Jeep Gladiator Reviews

Performance

You have two engines to choose from under the hood of the Jeep Gladiator. The standard engine is a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, you get a maximum of 7,650 pounds of towing capacity.

The other engine is an available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 with slightly less horsepower at 260 but more torque at 442 lb-ft. When properly configured with this engine, the Gladiator has a towing capacity of 6,500 pounds.

If you enjoy off-roading, the available Off-Road+ feature allows you to adjust the throttle, transmission shift points, and traction control with the push of a button. Then you can tackle whatever terrain you might come across.

Interior

The interior of the Gladiator is comfortable. You can get available leather-trimmed seating and a wrapped dashboard with accent stitching for a hint of style.

The Gladiator, like many vehicles on the road today, has a standard infotainment system. You can even upgrade it to include in-vehicle navigation, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and a rear center console with two USB ports.

So you can keep cool on the hot Texas days, the Gladiator has an available Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control system. Set two different temperatures and the Gladiator will keep you and your co-pilot comfortable.

Trim Levels

The Gladiator has seven trim levels, giving you plenty of options and flexibility to get the version you need. The seven trim levels are the Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave, and High Altitude.

The Gladiator Sport is the first trim level. With it, you’ll get the standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine and a maximum payload capacity of 1,700 pounds. The Sport comes equipped with heavy-duty Dana® 44 solid front and rear axles for great durability and performance when you’re off-roading.

The highest trim level, the High Altitude, has impressive features from many of the previous trim levels all in one. For a rugged look, enjoy the 20-inch gloss black wheels and Freedom Top® body-color hardtop.

The High Altitude comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen powered by the Uconnect® 4 system. The seats are comfortable quilted Nappa leather-trimmed bucket seats.
