2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

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 Rubicon is the off-road specialist of the Gladiator range, with locking differentials and a sway-bar disconnect that the Overland leaves out. Its 3.6L V6 makes 285 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed manual and four-wheel drive, giving you the gearing to crawl rocks at idle. The electronic front sway-bar disconnect lets each wheel move independently over obstacles, which you'll notice the first time you hit a trail.
