2022 Jeep Gladiator

Trims and Engine Type

For the 2022 model year, the Jeep Gladiator has nine trims – Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Altitude, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave, and High Altitude. Every trim comes powered by the 3.6-liter V6 engine with variable valve timing (VVT) and electric start-stop (ESS) technology. This engine is able to generate 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Available on all trims, except the Mojave, is the more powerful 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine, able to generate 260 horsepower but 442 lb-ft of torque.

Engineering

Every trim comes with a six-speed manual transmission, standard, with the ability to upgrade to an eight-speed automatic transmission (standard on the High Altitude trim). When running on the standard 3.6-liter V6 engine, the fuel economy is 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. The EcoDiesel V6 has an EPA of 22/28 mpg city/highway.

With a 4×4 drivetrain as the standard, all trims except the Rubicon come equipped with a Command-Trac part-time 4WD system for managing various road conditions, sending torque to all wheels when required, plus a 2.72:1 low range for rock crawling and neutral for flat towing when properly equipped. A Selec-Trac® Full Time 4WD System is available on select trims, able to lock in 4×4, and with a 2:72:1 gear ratio that can help driving in various terrain. The Rubicon comes with Rock-Trac HD Part Time 4WD Sys and Rock-Trac Full Time 4WD System in place of these for additional rock-crawling capability and control.
