Used 2024 Jeep Gladiator for Sale nearChicago, IL

How much does the 2024 Jeep Gladiator cost?

Prices have softened 10.13% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,255 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

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 truck that stands apart because its roof and doors come off, and it is built around open-air driving and off-road capability. Jeep also updated it for 2024 with styling revisions, a new infotainment system, and added comfort and convenience features, so it feels more current than before.

The trade-offs are real: fuel economy is poor, the ride can be rough, and the cabin can be noisy at speed. It also asks you to accept a value proposition that depends heavily on whether you care about its unique personality and utility.

With 35.0% of listings priced 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 design and capability, but it still asks you to live with a truck that prioritizes character over polish. Jeep’s updates for the year improve the cabin and technology, which helps the ownership experience feel more modern.

Its powertrain is described as tried-and-true, and the truck’s off-road hardware and utility-focused setup suggest a durable, purpose-built approach. Jeep also adds convenience and safety improvements for 2024, which should help day-to-day confidence.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the same traits that make it special can also make it less satisfying if you want quiet, efficiency, and refinement.

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 for towing. Focus on wear items, signs of hard use, and whether the equipment on the truck matches the trim you expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Sport is the entry point, while the Sport S adds key safety equipment that the base trim lacks. Higher trims add more comfort, capability, and luxury, with the Mojave X and Rubicon X sitting at the top of the range.
• Powertrain: The 2024 Gladiator uses 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. It can tow up to 7,700 pounds and haul up to 1,725 pounds of payload, depending on configuration.
• 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 truck gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth for two phones, over-the-air updates, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimate is 19 mpg in combined driving, 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 trim, but it is the most stripped-down version of the Gladiator and misses the safety upgrades that start on Sport S. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting price and plan to add equipment carefully.
• Sport S: This is the best-value trim because it adds forward-collision warning and adaptive cruise control with full stop capability while keeping the Gladiator’s core personality intact. If you want the smartest balance of price and equipment, start here.
• Willys: This trim leans into the Gladiator’s off-road character and is a good fit if you want more trail-ready attitude without jumping to the top end of the range.
• Mojave: This is the desert-running model, with a one-inch front suspension lift, FOX shocks, locking rear differential, heavy-duty axles, and Off-Road+ mode. Choose it if off-road performance matters more than everyday comfort.
• Rubicon: This is the more serious trail-focused choice for buyers who want maximum off-road hardware and capability.
• Mojave X: This adds more luxury and convenience on top of the Mojave formula, including 12-way power-adjustable front seats and premium leather upholstery.
• Rubicon X: This is the most upscale off-road-oriented version, pairing premium interior upgrades with the Gladiator’s strongest capability-focused equipment.

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

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,255 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.13% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $38,160, 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 $38,160 sits slightly below last year's $42,459.

That decline suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it also means sellers may need to price more competitively to move a used Gladiator. If you plan to sell later, the current trend shows that values have already softened, so holding out for a premium may be harder than it was a year ago.

The Gladiator’s uniqueness still helps support demand, especially for shoppers who want open-air driving and off-road capability in a pickup. That kind of niche appeal can help cushion resale value compared with more ordinary midsize trucks.

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 2024 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.

Starting with the Sport S model, 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.

Jeep also says the truck has structural improvements for side-impact protection and side-curtain airbags embedded in the roll cage. Even so, the rollover rating and the limited standard safety equipment mean you should be especially careful about trim choice if safety is a priority.

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:

• 35.0% 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 10.13% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds a new 12.3-inch infotainment system, updated styling, and more comfort features.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $34,177, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $38,160 average.
• It offers Wrangler-like character with open-air utility and available EcoDiesel efficiency.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $41,258, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $38,160 average.
• It adds special editions 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 cabin and tech, the 2024 is the better target. If price matters most, the 2023 is the smarter value play, while the 2025 makes sense only if you specifically want the newer-year changes and are willing to pay more.
