Overview
The Gladiator is a Wrangler with a truck bed, and that unique combination appeals to a specific buyer who wants trail capability with open-air driving and occasional hauling utility. At $41,825 to start, it's expensive, and the Mojave X / Rubicon X variants push past $64K. The 3.6-liter V6 is adequate but fuel-hungry at 19 MPG.
Key Highlights
- Wrangler-based midsize truck — only convertible pickup available
- Mojave X and Rubicon X for serious off-road use
