Every aspect of the 2024 Gladiator keeps you in control on the road and off.

With up to 11.1 inches of ground clearance, you can tackle a wide variety of trails. Precision steering improves maneuverability no matter where you drive. 

Towing Features and Technologies

The Jeep Gladiator features a trailer sway control system that applies brake pressure to select wheels as needed when the trailer sways to bring it back into line. With the Trailer Tow and Auxiliary Switch Group, you can add a frame-mounted Class IV hitch, 240-amp alternator, and four programmable auxiliary switches to your Gladiator Sport S. 

The Sport and Sport S trims are available with the Max Tow Package, which gives you the best of everything regarding towing. This package adds 245/75R17 all-terrain tires, black two-piece fender flares, and a 240-amp alternator. You’ll enjoy a conventional differential, heavy-duty Dana 44 wide front axle, and heavy-duty Dana 44 wide rear axle. With the lower 4.10 axle ratio, you’ll enjoy lower engine rpm for maximum efficiency when pulling a trailer.

The Max Tow Package also includes a Class IV receiver hitch and daytime running lamp system. It provides a Trac-Lok anti-spin rear differential that helps maintain traction in rough or slippery conditions by distributing available rear torque to the rear wheel that needs it most. With the right package added to your Jeep, you can enjoy the maximum towing capabilities for those heavy loads.

Off-Road Capability and Towing

The Jeep Gladiator boasts renowned off-road capabilities. The Tru-Lok Electronic Locking Differentials deliver optimized traction on rugged terrain, so you don’t lose speed when the road gets rough.

The Gladiator features solid and durable features that help protect it across any terrain. These include skid plates, rock rails, and a high-strength steel chassis. High-strength aluminum maintains strength on essential vehicle parts such as the hood, fenders, tailgate, and doors while lightening the overall load.
