Used 2024 Jeep Gladiator for Sale nearBakersfield, CA

How much does the 2024 Jeep Gladiator cost?

Prices have softened 9.99% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,292 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

Is the 2024 Jeep Gladiator a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Jeep Gladiator earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

You get a vehicle that stands apart from conventional midsize trucks with removable doors and roof, plus strong off-road ability and useful towing and payload capability. The trade-offs are clear: the ride can be rough, the cabin can be noisy at speed, and value is not its strongest suit.

Cons: Poor fuel economy and questionable value for the money are the biggest drawbacks.

With 33.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Jeep Gladiator reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2024 Gladiator’s appeal comes from its distinctive formula: open-air driving, truck utility, and serious off-road capability. It also gets updated infotainment and added comfort features for the year, which helps it feel more current.

The powertrain is straightforward and proven, with a 3.6-liter V6 and either a manual or automatic transmission. Jeep also says the truck has structural improvements for side-impact protection, which is a meaningful step for used buyers to note.

If you plan to keep one long term, the main ownership risk is that its rougher-road personality and efficiency compromises may wear on you faster than on a more conventional pickup.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Jeep Gladiator?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used off-road or modified. Focus on wear items tied to trail use, cabin condition, and any signs that the removable roof and doors have not been sealing properly.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup starts with Sport, then adds Sport S, Willys, Mojave, Rubicon, Mojave X, and Rubicon X. Base trims miss some of the comfort and safety upgrades that show up higher in the range, while the Mojave X and Rubicon X bring more premium cabin equipment.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. Depending on configuration, it can tow up to 7,700 pounds, haul up to 1,725 pounds of payload, and provide up to 11.6 inches of ground clearance.
• Safety package: Starting with the Sport S, forward-collision warning and adaptive cruise control with full stop capability are standard. The Mojave X and Rubicon X add blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors.
• Infotainment: The 12.3-inch touchscreen runs Uconnect 5, and it includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air updates, Bluetooth for two phones, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy is poor, and testing returned 16.7 mpg over more than 175 miles.

Which 2024 Jeep Gladiator trim should I buy?

The 2024 Jeep Gladiator is offered in 7 trim levels: Sport, Sport S, Willys, Mojave, Rubicon, Mojave X, and Rubicon X.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, but it is the most stripped-down way to get the Gladiator’s removable roof-and-door experience and truck utility.
• Sport S: This is the best-value trim if you want the core Gladiator experience with standard forward-collision warning and adaptive cruise control with full stop capability.
• Willys: Choose this if you want a more trail-focused personality without jumping all the way to the pricier desert- or rock-oriented models.
• Mojave: This is the right pick if you want the Gladiator’s desert-running setup, including the lifted suspension, FOX shocks, locking rear differential, and off-road mode.
• Rubicon: Pick this if your priority is maximum off-road hardware and you want the most capable traditional trail setup in the lineup.
• Mojave X: This is the premium desert-runner choice, adding more comfort and convenience on top of the Mojave formula.
• Rubicon X: This is the premium off-road choice, and it suits you if you want the most upscale version of the Gladiator’s hard-core trail character.

Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors are standard only on the Mojave X and Rubicon X.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Jeep Gladiator?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,292 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.99% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $38,436, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Jeep Gladiator's resale value?

The current average of $38,439 sits slightly below last year's $42,703.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you as a buyer now but may temper what a future seller can ask. If you buy at the right price, you reduce the risk of taking an immediate depreciation hit.

The Gladiator’s unique appeal still helps support demand, especially for shoppers who want open-air driving and off-road capability in a pickup. That distinctiveness can make it easier to find interested buyers later, even if the broader market has softened.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Jeep Gladiator safe?

The Jeep Gladiator earns a three-star rollover resistance rating from NHTSA, and IIHS is unimpressed with its headlights, seatbelt warnings, and pedestrian detection and protection systems.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Jeep has added some meaningful safety improvements for 2024. Forward-collision warning and adaptive cruise control with full stop capability are standard starting with the Sport S, while the Mojave X and Rubicon X add blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors.

That said, the safety picture still has a caveat: the truck’s rollover rating and limited standard safety equipment mean you should pay close attention to trim level when shopping used.

Should I buy a 2024 Jeep Gladiator or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.99% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds updated styling, a new 12.3-inch infotainment system, and more comfort and convenience features.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $34,362, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $38,439 average.
• It blends Wrangler character with pickup utility and offers an available EcoDiesel engine.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $41,570, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $38,439 average.
• It adds special-edition models and standard power windows and door locks on the Sport trim.

The bottom line: If you want the most current version of the Gladiator’s updated cabin and tech, the 2024 is the best all-around pick. If price matters most, the 2023 is the smarter value play, while the 2025 makes sense only if you specifically want its later updates and are willing to pay more.
