Jeep Gladiator Bed Dimensions

The Jeep Gladiator bed length is exactly 60.3 inches, which is approximately 5 feet. However, you can lower the tailgate to extend the effective bed length to 81.3 inches; just keep in mind that proper tie-down procedures are necessary if you want to haul with the tailgate down.

Width-wise, anything less than 44.8 inches should fit well inside the Jeep Gladiator bed. It is 44.8 inches wide between the wheel wells, which is the narrowest point in the bed. At the widest point, the bed measures 56.8 inches, so bulkier furniture or equipment that doesn't need to be laid flat can also be easily hauled in the back of the pickup.

Taller boxes or loose objects are also less likely to shift or blow out while driving, thanks to the Jeep Gladiator bed size offering a depth of 33.9 inches. In addition, the Jeep Gladiator bed storage opening is only 34.8 inches off the ground, so loading should be easier on your back compared to larger, full-size trucks.

Beyond that, if you only need the front two seats, you can load gear and other smaller essentials in the back row. Car and Driver's review further bolsters this point, as its team of experts packed 12 carry-on suitcases in the Gladiator with the rear seats stowed.2

Jeep Gladiator Bed Utility Features

Complementing the Jeep Gladiator bed size are impressive amenities that make hauling in the back of this pickup even more convenient and safer. For starters, there's the available Cargo Group with Trail Rail System. This package includes a roll-up tonneau cover to seal the bed from the elements, rails for secure and sorted cargo organization, and a 115-volt AC outlet for powering tools from the bed.

Even without any packages, Jeep Gladiator bed storage features include multiple standard tie-downs to help you secure your load. Plus, an easy-lift tailgate makes lowering or latching the tailgate quick and smooth, even with only one hand free.

Jeep Gladiator Bed Size Usage

The Jeep Gladiator trunk space is not enclosed in the traditional car sense but is instead an open-air cargo bed designed to haul heavier materials. Here are just a few things you can use it for:

  • Off-Road Toys: If you're using your Gladiator to its fullest, you'll be in the heat of a true adventure. So, up the ante and unlock the ability to explore exciting trails by lowering the tailgate and bringing along a dirt bike or two, or an ATV, in the bed.
  • Camping Supplies: For adventurers content with the Gladiator truck's off-roading capability, the bed can be used to hold most, if not all, of your gear. Thanks to the versatile Jeep Gladiator bed size, your tents, coolers, folding chairs, firewood, tools, water bottles, and more can likely fit.
  • DIY Materials: Planning on building a deck? Lower the tailgate all the way down or to a midway position to haul 8-foot-long 2x4 boards. Whether your hobbies call for soil bags or a full-size easel, the Gladiator is well suited to bring along what you need for the job.
  • Furniture: On moving day, the Jeep Gladiator bed size is enough to carry most standard or small couches, while longer sofas may need extra tie-downs or support. If you're into antiquing, your next floor lamp or living-room chair can very likely fit in the Gladiator truck's bed, too.
