Capability
The Willys edition stands out from the other Trail Rated Gladiator trims, primarily due to its additional off-road features. The Gladiator Willys drives on 32-inch BFGoodrich KM2 mud terrain tires and features Rubicon cab rock rails for protection on rough paths. The Trac-Lok Limited Slip Rear Differential improves traction on different terrains. The 4×4 part-time, two-speed transfer case also makes it easier to tackle obstacles.
Exterior
The pickup truck has a rugged and muscular appearance with a gloss black sport grille, a heritage “4 Wheel Drive” tailgate decal, and a Willys hood decal. Black 17-inch aluminum wheels come with a gray pad print to add to the look. Plus, you can choose between eight different paint colors, including Granite Crystal, Hydro Blue, Sting Gray, and Firecracker Red.
