2022 Jeep Gladiator Cerritos CA

There is no shortage of power found in the Jeep Gladiator’s engine lineup. Kicking off the lineup is a standard Pentastar 3.6L V6, sending 285 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels. Meanwhile, 442 lb-ft of torque accompanied by 260 horsepower is available from an EcoDiesel 3.0L V6 engine. A six-speed manual transmission is standard for the gas-powered Gladiator’s, while the diesel options employ the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission. However, the two-pedal transmission is optional for gas-powered Gladiators. 

A category that no other truck can compete with the Gladiator in is its off-road capability. This is because Jeep gave it the Wrangler’s ability to go places that no other vehicle would dare venture to. While most trucks come standard with rear-wheel drive, all Gladiator variants come with Jeep’s fabled Command-Trac 4x4. This part-time system allows drivers to choose between two-wheel drive, four-high, and four-low drive modes. Two-wheel drive is for dry, smooth road conditions. Meanwhile, four-high should be used when driving on loose gravel or very wet roads. Four-low should only be used when off-roading on slick or rugged terrain as it is designed to handle low-speed crawling control. Other off-roading features include high-strength steel skid plates, solid Dana 44 front and rear axles, tow hooks, and more. The Rubicon trim is the most capable Gladiator trim. Inspired by the legendary Wrangler Rubicon, the Gladiator Rubicon uses Rock-Trac part-time 4x4, locking front and rear differentials, sway bar disconnect, the Off-Road+ button, off-road rock rails, a 1-inch lift, FOX shock absorbers, and 33-inch all-terrain tires. 

As far as cab design goes, the Gladiator is a spitting image of the iconic Wrangler. From the vertical seven-slot grille and round headlights to the removable top and doors, the Gladiator wears its Jeep roots with pride. Other standard exterior equipment includes underbody skid plates, an easy-open three-position tailgate, a five-foot high-strength steel truck bed, rugged black fender flares, and 17-inch steel wheels. The interior is also reminiscent of the Wrangler, with its vertical dash panel, round gauges, and round air vents. Some other interior features you’ll find as standard equipment include cloth upholstery, an 8-speaker sound system, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, and a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen running Uconnect 4 software. Selecting a higher Gladiator trim will get you more standard equipment like heated power-adjustable door mirrors, LED exterior lighting, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, 9-speaker Alpine premium audio, navigation, leather-trimmed upholstery, alloy wheels, and much more.

With its open-air freedom and superior off-road chops, the 2022 Jeep Gladiator certainly is a unique vehicle ready to take any gear you need for your next adventure far beyond where the pavement ends.
