2021 Jeep Gladiator Trims Explained
Posted on July 9, 2021
When people think of the word ‘Jeep’ they don’t necessarily think of pickup trucks. What a massive error! Those in the know (namely the CarHub community) will tell you that the Jeep Gladiator brings the quality, looks, and performance that Jeep is known for to a vehicle with a bed that will allow you to work or play in equal measure.
When most people think of the Jeep Gladiator, they think of the newest iteration, which is still an up and comer in the Jeep world, with only three years under its belt but the truth is that the Jeep Gladiator has been kicking around in various forms since way back in 1947! The new version of the Gladiator has continued to impress critics and 2021 has seen on big change in the addition of an optional diesel engine. Paired with a V6 engine, the 3.0 diesel will output 260 hps and a solid 442 pounds per foot of torque. Not bad for a vehicle that offers the looks of a Jeep with the performance of a pickup truck!
This year also saw the inclusion of an 80th-anniversary package and a Willys package that kicks up the off-road capabilities. Full-time four-wheel drive is available in every trim level to lend to the classic Jeep attributes.
When delving into any vehicle that you may be interested in purchasing, some work needs to be into researching the models available to you. Like anything else in the expansive Jeep line, the Gladiator comes in a range of trims, all of which offer a unique driving experience. Which is the right Gladiator for you though?
