The Jeep Gladiator Launch Edition Goes On Sale For One Day Only

In honor of National 4x4 Day (April 4th, 4/4...get it?) Jeep is doing an exclusive one-day preorder event for the all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator Launch Edition. As the first pickup truck for the automaker in nearly 30 years, the Gladiator is being met with much anticipation from off-roaders and Jeep aficionados everywhere. Now, the most die-hard Jeep fans will get a chance to prove their devotion by being one of only 4,190 individuals to get their hands on the Launch Edition by ordering one today. 

The Wrangler based 2020 Jeep Gladiator, which has a starting MSRP of $35,040, isn't available in dealerships quite yet. Luckily, the Jeep enthusiasts that really can't wait and have a generous $62,815 to spend on the fully loaded Gladiator Launch Edition, can pre-order one starting at 12:01 AM on April 4th, 2019. Why was 4,190 chosen as the magic number for how many launch edition trucks Jeep will build? It's a salute (or should we say "Jeep wave") to the automaker's hometown of Toledo, Ohio where both the Wrangler and now the Gladiator are built. 419 happens to be the area code of Toledo.

Find Your Freedom Contest

In addition to scoring the ultimate off-road truck, one lucky Jeep Gladiator Launch Edition buyer will drive away six figures richer. Anyone that pre-orders the Launch Edition will be eligible to enter Jeep's "Find Your Freedom"  contest for a shot to win a year's salary of $100,000. Jeep wants the winner to use to prize money "responsibly". This means taking a year off work to truly experience the truck on some crazy off-road adventures. Entry requires a video submission from new Gladiator owners that will be judged by the Jeep team along with wounded warrior and U.S. Army veteran Noah Galloway, who will choose the winner. Hey, 1/4,190 odds ain't bad.
