2025 Jeep Gladiator

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator lineup blends iconic design with distinct personalities across its trims, each engineered for a specific kind of adventure. The new Nighthawk edition is a stealthy, street-savvy package featuring 20-inch black aluminum wheels, dark exterior accents including a Mopar® grille, and rugged good looks. The Willys trim honors Jeep’s off-road heritage, offering 32-inch mud-terrain tires, a rear locking differential, and rock rails for trail-ready capability. The Mojave trim is desert-rated, built for high-speed sand runs with FOX® 2.5 internal by-pass shocks, front hydraulic jounce bumpers, and reinforced frame components. For those wanting luxury without sacrificing brawn, the Rubicon X delivers with full-time 4WD, steel bumpers, a body-color hardtop, and Nappa leather-trimmed seats. Built for the Lone Star lifestyle, the Texas Trail trim adds unique badging, black leather seats embossed with the Texas state outline, and off-road gear like a Trac-Lok® rear differential and 32-inch tires.

Under the hood of the 2025 Jeep Gladiator lies the proven 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine, a workhorse capable of delivering 285 hp and 260 lbs.-ft. of torque. Whether you’re conquering rocky paths or cruising through downtown Anderson, this powertrain provides steady, confident output. Paired with an advanced 8-speed automatic transmission, the Gladiator delivers responsive shifting and smooth power delivery across a wide range of driving conditions, ensuring it's just as comfortable on the pavement as it is crawling through rugged terrain.

The Gladiator’s performance pedigree is unmistakable. With Best-in-Class 4x4 payload of up to 1,725 lbs. and a gas towing capacity of 7,700 lbs., this pickup is engineered for the toughest jobs and boldest adventures. Trail Rated® capability comes standard, including the Command-Trac® 4x4 system for versatile off-road performance. For more extreme challenges, the Rubicon trim features the Rock-Trac® 4x4 system with a 4:1 low gear ratio and an 84:1 crawl ratio when equipped with the manual transmission, allowing for slow, deliberate control over the most punishing obstacles. The Mojave trim earns its Desert Rated badge with reinforced suspension components and hydraulic jounce bumpers, giving it superior high-speed off-road stability. Off-Road+ Mode fine-tunes throttle response, shift points, and traction for varying terrains, while the electronic front sway bar disconnect system enhances articulation on the trail. From muddy Midwest trails to sandy Indiana dunes, the Gladiator adapts and thrives.

Inside, the 2025 Gladiator blends durability with refined comfort, creating a space built for both hardcore adventure and everyday utility. Designed to weather the elements—even capable of fording up to 31.5 inches of water—the interior features high-quality materials, including available Nappa leather-trimmed seating that stands up to mud, sand, and unexpected weather. With Best-in-Class rear seat legroom, the back row is comfortable enough for adults even with the roof and doors in place. A new class-leading 12.3-inch Uconnect® touchscreen infotainment system is the centerpiece of the dash, offering Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and built-in trail mapping and navigation tools. Crisp, bright, and intuitive, it keeps critical info at your fingertips even in direct sunlight. Lockable rear seat storage and under-seat compartments help keep gear secure and organized, while features like heated front seats and dual-zone climate control add daily driving comfort to this adventure-ready cabin.

Safety is seamlessly integrated into the Gladiator’s go-anywhere spirit. Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection enhance awareness when changing lanes or backing out of tight parking spots. Adaptive Cruise Control keeps a safe distance on long highway drives, while Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking adds a crucial layer of protection in unpredictable traffic. Maneuvering is simplified with Rear Park Assist and a high-resolution backup camera, and off-road excursions are aided by the available TrailCam™ Off-Road Camera, displaying obstacles directly on the touchscreen. Coupled with a high-strength steel frame and advanced airbag systems, the Gladiator provides robust protection whether you’re trail running or just tackling the daily grind.
