The Jeep Gladiator is rolling into 2025 with some exciting changes in store! This work-strong pickup will also accompany you on the trail in safety and comfort. Let’s break down all it has to offer in the new year.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2025 Gladiator’s Sport (base) trim starts at $38,100—that’s a decrease from the previous model year.
- There’s a new addition to the Gladiator lineup—the 4xe, a plug-in hybrid.
- The Gladiator crank windows and 6-speed manual transmission are no more.
What Changes Have been Made to the 2025 Jeep Gladiator?
The Gladiator still features a 3.6-liter V6 engine generating 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque as it did for 2024, but the manual transmission of that model year is also long gone, and an eight-speed automatic transmission is newly standard. (The Gladiator’s towing capacity remains the same at 7,700 pounds, and can haul up to 1,725 pounds of cargo.)
Well, the Jeep Gladiator and Jeep Wrangler still had manual crank windows in 2024 (and were the last new models to feature them), but they are now truly a thing of the past as power windows are now standard across all trims. There’s also a pre-ventilation option for the Gladiator—an app allows you adjust the vehicle’s temperature to your liking before you enter.
The Gladiator also has additions to its color palette—olive (dubbed '41), and Fathom Blue.
You’ll have to wait a little longer for the plug-in hybrid trim, the 4xe. It won’t be out until sometime in 2025, and we don’t have a lot of information about it as of yet. (It may even be out as a 2026 model.) Gas models are rolling out first.
What is the Starting Price of the 2025 Jeep Gladiator?
The 2025 Gladiator starts at $38,100 at the Sport trim, and while it’s slightly more, it is a price cut. How? It’s priced $205 more than the 2024 model; however, the addition of the automatic transmission is a $2,500 upgrade. So you’re actually paying much less!
Prices have decreased for other trims in this regard:
- NightHawk: $40,895
- Sport S: $41,600
- Mojave: $51,100
- Rubicon: $51,100
The Willys trim did increase by $205 with a price of about $45,200.
