The Jeep Gladiator was designed with outdoor enthusiasts in mind. Its list of key features includes a best-in-class towing capacity of 7,700 pounds and an impressive ground clearance.
Towing Capacity
A major talking point for the Gladiator is its towing capacity, which is higher than that of the Wrangler. There are plenty of trim levels and add-ons for the Gladiator that will change the end result. When properly equipped for towing, the Gladiator reaches an impressive towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. If you choose every option to get the weakest Gladiator possible, it still has the capacity to tow 4,000 pounds.
For comparison’s sake, the Jeep Wrangler can tow up to 3,500 pounds. The Gladiator has the best-in-class maximum towing capacity. If you want to load up the ample cargo space, the Gladiator has a payload capacity of 1,700 pounds. This is also a best-in-class rating, proving that the Gladiator is the ideal car for people with lots to carry.
11.6″ Ground Clearance
This vehicle was built to handle trails. It has an impressive ground clearance of 11.6 inches with off-road equipment like skid plates and the option for 33-inch tires. If you’re looking to crawl over rocks or clear waterways, the Gladiator is a great vehicle to handle those adventures.
Door and Roof Options
Every trip is different, and the Gladiator accounts for that. You have the option to get half-doors to provide a more open experience. The standard full-size doors are also fully removable.
Additionally, Jeep offers the Sunrider for Hardtop. This option gives you a three-piece hardtop roof that quickly opens up. With the doors removed and the hardtop pulled back, you have a uniquely open ride that’s perfect for driving on trails.
Cargo Space
The cargo area in the back of the Gladiator is designed to provide you with options for the needs of your trip. The tailgate has three positions, so you can bring along boxes, sheet cargo, or fully flat items that need more space. It’s deep enough to comfortably put the tailgate down, roll out a sleeping bag, and camp in the back.
Jeep has designed add-ons for people who want to protect their gear with available roll-up tonneau bed covers. These lock into position. They also have available the Trail Rail Cargo Management System, which comes with tie-downs and cargo baskets designed for the space. This makes large payloads easy to organize when you’re driving over rugged terrain.
