Should I buy a used Jeep Gladiator now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Jeep offers a single powertrain for the 2025 Gladiator, so we hope you like it. The tried and true Chrysler Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 engine generates 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, and uses an eight-speed automatic transmission to power the wheels. According to the EPA, every version of the Gladiator should get 19 mpg combined.

• Starting price: Base prices range from $38,695 to $61,695 plus a $1,995 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
