That’s less of a problem for the Gladiator’s cabin (proportions aside), but it is an issue for the bed. Ditto for a Toyota Tacoma, as well as every half-ton truck. Shop for a Chevrolet Colorado, and you can choose one of three cabin sizes and two different bed lengths. The Gladiator is significantly more comfortable than an equivalent Wrangler, with better manners and less skittishness.Īnd while there is a bed in back, the Gladiator fails at some of the things trucks traditionally do well. And despite its Wrangler roots, the Gladiator is a relatively comfortable thing.įor starters, it has solid axles, but a five-link rear suspension and an extra 18.9 inches between the axles eliminates the Wrangler’s worst qualities. The four-door-only body means a usable second row, too.

Like the Wrangler, the Gladiator has comfortable seats and an elevated driving position. If you can afford the Gladiator, it’s safe to say that it has all the gear you could need.

While both the fully loaded Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison and Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro – vehicles that challenge the rugged Gladiator Rubicon, are more affordable, my Gladiator test vehicle carries significantly more kit (even if it can’t keep up off road). The only option missing, oddly, is leather upholstery.

In terms of a la carte options, my tester also carries the $2,000 eight-speed automatic transmission, the $595 Trac-Lok rear differential, a $495 proximity key, a $1,195 hardtop roof, a $295 wireless Bluetooth speaker, and a $495 tonneau cover. That’s what happens when you add the $995 Cold Weather Group (heated front seats, heated steering wheel, remote start), the $995 Premium LED Lighting Group (LED headlights, running lights, fog lights, tail lights, and turn signals), the $1,595 8.4-inch Radio and Premium Audio Group (an 8.4-inch infotainment system with navigation, an Alpine audio system, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and HD and satellite radio), the $895 Jeep Active Safety Group (blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors), and the $795 pairing of adaptive cruise control and a forward collision warning system with automatic emergency braking. All told, the as-tested price is $53,045.
