It hosts unique accessories to further elevate the vehicle’s distinctive design, impeccable traction and clearance, and class-leading ride control.
From the outside, the exclusive Gladiator Rubicon Launch Edition is enhanced with the UAE flag colours, a unique hood Decal-Sand Runner, front seats with increased bolsters and scoop performance hood.
