The 2024 model of the Jeep Gladiator has been released with a series of enhancements that augment both its off-road capabilities and overall value. The midsize pickup, geared for off-road experiences, was revealed at the 2023 Detroit Auto Show this past Wednesday.
This year’s model comes with newly introduced Mojave X and Rubicon X variants, which are extensions of the already competent Mojave and Rubicon grades. These new options come equipped with an off-road-focused camera, robust steel bumpers, and front seats lined with leather that have 12-way power adjustment; these seats are designed to be safe for water fording. The other grades available in the 2024 model range include the Sport and Willys variants.

Overview of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator
Every 2024 Gladiator model will feature a redesigned grille, a windshield that incorporates an antenna, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, and the inclusion of side-curtain airbags for both the first and second rows as standard features. For those enthusiastic about off-road adventures, Jeep has included a Trails Offroad feature in the infotainment system, offering guides for 62 different trails. A subscription package will provide access to an additional 3,000 trail guides.
The vehicle is engineered for off-road driving and includes options like a foldable windshield, a choice among three different roof styles, and two sets of doors—with the flexibility to remove them. Additionally, four distinct four-wheel-drive systems are available. The 2024 model expands its capabilities by adding a rear locking differential and an Off-Road Plus drive mode in the Willys grade, enhancing its off-road prowess.
Powertrain and Capability
With the discontinuation of the diesel engine option in the 2023 Rubicon FarOut Edition, the sole available powertrain for the 2024 Gladiator is a 3.6-liter V-6 engine. This engine produces 285 horsepower and is available with either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic transmission. Jeep specifies that the vehicle has a maximum payload capacity of 1,725 pounds and a towing limit of 7,700 pounds.
For prospective buyers with a preference for eco-friendly options, a plug-in hybrid variant, named Gladiator 4xe, is anticipated to be part of the 2024 lineup.
Orders for the 2024 Jeep Gladiator are currently being accepted, with the initial units expected to arrive at dealerships by the close of this year. Pricing details have not yet been disclosed.
Manufacturing of the vehicle is conducted at the Stellantis facility located in Toledo, Ohio, which is also responsible for producing the closely related Wrangler SUV.

Need price info ASAP! New features like camera & airbags are cool, but how much will it cost?
That 12.3-inch screen has my attention. Infotainment upgrades FTW!
No more diesel? Bummer! But that V6 still packs a punch, can’t wait for the 4xe hybrid!
Toledo, Ohio, represent! Glad to see it’s made in the USA, just like the Wrangler.
