2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

The Gladiator is Jeep's midsize pickup, blending Wrangler off-road ability with a usable truck bed. It competes with the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Chevrolet Colorado, but none match its trail capability. On pavement the Gladiator feels truck-like, but off-road it shines with solid axles and available lockers. The cabin is practical and straightforward, with easy-to-clean surfaces and a fold-flat front passenger seat. The Rubicon is the off-road specialist of the Gladiator lineup, with locking differentials and a disconnecting sway bar that the Overland doesn't get. Its 3.0L V6 makes 260 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, and it returns 19 mpg combined. The front stabilizer bar disconnects at the push of a button, letting the suspension flex more than any other midsize truck can.
