2020 Jeep Gladiator Culpeper VA

What does the Gladiator have for features?

This four-door midsize pickup truck has seating up for five-passengers and comes with a five-foot steel bed. What really sets this midsize truck apart from any other truck in the market is the open-air freedom provide by either the removable soft top, body colored hard top, or the black hard top. The base Gladiator Sport comes standard with a backup camera, an eight-speaker sound system, a five-inch central display, a Cass II bumper hitch, and anti-sway trailer control. One step up is the Sport S with heated power mirrors, power door and tailgate locks, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Continuing up the model lineup is the Overland with a 7-inch infotainment system, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, side steps, and LED ambient footwell lighting. Sitting at the top of the model lineup is the Rubicon with 33-inch all-terrain tires, Fox shock absorbers, and body-protecting rock rails.

Just how capable is the Gladiator?

The Gladiator wouldn’t be a Jeep, however, if it didn’t offer unmatched off-road capability. The advanced Command-Trac 4x4 system comes standard with both Sport models and the Overland model. The Gladiator Rubicon model, on the other hand, comes standard with Jeep’s Rock-Trac 4x4 system. A two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio is featured on the Command-Trak 4x4 system along with a heavy-duty generation Dana 44 front and rear axles with a 3.73 rear axle ratio. While the Rock-Trac 4x4 system uses a heavy-duty third-generation Dana 44 front and rear axles with a “4LO” ratio of 4:1. The Rubicon also features a Tru-Lok locking differential and a 4.10 front and rear axle ratio.
