2021 Jeep Gladiator at Dave Smith Motors
The Jeep Gladiator is part truck, part Jeep, and all amazing. Last year the Gladiator roared onto the scene and impressed drivers with its powerful engine and best-in-class towing ability. In 2021, the Gladiator is back, and it's coming with a new diesel engine. Optional on all trims is a 3.0-liter diesel V6 capable of producing 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. This engine is more than an extra option; it gives the Gladiator a greater appeal if you tend to take a lot of road-trips or if you're big into off-roading. In addition to the diesel-powered engine, the Gladiator also has a ton of tech and safety features, so you are guaranteed to have the most advanced truck on the road. There is a lot to go over with the 2021 Jeep Gladiator. Continue reading as we go over all it has to offer!
ENGINEERED STRENGTH
Flexible Coverage
The roll-up tonneau bed cover, available from the factory, offers versatility; unroll it completely for covered storage and a clean look, or flip up the last 5 inches to accommodate longer items with the tailgate and rest of the tonneau closed.
Keep It Secure
Four strong integrated tie-down loops can be adjusted as needed, including folded flush into the wheel wells when not attached to straps to maximize cargo space.
DESERT RATED
Ground Clearance
Rubicon models get up to 11.1-inches of ground clearance between the truck's underside and the terrain so you can drive over obstacles with confidence.
Take Control
Gladiator Rubicon offers two impressive ways to maximize your drive. The standard front and rear Tru-Lok® Electronic Locking Differentials offer incredible power delivery to the wheels to help maintain momentum on tough terrain with maximum traction. New for 2021, the rear axle can now be locked in 4HI Mode for use at higher speeds or on the dunes.
