If your idea of a good time is exploring the trails in the national forest, paddling your way down the river, and packing up for weekend adventures near and far, then you’ll want a truck suited for all types of activities.

Enter the 2024 Jeep Gladiator and 2024 Honda Ridgeline. Both trucks are built with versatile capabilities for all types of travel around Greensboro, Durham, and Burlington, North Carolina.

To help you choose which truck is best suited for you, our Cox Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) team gives you a side-by-side look at the capabilities and features of the Jeep Gladiator vs Honda Ridgeline below.

Gladiator vs Ridgeline: How Much Can They Tow and Haul?

The first key component to look at is the amount that each of these pickups can tow. With the Honda Ridgeline, its 280-horsepower V6 engine helps it pull along up to 5,000 pounds. If you have even heavier equipment, like your family camper, the Jeep Gladiator is ready to safely tow it.

That is because it comes powered by an even more robust 285-horsepower V6 engine that helps it achieve a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds. While both trucks also have a backup camera, the Gladiator offers the available 4X trailer hitch zoom that lets you get an up-close view to directly line up your truck to your trailer.

Then, in the bed of your Jeep Gladiator, you can fit everything—from supplies for a weekend tailgate party to your ATV—with its payload capacity of 1,725 pounds. The Ridgeline offers a payload capacity of up to 1,583 pounds.

Off-Road Capabilities of the Jeep Gladiator vs Honda Ridgeline

Whether you will be heading along the sandy shores of the Atlantic coastline for some fishing and sunshine or you are spending the weekend in the forest finding new hiking and biking trails, you’ll want a truck ready to get you the best spots.

That is where the off-roading capabilities come into play. Drive over muddy tracks, through water crossings, and along the loose sand in the Gladiator, thanks to its 4×4 capabilities and overall design.

Everything—from its suspension to the geometry of its build—is designed to give it great traction and control over gravel, tree roots, and any other terrain you come across. It has shocks for damping control to give you a more comfortable ride, while an available TrailCam Off-Road Camera lets you safely scan your path ahead.

While the Ridgeline does have AWD capabilities, compared to the Gladiator, it has fewer systems and features available when it comes to off-road performance.

Enjoy a Spacious and Comforting Ride Inside the Cabin

We also know not all your destinations will be the trailhead or scenic spots. Sometimes you just need to get to the grocery store to get party supplies, or you may be picking up items at the department store or heading out to grab a bite to eat.

This is where the space and features you’ll have in the cabin come in handy. The Ridgeline offers a cozy ride with 40.1 inches of headroom and 40.9 inches of legroom in the front row. The Jeep Gladiator comes with even more space for you to enjoy with 42.8 inches of headroom and 41.2 inches of legroom up front.

Each truck offers a temperature-control system, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel for more comfort. With the available Amazon Alexa Skill, you can prep for your drive before getting into your Gladiator. Just ask Alexa how much fuel is left in the tank, send directions to the navigation system, and start up the engine all while you continue to get ready.
