Used 2024 Jeep Gladiator for Sale nearChicago, IL

How much does the 2024 Jeep Gladiator cost?

Prices have softened 9.72% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,384 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of used Gladiators to compare.

Is the 2024 Jeep Gladiator a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Jeep Gladiator earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.3/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

It stands out as a pickup with removable doors and roof, plus a strong off-road focus and useful towing and payload capability. Jeep also updated this model with minor styling revisions, next-generation infotainment technology, added comfort and convenience features, and new range-topping trim levels.

The trade-offs are clear: fuel economy is poor, the ride can be rough, and the cabin is loud at higher speeds. The value equation is also less compelling if you want a conventional midsize truck rather than a lifestyle-oriented one.

With 36.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have 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 is built around a durable, purpose-driven formula, with Jeep’s off-road reputation and a design that emphasizes utility and easy cleanup. Its expert review also points to a truck that is meant to be used hard, with substantial towing and payload capability on some versions.

The performance notes reinforce that it uses a tried-and-true 3.6-liter V6 and a standard automatic engine stop/start system, which suggests a familiar mechanical setup rather than a complicated one. Jeep also says the 2024 model gets structural improvements to enhance occupant safety in side-impact collisions.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the Gladiator’s rugged character comes with compromises in refinement, so condition and maintenance history matter more than they might on a more conventional truck.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used off-road or modified. Pay close attention to wear on the roof, doors, suspension, tires, and interior surfaces, since this model is designed to be used in ways that can accelerate wear.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup starts with Sport, Willys, Mojave, and Rubicon, then expands to Sport S, Mojave X, and Rubicon X, with regionally available versions such as Beach and Texas Trail. Base versions are simpler, while higher trims add more comfort, convenience, and premium interior touches.
• Powertrain: The 2024 Gladiator continues with a 3.6-liter V6 making 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic, and Jeep says the truck 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. Mojave X and Rubicon X add blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors, so lower trims miss some of the more helpful driver-assistance features.
• Infotainment: The 2024 model gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air software updates, Bluetooth for two phones, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert review says combined fuel economy is 19 mpg, 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, Willys, Mojave, Rubicon, Sport S, Mojave X, and Rubicon X.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Gladiator formula at the lowest price. It makes sense if you want the removable roof and doors without paying for extra equipment.
• Sport S: This is the trim to focus on if you want the best value, because it adds important safety equipment like forward-collision warning and adaptive cruise control with full stop capability.
• Willys: Choose this if you want a more trail-oriented setup than the base truck, while staying below the higher-priced Mojave and Rubicon variants.
• Mojave: This is the desert-running version, with a one-inch front suspension lift, FOX shocks, a locking rear differential, heavy-duty axles, and Off-Road+ mode.
• Rubicon: Pick this if you want the most serious off-road focus in the core lineup.
• Mojave X: This is the best-equipped desert model, adding 12-way power-adjustable front seats and premium leather upholstery.
• Rubicon X: This is the top-end choice if you want the most premium version of the Gladiator with the Rubicon’s off-road character.

Starting with the Sport S, forward-collision warning and adaptive cruise control with full stop capability are standard, while Mojave X and Rubicon X add blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors.

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

The market looks moderate for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,384 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.72% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $36,715, 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 $36,715 sits slightly below last year's $40,670.

That decline suggests the market has softened, which can help you buy more affordably now but may also limit near-term upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the truck in strong condition, you can reduce the impact of that depreciation.

The Gladiator’s unique open-air setup and strong enthusiast appeal should help it hold attention better than many conventional midsize trucks. Still, resale will depend heavily on trim, mileage, condition, and whether the truck has been used hard off-road.

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.

The 2024 Gladiator does get some meaningful safety upgrades. Starting with the Sport S, forward-collision warning and adaptive cruise control with full stop capability are standard, and 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, along with front and rear side-curtain airbags embedded in the roll cage. Even so, the rollover rating and the limited standard safety equipment mean you should pay close attention to 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:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.72% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Jeep updated the 2024 Gladiator with minor styling revisions, next-generation infotainment technology, added comfort and convenience features, and new range-topping trim levels.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $32,823, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $36,715 average.
• It blends Wrangler character with open-pickup utility.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $39,317, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $36,715 average.
• It adds special-edition models and standard power windows and door locks on the Sport trim.

The bottom line: The 2024 is the best all-around choice if you want the updated infotainment, added comfort features, and strong used-market availability. If price is your top concern, the 2023 is the better value play, while the 2025 makes sense if you want the newer changes and are willing to pay more.
