The Gladiator enters its fourth model year in 2022 with several updates, but no major revisions.

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator is available in the following trim levels: Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Altitude, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave, and High Altitude.

New for 2022, look for Uconnect 4 with a 7-inch touchscreen standard on Sport to replace the Uconnect 3 previously offered with a 5-inch radio. Uconnect 4C, with an 8.4-inch screen, navigation, and nine Alpine speakers, is now standard on Overland, Rubicon, and Mojave trims. Remote Proximity Keyless Entry becomes standard on Overland, Rubicon, and Mojave. All Gladiators feature a new standard cabin filter that removes 95% of air particulates. And for 2022, the new Silver Zynith color replaces Billet Silver.

As it was last year, the Gladiator is again available with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine or a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel.

The Gladiator pickup—the only pickup available with a removable top and doors—has a five-link suspension system, solid axles, and available electronic differential lockers. It’s available with a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic in every trim.

Technology features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment. Safety features include standard electronic stability control (ESC), electronic roll mitigation, trailer-sway control, hill-start assist, and brake traction control. Optional features include blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection, adaptive cruise control, and forward-collision warning.

Gladiator models have a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,700 pounds, and up to 7,650 pounds of towing capacity with the available Max Towing Package.

The Mojave trim has high-performance FOX 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks with reservoirs and FOX front hydraulic jounce bumpers to maximize handling, in addition to a rear locking differential and 33-inch tires. Mojave models also boast an approach angle of 43.6 degrees, a breakover angle of 20.3 degrees, a departure angle of 26 degrees, and ground clearance of 11.1 inches, along with up to 30 inches of water-fording capability.

Sport and Overland trims include the Command-Trac NV241 part-time, two-speed transfer case, with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. A Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential is optional.

The Rubicon trim is exclusively offered with the Rock-Trac NV241OR two-speed transfer case with a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio, along with electric front and rear locking differentials, a disconnecting front sway bar, off-road winch-capable bumpers with removable end caps, and 33-inch tires.

All trims are standard with a full-time two-speed transfer case. A Selec-Trac transfer case with full-time four-wheel drive and a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio is available on Sport, Overland, and Mojave.

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator starts at $36,480 for the Sport trim. Overland models start at $44,475, Rubicon at $48,025, and the range-topping High Altitude trim starts at $53,170.
