If you’re looking for a pickup truck with exceptional off-road capability, the 2021 Jeep Gladiator is a great option. This truck isn’t only one of the best off-roaders in its class – it also offers a comfortable and pleasant ride on the pavement. It comes in eight trim levels to suit the needs and preferences of different buyers: the base Sport, Sport S, Willys, 80th Anniversary, Overland, Mojave, the adventure-ready Rubicon, and the top-of-the-line High Altitude. Take a look at the best features of the 2021 Jeep Gladiator.
Potent Engines
The 2021 Jeep Gladiator gets its power from a gasoline-powered 3.6-liter V-6 that produces 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. In addition, it offers an available engine in the form of a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6 that’s rated at 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. These two engines work with a six-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive, but they can be optionally paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
No matter which engine you choose, you can expect the Gladiator to be more than capable of handling everyday driving tasks such as commuting and merging onto a highway. When it has the right equipment, the truck can tow up to 7,650 pounds, which is quite impressive for a compact truck. Also, it’s able to carry a maximum of 1,700 pounds in its cargo bed.
Outstanding Off-Road Performance
While it delivers a composed ride on the pavement, the Jeep Gladiator shines on off-road trails. This truck is fitted with a solid-axle suspension system that can hold up to a lot of abuse while remaining flexible enough to enable it to move gracefully over bumps, ruts, and rocks at low speeds. All Gladiator models are highly capable off-roaders as they come standard with four-wheel drive, two-speed transfer case, and skid plates. Their high ground clearance and generous approach and departure angles further enhance their ability to conquer parts unknown. They have an impressive maximum wading depth of 30 inches.
If you drive away from the pavement on a frequent basis, you should opt for the Rubicon trim. Specially designed for adventure-loving drivers, this model is equipped with a wide range of additional off-road features, including off-road shock absorbers, electronic sway-bar disconnect, locking front and rear axles, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and rock rails.
Plenty of Passenger Space
Due to its long wheelbase, the 2021 Jeep Gladiator is able to provide a generous amount of space for all of its occupants. Its front seats offer 41.2 inches of legroom and 42.8 inches of headroom, while its rear seats have 38.3 inches of legroom and 42.8 inches of headroom. Both rows of seats are roomy enough to comfortably accommodate even tall adults. Few compact pickup trucks have a more spacious cabin than the Gladiator.
