The 2021 Jeep Gladiator is a fantastic mid-size pickup that has a fantastic blend of power and versatility. Its engine is truly impressive, but it doesn’t stop its other features from standing out either. Some of those key features are ones that any driver will find incredibly useful – let’s take a look at them below and see what you think.
1. Off-Roading Prowess
Every Jeep vehicle has some off-roading ability, but in the Jeep Gladiator, it’s above average. You not only have a 4X4 system for additional traction but there’s a lot of ground clearance, too. With 11 inches of clearance, you can easily drive over large rocks and logs. This is perfect for those difficult, cluttered roads and paths. The debris won’t damage your vehicle in the slightest, nor will you struggle to get by it all.
Another terrain you won’t struggle with is a high flood. Even when cutting through 30 inches of water, the Jeep Gladiator still performs as perfectly as it does on dry land. However, please note that 30 inches is the maximum that the Gladiator can handle in a flood. Anything more and you’re at risk of damaging your beautiful pickup.
2. Great Towing Capacity
Most pickups we’ve seen of this size can handle 7,500 pounds on a trailer. This is enough to haul a camper, jet skis, a small boat, or anything else that you can think of. However, the Jeep Gladiator stands out from the norm and can haul 7,650 pounds – so if any of those objects listed above happen to be a little heavier than typical, you’re covered.
If you need to haul, even more, you can add another 1,700 pounds onto that load – as long as it fits in the truck bed. The Jeep Gladiator has one of the best payloads we’ve ever seen, and if you pair it with the towing capacity you’ll be unstoppable.
3. The Convertable Option
Pickups don’t have soft tops. They’ve never had soft tops. In fact, it’s impossible to find a convertible pickup truck – unless you’re talking about the Jeep Gladiator. With a range of hard and soft top options, this pickup is the first of its kind. The soft top options are perfect for someone who loves the open air and wants to breathe it in while driving.
As this truck is robust and great for off-roading, the soft top option is fantastic for people who want to go on trailside adventures. Instead of stopping, getting out, and looking at the views, do it from the vehicle. With the top down you can admire nature, take pictures, and bask in the sunshine, all while you’re still cruising down a rocky road.
