2024 Jeep Gladiator Gets the Wrangler's New Face

With the 2023 North American International Auto Show well underway in Detroit, Stellantis is ready to share its latest news. Like the Wrangler before it, the Jeep Gladiator is getting refreshed for 2024, complete with reworked fascias, updated standard features, and improved safety equipment. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Jeep pickup.

This marks the first major update for the Gladiator since its arrival back in 2019, with Jeep wasting no time reworking the truck’s appearance. The JL’s modern but familiar seven-bar grille was previously adjusted for the 2024 Wrangler, and this truck follows suit. The spacing of the bars is different, with a noticeable lack of any body color in the vertical bars. The entire lineup picks up LED lighting for 2024, as well as an integrated antenna in the windshield. The brand has also added seven new wheel designs for 2024, which support either 32 or 33-inch rubber. Customers will also have nine interior colors to choose from: Firecracker Red, Granite Crystal, Silver Zynith, High Velocity, Hydro Blue, Sarge, Bright White, Black, and the new Anvil hue.

The 2024 Gladiator will be offered in Sport, Sport S, Willys, Mojave, and Rubicon trims. The new update also brings two additional trim levels to the truck, known as Mojave X and Rubicon X. These even more hardcore packages add a full-time transfer case, modular steel bumpers with integrated off-road cameras, and Nappa leather-trimmed front seats. Those seats are actually powered for the first time in a Gladiator and have been tested to withstand serious water or sand intrusion. The Willys model also comes backed by three different upfit packages provided by AEV, which help transform the truck into a genuinely kitted 4x4. Every 2024 Jeep Gladiator model will also receive side-curtain airbags across both rows, adding a welcome bit of additional safety. Sport S and higher trim levels will also come standard with advanced cruise control and forward collision warning systems.

Stellantis does not give the Gladiator the same breadth of powertrain options as the Wrangler. With the 3.0-liter diesel bowing out after 2023, the 3.6-liter V-6 is the sole powertrain option available for the new Gladiator. The engine provides 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque and comes equipped with a six-speed manual transmission. Customers can, of course, opt for an eight-speed automatic if they so choose.
