Is the Jeep Gladiator all new for 2024?
No, the Jeep Gladiator is not all-new for 2024. Instead, it has received a refresh with some updates. The 2024 model brings a new rounder grille, a standard 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, new wheel designs, and a windshield-integrated antenna. The diesel V-6 engine has been discontinued, leaving the gas 3.6-liter V-6 as the sole powerplant. Additionally, new trims like the Mojave X and Rubicon X have been introduced, featuring more equipment, including steel bumpers and power-adjustable leather seats. However, these changes are considered updates rather than a complete redesign, so it is not an all-new model.

The Gladiator is offered in ten trim levels:
- Sport
- Sport S
- Nighthawk
- Willys
- Texas Trail
- High Tide
- Beach
- Mojave (as tested)

MSRP as tested $66,690.00 including destination charge.

What engine comes with the Jeep Gladiator?
3.6L Six-Cylinder
The Jeep Gladiator comes with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission, with an optional eight-speed automatic transmission available.
Towing and Payload Capacity
The 2024 Jeep Gladiator boasts an impressive towing capability, with a maximum capacity of 7,700 pounds when equipped with the optional Max Tow package. Even without the package, the Gladiator can still tow up to 4,000 pounds, which is significantly higher than the Wrangler’s 3,500-pound limit. When it comes to hauling, the Gladiator’s truck bed can accommodate a payload ranging from 1,105 to 1,725 pounds, depending on the configuration.

What are the interior features of the Jeep Gladiator?
The Jeep Gladiator’s interior blends rugged functionality with user-friendly design, featuring an upright dashboard reminiscent of the Wrangler’s and straightforward controls. Durable touches like a waterproof push-button start complement optional comfort upgrades such as a heated steering wheel and heated front seats. The extended wheelbase enhances rear-seat legroom, removable body and roof panels allow for an open-air experience. Inside, the Gladiator offers clever storage options, including a 5.5-foot cargo bed, smartphone slots, and a hidden compartment under the back seat, with seats that can be configured and locked securely for off-road stability.

All Jeep Gladiator models come equipped with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The audio system can be enhanced with an optional subwoofer and a portable wireless speaker located behind the back seat. Front-seat occupants have access to multiple power outlets, including two USB ports, a USB-C port, and an available 115-volt outlet.
How does the Jeep Gladiator Majave Drive?
I have two perspectives to answer this question:
As a fairly tall, family man: It offers a unique mix of practicality and fun. With plenty of legroom compared to other off-road trucks, making it more comfortable for taller passengers like myself. Getting kids in and out, especially those in booster seats, can be a bit of a challenge given the ride height.
As a car enthusiast: Truly shines off the beaten path. With its desert-rated suspension, reinforced frame, and high-clearance Fox shocks, it’s built to tackle rough terrain at speed. The steering is a bit vague on the road due to the off-road-tuned suspension, but that’s a worthwhile trade-off for the truck’s capability. The ability to remove the doors and roof make it a thrill to drive in open terrain.
Final thoughts
I was truly grateful to have the Jeep Gladiator Mojave during the week that Hurricane Milton was approaching. The truck proved invaluable for loading sandbags into the cargo bed, showing its practical side when it mattered most. While the Gladiator may not be the smoothest ride on the pavement, its ruggedness and off-road capability make up for it, especially when faced with challenging conditions.
