CAPABILITY

Jeep Gladiator

Rigorous performance testing, reinforced materials, and strength that embodies true American grit help make the Jeep Gladiator the commanding pickup truck it is. Add legendary Jeep capabilities, and the Gladiator is built to conquer roads and trails.

Built for Heavy Lifting

Every adventure starts with a quickening pulse. With the Jeep Gladiator, that pulse comes from the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine under the hood. Delivering dependable power, this engine inspires confidence with every outing. Coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission, you can expect a smooth ride with consistent performance output.

Beyond the everyday drive, the strength of the Gladiator makes it possible to tow, haul, and carry everything your adventure demands, thanks to these impressive performance specs:

  • Horsepower: 285 HP
  • Torque: 260 lb-ft
  • Max towing capacity: 7,700 lbs.
  • Max payload capacity: 1,720 lbs.

Knowing the Gladiator has the strength to deliver on any task is only half of this truck’s capabilities. The optional Safety Group adds a layer of confidence to the daily grind, thanks to features like Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection.

Adventure Without Limits

Vehicles like the Jeep Gladiator prove that true capability isn’t claimed but earned. With the legendary Jeep 4x4 capability and a reinforced steel frame, this truck is built to take you off the beaten path. Select trims have earned Trail Rated® and Desert Rated® badges, proving that the Gladiator doesn’t survive harsh trails, rocky inclines, and extreme conditions—it thrives in them.

Venture without hesitation with underbody skid plates and optional Mopar® accessories, including:

  • Snorkel Kit
  • Cold Air Intake System
  • Door Sill Guards
  • Windshield Tie-Downs
  • And more

These accessories let you tailor your Gladiator to match your specific level of adventure, ensuring it can ford streams, climb trails, and power through the mud just the way you like.

UTILITY

Jeep Gladiator

Adventure demands versatility. From open-air freedom to a cargo bed that adapts to every mission, the Jeep Gladiator is engineered to be as practical as it is rugged. No matter the job, when you're ready to go, this Jeep truck will be, too.

Freedom to Roam

Adventure isn’t just about where you go but how you experience it. As the only open-air pickup on the market, the Jeep Gladiator delivers an unmatched level of immersion. A removable roof, windshield, and doors help you feel the wind, sun, and the thrill of the open road like never before.

Continuing the trend of offering unmatched personalization, the Jeep Gladiator offers several roof configurations, including:

  • Sunrider® Soft Top
  • Freedom Panel 3-piece Hardtop
  • Mopar® Hardtop
  • Sunrider® Flip Top
  • Mopar® Sun Bonnet

While the wind whips through your hair, the Gladiator’s cabin keeps you grounded with thoughtful amenities. Optional 8-way power front seats make it easy to find the perfect driving position, while available heated front seats help ease muscle tension on long treks, turning quick outings into all-day adventures.

Built to Endure Any Mission

Every inch of the Jeep Gladiator is built to carry your ambitions, whether a stack of lumber, a week's worth of camping gear, or the tools of your trade. The Gladiator makes hauling feel effortless with a 60.3-inch-long, 56.8-inch-wide bed offering up to 35.5 cubic feet of cargo space.

An optional spray-in bedliner helps protect the cargo area against dents, scratches, and rust, ensuring your truck stays ready for the next challenge. Meanwhile, standard and available cargo management systems keep everything secure and within reach, including:

  • 4 tow hooks
  • Cargo tie-downs
  • Trail Railâ„¢ System
  • Lockable rear underseat storage

From jobsite mornings to mountain trail weekends, the Gladiator is utility reimagined for those who see every task as an opportunity to explore.

ADVENTURE

Jeep Gladiator

Schedules don’t wait, and neither should your truck. Advanced off-road technology and tailored design elements make the Jeep Gladiator the ultimate partner in exploration.

Smart Tech for Tough Terrain

Brains meet brawn on every trail. The Jeep Gladiator integrates cutting-edge connectivity and adventure-ready intelligence through its intuitive Uconnect® 5 system. A 12.3-inch touchscreen places maps, music, and vehicle controls within easy reach, while Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration keep you connected and your focus on the road ahead.

When the doors are off and the horizon is calling, the available Alpine® Premium Audio System maximizes the fun with strategically placed speakers that ensure crisp audio from every seat. An optional removable wireless speaker lets the soundtrack follow you beyond the truck, whether to a campsite or deep in the backcountry.

Beyond entertainment, advanced trail technology rounds out the experience. Available Off-Road Adventure Guides help locate nearby trails, while the optional TrailCam Off-Road Camera offers a forward-facing view of obstacles, giving you the confidence to tackle rough terrain head-on.

Tailored for Every Adventure

Every adventurer is unique, and so is the Jeep Gladiator. With six trim levels, nine colors, and seemingly endless customization packages, you can craft a Gladiator that speaks to your terrain, lifestyle, and sense of adventure.

For those who prefer to tiptoe through the wilderness, earth-toned hues like Granite Crystal and Anvil help you blend in with your surroundings. For drivers who see every journey as a statement, bold colors like Hydro Blue, Firecracker Red, and Mojito turn heads long before the engine starts.

Beyond color options, every optional package adds purpose:

  • LED Headlamps and Fog Lamp Group: Enhances visibility when daylight fades.
  • Premium Package: Elevates refinement with McKinley leather-trimmed seats and 18-inch Gray aluminum wheels.
  • Convenience Group: Keeps you connected and prepared with 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot and other smart amenities.

Your Gladiator reflects how you take on the world, so how will you style it?

Jeep and Ford are classic rivals, especially regarding the Gladiator and the Ranger.
