Designed to perform on nearly any terrain, the 2020 Jeep_® Gladiator is the most off-road-capable mid-size pickup truck ever¹, allowing you to leave the paved road in your rearview mirror.

The Gladiator earns this accolade through its repertoire of high-quality equipment that maximizes the functionality of its standard, rugged 4×4 systems. In fact, the Gladiator’s exceptional off-road ability enabled it to also become the only pickup to ever earn the Trail Rated_® badge, which is given to vehicles that successfully complete a series of grueling tests over the most difficult terrain to prove their off-road acumen. Here’s how the Gladiator’s equipment works tirelessly to earn these prestigious honors and give you the freedom to explore the unknown.

Superior off-road ability requires a tailor-made engine under the hood. To satisfy this necessity, the 2020 Gladiator is equipped with the proven 3.6-liter Pentastar_® V-6 engine that packs the punch you need to withstand tough surfaces:

285 horsepower
Up to 260 pounds-feet of torque
Up to 7,650 pounds of towing capacity²

The engine also utilizes stop-start technology to maximize its efficiency. As a result, it has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 16/23 city/highway mpg.³

Undercarriage Features Empower Unsurpassed Maneuverability and Advanced Protection

Traction and suspension articulation are other vital components for successful off-roading, and the 2020 Jeep_® Gladiator delivers unmatched performance through a variety of features:

The Rock-Trac_® 4×4 system, with a 4:1 low-gear ratio, is designed to enhance your control of the 2020 Gladiator and generate massive torque to its wheels to conquer steep inclines or any obstacles in your way.
An electronic disconnecting sway bar helps keep you moving through aggressively uneven terrain by helping to keep all four wheels in contact with the ground.¹
Fox aluminum-bodied shocks provide predictable off-road handling to help you navigate through harsh conditions.

Additionally, the Gladiator crafts innovative measures for off-road protection and durability so you can confidently take on the road less traveled. These include steel rock rails to armor both the cab sills and pickup bed, high-strength steel skid plates to avoid damage to the fuel tank and transfer case, and extra-thick tubes and forgings to strengthen the standard heavy-duty Dana_® 44 axles.

Technology Puts Drivability Enhancements at Your Fingertips

Finally, the Jeep_® Gladiator comes with handy high-tech systems that modernize the off-roading experience when you need some assistance:

Front and rear Tru-Lok_® electronic locking differentials can help keep the Gladiator moving forward even when three out of four wheels lose traction.
An available TrailCam Off-Road Camera displays gridlines on the path ahead to guide you in steering through obstacles and difficult terrain.

And to counteract the inevitable dirtiness that off-roading produces, the TrailCam includes an integrated washer that lets you clear dirt or mud from the lens by simply pressing a dashboard button.
