The legend of the Jeep Brand pickup truck, Gladiator, is a true story. This is the best Jeep Brand pickup truck you can buy. It is extremely tough, rough, but it also has a very attractive look with its unique style that even the most demanding designers love.
The Gladiator is the best of both worlds, you get an attractive and sporty Jeep combined with the convenience of a pickup truck. It is 100% truck and 100% Jeep.
The Gladiator is an innovation, this is not your typical pickup truck. It is a 4×4 Jeep similar to the Wrangler or early Jeep Brand vehicles built by Willys-Overland in the 1940s, but with a pickup truck bed to handle large cargo loads.
If you look at Gladiator from the front, it doesn’t look like a pick-up truck. It is a Jeep with a large cargo bed. Driving a Gladiator is fun and makes you feel you can drive on any off-road or difficult driving conditions without being afraid of getting stuck, with the additional advantage of a nice bed for cargo.
New Features for 2025
The 2025 Gladiator has not changed significantly in price, design, or features. New for 2025, the Gladiator is equipped with a standard eight-speed automatic 850RE transmission.
Also new for 2025 standard power lock and power windows.
New Fathom Blue and military olive drab-inspired ’41 exterior paint colors available.
Active Cabin Ventilation (available) allows Gladiator buyers to pre-condition their vehicle’s cabin, evacuating hot air in warmer weather, via the Jeep Connect mobile app before entering the vehicle.
The new Gladiator looks great with a refreshed look, new standard safety and security features, and advanced technology. One of my favorite tech features is the new standard across all Gladiator trim levels: the Uconnect 5 system, which includes a large 12.3-inch touchscreen for better visibility.
The available Uconnect 5 NAV system lets you tap into Segment-Exclusive Integrated Off-Road Adventure Guides, featuring all 68 Jeep Badge of Honor trails.
If you want power, the Gladiator has an impressive 7,700-pound gas towing capacity on the Sport and Sport S trim models when equipped with the available Max Tow Package, and then the Best-in-Class 1,725-pound 4×4 payload on Sport S models.
Test Driving the Gladiator Sport
The Gladiator Sort trim model is the base trim on the Gladiator lineup, it has most of the important features you get on all other Gladiators and it costs less than $40K what is good value and price for this type of Jeep and pickup truck.
The Sport model comes with 17-inch x 7.5-inch black Steel Styled Wheels. Standard 245/75R17 All-Season Tires.
Standard Uconnect 5 with a 12.3-inch Touch Screen Display looks very modern and help you have a better driving experience.
Included in the base Sport trim model, the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with Stop/Start has more than the power you need when driving this Jeep Pickup Truck.
3.73 Axle Ratio is also standard on the Gladiator Sport.
The Gladiator Sport is Ready for Adventure
The Jeep Gladiator is ready to take you on any adventure from the Red Rock Canyon to the slippery sands of any desert, or even the Sahara desert in Egypt too.
New Gladiator features like the available ParkSense Rear Park Assist System that uses sonar sensors to sound an alert when you get too close to a potential hazard when backing into a parking spot. Plus, the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera works together with the Uconnect touchscreen to help guide you when you shift into reverse.
3.6-liter Pentastar V6 Engine
The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine powering the Jeep Gladiator produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque and comes with ESS (Electronic Start / Stop) technology as standard. A standard eight-speed automatic 850RE transmission with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine.
The Gladiator has been built to produce a wide range of torque and especially to improve delivery for the practice of extreme off-road.
