2021 Jeep Gladiator

Jeep offers the 2021 Gladiator in nine trims: the Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Willys, Overland, 80th Anniversary, Rubicon, Mojave, and High Altitude. Each sports Jeep's iconic look but with a 5-foot truck bed. Even the base trim comes with plenty of standard features, including a black soft top, black fender flares, 17-inch steel wheels with all-season tires, tow hooks, bed tie-down cleats, and a Class II tow hitch receiver. Move up the trims for fender flares, mud-terrain tires, heated side mirrors, side steps, LED lighting, rock rails, hood vents, a hardtop, trim-specific badging, and up to 20-inch wheels.

All trims come with a fold-down windshield and removable doors to provide an open-air experience. The bed's side rails are low enough to make loading and unloading gear easy, and you can fix the tailgate in an open, closed, or halfway position.

Choose between two engine options on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator: a 3.6-liter gas-powered V-6 that gets 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque or a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 that produces 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Both come with four-wheel drive and a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, though you can opt for a six-speed manual on the gas V-6. Both engines provide the Gladiator with plenty of oomph when accelerating or towing.

The Jeep Gladiator is known for its off-road performance and handling above all else. A solid-axle suspension, skid plates, and a two-speed transfer case with low-range gearing allow it to easily clamber over rocks and ruts. Choose the Rubicon trim if you're looking for a Jeep pickup that's made for the trails. It comes with Fox off-road shock absorbers, an electronic sway bar disconnect, locking front and rear axles, and 33-inch all-terrain tires.

The Gladiator is also capable of towing up to 7,650 pounds with the gas V-6 engine and one of Jeep's towing packages. It can carry a payload of up to 1,700 pounds.

The Jeep Gladiator has four doors and supportive, comfortable seating for five. Front, side, and rear visibility is exceptional, and passengers will enjoy ample headroom and legroom no matter where they're sitting. While the pickup comes standard with cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats, you can upgrade to more luxurious features such as leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and heated front seats.

The Gladiator's standard display is an easy-to-use 5-inch touch screen with big, clear graphics. Seven- and 8.4-inch touch screens are available and come with Jeep's Uconnect infotainment system. This program features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, navigation, HD Radio, USB ports, and a nine-speaker sound system.

Stay safe on the pavement and off with Jeep's long list of standard and available safety and driver-assist features. These include a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, a forward-facing camera, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.
