The Robust Features of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator

Powerful Engine

The Gladiator is equipped with the venerated 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, which delivers up to 285 HP and 260 pound-feet of torque, enabling its impressive capabilities. For starters, it allows this hulking pickup to go from 0 to 60 in only 7 seconds, ensuring confident merging and overtaking.

With its best-in-class 7,700-pound towing capacity, you can tow a midsize camper, 25-foot boat, or fully loaded utility trailer with ease. Meanwhile, its remarkable 1,725-pound payload rating makes the Gladiator perfect for hauling hefty cargo, such as overlanding gear, construction supplies, and toys such as ATVs and dirt bikes.

Smooth Handling and Performance

The Gladiator makes for an excellent daily driver, thanks to several thoughtful features that ensure a pleasant driving experience. The standard 6-speed manual transmission not only makes each drive engaging, but also provides better control when tackling rugged terrain. Meanwhile, the silky-smooth shifts of the optional 8-speed automatic transmission deliver a refined ride. The nicely weighted power steering provides exceptional road feedback, resulting in agile handling.

High-Level Off-Roading Machinery

The Gladiator comes with a long list of impressive trail-ready hardware. For starters, 32-inch all-terrain tires, heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles, undercarriage skid plates, rock rails, and a Gorilla Glass windshield ensure that this truck is able to access rough trails, take a beating, and emerge unharmed. Creeks and rivers aren’t off-limits either, thanks to 11.6 inches of ground clearance and a MOPAR snorkel, which enable the Gladiator to handle water-fording depths of up to 31.5 inches.

When the terrain demands for more capability, the Gladiator’s advanced 4×4 system comes into play. With its 4:1 low-range gear and 4.1 axle ratio, it enables an incredible 84:1 crawl ratio, ensuring maximum power at low speeds for exceptional control when navigating slippery surfaces or when climbing steep hills.

Spacious and Comfortable Cabin

Even though the Gladiator is built rugged, it offers a premium cabin to ensure a comforting ride regardless of the conditions outside. The fold-down windshield and removable doors and roof, provide an exclusive open-air experience, while the heated waterproof seats soothe your body. You also get dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an Alpine sound system.
