The 2023 Jeep Gladiator is a capable powerhouse. As a Jeep dealer, we appreciate how the manufacturer has equipped this model with the features of a pickup truck combined with the conveniences of an SUV. Read on to learn more about some of its key features, ​including 11.1 inches of ground clearance, a five-foot cargo bed, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen.

1. A Lengthy Cargo Bed

Today, SUVs are loaded with modern conveniences and comforts, but pickup trucks have a lot of functional advantages. If you need the best of both worlds, you’ll love the Gladiator. This model comes with a spacious five-foot-long cargo bed. This steel truck bed can come with an available 115-volt/400-watt weatherproof power outlet so that you can plug in your tools or outdoor grill.

There are plenty of available add-ons to help you customize this space. For example, Jeep has an available roll-up tonneau bed cover to keep your stored items safe from the rain. Another available addition is the spray-in bedliner, making your steel truck bed even more durable.

2. A Trail Rated Pickup Truck

Jeep loves designing high-quality 4×4 vehicles, and with the Gladiator, they’ve created the first trail-rated pickup truck. The Gladiator has a high air intake and special water sealing, making it easy to ford through streams up to 31.5 inches deep. This trail-rated vehicle also has an optimized wheelbase and precision steering for improved maneuverability.

If you’re looking for the best ground clearance, you’ll want to consider the Rubicon models. These vehicles have up to 11.1 inches of ground clearance. If you tackle tough terrain, you’ll love the Tru-Loc Electronic Locking Differentials. Traveling at higher speeds over rough ground is a lot easier in 4H mode, where the rear axle locks in for improved traction and momentum.

3. The Doors and Roof Are Removable

Your outdoor adventures can get more up close and personal thanks to the Gladiator’s removable doors and hardtop roof. This feature is a wonderful way to enjoy the sunshine, or convert your off-roading vehicle back into a daily commuter.

4. A Crisp Touchscreen

Your Gladiator can be loaded with all the features you need so that you can stay connected while you’re on the road. An available 8.4-inch touchscreen loads your Jeep with features like navigation. Your Gladiator can also come with available 4G WiFi, with the ability to connect up to eight devices at once. The devices simply need to be within 50 feet of the vehicle in order to connect.

Jeep’s infotainment system uses Uconnect, a software known for being easy to use. Thankfully, the available system also comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which allows you to easily use all your phone’s familiar smartphone apps.

The Gladiator is the perfect mix of offroading features, pickup truck functionality, and technology. Visit Bob Ruwart Motors CDJR now to see our wide selection of new vehicles.
