The V6 delivers dependable performance for everyday driving, towing, and off-road adventures.

Hemi V8 Coming?

One of the biggest stories surrounding the Gladiator is what's expected next.

Jeep has hinted that a Hemi V8-powered Gladiator is on the horizon. While official details have yet to be announced, many enthusiasts expect the legendary 6.4-liter HEMI V8 from the Wrangler 392 to eventually make its way into the Gladiator lineup.

If that happens, it would create one of the most exciting factory-built off-road trucks ever offered by Jeep.

Towing Capacity

One reason buyers choose the Gladiator over the Wrangler is towing capability.

Maximum Towing

Up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.

That's enough for:

·      Boats

·      Utility trailers

·      Small campers

·      Side-by-sides

·      Jet skis

For many Beaufort and Hilton Head drivers, that's more than enough capability for weekends on the water.

Payload Capacity

Need to haul supplies?

The Gladiator can carry up to 1,720 pounds of payload in the bed when properly equipped.

That's impressive capability for a midsize truck and one of the reasons it's popular with contractors, outdoor enthusiasts, and DIY homeowners.

MPG

Official EPA ratings may vary depending on trim and equipment.

Current Gladiator models are rated around:

·      17 MPG City

·      22 MPG Highway

Expect similar fuel economy for the 2027 model.

Cargo & Bed Utility

The Gladiator features a five-foot steel cargo bed designed for work and recreation.

Available features include:

·      Spray-in bedliner

·      Integrated tie-downs

·      Trail Rail™ cargo management

·      115-volt power outlet

·      Three-position tailgate

Whether you're hauling beach gear to Hilton Head or supplies for a home project, the Gladiator is ready.

It feels far more refined than older Jeep trucks while still embracing its rugged personality.

How Does the Gladiator Compare to Other Midsize Trucks?

Only the Gladiator lets you:

·      Remove the doors

·      Remove the roof

·      Fold down the windshield

·      Enjoy true open-air driving
