A Driver's Guide to the 2023 Jeep Gladiator

Engines and Versatility

This edition's two engine options pack plenty of power, with the first being a 3.6-liter V6 that generates 285 horsepower and the other a 260-horsepower 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. If fuel efficiency is your priority, the EcoDiesel engine is sure to impress, as it gets an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in highway mileage.

When venturing off the beaten path, the Gladiator is capable of traversing water at depths of up to 31.5 inches, thanks to its high air intake and water sealing, and if you need additional ground clearance, the rugged Rubicon models offer up to 11.1 inches.

Design and Comfort

As the only truly open-air truck in the automotive industry, the 2023 Gladiator's design allows you to easily remove its doors and top, and the windshield can be folded down for immersive drives through nature. Cargo in the bed can be concealed and protected with the available roll-up tonneau cover, and with the Trail Rail System, you can neatly organize it as needed.

Inside the vehicle, leather-trimmed seats and an automatic temperature control system help to make every drive more comfortable, while the multi-configurable seats in the rear of the cabin can be folded down to accommodate larger cargo.

Technology and Safety

All your entertainment and connectivity needs are met with this edition as well, thanks to its many impressive tech features, like the available Uconnect 4C NAV system. Along with offering navigational assistance, this infotainment system pairs with a full-color 8.5-inch touchscreen display and allows you to watch videos, listen to music, scroll through satellite radio channels, and connect smartphones to it wirelessly.

The vehicle's advanced safety systems use top-grade technology as well, like Blind Spot Monitoring, a feature that warns you whenever other vehicles are present in your blind spots. To prevent frontal collisions with vehicles, large objects, or pedestrians, Forward Collision Warning can let you know when you're approaching these types of hazards, while Active Braking can then fully stop the truck if necessary.

Rugged and ready for whatever adventures you have in mind, the 2023 Gladiator offers a unique mix of off-road prowess, cutting-edge technology, and a wide array of luxury interior comforts.
