2022 Jeep Gladiator Trims Comparison

2022 Gladiator trim level differences

The 2022 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:

  • 17-inch steel wheels with 32-inch tires
  • Damped tailgate
  • Crank windows, manual door locks and manually adjustable mirrors
  • Tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
  • Push-button start
  • Cruise control
  • Eight-speaker audio system
  • 7-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • One USB port and voice control capability
  • Trailer sway damping (adjusts vehicle brakes to help control trailer movement if a trailer begins to sway)

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, the Texas Trail and the Altitude. 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:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Automatic headlights
  • Rear privacy glass
  • Power windows
  • Power door and tailgate locks
  • Heated power mirrors and an auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Keyless entry
  • Nine-speaker Alpine audio system
  • 8.4-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation system
  • Rear USB ports
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel

The Overland's available High Altitude subtrim level adds a number of luxury-themed and functional upgrades.

The Rubicon trim starts off with Overland features but provides more off-road capability with additions such as:

  • 17-inch wheels
  • 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 disconnecting front stabilizer bar
  • Fox shock absorbers
  • Body-protecting rock rails and skid plates
  • Special two-speed transfer case for better off-road gearing
  • Upgraded cloth upholstery

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
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated front seats
  • Leather seating surfaces
  • 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)
  • Front-facing camera

Which 2022 Gladiator trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Overland trim should work out well for many Gladiator buyers. It comes with a nice mix of features and a reasonable price. As for engines, the diesel really only makes sense if you do a lot of long drives and want the best fuel economy and range.
