The new 2022 Jeep Gladiator at Nelson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Fergus Falls MN is such a good idea, it's amazing Jeep didn't think of it before. The Jeep Gladiator gives you the kind of off-road capability you'd expect in a genuine Jeep. You can remove the top and the doors when you head outside. But because it's also a rugged truck, it can do things even the legendary Jeep Wrangler can't do. For example, it can tow two tons more.
Performance
The 2022 Jeep Gladiator gives you a choice of two different engines. There's a 3.6-liter V6 that can deliver 285 horsepower along with 260 pound-feet of torque. If you want the extra torque and fuel efficiency of a diesel, the Gladiator’s 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 gives you 260 horsepower and a muscular 442 pounds-feet of torque. Jeep four-wheel drive is standard and the V6 can come with an available six-speed manual transmission.
Off-road capability
Because it's a truck, it's easy to assume the Jeep Gladiator might not be a really serious off-road vehicle. But a trip off-road can quickly dispel that notion. The suspension off-road is just plain amazing. It allows the Jeep to roll right over rocks and ruts when you’re driving at low speeds. This truck can articulate skillfully over the toughest terrain and still keep its wheels in contact with the ground, especially when you’re in a Rubicon or Mojave trim.
Towing and hauling
When you equip it properly, the Jeep Gladiator can tow a remarkable 7,650 pounds. Even without the maximum towing equipment, the Jeep Gladiator can still tow up to 4,000 pounds. By comparison, the Jeep Wrangler has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. When you need to carry stuff, the Gladiator can haul anywhere from 1,105 to 1,700 pounds of cargo. For an off-road vehicle, it makes a very good truck.
Trim levels
No one would accuse the new Jeep Gladiator of being short on choices. It offers buyers in Alexandria and Detroit Lakes a total of 10 different trims:
- Sport
- Willys Sport
- Sport S
- Altitude
- Willys
- Texas trail
- Overland
- Rubicon

To illustrate the kind of off-road capability the new Gladiator offers, the Sport S can give you all-terrain tires and a rear differential with an anti-spin feature that gives you better traction when traction is hard to come by. Choose the three-piece hard top and you can quickly open up the roof. Available off-road equipment can include anything from big-time skid plates to 30 inches of water fording capability and axle ratios made for rock crawling.
