Few pickups today offer the versatility and performance that the 2023 Jeep Gladiator does. Its off-road capabilities are second to none, and its engine options deliver the power and efficiency you need to go the extra mile, both on highways and trails. Then there’s its impressive technology, as well as its many cabin comforts, leaving few reasons not to take a closer look at everything else this rugged pickup has to offer.

Engine Performance

The 2023 edition of The Gladiator offers two incredible engines for you to choose from. The first is a 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 that offers quick acceleration with its 260 pound-feet of torque and up to 7,700 pounds of maximum towing strength.

Those looking for more torque alongside greater fuel efficiency will easily find it in the other engine, a 260-horsepower 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. With best-in-class 442 pound-feet of torque, a 6,500-pound tow rating, and an estimated 28 miles per gallon on highways, this engine offers a fuel-efficient option without sacrificing performance.

Off-Road Capabilities

Being a Jeep vehicle, the Gladiator is more than capable of venturing into off-road surroundings with its capable four-wheel-drive system as well as both the forward-facing TrailCam, which can reveal low-lying objects in your path, and the Off-Road+ button, a feature that optimizes the vehicle for rough terrains by enhancing throttling, transmission shifting, and tire-to-surface traction.

There are also plenty of rugged exterior features for the trails, like front and rear tow hooks, heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, and steel skid plates to protect the underside of the truck.

Interior and Technology

As the only open-air pickup truck on the road today, the 2023 Gladiator offers removable tops and doors, as well as a fold-down windshield, and plenty of comforts inside as well. To stay warm on cooler days, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are available, and for easy loading of cargo, the three-passenger seating area in the back folds down to make more room.

As for technology, the available Uconnect 4C NAV puts all of your entertainment, navigation instructions, and vehicle settings on a responsive 8.4-inch touchscreen display, and connecting to the Internet is possible from virtually anywhere within 50 feet of the vehicle, thanks to the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

Smart Safety Monitoring

Keeping an eye out for hazards in front of your vehicle, Forward Collision Warning can notify you if it detects anything, while Active Braking can jump in to stop the vehicle if you’re getting too close to objects, vehicles, or pedestrians.

As for the area behind the vehicle, Rear Cross Path Detection can make reversing out of parking spaces safer by alerting you when vehicles are approaching your rear from either side.

With its rugged versatility off-road, strong performance on highways, and sophisticated tech and comfort features, the 2023 Gladiator lives up to the hype. Come experience this stunning Jeep truck in the flesh today by stopping in and seeing us at Thornton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today.
