The Gladiator now showcases a new standard eight-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous six-speed manual option.
Enhancements in Feature Set

The Gladiator continues to offer four-wheel drive as standard, with an EPA-rated fuel economy of 19 mpg combined. The lineup includes various trims starting from the base Sport at $39,995, up to fully outfitted variations like the Rubicon and Mojave, designed for specialized off-road performance.
