Eddy's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
Drivers ask a lot from a pickup, hauling gear to a job site on Tuesday and heading for the dirt by Saturday. Our Jeep Gladiator review at Eddy's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) breaks down the specs that set this midsize truck apart, with real numbers on capability and cabin tech.
Shoppers around Wichita, Derby, and Newton, Kansas, can use this guide to see how the Jeep Gladiator handles the way they work and play.
Every Gladiator runs on a 3.6-liter V-6 rated at 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission handles every shift, keeping power delivery smooth on I-135 merges and steady on gravel county roads outside Newton.
When properly equipped, the Gladiator tows up to 7,700 pounds and carries up to 1,720 pounds of payload. A camper headed for Cheney State Park stays well within reach. Bed dimensions back it up:
Those extra 21 inches with the tailgate down give longer cargo like lumber or kayaks plenty of room to ride.
Every Jeep Gladiator wears the Trail Rated® badge, earned through Jeep off-road testing. Four advanced 4x4 systems are available across the lineup: Command-Trac®, part-time Rock-Trac®, full-time Rock-Trac®, and Selec-Trac®, with availability varying by configuration. Pair the right system with a maximum crawl ratio up to 77:1 for controlled climbs over rocky ledges.
The available TrailCam Off-Road Camera puts obstacles ahead right on the screen, while Off-Road+ adjusts throttle response and shift points, along with traction control, for slow rock crawls or quick sand passes.
Up front, passengers get 41.2 inches of legroom and up to 42.8 inches of headroom with the soft top. Rear riders enjoy 38.3 inches of legroom and 55.7 inches of shoulder room, so a full crew rides comfortably.
The Gladiator also claims the largest standard touchscreen in its class at 12.3 inches, plus the most USB ports in its class with four USB and three USB-C ports. The available Uconnect® 5 NAV system adds segment-exclusive Integrated Off-Road Trail Guides featuring many Jeep Badge of Honor® routes.
Over 85 standard and available safety and security features help protect everyone aboard.
The Jeep Gladiator comes in five trims:
Our team can compare each trim during your visit.
Absolutely. The Gladiator offers removable doors and a segment-exclusive fold-down windshield. Choose an available three-piece removable hardtop or a premium soft top, and lake days at El Dorado get a lot breezier.
