2022 Jeep Gladiator

Jeep hasn't changed much of the already stellar Gladiator design for 2022. The Sport S is the ideal trim level for exterior options. Upgrades include all-terrain tires and an anti-spin rear differential for off-roading. Consider adding the side step assists to make entry and exit a bit easier.

Trailblazers will love the Gladiator's off-road package, which includes rock-crawling axle ratios, several skid plates, and the ability to tread around 30 inches of water. Conquer the roughest terrain with a soaring ride height, wide approach angles, and copious ground clearance. Keep the three-piece hardtop closed on rainy days or open it up and let in the sunshine. Other trims include the Sport, Willys Sport, Altitude, Willys, Overland, Mojave, High Altitude, and Rubicon.

The Gladiator uses a 285 horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 gasoline engine that produces 260 pound-feet of torque. It's fitted to a six-speed manual transmission, although an eight-speed automatic is available. Opt for the 3.0-liter diesel and get 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet torque. Four-wheel-drive is standard for all 2022 Gladiators trims.

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator can accelerate quickly, also, when properly equipped, its maximum towing capacity is an impressive 7,650 pounds. If you're looking to load up the bed, you'll be able to haul up to 1,700 pounds of payload.

The standard manual transmission Gladiator received an EPA fuel economy estimate of 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. The automatic transmission produces 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. The diesel gets a rating of 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, making it the most fuel-efficient of the trio.

The Gladiator boasts a modern upright dash with easy-to-reach controls and an 8.4-inch touch-screen display. Jeep made the Gladiator's interior just as heavy-duty as its exterior by including a waterproof push-to-start system and tough plastic paneling. The Gladiator's durability won't detract from its luxurious feel. Its heated steering wheel, heated seats, and ample legroom will make you excited to hop in.

The Gladiator comes equipped with unique interior storage designs. The cabin has several pockets to place a smart device or wallet and various hidden compartments to keep emergency roadside kits or snacks. The seats can be stowed away and securely locked down when the smooth asphalt turns to rough dirt and rocks.

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator offers a variety of driver-assistance features, including a front-facing camera. Its rear-parking sensors make parallel parking in the city quick and easy, and its forward collision detection uses active braking technology to reduce the risk of a collision. Other safety features include blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.
