Drivers who love adventures on the trails may know Jeep is the one to beat for off-roading. Specifically, the Jeep Gladiator is the truck you should have your eye on. Our guide should clue you in on some of the reasons it’s one of the most impressive vehicles on the market today.
Best-in-Class Features
The Gladiator is unique in many ways. For one, it offers best-in-class towing, payload capacity, diesel torque, and ground clearance. Its maximum gas towing capacity is 7,700 pounds, and its maximum 4×4 payload capacity is 1,710 pounds.
You can expect 442 lb-ft of max diesel torque, and the vehicle gives you a ground clearance of 11.6 inches. That’s a lot of best-in-class features to be blown away by.
Unique Open-Air Experience
The Gladiator is the only open-air pickup truck currently available. You can take the top down and remove the doors if you want to truly experience nature up close. Take pictures with nothing obscuring the view, feel the elements on your skin from all sides, and enjoy being in the open air. You can even fold down the windshield if you just can’t get enough of your surroundings.
Built for Beaten Paths
With hefty 33-inch tires, you can easily roll over any debris in your path. They also give your Gladiator a bold look. Corning Gorilla Glass for your windshield provides extra protection to prevent chips and cracks caused by flying debris when you’re traveling off the road. A steel off-road rear bumper offers additional protection for your vehicle, and rock rails boost the overall sturdiness considerably.
Keep Connected
Despite its rugged-looking exterior, the Gladiator is still equipped with sleek intuitive technology on the inside. Enjoy a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that you can connect eight devices to in a 50-foot radius of your vehicle. Use voice controls to control the Uconnect 4 infotainment system and access helpful apps and services. A vehicle health report and remote vehicle operations are more features you may find useful.
Staying connected to the outside world and monitoring how your vehicle is doing is more important than ever when you’re off traversing beaten paths. They’re also useful features for day-to-day commutes.
Stay Warm and Comfortable
Traverse the trails in comfort thanks to the spacious cabin with supportive seats. If you want to explore the trails in cold weather, then you won’t have an issue, either. A heated steering wheel and heated front seats are available. You can even remotely start your vehicle to make sure gets nice and warm before you get inside.
