The Jeep Farout is the off-grid adventure car we need

We love the Jeep Gladiator. Much. But will we like it that much with a diesel engine up front? And an EcoDiesel too?

To help ease the transition from an all-American pickup to a fully European powerhouse, Jeep has known how to appeal to our immature little minds – a wildly adventurous concept car with all the bells and each and every whistle.

The Wayout, the star of Jeep’s annual Easter Safari at the time, however sadly 2020 has been canceled, we don’t want to say why, and we are shown concepts that we could have had in a broader way. remote, less convenient.

Which is a shame, because we’d love to get our hands on it. There’s that new 260-horsepower, 442-lb-ft V6 diesel engine in the front and a 16-to-7. 5-foot drop-down rooftop tent in the rear, allowing for sleeping for four. In the middle you have a set of 37-inch off-road tires on the south end of some Fox shocks, while the interior has been completely overhauled, especially in the segment where you will locate the Gladiator box.

“The cool, monochromatic look and feel of a classic land vehicle are gone,” they tell us, the Farout’s rear trim features a resplanishent wood-clad cabin with ambient lighting, a refrigerator and stove, as well as hanging garage shelves. , table and chairs to eat. A cell home to escape the crowds? We have never been there that long.
