The Jeep Gladiator 2025 has arrived with some important updates that make it more practical, more feature-rich, and even tougher for adventure lovers. Jeep has retained its rugged design and strong off-road capability, but at the same time added modern features for better comfort and convenience.
Engine and Performance
The new Gladiator comes powered by a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 petrol engine. This engine produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough to handle off-road trails as well as daily driving. The big change in 2025 is that Jeep has discontinued the manual gearbox, and now the Gladiator is offered only with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Different 4WD systems are available depending on the trim, making it capable in all terrains.
Design and Exterior
On the outside, the Jeep Gladiator 2025 continues with its bold and boxy design, which is inspired from the Wrangler. The front fascia remains iconic with the seven-slot grille, round headlamps and muscular stance. Jeep has introduced two new colour options this year – Fathom Blue and a military inspired Olive Green called ’41. With its aggressive styling and removable doors and roof, the Gladiator maintains its adventure-ready character.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Gladiator offers a spacious cabin with seating for five. The 2025 model now gets power windows and power door locks as standard, even on the base trim. One of the new additions is Active Cabin Ventilation, which allows owners to pre-cool or vent hot air through the Jeep Connect mobile app. The infotainment system comes with a touchscreen, smartphone connectivity, and the higher trims get more premium touches with leather seats, better sound system, and advanced safety features.
Towing and Payload
The Gladiator has always been known for its utility, and the 2025 model continues this tradition. It can tow up to 7,700 pounds with the Max Tow package and has a payload capacity of around 1,725 pounds. The five-foot cargo bed is practical for carrying luggage, equipment, or adventure gear.
Fuel Economy
Despite being a rugged pickup, the Gladiator returns a reasonable fuel efficiency. It delivers around 17 mpg in the city, 22 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg combined.
Dimensions
The 2025 Gladiator measures approximately 218 inches in length and 73.8 inches in width, giving it a strong road presence. It has a four-door crew cab layout, providing comfortable space for passengers and utility at the back.
Trims and Pricing
Jeep offers the Gladiator 2025 in multiple trims including Sport, Sport S, Willys, Mojave, Rubicon, Rubicon X, and Mojave X. Each trim offers a unique blend of comfort, off-road ability, and luxury. The pricing starts from around $38,100 and goes up to nearly $63,000 for the top models in the USA market.
Conclusion
The Jeep Gladiator 2025 is a perfect mix of adventure, practicality, and modern features. With its updated features, rugged engine, powerful towing capacity, and legendary Jeep styling, it stands as one of the most versatile lifestyle pickup trucks available today.
