With the recent reintroduction of the Gladiator to the Jeep inventory, truck drivers have been eager to get behind the wheel. By applying the athleticism and excitement the Jeep brand is known for to a pickup truck, Jeep has welcomed a whole new audience to its showroom.
As the newest model debuts on our Burlington, Greensboro, and Durham, North Carolina, roads, it is understandable to be curious about what is in store. Allow our team at Cox Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) to lay out all that you want to know in a 2024 Jeep Gladiator review.
Before we get into everything new in the 2024 Jeep Gladiator, let’s break down the basics with this truck model. The Jeep Gladiator was reintroduced to the Jeep lineup in 2019 and has continued to raise the bar ever since, from performance to technology.
The Gladiator shares a similar appearance to the iconic Wrangler model. Both models are designed with off-roading in mind, which is evident in their ground clearance and boxy figure. You can even connect with your surroundings by going roofless and doorless. The key difference between the two? The Gladiator takes this design and applies it to a truck model.
Regarding the Jeep Gladiator, your driving options are broadened when behind the wheel. The Gladiator is designed to take on rough terrain. This is a result of the design centered around a five-link coil suspension. The mechanical build from there paired with the up to 11.6-inch ground clearance gives you control of your ride on the road and rough terrain.
With the maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds and payload of 1,725 pounds, you can tow your bass boat out to Lake Mackintosh with all the packed goods you would like to get you through the day.
Perhaps the biggest changes to the 2024 Gladiator model come from the exciting standard technology and safety features. First, each Gladiator trim introduces a 12.3-inch touchscreen radio standard to the cabin. This touchscreen includes Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so navigation, communication, and audio are as custom as your cellphone.
Safety is a priority in designing an adventurous vehicle, so the available Jeep Adventure Guide featuring Trails Offroad is a great option for those who enjoy taking on rough terrain. The Trails Offroad has over 3,000 off-road trails saved and sectioned by difficulty. This makes adventure off the road exciting and accessible to any level of driver.
From the Sport S trim up, advanced cruise control and forward collision warning are now standard among the base safety features. The Willys trim and up also come standard with Offroad+, which shifts your vehicle into off-roading mode with a button.
