Jeep has decided to drop the six-speed manual transmission, leaving the 3.6-litre V6 (285 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque) with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission on every model (Sport S, Willys, Rubicon or Mojave). The Gladiator continues to boast a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 lbs, which is unsurpassed among 4x4 midsize pickups. A 4xe plug-in hybrid variant will join the lineup at some point during the 2025 calendar year.
