While it took a while for it to finally arrive, the Gladiator has indeed hit showroom floors. It looks like a Wrangler, but what does its price tag look like compared to its bed-less cousin?
What is the price of a 2020 Jeep Gladiator?
The 2020 Jeep Gladiator’s MSRP ranges between $40,454 for the base Sport trim and up to $64,325 for its decked-out Rubicon model.
When it comes to midsize pickup trucks with some seriously unique features, the 2020 Gladiator is in a league of its own. Read on to learn more about what sets each trim apart, including specific pricing details for each model.
The Sport Trim
Beyond its capable engine and powertrain, the Sport also comes with 17-inch steel wheels and all-season tires for plenty of traction and a composed ride, even in less-than-ideal road (or off-road) conditions.
Inside the cabin of the Sport trim, however, things are quite primitive. You’ll find manual crank windows, as well as manual door locks and mirrors. However, this model is equipped with convenient cruise control, a rearview camera, and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Sport S Trim
Stepping up to the Sport S trim will tack a bit on in price, with an MSRP for this model starting at $44,286. However, upgrading to this trim is the least expensive way to get power windows and locks, alloy wheels, and a locking tailgate.
Beyond this, the Sport S is similarly equipped to the base Sport — but it is available for more package add-ons. An optional Popular Equipment package ($1,595), for example, adds such features as:
- A seven-inch touchscreen interface
- Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration
- A three-piece hardtop
Also available on the Sport S is a $350 Trailer-Tow package, which adds a Class IV receiver hitch, heavy-duty engine cooling, and a 240-amp alternator to increase towing capacity up to 7,650 pounds.
The Overland Trim
Taking things a little further is the Overland trim, which has a starting MSRP of $49,609. This trim starts with the Sport S trim’s features and adds larger 18-inch alloy wheels, as well as body-colored wheel arches and convenient side steps.
Inside the cabin of Overland models, you’ll find upgrades like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. LED ambient lighting also adds a more sophisticated feel to this model.
The Rubicon Trim
For those with a serious need for off-roading capability, the Rubicon trim may be worth the significantly higher starting price of $56,713.
This model receives an exclusive transfer case with a lower crawl ratio, so you can tackle rough and steep terrain with more confidence. The Rubicon is also outfitted with 33-inch all-terrain tires and a higher ground clearance for your adventures.
Meanwhile, upgraded Fox shock absorbers, skid plates, and locking front and rear differentials make this model a true must-have for off-road enthusiasts. The interior of this trim is equipped similarly to the Overland.
A number of packages are available on the Rubicon, including an available 8.4-Inch Radio and Premium Audio package ($1,845) that adds such features as:
- A premium Alpine sound system
- Satellite radio
- Auto-dimming rearview mirror
- 8.4-inch touchscreen interface
For added durability, the Rubicon is also available with an $895 Cargo Management package with Trail Rail System and:
- 240-amp alternator
- Truck-bed 115-volt AC outlet
- Lockable rear under-seat storage bin
The Mojave Trim
If the pricey Rubicon is a little more than what you need, don’t overlook the Mojave trim, which offers many of the Rubicon’s features (minus the locking front differential and disconnecting sway bar).
Instead, this “Desert-Rated” trim offers an inch higher ground clearance, as well as a reinforced frame and exclusive internal bypass shocks for a smoother ride. The Jeep Gladiators price starts at $43,875 on the Mojave trim.
More about the Revived Jeep Gladiator
The Jeep Gladiator pickup truck debuted in 1962 and was produced through the 1988 model year, though it was renamed the Jeep J-Series beginning in 1972. After a long hiatus, the redesigned Gladiator was re-introduced in 2020.
It’s still configured as a midsize pickup truck, though this model has deviated quite a bit from its original form. This model is available in both two- and four-door configurations and comes standard with a five-foot cargo bed.
In true Jeep form, the Gladiator also comes with the classic folding soft-top, though a removable hard-top is also available. Inside, standard features like Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition and a rearview camera are also new.
