How can a spacious and comfortable midsize truck, a powerful and capable off-road beast, and a stunningly gorgeous and sophisticated pickup with sleek lines and bold new looks all share the same parking spot? Simple: itās the 2024 Jeep Gladiator, which perfectly represents all three of those concepts, plus plenty more. If you have been interested in seeing what the Gladiator has to offerāor perhaps you have been enjoying one for a few years and you are ready to upgrade to a new modelāthen there has never been a better time than right now to check one out. The 2024 Gladiator has been revamped and refreshed with a stunning new facelift and incredible features inside and out that take this off-road warrior further than ever before.
In some ways, Jeep has simplified things with the 2024 model by discontinuing its diesel engine and focusing on what drivers have wanted mostāgreat power and off-road capability. You will still find a robust 3.6L V6 engine in the Gladiator, which gives it the muscle to go anywhere you need with reliable performance. Speaking of going anywhere, the 2024 Gladiator has become even more capable of hitting the trail thanks to two new trims: the Mojave X and Rubicon X, both of which have been designed to beautifully blend comfort and power. Following in the treads of the Jeep Wrangler, which was refreshed this year, the Gladiator looks better than ever with a more refined front grille, new wheel designs, and more exciting exterior details and options.
Inside, you will find an equally elegant and updated interior that is incredibly comfortable and comes with some of the nicest standard and available features we have ever seen. For starters, every Gladiator model comes standard with a stunning 12.3-inch Infotainment display that is easy to use and read at a glance so you can stay focused on the road (or trail). Available options include 12-way power-adjustable front seats, leather interior upholstery and seating, and much more. No matter what you are looking for in your adventurous midsize truck, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is ready to deliver and look better than ever while doing it.
Starting at
Although the Gladiator is a midsize truck that can help you get a lot of work done, at its heart, it isāabove all other thingsāa Jeep, which means it is born for taking the road less traveled (or previously untraveled). While in the past, a diesel engine has been offered for the Gladiator, most drivers preferred the standard 3.6L V6 engine, which remains the powertrain you will find in this truck for 2024. This engine delivers an impressive 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, and it comes paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission, though an eight-speed automatic is available if that is what you prefer. As you would expect, four-wheel drive is standard with the Gladiator, and it can tow up to 7,700 lbs when properly equipped to tackle whatever you need.
When it comes to off-road capability and performance, that is where the Gladiator truly shines, and it reveals more than a passing similarity to the legendary Jeep Wrangler. In fact, many drivers have commented on how the Gladiator feels much like a lengthened version of the Wrangler with the engineering and body of a truck. For starters, you have up to 11.6 inches of ground clearance available, giving you the freedom to climb over a wide range of obstacles and go anywhere you need to. This is paired with up to 30 inches of water fording capability, making the Gladiator the perfect choice for a wide range of situations and different terrains.
A whole host of new wheel options are part of the 2024 update for the Gladiator, which not only look stunning but also help you with boosted performance and off-road capability. These wheels include standard 17-inch black steel-styled wheels, along with available options such as machined wheels with black pockets for an added touch of style and a bold overall appearance. Available snowflake-rated tires might not be crucial if most of your driving is in Kentucky, but if you plan on heading north or you want to hit some trails up in the mountains, they provide crucial traction for wintery weather.
From the first moment you look at it, the facelift and visual refresh for the 2024 Jeep Gladiator becomes immediately apparent. The Gladiator has looked fantastic from the moment it was first introduced, but this update makes it look better than ever. Front and center is a new grille that maintains the classic Jeep seven-slot look, but with a more refined and sophisticated approach, similar to the modern look for the Wrangler. With rounded headlights on either side, which intrude just slightly on the outermost slots, the front end feels compact and tightly controlled for a refined overall look that makes an immediate impression.
Even with its new looks, the features we have come to expect from the Gladiator remain, such as removable doors and an open-air design that lets you really feel the trail around you when you go off-road. This adds to the adventurous aesthetic and rugged feel the Gladiator is known for, with sleek lines and strong shapes that perfectly accentuate its bold, aggressive stance. You will still find a five-foot bed on the Gladiator, giving you plenty of room for loading up with camping supplies or anything else you need to bring with you. It has a best-in-class 4x4 payload capacity of up to 1,725 lbs. No matter what you need from your truck and wherever you want to go, the 2024 Gladiator is ready to deliver.
With the gorgeous new looks of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator and its incredible off-road potential, it is easy to overlook the interior of this bold truck, but that would be a mistake. We admit that we can be guilty of doing this; sometimes, we just get too excited about heading out and hitting the trail to think about the interior of the truck that surrounds us. Once you do pause a moment to take a good look at the inside of the Gladiator, it becomes clear that Jeep has overlooked nothing. The interior of the Gladiator has always been great, particularly with some of the available options on offer, but it is better than ever, thanks to the update.
In case you were worried about being uncomfortable during long drives or when you are out on the trail, there are new 12-way power front seats available that have been positioned for optimal visibility when you are behind the wheel. They are even designed to handle the immense water-fording capability of the Gladiator, so you can splash through the great outdoors without worrying about taking a toll on the interior of your truck. Just as exciting is the fact that every Jeep Gladiator now comes with a set of standard side-curtain airbags for both the first and second rows, providing you with added safety and security to go along with all of these other impressive features. No matter where you plan on going with your Gladiator, Jeep has ensured you will get there in style and with peace of mind.
Front and center, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator features an absolutely stunning 12.3-inch touchscreen Infotainment display for navigation, entertainment, and more. This is a massive upgrade from last yearās model, which featured a 7.0-inch screen as the standard feature, with an 8.4-inch display as an available option; for 2024, this 12.3-inch screen is standard on every Gladiator model. This incredible new screen is paired with the latest Uconnect 5 Infotainment system that is intuitive, easy to use, and provides you with excellent functionality in a wide range of Jeepy situations. For example, the available Uconnect 5 NAV system includes integrated Trail Guides and Adventure Guides with different trails programmed into it, including all 62 Jeep Badge of Honor trails, making it easier to start earning those badges.
