Jeep Gladiator 2020– car dimensions: 5539 mm long, 1875 mm wide and 1907 mm high. Unladen weight is 2,119 kg. Braked towing is 3,470 kg.
Base models get a 5-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth. Higher grades add 7- or 8.4-inch Uconnect screens that bring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Single-zone manual climate is standard. dual-zone automatic appears on mid and upper trims or packages. Cruise control is standard. The reversing camera with gridlines is standard across the range. Blind-spot warning, rear parking sensors and forward collision warning with active braking sit in optional safety groups on most grades. Lane keep assist is not offered.
The five-foot steel bed measures 35.5 cubic feet or 1.0 cubic metre. Small lockable storage is available behind and under the rear seats. A three-position tailgate and available spray-in liner or rail tie-downs add everyday practicality.
Braked towing reaches 7,650 lb or about 3,470 kg on Sport models with the Max Tow package, 4.10 axle and automatic. Other grades top out lower, from 4,000 lb upward depending on transmission and hitch. Payload peaks near 1,600 lb or 726 kg on lighter Sport manuals. A Class II hitch and trailer wiring are standard. Class IV and heavy-duty cooling come in tow packages.
Trailer sway control is standard. The bed and frame suit mixed work and trail duty, with available auxiliary switches and power outlets for tools or camping gear.
The cabin is upright and Wrangler-like with supportive contoured seats that have adjustable bolsters and lumbar. Rear legroom stands out for the class. Soft or hard tops remove for open-air driving, and the wash-out floor with drain plugs handles mud. Storage sits under and behind the rear seats. Heated front seats and wheel come on higher packages. Dual-zone climate is available. It feels durable and ready for trail use more than luxury lounging.

The 3.6-liter V6 takes regular 87-octane unleaded. Fuel economy sits near 17 mpg city, 22 highway and 19 combined on EPA figures, with a 22-gallon tank. An EcoDiesel option arrived later in the generation.
Service follows an oil-life indicator rather than a fixed mileage sticker. Expect oil and filter changes based on driving, often up to around 10,000 miles under light use. The first two years cover complimentary oil changes and tire rotations at the dealer. Synthetic 0W-20 is specified.
Crash testing is incomplete. NHTSA gives 4 stars frontal and 3 stars rollover. side remains unrated and there is no overall score. IIHS did not fully rate the early models. Standard kit includes multistage front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, electronic stability control with roll mitigation, ABS, hill-start assist, trailer-sway control, tire-pressure monitoring and a rear backup camera. Packages add blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path, park assist, forward collision warning with mitigation and adaptive cruise. More than 80 standard and available safety items are listed.
Living with the Gladiator means a removable-top, washable cabin that shrugs off dirt. Keep the oil monitor reset after service and watch tire pressures for off-road air-downs. Body panels and frame use high-strength steel with aluminum pieces for weight savings. Regular checks on 4x4 components and brakes suit its trail and tow duties.
