2023 Jeep Gladiator Sport S

The Gladiator is Jeep's mid-size pickup, blending Wrangler off-road capability with a 5-foot truck bed. It competes with the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma, but no other mid-size truck offers removable doors and a fold-down windshield. The Gladiator drives like a Wrangler with a bed: solid-axle handling, a busy highway ride, and steering that needs attention. The cabin is functional and durable, with rear seats that fold up to reveal lockable storage bins. The Sport S is the practical choice for buyers who want a capable Gladiator without the Rubicon's rock-crawling hardware. Its 3.6L V6 makes 285 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed manual, giving you a responsive powertrain that returns 19 mpg combined. The standard Command-Trac part-time 4x4 system with a two-speed transfer case handles trails well, though the ride is firm on pavement.
