Jeep’s Gladiator is a handsome mid-sized pickup truck, providing tons of practicality to go with its off-road prowess. From its powertrain selections to its interior features, the truck can be customized in an endless number of ways to better suit your needs. Here’s a quick guide to the 2023 Jeep Gladiator!
Powertrain Options
Two capable engines are available with the Gladiator. The standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 produces ample performance with its 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Those prioritizing efficiency will want to consider the 260-hp 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 that produces a hefty 442 lb-ft of torque while achieving an EPA-rated 28 MPG highway. As for the transmission, buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic.
The standard 4×4 system aids in conquering a multitude of environments. Available Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials on the front and rear axles further enhance traction. Rubicon models come standard with the Rock-Trac system, which uses a 4:1 low range and 84:1 crawl ratio to give you the greatest amount of control when navigating over rocky terrain.
Towing and Hauling
When equipped with the Max Tow Package’s Class IV hitch, the Gladiator can tow up to 7,700 pounds: an incredible amount of weight for a mid-sized truck! This package also offers heavy-duty engine cooling and an additional camera view of the hitch, coming with 4x zoom and making it easier to line up with a trailer. The bed’s sturdy construction enables it to hold up to 1,700 pounds of payload.
Adding to the truck bed’s versatility is its available 115-volt power outlet and Trail Rail cargo management system, featuring multiple tie-downs that can hook up to the cross rails and cargo basket to better secure your things.
Passenger Cabin
The Gladiator’s cabin can be opened up, so passengers can enjoy that fresh country air. Like the Wrangler, all four doors are easily removable, and you can remove the soft top or hardtop. When temperatures drop, available amenities like heated seats and a heated steering wheel will keep you cozy. Remote vehicle start is offered, as well, which can heat up the cabin before you get in.
Durable cloth upholstery and available all-weather floor mats are made to endure the elements and harsh use.
Infotainment
The standard infotainment system is Jeep’s Uconnect 4 that comes with a responsive 7-inch touchscreen display. Many trims will have the option of an 8.4-inch Uconnect 4C NAV system featuring built-in navigation. Either way, you can take advantage of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth streaming audio, and SiriusXM satellite radio.
With the Gladiator, drivers will get a vehicle that combines the utility of a pickup with the rugged performance that Jeep is famous for. Contact Enumclaw Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today and we’ll be happy to set you up with a test drive!
