Both the new Jeep Wrangler and the new Jeep Gladiator are one-of-a-kind vehicles that can easily outmatch their competition on Council Bluffs roads. However, if you’re in the market for an off-road vehicle you may be wondering whether the Gladiator or the Wrangler is the better fit for you. Read along with Edwards Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT as we compare the Jeep Gladiator vs. Jeep Wrangler in performance, towing ability, and off-road prowess to see which is the best fit for your next outdoor adventure.

Gladiator vs. Wrangler: Towing

The first thing you should determine when considering the Jeep Gladiator vs. Wrangler is whether or not you’ll benefit from the Gladiator model’s pickup bed dimensions and increased towing capacity. When properly equipped, the Jeep Gladiator can pull up to 7,650 pounds. With an additional payload capacity of 1,600 pounds, the Gladiator is a great choice if you need to haul a lot of cargo with you on your next trip.

The Gladiator also comes with towing features like backup cameras and the Trail Rail™ storage system that makes towing off-road and storing supplies easier than ever before. While the Wrangler towing capacity is only 3,500 pounds, that’s more than enough for most Omaha drivers who are only bringing a trailer’s worth of supplies. One thing is for sure–– Jeep owners get work done. If you’re planning on bringing a lot of equipment with you to your next job site, consider hauling it using the all new Jeep Gladiator.

Gladiator vs. Wrangler: Performance

The towing capacity and capability of the Jeep Gladiator vs. Wrangler come down to their engine performance. Both the Jeep Gladiator and Jeep Wrangler configurations come with a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that’s great for your off-road adventure or your Bellevue commute. As of 2020, the Jeep Gladiator only comes with the 3.6L engine option, while the Jeep Wrangler has four additional engine options, including two diesel options. Drivers who are looking to get the most out of their adventure may benefit from the increased off-road capability and performance offered by the Wrangler engine options.

Gladiator vs. Wrangler: Off-Road Prowess

The Jeep Wrangler has a reputation for its superior off-road capabilities, and for years it has outmatched its competition in capability – even among its Jeep counterparts. However, in 2020, the Gladiator came to the stage claiming to have the same off-road capabilities as the Wrangler with the additional performance of a pickup. Both vehicles come with the legendary Jeep 4×4 system that makes Jeep the preferred brand for off-road enthusiasts, but the Wrangler offers more 4×4 options for La Vista drivers. Those who seek better cargo storage capability for their off-road adventures will find that the Jeep Gladiator offers a 60.3 inch long by 56.8 inch wide truck bed. Drivers who are looking to go off road on rougher terrain will find that the Jeep Wrangler 4×4 systems offer more versatility than the Gladiator.

Jeep Gladiator 4×4 Options:

  • 4:1 Rock-Trac® Heavy-Duty Part Time 4WD System
  • Command-Trac® Part-Time 4WD System

Jeep Wrangler 4×4 Options:

  • Selec-Trac® 4×4
  • Command Trac® 4×4
  • Rock-Trac® 4×4

Along with their 4×4 systems, the Jeep Gladiator and the Jeep Wrangler configurations come with the Trail Rated® badge. This badge signifies that these Jeep vehicles have passed grueling tests in five categories: Traction, Water Fording, Maneuverability, Articulation, and Ground Clearance.

In the spring of 2020, the Jeep Gladiator set itself apart from the Wrangler in 2020 with a special Desert Rated® configuration. The Jeep Gladiator Mojave is the only Desert Rated® Jeep on the market. Tested for traction, desert prowess, ride control and stability, maneuverability, and ground clearance, the Jeep Gladiator Mojave promises to flourish in the driest and most unforgiving environments. If your adventure takes you out into the desert wilderness, then the Gladiator Mojave is the option for you. Maybe you just want a dependable truck for cruising through the city streets? From San Fransisco Jeep clubs to Raleigh Jeep Dealerships, you will find that the Jeep Gladiator is beloved by many. So what are you waiting on?
