2025 Jeep Gladiator: 5 Huge Upgrades You Can't Ignore! (Don't Buy the 2024!)

[@Lyudtaru]

Nobody want a skinny hybrid, we want hemi v8 in a gladiator

[@fernandoharo1661]

I think the Hybrid will be a great add on man, specially addressing fuel milage, but that hurricane engine seems awesome

[@persaud101]

Depends on specs and towing capabilities

[@JR-ut1yx]

Yeah for the same price!

[@mturzanski]

You can thank california!

[@crsrag007]

so true… mopra build great V8’s and a truck platforms often marry well with this platform. Don’t know why it’s not common place for the Gladiator

[@NovaCaddoWolf]

I'd rather have a simple port injected V6 than a direct injected turbo. What they should put in is a naturally aspirated port injected inline 6 to make it really reliable. Overlanders prefer reliability over power.

[@JR-ut1yx]

Absolutely 👍

[@daved6464]

Im very happy with the power of the 3.6L v6

[@Supafly1st]

No one's asking for these engine options, what a joke. Give people an affordable v8. The ask has been unchanged for 30 years. The brand with the worst reliability wants to do a twin turbo and hybrid. Good luck with that.

[@chrisE815]

It's CAFE, not Jeep

[@mturzanski]

Yup thank california the party ruiners

[@spartanj2957]

I'd rather have the pentastar I don't need tons of HP .Or a dam turbo or a 4cyl. They can keep it.

[@frankiemarin3488]

Put a 392 in it at least. That’s what we want. Even better a Hellcat, Demon, or Hellaphant!!!😎

[@tysonhaggerty8475]

If you buy a Jeep from white rock dodge in BC Canada you can get it with all the srt engine options

[@kidamere2408]

whos gonna buy that 90k jeep no one

[@terryjohnson3744]

No one I know that is looking for a hybrid engine or even a electric engine. Every jeep person I know likes gas engine stop with the electric waste

[@danmacdonald8829]

I bought a '23 at a deep discount and I love it. Plus no antenna in the windshield. The Pentistar is a proven reliable engine. I didn't buy it to tow, I've got enough room to carry everything I need.

[@2manytoyz123]

I have a 2023 Gladiator Rubicon with the diesel engine you’ve apparently forgot about. 442 lb ft of torque, almost as much as the hemi. The frame was beefed up for this heavier engine, and I’m getting 23-29 MPG. No fellow Jeep owners I know are interested in an electric or hybrid. Put a 392 in it, watch sales skyrocket. Nothing on the 2025 model has my attention…

[@larryboy8821]

I just grabbed a leftover 23 diesel. I didn't even consider a 24, I don't care about any interior updates. Electric vehicle's are just another population control mechanism. It's like driving around with a microwave on your lap.

[@Good-luck-Jonathan]

I have the same. Will be keeping till death. No better truck and love the EcoDiesel and making over 500 lb ft torque now with Banks kit.

[@fernandomartin624]

Yeah I'm keeping my eco diesel Gen 3 till death. I'll probably be doing a whole motor cleaning and banks tune once it's out guarantee Delete egr if possible.. These motors are great just need better air flow.

[@dvader3263]

Most people aren't interested in a midsized truck with a diesel engine.

[@2manytoyz123]

@@dvader3263 most people also have never driven one. Almost the same torque as the Hemi, or Ford’s new 7.3L V8 Godzilla motor, which is what I have in our motorhome. The higher price for the diesel on an already expensive truck likely is the biggest factor, IMHO.

[@Joshlindsay22]

I love my 2020 I like that it doesn’t have that much power because it’s out in the woods half of the time and it’s not a race truck.

[@JCann]

And you can get all this for a measly base model MSRP of 115k. All models come with a preprogrammed number to your local service center.

[@Alex-mo7ro]

That’s top of the line after tax, it’s one of the best trucks on the market and everything has gone up in price

[@MikeSmith-ey7ku]

My first one was 45k pretty loaded 80th anniversary. Current one had a sticker of 63,which is crazy,but I paid 52. I’m good. Love my Mojave. No issues with 4 jeeps I’ve had except a horn that broke and a power steering pump they replaced that was a little noisy. And….. trade ins are killer. First gladiator 45k drove 42k traded for 38. Prob not gonna happen again but JKs I had,I traded a used one for more than I paid after 2 years,way before pandemic. So talk out you ass all you want bud.

$20,000 in 1985 is about $60,000 today. An entry level Gladiator Sport goes for about $38K, $32K for an entry level Wrangler Sport. 1985 vehicles were less reliable and in general just substandard then today. My Jeep has proven itself to be incredibly reliable over the last 10 years. This is with about 20% of the mileage being off road. In fact other then a air-bags recall and a factory reprograming concerning the cruise control the only issues I have experienced was due to damage that I caused while off roading.

