Why the Jeep Gladiator is the Most Versatile Pickup Truck on the Market


The Jeep Gladiator: Capability, Off-Road Prowess, and Open-Air Versatility

If you’re looking for a pickup designed for fun, adventure, and daily driving, look no further than the innovative and off-road-ready Jeep Gladiator. It has the open-air freedom that drivers have come to expect from the Jeep lineup, along with an impressive towing capability and payload capacity necessary in a midsize pickup. If you want to hit the trails, cruise with the top down, and tow your favorite toys, visit Hilltop Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM.

Ready for Off-Road Adventures

Whether you’re driving around Oakland or going off-road in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Jeep Gladiator gets the job done. The Gladiator deserves its Trail Rated badging thanks to its impressive 11-inch ground clearance, solid front and rear axles, underbody skid plates, and 17-inch wheels.

While all Gladiator trims can easily tackle trails, the Gladiator Rubicon does it the best. This trim is outfitted with locking differentials, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and the Rock-Trac 4x4 system designed for rock crawling and other off-road challenges.

Open-Air Versatility & Towing Capability

Jeep outfits every Gladiator with the Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission give the Gladiator the ability to tow up to 4000 pounds. The 5.5-foot cargo bed can carry up to 1,725 pounds of payload.

Along with the impressive towing and payload capabilities, the Gladiator is the only pickup truck on the market with a removable roof and doors. Even the windshield folds down for better visibility on your off-road adventures. With the Jeep Gladiator, you get the fun of a convertible with the utility of a midsize pickup.

Innovative & Comfortable Interior Features

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator is available in seven trims, from the entry-level Sport to the well-equipped Rubicon X. The interior features begin with durable cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, and a large 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto. Standard tech features also include a Wi-Fi hotspot and an eight-speaker audio system.

Moving up one trim adds several optional features. The optional Technology Group package comes with a household outlet, navigation, an Alpine nine-speaker audio system, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The top Mohave X and Rubicon X trims have heated and power-adjustable leather upholstery, along with a heated steering wheel, remote start, and universal garage door opener.

Like the iconic Jeep Wrangler, the Jeep Gladiator is ready for customization. For more versatility, you can add everything from an LED light bar and roof rack to lift kits and winches to make your Gladiator stand out from the crowd.
