Powerful Engine

You can get through the dirt, mud, snow, and sand without batting an eye. The Gladiator runs on a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower at 6,400 RPM and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,400 RPM.

It has a six-speed manual transmission to keep you in control.

Off-Road Accessories

The adventure begins when the road ends. The Gladiator has four-wheel drive and P245/75SR17 all-season tires that push debris to the side to clear a path. The exterior is equipped with halogen headlights and front fog lights to improve illumination.

Luxurious Entertainment

You won't get bored behind the wheel, even if you're just driving to work. The interior has eight speakers and wireless phone connectivity via Bluetooth to maximize your listening options. You can control the audio with your voice or the steering-wheel-mounted controls to stay focused on the road. The center console shows you important information about your environment, including the outside temperature and your direction on a compass, so you always know where you're going.

Safety for Every Terrain

The Gladiator helps you stay safe when exploring the wilderness or combatting rush-hour traffic. It has cruise control to give you a break from driving. The body is made of galvanized steel and aluminum to protect you and your passengers in a collision. The side impact beams distribute the impact of the obstacle to minimize damage to the interior.

Electronic stability control with anti-rollover protection keeps the vehicle and your trailer upright in slick conditions. Four-wheel antilock brakes increase traction and handling. There are multiple airbags to reduce your risk of injury. Use the low tire pressure warning system to prevent flats. It also has maintenance reminders and low-fuel warnings to keep the engine running strong.

You can drive your Gladiator all over Michigan and beyond, from hitting the lake and towing camping supplies to running errands around town. It has space for all your possessions, a riveting drivetrain that can go the extra distance, and a soothing interior that will make you feel at ease.

Should I Get the 2025 Jeep Wrangler or the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe?

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. If you're looking for a rugged off-roading SUV, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler and its hybrid sibling, the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, can power your most extreme adventures. To help you decide between the two, this guide highlights each model's unique features and differences. Engine Options The 2025 Wrangler has a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine under the hood. This engine generates 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, which is more than enough for conquering rough terrains. It pairs with a six-speed manual transmission that gives you full shifting control for enhanced performance on challenging grounds. A 2.0L Turbo engine paired with an automatic transmission is available across the lineup. Each trim level of the 2025 Wrangler 4xe comes with the same powertrain that pairs a 2.0L I4 turbo plug-in hybrid engine with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission for an output of 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, providing improved traction on loose or slippery terrains. Fuel Economy and Range While both the Wrangler and the Wrangler 4xe are efficient vehicles, each engine has its own ratings and range. The base 3.6L V6 engine provides 19 miles per gallon combined and a total driving range of 408 miles on a full tank. Equipped with the turbo engine and automatic transmission, the Wrangler offers up to 21 miles per gallon combined and a total range of up to 452 miles, depending on the style. The plug-in hybrid Wrangler offers exceptional EPA estimates of up to 49 miles per gallon combined and a total driving range of 370 miles on gas only. It also offers an electric-only range of 22 miles, which is more than enough for eco-friendly errands. Hybrid, electric, and e-save drive modes allow you to tailor the power output to suit your needs. Capabilities Both the Wrangler and the Wrangler 4xe are rugged vehicles designed for off-roading, but they use slightly different drivetrains. The Wrangler comes standard with Jeep's Command-Trac part-time 4WD system with shift-on-the-fly capability. This system allows you to switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive as needed, to improve fuel economy on paved roads and increase traction off the road. The Wrangler 4xe comes standard with the Selec-Trac full-time 4WD system that uses a two-speed transfer case to switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive based on the road conditions. This automatic system adapts the torque output automatically to improve traction and stability when tackling extreme terrains. Select trims of both the Wrangler and the Wrangler 4xe use the Rock-Trac system for added performance on rocky trails.
