Jeep Gladiator

Yes, the Jeep Gladiator shares its core DNA with the Wrangler, meaning the doors are completely removable and the roof can be taken off for an open-air experience. It is currently one of the only mid-size pickup trucks on the market to offer this level of outdoor customization. You can even fold down the windshield for a true off-road driving feel.

When properly equipped with the Max Tow package and the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, the Jeep Gladiator can tow up to 7,700 pounds. This towing capacity is significantly higher than what the smaller Wrangler SUV can handle. It makes the truck highly capable of hauling boats, campers, and heavy work trailers.

Yes, Jeep offered a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine option for the Gladiator, particularly on the Sport and Rubicon trims during recent model years. This diesel engine provided drivers with a massive 442 lb-ft of torque, ideal for low-speed rock crawling and heavy towing. Engine availability has fluctuated based on emissions regulations.

The Jeep Gladiator features a 5-foot composite truck bed located behind its four doors. Despite being a mid-size truck, the bed is surprisingly functional and comes standard with a three-position tailgate. It also features an available 115-volt power outlet in the bed to run small tools or appliances at a campsite.
