The distinctly designed 2020 Jeep Gladiator delivers the rugged looks, powerful performance, and off-road capability synonymous with the Jeep brand. The Gladiator powers your day thanks to a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that generates 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain helps the Gladiator earn EPA-estimated fuel-efficiency ratings of 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. When properly equipped, the Gladiator returns an available best-in-class gas towing capability of 7,650 pounds.
In addition to its power, style, and capability, the Gladiator is equipped with advanced safety technologies to boost your confidence behind the wheel. Under proper conditions, the available Blind Spot Monitoring helps make changing lanes easier. You’ll be alerted to a possible frontal impact with available Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking. Under proper conditions, the technology also engages the brakes to help mitigate or avoid the accident.
