The 2025 Jeep Gladiator is back, tougher than ever, with fresh updates that off-road enthusiasts will appreciate. Whether tearing through desert dunes or crawling over rocky trails, this truck has been fine-tuned to handle it all. One big change this year: manual transmission is no longer available. Jeep is going all-in on the 8-speed automatic, giving every Gladiator a smoother, more responsive ride, whether you're on the highway or deep in the backcountry.
In terms of convenience, there are some cool new additions—power windows and door locks are now standard, and Jeep has introduced a few eye-catching new paint colors. Plus, the handy pre-conditioning feature lets you warm up or cool down your Gladiator remotely using the Jeep Connect app, making it easy to get your truck just the way you like it before heading out.
Exploring the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Lineup
The Gladiator lineup offers something for everyone with eight unique trims available at Landmark Dodge of Morrow: Sport, Nighthawk, Sport S, Willys, Rubicon, Mojave, Rubicon X, and Mojave X. Whether you want a tough, no-frills workhorse or a specialized off-road machine, there's a Gladiator trim that fits your needs.
Under the Hood: Performance that Delivers
Every Gladiator in the 2025 lineup packs a punch with a 3.6-liter V6 engine under the hood. This powerhouse delivers 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, with four-wheel drive standard across the board. For the off-roaders, the Willys trim kicks things up with a locking rear differential, while the Rubicon is built for the most demanding trails with a 4.10 rear axle, 4:1 low-range gearing, and locking differentials front and rear to power through the toughest terrain.
Fuel Economy and Towing Muscle
The Gladiator is no slouch when it comes to efficiency, offering up to 19 mpg combined (17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway). And if towing is part of your plan, the Max Tow package gives you the ability to haul up to 7,700 pounds, with a payload capacity of 1,725 pounds—perfect for those weekends spent adventuring with gear in tow.
Size and Cargo Versatility
As a midsize truck, the Gladiator measures in at 218 inches long, 73.8 inches wide, and 75 inches tall. It comes in a crew-cab setup with four full-size doors, making it a comfortable ride for all. The 5-foot bed offers up to 35.5 cubic feet of cargo space, while inside, rear passengers get a roomy 42.8 inches of headroom and 38.3 inches of legroom.
Safety on and off the Trail
Jeep hasn’t held back in the least on safety, with a rearview camera standard across all trims. The Sport S trim and above unlocks features like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. Off-roaders will love the optional forward-facing TrailCam on the Mojave and Rubicon trims, perfect for keeping an eye on tricky trail conditions.
Tech that Keeps You Connected
Every 2025 Gladiator comes with a large 12.3-inch touchscreen, equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, Bluetooth, and satellite radio. There's also a Wi-Fi hotspot and multiple USB ports to keep you connected no matter where you are. If you're looking for even more tech, the Sport S trim can be upgraded with the Technology Group, adding features like navigation and a premium Alpine audio system to enhance your adventures.
