A Weekend Trip to the National Forest

Spanning over 50,000 acres, the Uwharrie National Forest is the ultimate destination for those seeking some new outdoor adventures. Whether you want to go camping with the kids or you and your friends want to spend some time fishing or hunting, this place offers a range of outdoor activities.

The Jeep Gladiator is ready to help you explore all the best spots within Uwharrie! First, bring your camper over to the campsite, thanks to its ability to tow up to 7,700 pounds.

The 2023 Gladiator even has a ground clearance of up to 11.6 inches, is ready to enhance traction with its 4×4 capabilities, has available 33-inch tires built to handle the trails, and provides great maneuverability along uneven terrain. With it, you can enjoy the thrill of driving within the Badin Lake OHV Trail Complex and explore parts of the forest other vehicles can’t reach!

Daily Commuting Around the City

While being a powerful, all-terrain pickup truck, the Jeep Gladiator is also just as suitable for the driving you do on a day-to-day basis. Whether you have night classes at the university, travel into the city for work, or like spending fall Saturdays watching college football games, the Gladiator can provide you with the driving experience you want.

That has a lot to do with the technology it offers. Driver-assistive features work to help you safely get around the busy areas or through traffic on the highway. If the car in front of you suddenly hits their brakes, the available Forward Collision Warning system will alert you and even can apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.

Then, when you reach your destination, the available ParkSense® Rear Park Assist system will help you parallel park your truck. With sensors in the rear bumper, it will let you know when you start to get too close to another car or the curb as you back into the space.

Then, there is the Uconnect® 4 system. This infotainment system lets you use your phone’s apps as you drive by simply plugging it in to the USB port. You can bring up directions, stream music from your favorite bands, and safely answer calls along the way.

Helping You Complete Those Home Improvements

Whether you are gearing up for some spring landscaping or you are ready to do that bathroom remodel you’ve been looking to get done, the Gladiator is ready to help you get to work. This truck also serves as a tool for the DIYers, and that begins with the design and layout of its bed.

Firstly, there is 35.5 cubic feet of cargo volume in the durable, all-steel bed. That will allow you to load in longer items like lumber and make just one trip to the store for supplies. The 2023 Gladiator also has a payload capacity of 1,710 pounds, so you can load in stone, mulch, or larger tools that you need.

Keep everything you load in the bed of your Gladiator secured with tie-down loops. There is even a weatherproof power outlet that is available in the truck bed, which you can use to plug in power tools when cutting wood right out of the back of your Jeep Gladiator.
