Adaptable Performance

When it comes to traction, water fording, maneuverability, articulation, and ground clearance, the Gladiator and the Wrangler Unlimited both offer the Jeep brand capability you know and trust. The 4x4 systems empower you to handle the difficult roads ahead.

High-performance wheelbases and precise steering let you navigate like a pro. Intake valves and protection for your electrical connections mean water fording across creeks, streams, and puddles can’t harm your Jeep.

Gain maximum traction with quality suspension that keeps all four wheels on the ground. Skid plates ensure your Jeep vehicle’s key system remains intact even when you put your Jeep to the test. 

With the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, you have the optional Trail Rail™ System to organize smaller equipment. You can also stow gear out of sight under the removable cargo floor. For added security, lock your belongings in the center console or the glove box. 

In the Jeep Gladiator truck, the Trail Rail™ System is comprised of adjustable ties mounted to the front and sides of the truck bed. Make it your own by selecting available Jeep® Performance Parts.

Off-Roading Capability

Stay in the know with your Wrangler Unlimited thanks to the available Off-Road Pages. Check important stats like wheel articulation, transmission temperature, suspension height settings, and drive modes.

The Gladiator features Off-Road+. This system puts the throttle, transmission shifts, and traction controls in your hands with the simple push of a button.

For radical off-roading performance, the Gladiator Rubicon further boasts features like front and rear Tru-Lok® locking differentials and branded FOX shocks. 

Along with that, the Gladiator also has an available forward-facing TrailCam Off-Road Camera that helps you maneuver off-road with gridlines that show you the path forward and help you avoid obstructions. This incredible camera is also self-cleaning so it’s ready for that mud puddle.

Engine Options & Towing Capacity

With the Wrangler, you get to choose between five unique and powerful engines, including:

• 2.0L Turbo Engine with eTorque
• 2.0L Turbo Engine
• 3.0L EcoDiesel Engine
• 3.6L Pentastar® V6 Engine with eTorque
• 3.6L Pentastar® V6 Engine

A maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds means you can still bring smaller sporting equipment and even a lightweight camper for a comfortable camping weekend. The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 Engine has an impressive 285 horsepower and a maximum torque of 260 lb-ft.

In comparison, the Jeep Gladiator comes with the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine. As a midsize truck, it has a maximum towing capacity of 7,650 pounds. Easily secure your boat or camper to elevate your next vacation to a whole new level. 

When it comes down to it, if you’re in need of great towing capacity, the Gladiator provides. However, if you are more interested in engine options, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited lets you choose. 

Traverse with Tech

Both the Gladiator and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited have the available Uconnect® system with voice command capability. Go ahead, answer text messages, change the song, and make phone calls while keeping your hands on the steering wheel. 

Available SiriusXM Guardian™ gives you access to your Jeep, no matter where you are using an intuitive smartphone app. Enjoy safety support, including Roadside Assistance Calls to give you peace of mind as you traverse unknown lands. 

The available Uconnect® 4C NAV with an 8.4-inch touchscreen streamlines every navigation by allowing you to use voice or screen commands to find various necessities along the way. Look up ATMs, rest stops, fuel stations, food joints, and areas of interest. Stay open to possibilities as you drive towards your intended destination.
