Jeep Gladiator vs Other Pickups

One of the most common reasons people choose a pickup truck is to tow a trailer or load up the bed with cargo. Luckily, the Jeep Gladiator offers impressive capabilities to meet both of these needs. When equipped with Jeep's Trailer Tow Group, the Gladiator offers a 7,700-pound towing capacity, which is a number that no other truck in its class achieves. This is perfect for hauling small campers, boats, various forms of all-terrain vehicles, and much more! Meanwhile, if you're looking to simply throw some cargo in the bed, the Gladiator's five-foot cargo bed offers a best-in-class 1,725-pound payload capacity. The closest competitor is the Ford Ranger, offering a payload capacity of 1,711 pounds.

Plain and simple, no other truck in its class can follow the Gladiator everywhere it can go. Its off-road capability begins with the standard Command-Trac 4x4 system. While most other trucks come standard with rear-wheel drive, while 4x4 is optional, all Gladiator trim levels come from the factory with 4x4. Command-Trac features a part-time transfer case allowing you to shift between 2WD, 4-High, and 4-Low. Plus, the transfer case has a Neutral mode for flat towing. It's this capability that earned all Gladiator trim levels Jeep's coveted Trail Rated 4x4 badge. Meanwhile, for even better off-road capability, the mighty Rubicon trim features Rock-Trac 4x4, which offers a 4:1 gear ratio in 4-Low mode, offering greater torque at lower speeds, which is essential for off-road crawling. The Gladiator Rubicon also features standard all-terrain tires, electronic sway bar disconnect, locking front and rear differentials, and many more features that enhance your off-roading experience. Speaking of off-roading experiences, all Gladiator models elevate off-road adventures with open-air freedom, courtesy of the Gladiator's standard removable top and doors, along with a fold-down windshield, giving you unobstructed access to nature around you.

Beyond the mind-bending capabilities of the Jeep Gladiator, it also offers some class-leading cabin features to keep you comfortable and connected. For example, you can comfortably take numerous passengers on any adventure, as the Gladiator offers a class-leading 38.3 inches of rear legroom, leading the Ford Ranger by over one full inch! The Gladiator's spacious cabin also offers best-in-class headroom of 42.8 inches, leading the 40.3 inches offered by the Ranger, its closest competitor in front headroom. The Gladiator also leads the class in rear headroom, offering the same headroom, while the Ranger drops down to 39.8 inches of rear headroom. Further, the Gladiator offers the most available USB ports in its class, with seven being the maximum.
