Used 2025 Jeep Gladiator for Sale nearDes Moines, IA

How much does the 2025 Jeep Gladiator cost?

Prices have softened 14.32% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,134 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Jeep Gladiator a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Jeep Gladiator earns a 5/5 user rating and a 5.33/10 expert rating. The model scores 7/10 across Look and feel and Form and function.

It stands out because it blends pickup-truck utility with open-air driving and serious off-road ability. That makes it a strong fit if you want something different from a conventional midsize pickup and value the roof-off, doors-off experience.

The trade-offs are clear: Poor fuel economy and uncompetitive towing/payload capacity limit its appeal if you need a more conventional work truck. 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Jeep Gladiator reliable?

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

The Gladiator’s appeal is rooted in its distinctive hardware and purpose-built character, and the expert review describes it as fun to drive and impressive off-road. It also uses a tried-and-true V6 powertrain, which supports a straightforward ownership experience.

Jeep includes complimentary scheduled maintenance during the first two years of ownership, and you also get 24-hour roadside assistance for the duration of the powertrain warranty. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that its specialized setup can mean higher ownership compromises if you expect everyday refinement.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Jeep Gladiator?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a truck that may have seen trail use or heavy towing. Focus on overall condition, signs of hard use, and whether the equipment on the truck matches the trim you want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from the basic Sport to the value-rich Nighthawk, the dull Sport S, the rugged Willys, the Rubicon off-roader, the Mojave desert runner, and the Mojave X and Rubicon X with leather seats and plenty of standard equipment. The base Sport is the one with the strongest towing and payload figures, while the Sport S adds standard power windows and door locks.
• Powertrain: Jeep offers a single powertrain for the 2025 Gladiator: a 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard 4WD. EPA combined fuel economy is 19 mpg.
• Safety package: Starting with the Sport S, the Gladiator has forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control with full-stop capability. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is unavailable on the Sport and Nighthawk, and it is extra-cost on every other trim level except the Mojave X and Rubicon X.
• Infotainment: Every 2025 Gladiator has a Uconnect 5 system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and eight speakers. Navigation adds Jeep Connect services, a WiFi hotspot, Alexa Built-in technology, and integrated Off-Road Trail Guides.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA says every version should get 19 mpg combined, while the Mojave returned 16.2 mpg during testing.

Which 2025 Jeep Gladiator trim should I buy?

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator is offered in 8 trim levels: Sport, Nighthawk, Sport S, Willys, Rubicon, Mojave, Mojave X, and Rubicon X.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, and it’s the trim that gets the Gladiator’s strongest work-truck numbers, including up to 7,700 pounds of towing and 1,725 pounds of payload. It’s the right pick if you want the lowest starting point and care most about the Gladiator’s core utility and open-air character.
• Nighthawk: This value-oriented trim sits above the base model and gives you a more appealing middle ground if you want a little more equipment without jumping to the pricier off-road or luxury-focused versions.
• Sport S: This is the trim to consider if you want the standard convenience and safety upgrades, including power windows and door locks plus forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. It’s the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful everyday equipment without pushing too far up the price ladder.
• Willys: This is the rugged choice if you want a more trail-ready personality than the lower trims, while still staying below the more specialized Rubicon and Mojave models.
• Rubicon: Choose this if off-road capability is your priority and you want the more serious trail-focused setup in the lineup.
• Mojave: This is the desert runner of the lineup, aimed at buyers who want the off-road-tuned suspension and a more specialized character.
• Mojave X: This adds leather seats, more comfort and convenience features, expanded infotainment features, a premium sound system, and other upgrades over the base Mojave. It suits you if you want the most equipped version of the desert-focused model.
• Rubicon X: This is the upscale off-road choice, adding leather seats and plenty of standard equipment for buyers who want capability with more comfort.

Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is unavailable on the Sport and Nighthawk, and it is extra-cost on every other trim level except the Mojave X and Rubicon X.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Jeep Gladiator?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find opportunities.

• Deal availability: 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,134 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.32% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 96.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,466, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Jeep Gladiator's resale value?

The current average of $41,466 sits slightly below last year's $48,394.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more selectively now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, trim, and how well the truck has been maintained.

Because the Gladiator has a distinctive appeal, well-kept examples should continue to attract interest from buyers who want open-air driving and off-road capability. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Jeep Gladiator safe?

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator earns a four-star frontal-impact rating from NHTSA and a three-star rollover resistance rating, while IIHS results were incomplete and the side-impact test result was the only one to earn a Good rating.

It earns a 3/10 safety score from our experts.

Jeep’s driver-assistance suite starts with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control with full-stop capability on the Sport S and above. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is unavailable on the Sport and Nighthawk, and it remains an extra-cost option on most other trims.

That means you should pay close attention to the safety equipment on any used example, especially if you’re comparing lower trims. The Gladiator’s safety story is strongest when the truck is equipped with the available driver-assistance features, but the overall package still trails more safety-focused rivals.

Should I buy a 2025 Jeep Gladiator or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.32% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 model adds special-edition models, new paint colors, and standard power windows and door locks on the Sport trim.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $38,402, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $41,466 average.
• It was updated with minor styling revisions, next-generation infotainment technology, and added comfort and convenience features.

The bottom line: If you want the newest version with the latest updates and a softer market, the 2025 is the better target. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2024 is the smarter value play, especially if you can find one in strong condition with the equipment you want.