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

@@timbeatty11 My Wrangler has proven itself to be very reliable. Other then a factory recall for the airbags and a cruise control fix (this involved reprogramming the ECU) the only issues I had was due to operator error on rough terrain.

You missed a huge upgrade. Standard side curtain airbags. They are currently at least 15 years behind.

[@kazwalker764]

Side curtain airbags are standard in the '24. It played a large factor in my decision to upgrade from my '21.

[@11spugh]

Where has Jeep stated that the gladiator is getting the hurricane for 2025?

[@AmericaWon]

I think I’ll beef up my V6!

[@CraigG21]

It would be nice if you showed an actual Ranger Raptor and not an F150 Raptor. And why keep showing the diesel engine if it’s not available, or even talking about it? Why would they introduce a 3.3L Hurricane when it’s 3.0L everywhere else?

[@maddocmucmaddocmuc5341]

So jeep listened to the customers? What did they have in their ears? Nobody asked for a hybrid. 2.0 Liter gas engine with turbo and hybrid? How reliable is that going to be in a Jeep, notorious for bad reliability...? Good luck, you are going to need it.... Did you ever hear that the Gladiator also comes with a fabolous 3 Liter Diesel engine? I am running mine with 27 MPG. Checklist: - ditch the pentastar - ditch the 4 liter turbo blow thing Chihuaua - keep the 3 Liter Diesel or make it a 4 Liter - add V8 / 392 or cummins - fine that Jeep wants to work on quality. allways a good idea additionally (would be nice but aftermarket solutions are availiable) - improve towing capacity (aftermarket 3.5 Ton = 7.000 pounds available in switzerland for USD 2.500) - seriously improve payload!!! (aftermarket in europe offers upgrade to overall weight of 4 tons. (4.000 USD) I mean, really.....

[@alancadieux2984]

Ok so what happened to stellantis is going broke & cancelling the Wrangler & Gladiator? Give it a 6 foot box and i could be tempted to trade my 2022 in. Otherwise, nope 🙅. Increase the load carrying capacity, along with the towing capacity too!

[@PeachTree-u4b]

[@outsidepnw5381]

No manual with the inline 6 anymore. Only the 2l 4 cylinder is what I've heard 😢

[@filup7419]

Price and fuel economy make the Gladiator unbuyable. That's why 2023 sales dropped to just 25,000 units down from 80,000. When the new Ranger and Tacoma start at $6-7K cheaper and the Gladiator starts at the same price as a decently equipped F150 or Silverado (which both get better MPGs), it's not hard to see where Jeep needs to improve.

[@app1mxh]

Mine is a pavement queen. No need for a new engine. I would rather have more backseat room and cargo space.

[@andrewmangum8391]

Wow they put the Renegade Grill on it awesome

[@vanquish_engineering]

What the people want is a 6.2L in the friggin thing. They AREN'T listening!!!

[@webduelist]

No a tiny minority wants that engine, you gotta look at it from a money standpoint, add a big expensive engine that won’t sell to the majority to give a minority what they want, or look at what is selling on the wrangler and update based on that data.

[@crsrag007]

sounds like they’ll final accomplish a $100k base model starting point for future Gladiators.

[@craigwoodward4566]

Please give us some larger interior room. Move the front seats further back and allow headroom for tall (6’6” and over folk). Allow the front seats to recline closer to the dash too 😃

[@pags409]

Not everyone needs a Rubicon or Mojave… A Willys is just fine for me. I love seeing Rubicon’s with not so much as a branch scratch… It’s all about the look and not buying what is actually is needed, I guess for some.

Now we’re cooking with crisco

[@JesseHires]

Kinda funny you mention it was only available with a 3.6L gas engine, but in stock footage you show a 3.0L diesel.

[@notinstock4631]

Exactly what I was thinking, they keep showing the engine cover for the 3.0L diesel... I am glad I have the diesel version.... Why they remove the 3.0L diesel when it gets the same torque but better fuel economy... I would love to see them put in a V-8 diesel but that would probably twist the frame into a pretzel.

[@jeffgrimm9487]

there is no replacement for displacement. Turbos are just another thing to go wrong.

[@matthewscheuerman5706]

they hybrid option is also about 1000lbs heavier than the gas

[@Eyelise2005]

I'd like to know where you get your information. Is this all speculation

[@kylegilmore6513]

All the engine talk has to be speculation and currently false. The only available engine choice currently in the 2025 Gladiator order bank thru (DealerConnect) is the 3.6L V6 gas engine... No Hurricane or Hybrid variant currently available. Also, Stellantis doesn't even offer a 3.3L in line 6 twin turbo, I am sure you meant to say the 3.0L, but that is not even a current option when ordering the 2025 Gladiators...
