2025 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

The 2025 Gladiator is Jeep's midsize pickup, blending Wrangler-style off-road ability with a five-foot bed for weekend hauling. It competes with the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Chevrolet Colorado, but none match its factory rock-crawling hardware. On pavement the Gladiator steers with more precision than a Wrangler, though the ride is firm and the truck wanders a bit at highway speeds. The cabin is straightforward and durable, with available touchscreen infotainment, but rear-seat space is tight for a crew cab. The Rubicon skips the Mojave's high-speed desert tuning for the most serious rock-crawling hardware Jeep offers, including locking front and rear axles and a disconnecting front stabilizer bar. The 3.6L V6 makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, routed through the eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive that lets you walk over terrain most trucks can't handle. The Rock-Trac transfer case's 4:1 low range and 33-inch all-terrain tires mean you'll climb ledges and crawl over boulders straight from the factory floor.
