2023 Jeep Gladiator

You can choose the Gladiator in Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Freedom, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, and High Altitude trims. Every model comes with a spacious four-door cab featuring unique removable doors and roof, plus a fold-down front screen for wind-in-the-hair excitement.

The versatile bed has LED lighting and a convenient three-position, damped tailgate. Among the Gladiator Sport's standard features are a soft-top roof, 17-inch wheels, fog lamps, and skid plates. Moving up the trims gets you features such as LED headlights and taillights, daytime running lights, 18- or 20-inch wheels, and a sliding rear windshield.

Powering the Gladiator is a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that develops 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. As standard, it's paired with a six-speed manual transmission, or you can opt for an eight-speed automatic. Most models offer the option of a 260-horsepower 3.0-liter V-6 turbo diesel that delivers 442 pound-feet of torque, and is exclusively mated to the automatic transmission.

Four-wheel drive is standard for the Gladiator, and it offers Jeep's legendary off-road handling capabilities. For even tougher trails, the Rubicon has more ground clearance, locking front and rear differentials, sway bar disconnect, rock rails, and FOX shocks.

The Mojave gets similar equipment, but also has a specialty transfer case for running at higher speeds in four-wheel drive across the desert and dunes. Depending on your truck's configuration, the Gladiator offers a payload of up to 1,700 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 7,650 pounds.

The Gladiator's practical and versatile cabin seats five and has plenty of storage cubbies for stowing your gear. This truck can take whatever the muddy trails throw at it, and with its removable carpets and drain holes, you can hose out the interior. Even the starter button is weatherproof, so it won't let you down on the trails.

In Sport models, you'll find a 3.5-inch cluster display, stylish cloth upholstery, and air conditioning. The infotainment system gives you voice command, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, Bluetooth, a 7-inch touchscreen display, and eight-speaker audio.

Depending on the trim, available interior features include a 7-inch reconfigurable digital instrument cluster, leather seating, heated front seats, automatic temperature control, a heated steering wheel, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, an Alpine premium sound system, and a 115-volt power outlet.

Whether you're on the highway or the trails, the Gladiator helps keep you in charge with traction control, electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, hill start assist, and trailer sway damping.

Depending on the model, available driver assistance technologies include a blind-spot monitor, cross-traffic detection, adaptive cruise control, frontal collision warning, and rear parking sensors. An available rear trailer hitch zoom camera makes it a snap to hitch up your trailer. With the optional front-facing camera, you can see and avoid potential obstacles on the trails.
