The 2023 Jeep Gladiator blends rugged styling and convenient functionalities with a range of safety in-car technologies for exceptional driving performance.
A 137.3-inch wheelbase guarantees stability for the Gladiator at high speeds in snowy conditions, which makes it less susceptible to skidding out of control. Additional tire weight makes it heavier than other pickup trucks in its class. It improves traction on icy roads and slippery inclines.
Under the Hood
Gladiator offers 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged diesel engine options. The 3.6-liter V6 engine is paired with a standard six-speed transmission that kicks out 285 hp and 250 Ib-ft of torque.
Alternatively, the 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which churns out 250 hp and 442 Ib-ft of torque.
An 11.1-inch ground clearance allows the vehicle to drive comfortably without getting stuck in deep snow or damaging its undercarriage.
Comfort and Convenience
Base models carry a 7-inch infotainment screen, premium sound system with eight speakers, satellite radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and three USB ports.
An available Cold Weather Protection package offers heated front seats, a warmed-up steering wheel and personalized temperature controls for front passengers to remain cozy and comfortable.
All variants accommodate five passengers and come with a five-foot stiffened steel cargo bed for winter gear and supplies. Four strong adjustable tie-down loops ensure essentials remain intact as the Gladiator rides on hard snow or uneven terrain.
Full-steel doors provide all-around occupant protection with low window ledges offering an expansive view for outdoor adventurers.
Safety
Engineers have fortified the 2023 Gladiator with a steel chassis that deflects collision impact energy from the cabin. Over 80 advanced technologies are available on this mid-sized truck for driving safely in winter weather.
Features include:
- Blind-Spot Monitoring (detects vehicles outside the field of vision)
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Rear-Cross Path Detection (warns of vehicles crossing path while in reverse)
- Rear Park Assist System (parking precision in low visibility weather)
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking (averts collisions with stationary or slow-moving vehicles)
