The Jeep Gladiator. Originally debuting in 1962, Jeep’s pickup truck offering has had an interesting if underappreciated history in the US Domestic market. Having been reintroduced in its current form back in 2020, the new Gladiator takes the Wrangler platform and turns it into a versatile, rugged pickup truck that’s quickly established itself as a unique player in the Pickup class.
New for 2025, rumors anticipate the Gladiator will add features like a brand new plug-in hybrid powertrain, as well as a few price drops across the trim range, and in this article we’ll be looking at all of the things to expect from the new Gladiator, which will be the only available midsize plug-in pickup when it releases.
Key Takeaways
- There’s a lot to be excited about for the new Gladiator, but the biggest highlights are a potential Hybrid engine as well as a price drop.
- Power locks and doors are being touted as likely additions as well, though these won’t come at an increased price.
- The Gladiator was already a unique option before these new changes, but with it’s rumored hybrid powertrain, it’s really become a one of one.
How many miles can a Jeep Gladiator go on a full tank?
The Jeep Gladiator’s standard Pentastar V6 loadout sports an EPA-estimated 19 MPG combined, and has a total range of 418 miles. Though there’s no official information on the hybrid powertrain, it’s possible that it will have a similar or greater range when it does come around, but this mainly depends on how Jeep decides to ship out the option. It’s possible that the Gladiator will use the same hybrid turbocharged inline 4 that’s currently available on the Wrangler.
How much is the 2025 Jeep Gladiator?
The price of the 2025 Jeep Gladiator starts at $39,995 and goes up to $62,995 depending on the trim and options. The Sport trim is the starting trim, sporting an MSRP of $39,995, and providing plenty of enticing features like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, Removable doors, a Premium folding soft top (the only pickup that you can buy with one, by the way.) and part time four-wheel drive.
The Nighthawk starts at $42,790 and comes equipped with 44” Dana customized front and rear axles, and a 3-piece hardtop as some of it’s more standout features. There’s also the Sport S trim, coming in at around $43,495, and the High Tide, Texas Trail, and Big Bear trims all clock in at $45,695.
From there the Willys trim brings in an MSRP of $47,095. The Mojave sports an anticipated price tag of $52,995, which is matched by the Rubicon trim. The Mojave X, an upgraded version of the offroader, sports an MSRP of $62,995, which is shared by the Rubicon X. The 4xe, which the Hybrid should go under, is expected to go for sale at around $58,000.
Summary
Buyers can expect one thing from the new Gladiator: a midsize truck that delivers. From the wide variety of trims, hard to beat off road prowess, and unique positioning in the Pickup market, what with its removable doors, soft top roof, and now hybrid offering, it’s a model that’ll be difficult to match in the market from 2025.
