2024 Jeep Gladiator vs 2024 Jeep Wrangler: What's The Difference? 

For the base version of these I would get the Gladiator because they give you Dana 44's. The base Wrangler gives you the small Dana 35's.

I traded my 2001 Wrangler Sport for a Gladiator. As a Home owner having a truck is so much more useful and longer wheel base makes it ride better. Taking the soft top down is easier. Plus I already have a Honda CRV, so I didn't need another SUV

If anyone is on the fence about buying a Gladiator, I would say jump on one now! I'm in the Northeast and I'm seeing the prices on the 2023's slashed by as much as $15,000 at the moment!

We need a 2 door gladiator with the 392.

"Not very good at being a truck" Reviewers for some strange reason seem to forget Gladiators are a midsize truck not a full size truck. "Doesn't tow that much" Well for a midsize it actually has best in class towing at 7700lbs. Actually it might be tied with the new GMC canyon because I believe they're up to 7700lbs now (obviously it varies on trim level). And please tell me which one of these other midsize trucks can compete with a Gladiator in stock form off road.....none. Which truck is as fun as a Gladiator with taking the roof and doors off...none. I'm actually trading in my F150 for one because I don't really need a full size truck anymore and also to be honest when I look at all the full size trucks they all just look like the same o'l shit to me. You are right on the power trains though. If the Wrangler has all those engines to choose from why not the Gladiator. The main reason these Gladiators get shit on in my opinion is they are too damn expensive for a midsize truck.

Let's see if the new Jeep CEO is a man of his word. This week he stated that they will bring Jeep back to its roots, get pricing back inline, and add options at no extra cost. Now we wait and see?

I always saw the gladiator as a wrangler with a bed on the back. But they do look identical pretty much

I have a 2023 Gladiator Rubicon and tow my 5000# camper with no issues at all + keeping my top down fun i love it

Both jeeps should have 35s tires on them

It’s very good for being a truck and does what I need it to do. Plus it did great at Drummond island for me

Weird that the Willy’s gladiator doesn’t get highline fenders like the Willy’s wrangler.

I have one of each. Love them both

Thanks for this review! I’ve been looking and comparing this same two vehicles (same trim levels too) lately. The Willys seems like the “sweet spot” trim level for both the Wrangler & Gladiator. The payload capacity on the gladiator is not great though, at just over 800lbs!!?? Guess I’ll keep my Ram with a nice 1,700lb payload. The appealing thing with Jeep… simple, old school drivetrain components (console shifter, manual parking brake and manual 4wd level)… not knobs, buttons or weird switches… and to me that feels like simplistic reliability!

Put a RSI Smartcap or equivalent on the Gladiator like I did and you have a Wrangler XL. We really like ours.

I went Wrangler with the '24. My wife wants a Gladiator though. We're holding off a while because the Ram 1500 bighorn we have is nice and well, much better at being a truck. Cheers!

The Wrangler and Gladiator taillights option out exactly the same. In your comparison, the Wrangler has the base taillights, while the Gladiator has the LEDs that come with the blind spot monitoring system.

Is this comparable to a Colorado zr2 which would be better for daily driving and weekend desert running

They should do : Wranlger : -3.6 penestar -2.0T inline -3.0 hurricane engine Gladiator : -5.7 hemi -3.0 diesel It’s so easy to fix this company they just won’t do it !!! 😫

I went and test drove a 2023 gladiator and Sahara. The gladiator def rode better and had more power. I would be using mine for daily driving and work wise I work in the mental health field so I may not need the gladiator bed or tow package, as far as the Sahara I assume the suv style back is big enough to get all the groceries. I love both I just can’t decide. I think gladiators are easier to get into price wise but Sahara has better mpg. Can anyone help me out who has driven either or both for daily? Thanks!

I like the Willys edition, however, that package does not provide charging port outlets for phones on the rear console for rear passengers. Why is that? That's very unreasonable.

Argh. I watched this whole video in hopes that it would be something other than the fact that the gladiator is slightly smoother on the road and has a truck bed.. damn. The real difference is that you’re going to pay a little over $2000 more so that you can have adaptive cruise control which is standard on the unlimited..

I would like to know if I should buy the Gladiator 2022 (new)v6 or the new Rubicon 2024 2 l turbo ... I am located in Thailand, and the gladiator is a lot cheaper in this case .... thanks

The Gladiator is more practical and has a significantly better ride than the Wrangler. However if you're a hardcore off-roader the shorter wheelbase Wrangler (or Bronco) is the way to go. I own a 2023 Mojave and love it.

I don’t know why Jeep does certain things like why didn’t they put the 33s on the gladiator 🤦🏻‍♂️🤔 I have a 2022 Willy’s with the Firestone tires and don’t like them. Seem to wear quickly. And loud. Other Jeeps I’ve had. Had the BFG 33s and I was very happy with them.

Ooph that new grille makes these look like the Compass. 😂😮 no bueno

Jeep has neglected the gladiator like never before...

Gladiator all the way but keep needs to get it together. Not enough options when compared to wrangler

Can u tell me if the i6 is available in the 2025 gladiator?

When the gladiator has only 1 powertrain option and it’s the worst pf the 3, it means that Stellantis will sunset it soon…

Both Have Same Lousy Quality, And Are Way To Expensive, Both Dealers In My Area Are Loaded With Inventory! No Thanks, New Outback For Me! Thanks For Your Report!

Wrangler has 33" tires with 3:45 gearing, Gladiator has 32" tires and 3:73 gearing.

👍💖👍

No difference, both rated worst reliability by CR 🍋

The Gladiator tail lights look like they were from a clearance bin at Kragen auto parts 🎉

Pure junk in reliability 😢

Oh 💩 more Jeep videos😂 You should start traveling to new locations. Go drive a 911 Turbo on the Autobahn for us or a Ferrari, Lambo on the Autostrada in Italy. You can do it🤣
