Jeep Gladiator review

It’s hard to imagine how owning a Gladiator – if you appreciate the way it looks – could be anything other than a daily pleasure. Apart from its adventure-ready promise making you think about new places to explore it should be an enduring and relatively inexpensive truck to own and operate.

Using a majority of Wrangler parts – and some RAM truck suspension bits at the back – the Gladiator is built out of readily available components so servicing and repairs will not be an issue. Likewise, customizing your Gladiator will not be hard. MOPAR already has more than 200 Jeep performance parts and accessories for the new pick-up including lights, covers, rails and lift kits. So you’ll be able to tune yours to your exact needs and tastes – and get them covered by the factory warranty.

The pick-up bed’s max load of 1,600lb isn’t huge but is more than ample for carrying a couple of dirt bikes, a side by side or a stack of snowboards. Similarly, the towing capacity isn’t huge. But you can still tow a good size boat or horse trailer with 7,650lb to play with. So it’s got you covered for pretty much whichever outdoor pursuit you aim your imagination at.
