Do you already have your eye set on one of the Jeep Gladiator trims? Maybe you've only begun exploring the array of editions of this adventurous Jeep pickup. Either way, we invite you to take a closer look at the model lineup to see which has the qualities you need for that next big adventure. Here are all the Jeep Gladiator trims explained in depth.
Start your Jeep truck search with the Gladiator Sport, the base trim that comes loaded with standard features other midsize pickups only dream of. Standard amenities include front fog lamps, cloth low-back bucket seats, all-season tires, and a gloss-Black limited badge.
Like other Gladiator trucks, the Sport trim comes standard with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine, providing plentiful performance and capability. This 285-horsepower V-6 engine is paired with a Jeep 4×4 system with heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, delivering Trail-Rated capability out of the box. The Gladiator Sport hits a max towing capacity of 4,500 pounds when properly equipped.
From its durable steel bed and heavy-duty axles to its removable top and doors and impressive towing capacity, the Gladiator Sport is a quality-built and adventure-ready pickup that's also the most affordable option within the trim lineup.
The Sport S includes all the elements of the Sport trim but with added bonuses. On the Sport S, you'll get standard power-heated mirrors and 17-inch Gray wheels, along with available features like the LED headlamp and fog lamp group, a Gorilla Glass windshield, and premium McKinley-trimmed seats.
The Sport S features updated safety systems, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, and Advanced Brake Assist. Together, these upgrades add security, convenience, and comfort to your Jeep Gladiator lease or ownership experience.
For classic Jeep styling in a modern pickup truck, turn to the Gladiator Willys trim level. With its 4WD tailgate decal and signature Willys hood decals, this pickup looks the part within the Jeep family of off-road-ready vehicles. You'll also enjoy standard LED headlamps, fog lights, and taillights.
OWL On/Off Road Tires, rock rails, and all-weather slush mats help prepare the Jeep Gladiator Willys for the elements and the trail.
If you're shopping and comparing the Jeep Wrangler vs. Jeep Gladiator, you'll recognize the next trim level as an option on both models. The Gladiator Rubicon trim brings this pickup's off-road performance to new heights with key upgrades like the following:
The new Jeep Gladiator Mojave (Mojave X) is the only Desert Rated edition of this pickup truck, and it brings several unique characteristics to your all-terrain travels. To earn its Desert Rated capability, the Gladiator Mojave receives significant tuning and upgrades to its shocks and suspension setup, including:
See the distinctive Desert Rated Gladiator Mojave at your local Jeep dealer and get behind the wheel for a test drive to experience it for yourself.
The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon X builds on the Rubicon but provides a more luxurious ride than its off-road sibling. It comes standard with the 12.3-inch infotainment system found on the other trucks but adds built-in navigation. You'll be rocking on uneven terrain with its Alpine® premium audio system, and staying plenty warm with its heated steering wheel. The Rubicon X also comes with a steel rear bumper and a winch-capable steel front bumper.
Like the Rubicon X, the Mojave X carries over all the features you see on the Mojave above but adds many of the same upgrades on the Rubicon X. This Desert Rated SUV comes standard with the premium Alpine® audio system, built-in navigation, heated steering wheel, and Automatic High-Beam Headlamp Control.
With desert-tuned suspension and a high ground clearance, this model is designed to conquer sandy dunes and rough terrain.
