A C T I V E PURSUIT. When nothing can stop you, you are given permission to stop at nothing to reach your end zone. Go as far as you dream, then go beyond. Jeep Gladiator is purpose-built to take you to your next adventure with all your toys in tow. Calvin Kim, with Edmunds, wrote â The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon is very easy to like. This burly off-road machine does almost anything the ballyhooed Jeep Wrangler can do, but it's also a practical pickup with a useful bed design and healthy payload and tow ratings. Inside, the cabin is nicely trimmed and easy to live with, and its back seat is more spacious than any of its closest rivals. Features such as lockable front and rear differentials, standard 33-inch all-terrain tires and a disconnectable front stabilizer bar give the Gladiator Rubicon the ability to traverse difficult terrain with ease. But even if you are just cruising around town, you can have fun with the Gladiator's removable top and doors. It's the only convertible pickup on the market. Overall, however, we're quite fond of the Gladiator and think it's a great pick for a truck that delivers off-road capability, cargo hauling and fun all in one. The Rubicon benefits from a well-matched engine and transmission combination, and it has no equal when the pavement turns to dirt. Pavement performance is compromised by the same giant tires and solid front axle that make it excel off-road, but the chassis is nevertheless nicely optimized around these necessary limitations. .The robust 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission turning 3.73 axles, is made to extend your playing field as far as your imagination dares to roam.
