2021 Jeep Gladiator Power & Handling
The 2021 Jeep Gladiator is anything but average, and capability comes standards thanks to Jeep's legendary 4x4 performance. The Gladiator was engineered to conquer mud, snow, sand, rocks, and anything else you can throw at it. The Trail Rated Jeep Gladiator comes with a high air intake and special water sealing, allowing you to cross streams at depths of up to 30 inches. The 2021 Gladiator offers higher levels of articulation to help keep all four tires on the ground to provide the best possible articulation and traction. High-strength steel skid plates protect vital components such as the fuel tank and transfer case from rocks or other obstacles on the trails. Jeep gave the Gladiator their legendary 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with 285 horsepower as the standard engine. Plus, they have added the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine that offers 260 horsepower and Best-in-Class torque of up to 442 pound-feet. This EcoDiesel comes with Variable Geometry Turbo technology, eight-speed automatic transmission, and wide track axles with a 3.73:1 axle ratio that offer incredible acceleration and the strength to handle the added low-end torque produced by diesel.
