In the 2023 Jeep Gladiator, you get the best off-road attributes of the venerable Jeep Wrangler with the added versatility of a small pickup truck. At five feet, the Gladiator’s bed can hold a good deal of equipment. With the tailgate lowered, it can even accommodate dirt bikes or a snowmobile.
For now, Jeep’s 4xe hybrid electric powertrain option remains off-limits to the Gladiator. Still, everything else about the Wrangler, from its numerous removable roof options to its off-road upgrades, is here for the taking.
With four trims (and five additional sub-trims), the Gladiator offers something for everyone and certainly more variety than you’ll find with a Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road, Ford Ranger Raptor, or Chevy Colorado Z71.
2023 Jeep Gladiator Sport: $38,775
Like all Gladiator trims, the Sport comes standard with a 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine. In the case of the Sport, it’s paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and Jeep’s Command-Trac part-time shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive (4WD).
An 8-speed automatic is optional and includes Jeep Selec-Speed, which acts like a low-speed cruise control when driving in low-range 4WD.
Jeep equips the Sport with heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, brakes, and shocks, with skid plates covering the 22-gallon fuel tank and transfer case to ensure its off-road cred is intact.
There’s a Class II trailer hitch, a 7- and 4-pin wiring harness, trailer sway control, plus front and rear tow hooks.
Optional upgrades include a limited-slip rear differential, a cold air intake system, and a 4:10:1 axle ratio.
The Sport features 17-inch steel wheels with 32-inch all-season tires and full steel doors with manual windows and an old-fashioned key-operated door lock. Also standard are fog lights, manual side mirrors, variable wipers, and a full-size spare mounted under the truck bed.
Jeep’s Sunrider soft top features a removable rear window, and you can remove the entire top for true open-air adventuring.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find a push-button starter, manual air conditioning, and manual cloth bucket seats with driver’s side height adjustment and two-way lumbar support. You also get a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with Bluetooth, audio, and cruise controls.
The Gladiator Sport comes standard with an 8-speaker AM/FM radio connected to the Uconnect 4 infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, as do integrated voice control, two USB ports, and an auxiliary audio input jack.
SiriusXM satellite radio is optional.
Safety equipment includes a rear backup camera, electronic traction and stability control, electronic roll mitigation, front seat-mounted side airbags, and hill start assist.
The Sport offers several exterior upgrades. These include half doors with removable plastic windows, the Freedom Top 3-piece hardtop roof, a spray-in bedliner, and hard or soft bed covers.
A mirror-off kit fixes the side mirrors to the body, which is necessary when removing the doors. Also notable: The Sunrider soft top can be attached to the Freedom Top hardtop, creating a manual sliding roof directly above the driver.
The Sport offers a few packages, primarily aimed at towing.
The Trailer Tow Package features heavy-duty engine cooling, a Class IV hitch, and Jeep’s Trailer-Hitch Zoom, which uses the rear camera to project a view over the hitch with 4x zoom capability.
The Max Tow Package adds even more features, such as a limited-slip differential, heavy-duty Dana 44 wide axles, a 4:10:1 rear axle, and heavy-duty brakes. With this package, the Gladiator’s tow rating increases to 6,250 pounds.
With the $1,795 destination charge, the 2023 Jeep Gladiator Sport costs $40,570. On a 60-month loan at 3% financing and zero down, the monthly payment comes to about $729. See 2023 Jeep Gladiator Sport models for sale near you

2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon: $50,995
In the Jeep world, the Rubicon name symbolizes the ultimate in off-road ability. For the Gladiator, that means a beefed-up suspension and drivetrain, as well as more visual upgrades like its dual-vented hood, red tow hooks, and Rubicon decals.
Underneath, you’ll find Tru-Lok electronic locking front and rear differentials, a 4:10:1 rear axle ratio, heavy-duty Dana 44 wide axles, and Jeep’s Rock-Trac part-time 4WD system with a 4:1 low gear ratio.
The Rubicon features an electronic disconnecting front sway bar for greater wheel articulation, Fox 2.0 performance shocks, and 17-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch all-terrain tires.

2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave: $50,995
Looking for a Gladiator with more of a desert vibe? Check out the Mojave. With a little of Overland’s luxury and the Rubicon’s off-road ability, the Mojave touts an integrated hood scoop, 17-inch gloss black wheels, and 33-inch all-terrain tires.
It borrows the heavy-duty Dana 44 wide front and rear axles from the Rubicon and the 4:10:1 rear axle but retains the base model’s Command-Track part-time 4WD.
The Off-Road Plus mode and Fox external reservoir shock absorbers further the Mojave’s off-road credentials. Two-piece high-clearance black fender flares allow for larger tires, while cab rock rails help protect the Gladiator when off-roading.
