About the Jeep Gladiator

The idea behind the Jeep Gladiator is simple. It offers the off-road capabilities of the iconic Wrangler but in pickup form. While the styling might look like it’s just a Wrangler with a pickup box stuck on the back, the Gladiator comes with a wheelbase that’s 19.4 inches longer than the Wrangler, different powertrain options, and a much higher towing capacity. This is the vehicle for when you have a lot of cargo that has to go off-road with you. That’s because the Gladiator is just as much a serious pickup as it is a serious off-roader, with a max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, a max payload capacity of 1,725 pounds, and the fact that the Gladiator can do this while also being one of the best off-road vehicles on the market is the very definition of versatility.

What the Critics Say

“Along with its five-foot cargo bed, the Gladiator is filled with ingenious interior storage options. Its cabin has a handful of spots to stick a smartphone and a handy compartment hidden under the back seat. The seats themselves can be stowed in multiple ways and then securely locked in place for when the trail turns treacherous.” — Car & Driver “The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon is very easy to like. This burly off-road machine does almost anything the Jeep Wrangler can do, but it's also a practical pickup with a useful bed design and healthy payload and tow ratings. Inside, the cabin is nicely trimmed and easy to live with. It offers a more spacious back seat than any of its closest rivals too. And don't forget: It's the only convertible pickup.” — Edmunds

What’s New For 2025

There are a number of noteworthy updates and revisions to the Jeep Gladiator for the 2025 model year. The previously standard 6-speed manual transmission has been discontinued, leaving the 8-speed automatic as the standard unit for 2025. Choosing a Gladiator Sport now means that you’ll receive both power door locks and power windows as standard equipment. Two new color options for the 2025 Gladiator include ‘41 (olive green) and Fathom Blue. Last but not least, select models are available with a new Active Cabin Ventilation feature that lets you precondition the interior exactly to your liking using your compatible smartphone. 

Jeep Gladiator Features

Serious Off-Road Capability

The Gladiator is the world’s first Trail Rated® pickup, a new kind of vehicle for Jeep but one that is imbued with everything that makes Jeep vehicles so great. You get the superb Rock-Trac® 4×4 System that carried the Wrangler to icon status along with a maximum fording depth of 31.5 inches. It is offered with a ground clearance of up to 11.1 inches, making it easy to clear obstacles and the high level of articulation keeps all four wheels planted even when on even ground. The available front and rear Tru-Lok® Electronic Locking Differentials help to make sure the power goes to where it’s needed on rough terrain while steel rock rails protect the underside of your Gladiator, both the body and the bed. On top of all of this, the Gladiator Mojave is the only Desert Rated Jeep vehicle, specially tuned for the heat and low-traction challenges unique to this sort of harsh environment.

Functional Versatility

For both pickup trucks and off-road vehicles, one of the keys to greatness is versatility and a long list of configuration options. Even the best off-road pickups from the competition don’t offer things like dedicated trims for rocky terrain or for the desert. However, the Rubicon and Mojave trims for Gladiator show just how well Jeep lets you dial in the exact vehicle that you need. This combination of off-road SUV and pickup means that it’s capable of things that those vehicles that fit into only one of those categories cannot. It’s the only convertible pickup truck on the market and the only one with factory removable doors. It offers exceptionally good rear legroom for its class (better rear legroom than the Wrangler as well) and the whole cabin is full of useful storage options. While it’s certainly possible to buy another pickup truck and put offroad equipment on it, the Jeep Gladiator is the only pickup designed from the ground up specifically for off-roading.

Advanced Technology

Much of the greatness packed into the Jeep Gladiator is pretty straightforward. Heavy-duty suspension, big off-road tires, and four driven wheels aren’t exactly revolutionary off-road technology. But what puts the Gladiator over the top is that Jeep built on this with technology that really is at the forefront. That means you have options like a forward-facing TrailCam, which displays what is right in front of your wheels on the Uconnect® touchscreen, making it easier to negotiate obstacles. Selec-Speed® Control holds the Gladiator at a consistent speed under especially difficult off-road situations, something that is extremely difficult for even the most experienced human drivers to accomplish. Lastly, the Gladiator also comes with an 8-speaker stereo, more than the other pickups in this segment, and there is an available 552-watt Alpine® Premium Audio System with 9 speakers and a 12-channel amplifier.
