The redesigned front grille of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler has been incorporated into the mid-size pickup truck, which is now available for configuration in the United States starting at $37,895 (plus $1,895 for the destination fee). The minimum price for the Sport grade is $39,790. If you opt for the Rubicon X, it will cost you at least $64,890.
However, the price is expected to increase next year. According to the agreement between the UAW and Stellantis in November 2023, the Wrangler 4xe will receive an upgrade in 2025. In addition, a Gladiator 4xe will be produced in Toledo next year, and the JL Wrangler will be replaced by the J70 Wrangler in 2028. Stellantis has confirmed that the upcoming J70 will feature battery-electric and range-extended electric powertrains.
Now let’s focus on the 2024 model year Gladiator. Compared to the Wrangler 4xe, the Gladiator offers 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet (353 Nm) of torque, while the Wrangler 4xe provides 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet (637 Nm) of torque. It is highly likely that the 2025 upgrade will surpass the 400s in terms of horsepower, but 375 is already more than sufficient as long as Stellantis can improve the driving range.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s estimates for 2024, the Gladiator can travel 22 miles (35 kilometers) solely on electric power from the Pentastar six. When the combustion engine, starter generator, and traction motor work together, the fuel efficiency is equivalent to 49 miles per gallon (4.8 liters per 100 kilometers).
For those interested in the Sport grade, which is known for its compatibility with aftermarket modifications, it comes with 17-inch steel wheels, 32-inch tires, a high-quality canvas top, side curtain airbags for both the front and rear rows, fog lamps, eight audio speakers, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a 2.72:1 transfer case. If you upgrade to the Sport S, you will also get power door locks and windows, keyless entry, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning.
The Willys and Mojave variants are both based on the Sport S and are highly capable off-road vehicles. The Willys, for instance, is equipped with a rear locking differential, while the Mojave features a selectable high-speed rear locker, FOX internal bypass shocks and hydro jounce bumpers, high-clearance fender flares, rock rails, and more aggressive front seat bolsters.
The 2024 Jeep Gladiator is now available at dealerships across the country and comes in a total of nine paint colors. The options include Anvil, Hydro Blue, High Velocity, Bright White, Black, Silver Zynith, Granite Crystal, and Firecracker Red. All grades come with the Uconnect 5 system, and navigation is standard on the Mojave X, Rubicon, and Rubicon X. Uconnect 5 offers over-the-air software updates, a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to eight devices, and up to seven USB ports.
Sport, Willys, Mojave, and Rubicon models have the potential to be enhanced by Jeep dealers through upfit packages provided by American Expedition Vehicles. The most intense package is known as Level II. Specifically designed for the Rubicon and Rubicon X, the Level II package enhances the vehicle’s off-road capabilities by adding 37-inch BFGs, a winch, Savegre II wheels, and various other upgrades.
