TRACTION

Traction is key when off-roading so that every wheel works to drive the truck forward. Jeep® Brand 4x4 systems help to ensure the right tire has traction when it’s needed.

WATER FORDING

The Trail Rated® Jeep® Gladiator features a high air intake and special water sealing to help get you through creeks, streams and depths of up to 30 inches.

MANEUVERABILITY

Thanks to precision steering and optimized wheelbases, the Gladiator can swiftly veer around narrow gaps and maneuver around rocks, logs or tights spots.

ARTICULATION

Higher levels of articulation help keep all four tires on the ground to help ensure they remain stable and engaged.

GROUND CLEARANCE

Rubicon models getup to 11.1-inches of ground clearance between the underside of the truck and the terrain so you can drive over obstacles with confidence.

CAPABILITY ELEVATED
,
Gladiator Rubicon is made for rocky terrain thanks to a collection of equipment and features that take legendary Jeep® Brand 4x4 capability to new levels.

TAKE CONTROL

Gladiator Rubicon offers two impressive ways to maximize your drive. The standard front and rear Tru-Lok® Electronic Locking Differentials offer incredible power delivery to the wheels to help maintain momentum on tough terrain with maximum traction. New for 2021, the rear axle can now be locked in 4HI Mode for use at higher speeds or on the dunes.

THE ART OF ARTICULATION

Engaging the Segment-Exclusive sway bar disconnect results in a 30% increase in front wheel articulation.

TURN UP THE TORQUE

The Rock-Trac® transfer case with 4:1 low range delivers up to an 84:1 crawl ratio, with massive torque to the wheels of Gladiator Rubicon. It’s tailor-made for traversing steep inclines or crawling over trail obstacles, giving you even more control on tough terrain.

READY FOR THE ROCKS

Help protect the sill of your cab with wheel-to-wheel steel rock rails. Plus, steel rock rails behind the rear wheels help to guard the box so you can traverse aggressive terrain without worry.

SHOCK VALUE

Branded FOX aluminum-bodied 2-inch diameter shocks transform the performance of Gladiator by using race-proven damping control to provide a comfortable on-road ride and predictable off-road handling in even the toughest conditions.

FACE THE OBSTACLES

To aid in off-road Navigation, the available Segment-Exclusive forward-facing TrailCam Off-Road Camera offers gridlines that display the path in front of the tires to help you clear obstacles. Plus, an integrated washer lets you clean any mud splatter from the camera with the simple push of a button.

ADVANCED CAPABILITY WITH OFF-ROAD+

Fine-tune your adventure with Off-Road+. With a push of the button, you can adjust throttle, transmission shift points and traction control for peak performance on higher speed passes on sand dunes or low-speed rock crawling.

HEAVY-DUTY DANA® 44 AXLES

The heavy-duty Dana® 44 front and rear solid axles on the Gladiator have extra-thick tubes and forgings for exceptional strength, rigidity and durability.

OFF-ROAD STAPLES

Off-road necessities like heavy-duty forged front and rear tow hooks are perfect for helping less-capable trucks get out of trouble.

ARMORED FOR BATTLE

High-strength steel skid plates help protect key components like the fuel tank and transfer case from damage caused by challenging trails.
