For drivers that want expert-level off-roading capabilities in their pickup, there’s only one option: the 2025 Jeep Gladiator. This pickup is built on the same platform as the iconic Wrangler SUV but has added truck functionality thanks to its 5.5-foot bed. There are many standout features of the 2025 Gladiator, so let’s explore some of them.
1. Robust V6 Engine
The Gladiator uses a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine that delivers 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. For 2025, this powerplant is paired exclusively with an 8-speed automatic transmission, replacing the manual option for all trims.
2. Best-in-Class Towing
The Gladiator has a best-in-class maximum tow rating of 7,700 pounds when equipped with the optional tow package. It also carries a 1,725-pound payload capacity in Sport S trims, making it a top-tier truck for hauling trailers, RVs, or heavy loads. All models come with Trailer Sway Control, which uses selective braking to stabilize your trailer during towing.
3. Advanced 4×4 Platform
Two 4×4 platforms are featured in the Gladiator’s lineup. Sport and Sport S trims use the Command-Trac part-time 4×4 system, which can be engaged when needed. Rubicon trims feature the Rock-Trac 4×4 system with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, heavy-duty transfer case, Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials, and electronic front sway bar disconnect. Mojave trims add desert-specific tuning to withstand hot and unforgiving desert environments.
4. Open-Air Design
The Gladiator features the same open-air design as the Wrangler, with removable roof, doors, and fold-down windshield. Top options include a three-piece hardtop in body color or black, and a black soft top.
5. Thoughtful Comfort and Style
For 2025, all models include power locks and windows, even the base Sport trim. Higher trims add thoughtful comfort features such as heated, power-adjustable front seats with optional leather upholstery, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and push-button start. The new Dark Sky Package offers blacked-out styling elements, including bumper inserts, badges, decals, and wheels.
6. Tech-Enhanced Rides
All Gladiator models have a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Uconnect 5 software, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa voice control. The optional Uconnect 5 NAV software adds a native navigation system and the ability to access 3,000+ trail guides. The Gladiator boasts the most available USB ports in its class, with up to seven spread across the cabin.
The Gladiator is a pickup made for those who crave the freedom of the trails, but still need a capable vehicle for work and everyday tasks. With its strong power and towing strength, advanced 4×4 systems, premium interior amenities, and cutting-edge technology, the Gladiator is a go-to pickup for all those who consider the outdoors their true home.
