Jeep Gladiator Trim Levels

See All 11 Photos

Diving into the world of vehicle trim levels can be confusing, at best. American automakers have a knack for offering a near infinite number of option combinations. To help distill this information, even just a little bit, we're going to take a look at the 10 trim levels offered for the 2021 Jeep Gladiator pickup. We'll touch on what's available, what's not, and what makes each trim special.

Know this, however: We can't dig fully into each trim level. Doing so would take a depth of knowledge that not even the product experts at Jeep have. The best way to learn exactly what each trim comes with is to either spend some time with the vehicle configurator at Jeep.com or to visit a local dealer. Additionally, there are several locally available trims, such as the California Edition and Texas Trail Edition, that we won't be able to get into here.

Also, there are a few features and options that are standard across the lineup. All Gladiators start with a 3.6L V-6 engine and manual transmission. All also have four-wheel drive and come with a crew cab. A basic soft-top is standard across the lineup, and all Gladiators have the option of three tonneau covers and a spray-in bedliner. From there things get custom, so let's dive in.

Jeep Gladiator Overland

The Overland trim is unofficially the second most popular trim of Jeep Gladiator pickups (based only on how many we see on the road; Jeep doesn't publish sales figures by trim). Overland gets a few of the nicer standard features, such as body-colored fender flares and 18-inch Granite Crystal wheels. The Overland is also available with the full suite of Gladiator features, including LED lighting and all of the advanced safety and convenience tech, and it's the first model with the forward-facing trail camera. Also available are the body-colored hard top, leather seating, remote start, and remote-proximity keyless entry. Overland-trimmed Gladiators start at a modest $40,310, and checking most of the boxes brings it to about $63,500.

Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

Things start to really get fun with the Gladiator Rubicon model. Folks looking for the most off-road-capable Jeep Gladiator need to look no further. Rubicon adds a unique hood and fender flares, 33-inch tires, a 4.0:1 low-range transfer case, stronger Dana 44 axles, Fox 2.0-inch shocks, and more.

Jeep Gladiator Mojave

The Gladiator Mojave came about for 2020 and is the high-speed desert alternative to the rock-crawling Rubicon. The Mojave is essentially a Rubicon with a few bits replaced. The Mojave gets 2.5-inch Fox shocks and is the only truck with hydraulic bump stops from the factory, which are found on the front of the Mojave. Of note, the Mojave is not available with Jeep's EcoDiesel engine or the 4.0:1 transfer case. The Mojave starts at the same $44,740 as the Rubicon and tops out at about $66,000.
