Used 2021 Jeep Gladiator Crew Cab Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Jeep Gladiator is a five-passenger, four-door midsize truck. It only comes in a crew-cab configuration that's available in four trim levels: Sport, Overland, Rubicon and Mojave. All come with a 5-foot cargo bed and four-wheel drive.

A choice of two engines is available. They are:

  • A 3.6-liter V6 (285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque)
  • A diesel-powered turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (260 hp, 442 lb-ft)

A six-speed manual transmission is standard with the 3.6-liter engine, and an eight-speed automatic is optional. The diesel comes exclusively with an eight-speed automatic. The diesel isn't available on the range-topping Mojave, but all other engine-transmission combos are available across the Gladiator lineup.

The Gladiator's base trim, the Sport, is equipped with:

  • Crank windows, manual door locks and manually adjustable mirrors
  • Manually adjustable tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
  • Cruise control
  • Eight-speaker audio system
  • 5-inch central display
  • One USB port and voice control capability

Other standard Gladiator equipment includes:

  • Folding soft top
  • Removable doors
  • Fold-down front windshield

Several packages are available for the Sport, including the Willys Sport, the Sport S, the Willys and the 80th Anniversary Edition. They offer a variety of aesthetic touches on the exterior of the Gladiator along with various upgrades to the Jeep's interior tech, breaking up most of the features that come standard on the Overland.

The Overland adds to the Sport's standard features with:

  • Automatic headlights
  • Power windows
  • Power door and tailgate locks
  • Heated power mirrors and an auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • 7-inch central display with a newer infotainment interface
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • Two USB ports
  • Automatic climate control
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel

The Rubicon trim provides more off-road capability with standard features such as:

  • 4.10 rear axle ratio for increased towing and off-road capability
  • 33-inch all-terrain tires
  • Fenders with increased clearance
  • Locking front and rear differentials
  • Electronically disconnectable front stabilizer bar
  • Fox shock absorbers
  • Body-protecting rock rails and skid plates
  • Special two-speed transfer case for better off-road gearing

Finally, there's the Mojave. It's similar to the Rubicon but lacks the locking front differential and disconnecting stabilizer bar. Instead, it's designed for higher-speed off-road driving with:

  • Reinforced frame
  • Transfer case tuned to run four-wheel drive at higher speeds
  • Fox internal bypass shock absorbers with hydraulic jounce bumpers
  • 1-inch lift for the front suspension
  • Desert Rated badge (instead of Trail Rated)

All trims can be equipped with a variety of options including:

  • Auxiliary switch group for wiring up to four electrical devices
  • Spray-in bedliner and a semi-rigid roll-up tonneau cover
  • Black hardtop with removable roof panels or a premium soft top

Additional notable options for the Gladiator, available as stand-alone items or in packages, include:

  • LED headlights
  • Larger 8.4-inch infotainment display
  • Leather seating surfaces
  • Premium Alpine sound system
  • Class IV tow hitch

Available driver safety aids include:

  • Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Rear parking sensors
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Gladiator and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

Which Gladiator trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the Gladiator in the midlevel Overland trim. Beyond the bare-bones base Sport trim, it offers power windows and locks as well as a larger infotainment system, smartphone connectivity, and access to most of Jeep's optional features. But we certainly wouldn't blame buyers for gravitating toward the Rubicon and Mojave trim levels since they offer a uniquely high level of rock-crawling and desert-hopping capability.
