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

The Rubicon trims in both the Wrangler SUV and the Gladiator pickup go even farther when it comes to major league off-road performance.
