The Jeep Gladiator is an incredibly versatile vehicle ready to tackle all manner of your favorite activities. Off-road exploration, overlanding escapes, light-duty work at the jobsite and so much more. If you’re a weekend warrior who enjoys the many different aspects of outdoor life, you should consider a Jeep Gladiator for yourself. For those of you who are already the proud owner of a Jeep Gladiator, what’s your favorite activity?
If you said camping, you’re in luck, because that’s what we’re covering today. To showcase just how versatile this incredible truck is, we’ve decided to highlight some of the best camping accessories available to use with the truck. We obviously recommend checking official Jeep accessories first and foremost, but you can find third-party, aftermarket varieties for many of these accessories as well.
Trail Rail Cargo Management System
This is a must-have feature for frequent campers, as it gives you unbelievable organizational capabilities in your truck bed. It features adjustable tie-downs, compatibility with Mopar storage bins and so much more. It will help you keep your camping essentials secure and right where you need them!
Rooftop Tent
Why worry about finding room to put down your tent and park your truck, when they could be one in the same? With a rooftop tent, you can turn your Gladiator into a literal mobile home. They typically mount directly onto your bed and/or roof racks, unfolding in minutes and including a foam mattress, weatherproof shell and ladder.
Bed-Mounted Cross Rails & Cargo Basket
If you don’t want to opt for the aforementioned cargo system, you could consider adding bed-mounted cross rails and a cargo basket. This will give you even more room for extra storage, elevated above your bed so you can still fill it with whatever you need.
All-Weather Floor Mats & Cargo Liners
These aren’t necessarily a camping accessory, but they’re a great accessory to have if you’re camping in dirty areas — which is pretty inherent to camping. Having all-weather floor mats and cargo liners can help protect the interior of your vehicle from the elements often associated with camping.
Off-Road LED Light Kit
Most custom off-road builds include LED lighting kits of all shapes, sizes and placements. It’s not a bad idea to add these to your Gladiator even if you don’t partake in the usual off-road activities. Having some guaranteed extra light while you’re out there in the wilderness is never a bad thing!
Bed Rack System
A bed rack system takes many of the things we’ve already mentioned up to the next level. They make it easier to mount rooftop tents, give you extra space to store water tanks or recovery gear and so much more. Some systems even offer adjustable heights or accessory mounts for loads of extra customization options.
Portable Fridge/Freezer
The Jeep Gladiator features a 12-volt outlet, which means you can say goodbye to soggy coolers and keep your food and drink cold the whole time you’re camping. You can pair it with a dual battery setup or bring a portable power station with you if you’re worried about draining your truck’s battery.
Tailgate Table
Your truck’s tailgate is such an underutilized piece of your vehicle, but with a tailgate table you can turn it into a prep station for your cooking, a table for enjoying a roadside meal or an organizational tool for getting your gear and equipment in order.
Awning Systems
Our last suggestion is to get an awning system! If you don’t want a full rooftop tent, an awning is a great halfway point that provides shelter from the sun or rain if and when you need it.
