Jeep Gladiator Receives a Facelift for 2024

Like the 2024 Jeep Wrangler, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is receiving a refresh facelift. With a new shortened grill and a few upgraded interior features, there’s a lot to like in the rugged, convertible, off-road truck. While the 2024 Jeep Gladiator engine remains the same, spy shots reveal that the new features give the attractive and versatile truck a fresh new look in its fifth year. With a release date expected at the beginning of 2024, now is the time to reserve your new Gladiator at Crown CDJR of Dublin in Dublin, OH.

Powertrain Choices for the Convertible Jeep Truck

The Wrangler and Gladiator share similar powertrains and rumor has it that the 2024 Gladiator could be available with the Wrangler 4xe plug-hybrid gas engine with an electric motor. This powertrain delivers 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

Until this happens, the Jeep Gladiator spec will include the 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. The Pentastar engine delivers 285 horsepower, while the turbodiesel has 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. The Pentastar comes standard with a six-speed manual and both models have the available eight-speed automatic. The Gladiator comes with four-wheel drive.

The EPA-estimated fuel rating in the Pentastar engine with a manual transmission is 16/23 MPG while the models with an automatic transmission get an EPA-estimated 17/22 MPG. The diesel V6 gets an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 22/28 MPG.

New Tech and Safety Features

If the 2024 Gladiator is outfitted like the new Wrangler models, the infotainment system will have a new look. Along with the redesigned grill, the siblings will have a 12.3-inch infotainment screen outfitted with the newest Uconnect 5 software with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, voice recognition, two USB ports, and an eight-speaker audio system on all trims.

All Gladiator models come with a standard rearview camera, and various trims have package options with additional driver-assistive technology. Available technology includes Forward Collision Warning, Forward Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward-Facing Off-Road Camera, Automatic High-Beam Headlights, and Rear Parking Sensors.

Styling Features and Trim Levels

The 2024 Jeep Gladiator interior features depend on the trim level. The entry-level Sport trim comes standard with cloth upholstery, a soft top, and 17-inch steel wheels. The new models will have standard ambient interior lighting and the new dash moves the vents. Optional features on the entry-level trim include a three-piece hardtop, rock rails, a tonneau cover, a spray-in bedliner, and leather upholstery.

The Willys Sport comes outfitted for off-roading with 33-inch mud-terrain tires, rock rails, and a rear limited-slip differential. The Sport S and Willys have automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, two more USB ports, a 120-volt household outlet, LED headlights and foglights, and a removable Bluetooth speaker.

The Gladiator Freedom is the first trim with standard leather upholstery, while the Overland, Rubicon, and Mojave up the standard features with more luxury while maintaining an off-road style. The top trim is the High Altitude model which comes with leather upholstery, a hardtop, side steps, and 20-inch wheels.

The 2024 Wrangler Rubicon will come with a standard Warn winch built into the steel bumper, and the Gladiator Rubicon should be outfitted similarly.

Off-Road and Towing Capability

Depending on the pickup truck trim and configurations, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator towing capacity is 4,000 to 7,700 pounds. The payload capacity in the 5-foot bed is between 1,075 and 1,710, again, depending on the configuration.

The Gladiator is a convenient and versatile truck that can handle off-roading with ease. The compact pickup truck has a longer wheelbase than its Wrangler sibling. Despite the longer wheelbase, it has a similar body-on-frame design with front and rear solid axles. Like the Wrangle, the Gladiator has a removable top and doors, making it the only convertible truck on the market.
