A comprehensive overview

The new Jeep Wrangler and the Gladiator both come with the same standard 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine that you can count on for 285 horsepower. While the Wrangler manages its power with a standard six-speed manual transmission, the Gladiator operates with an eight-speed automatic. The Wrangler is the ultimate off-road adventure machine while the  new Jeep Gladiator is a great solution if you want the same kind of off-road capability in a pickup.

A deeper dive into engines and performance

In addition to the 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6, the Wrangler also offers two other engine choices. One is a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter turbo inline turbo-four-cylinder engine and the other is a muscular 6.4-liter HEMI® V8. Because the Gladiator is a pickup, it has a higher maximum towing capacity of 7700 pounds compared with a maximum of 5000 pounds in the Jeep Wrangler. Meanwhile, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 has a maximum towing capacity of 3500 pounds.

A comparison of off-road capability

Both the Wrangler and the Gladiator are equipped with a capable 4x4 drivetrain that delivers improved traction and is a key to providing that renowned Jeep off-road capability. The Command-Trac® part-time four-wheel drive system is a standard feature on each model. Tru-Lok® electronic locking differentials are available on select Gladiator and Wrangler trims for better handling on rugged terrain.

The Rubicon trims in both the Wrangler SUV and the Gladiator pickup go even farther when it comes to major league off-road performance. Both offer outstanding features that include electronic sway bar disconnect, front and rear lockers, as well as a heavy-duty full float rear axle. Jeep offers the Rock-Trac® heavy-duty part-time 4x4 system as an available upgrade on Rubicon trims for both models, combining a 4:1 low gear ratio that's designed for low speed rock crawling.

A comparison of interior highlights

Both Jeep models come with standard cloth seat upholstery on most trims. Nappa leather seat upholstery is available on higher-end trims for both vehicles and both offer heated front seats with eight-way power lumbar support. Both the Wrangler and the Gladiator come with a standard 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 infotainment system, and offer a Uconnect Nav system on higher trim levels. What's more, both Jeep models offer an available Alpine® premium audio system with nine speakers.
