Since its debut in 1963, the Jeep Gladiator has carved a niche for itself as a midsize pickup truck with unparalleled off-road capabilities and rugged charm. At Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat (CJDRF) in Broken Arrow, we’re excited about the 2025 Gladiator bringing many notable updates. With enthusiasts and new customers eagerly awaiting, we’re proud to showcase our diverse lineup of Jeep vehicles, with the Gladiator taking a prominent spot. Here’s a look at what’s in store for the new truck.
Engine Performance
All eight trims of the 2025 Gladiator use the robust 3.6L Pentastar V-6, which produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Jeep is expected to introduce a plug-in hybrid variant, reflecting the company’s commitment to sustainability and performance. The new Gladiator’s advanced engineering helps it achieve noteworthy fuel efficiency, getting up to 22 mpg in the city, and you can expect smooth shifting with the eight-speed automatic transmission.
Advanced Off-Road Capabilities
The Gladiator has always been a marvel in off-road capabilities, and the 2025 model is no exception. Its key features include:
- Command-Trac and Rock-Trac: Four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems available according to trim level
- Selec-Trac: A full-time-4WD system that might be available on select trims
- Off-road specifics: Electronic sway bar disconnect, locking differentials
- High ground clearance: Optimal approach/departure angles
- Water fording: The capability to tackle streams and puddles
New or improved terrain management systems and off-road driving modes will heighten the Gladiator’s prowess on varied terrains. Enhanced driving modes may offer tailored experiences for different off-road conditions.
Towing and Payload
The 2025 Gladiator can tow 7,700 pounds and carry a payload of 1,725 pounds, making it a formidable contender in the midsize truck segment. With integrated trailer sway control and other towing assist features, the Gladiator excels in safety and utility. These improvements keep it competitive against its peers, such as the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Chevrolet Colorado.
