoDiesel production. The special edition features the best-in-class 442 lb.-ft. of torque, fuel economy, and range, along with exclusive design elements. Production is limited to 1,000 vehicles for the 2023 model year. The FarOut edition is available for ordering with deliveries starting in the third quarter of 2023.

Positive

• The limited-edition Gladiator Rubicon FarOut offers best-in-class torque, fuel economy, and range, making it an attractive option for off-road enthusiasts. The exclusive design elements and commemorative badges add to its appeal. Limited production of only 1,000 vehicles for the 2023 model year could create scarcity and drive up demand, potentially increasing the stock price of Jeep parent company Stellantis.

Negative

• The end of Gladiator EcoDiesel production with the introduction of the limited-edition FarOut could lead to a decrease in sales and revenue for the Jeep brand. The high price tag of $69,995 for the FarOut edition may limit its market appeal and impact sales negatively, which could have a negative effect on the stock price of Stellantis.
