2022 Jeep Gladiator review

1. Stylish and practical

If you're after a striking pickup that's as practical as it is stylish, the 2022 Jeep Gladiator is one to watch. With a range of trims to help you find the Gladiator that suits you, there's everything from the high-end luxury to the rugged off-roader. Look to the High Altitude trim for stylish details such as body-colored fender flares, Nappa leather-trimmed seats, and 20-inch gloss black wheels.

2. Powerhouse engine options

With two engine options to choose from, you can find the 2022 Jeep Gladiator that suits you. The standard 3.6L Pentastar^® V6 engine offers 285 horsepower while the optional turbocharged 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 has 260 hp and a whopping 442 lb-ft of torque. If towing is important to you, the 3.6L V6 with the eight-speed transmission and the Max Tow Package has an estimated towing capacity of 7,650 lbs when properly equipped.

3. Modular options

Not only does the 2022 Gladiator have unique Jeep styling in a truck package, but it gives you the option to become one with the elements. There's a standard soft top or an available hard top but you can also remove the doors and fold down the windshield for even more flexibility. Remove the carpet, and the washable floor also means you can get as muddy as you want during a weekend away and still have a clean car ready for work on Monday morning.

4. Off-road ready

A 2022 Jeep Gladiator review wouldn't be complete without a run-down of its off-road credentials, beyond the standard 4WD. When equipped with an automatic transmission, you'll get Selec-Speed control for slowly traversing tricky terrain, which means you can focus on putting your wheels where they need to be while your Jeep controls your speed. On Rubicon models, you can combine this with front and rear locking differentials for additional control. Available features such as a forward-facing trail cam and off-road pages showing real-time data give you even more visibility during your time on the trail.

5. Plenty of passenger practicality

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator isn't just practical when it comes to heading off the beaten path. Inside, you'll find plenty of thoughtful touches to make life easier for you and your passengers. There's standard storage behind the rear seats that can be locked and unlocked with the vehicle's key — especially handy if you want to leave the roof and doors off while you grab lunch at the beach. In addition to the truck bed, you'll also find additional bins and storage options inside the Gladiator, including a two-tiered main console that's large enough to fit phones and tablets.
