2024 Jeep Gladiator Fuel Efficiency Guide

With its exceptional off-road capability and unique design, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is a one-of-a-kind truck that catches eyes everywhere it goes. It gets an updated look for this model year, and you can expect it to perform better than ever when you hit the trails. As a Jeep enthusiast, we know you want a vehicle that offers power and agility on all your off-roading adventures, and the Gladiator won’t disappoint. We’re here to share the details about the Jeep Gladiator’s fuel efficiency and performance options so you can decide whether this is the truck for you.

Engine Option

For the 2024 model year, the Jeep Gladiator has a single-engine option. So, under the hood of every trim level, you’ll get a stout 3.6-liter V-6 engine that pumps out a thrilling 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission puts you in complete control of your driving experience, but if you prefer an automatic tranny, an eight-speed gearbox is available. Either way, this truck has all the power you need to make the most of any ride through Cortlandt, New York, and beyond.

Performance Features

The off-road capabilities of the Gladiator are sure to impress, but this truck has many performance features and upgrades that will help you take your adventures to the next level. It sits up high on 17-inch wheels in various styles that let you customize the look of your pickup. You’ll get as much as 11.1 inches of ground clearance, so you won’t have to worry about getting over obstacles that appear on the trail ahead. Jeep’s four-wheel-drive system gives your Gladiator’s wheels the grip they need to get over any terrain you encounter in New York.

Thanks to its exceptional maneuverability and articulation, the Gladiator can quickly get around tight spots and over uneven surfaces without breaking a sweat. The truck features front and rear locking differentials that let you keep your momentum without sacrificing traction, and there’s a 4HI mode you can use at higher speeds that lets you lock the rear axle in place. A sway bar disconnect is available for those needing improved front wheel articulation. Two tow hooks up front, and one in the rear means you can help other off-roaders who get into trouble on the trail.

Opt for the Rubicon trim to get additional off-road features that further enhance the capabilities of the Gladiator. This model has a Rock-Trac four-wheel-drive system that offers a 4:1 low-range transfer case for precision control when crawling over challenging obstacles. You’ll also get steel rock rails that protect the truck in extreme conditions.

Jeep Gladiator Fuel Efficiency

For its size and excellent off-road performance, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator mpg is decent. The V-6 engine can return up to 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway with the manual transmission. Equipping the truck with the automatic gearbox pushes the city mpg up to 17 but highway efficiency drops slightly to 22 mpg. If your truck offers this option, you can remove the doors and roof of the Gladiator when the weather in Cortlandt allows. This can help reduce weight, which may ultimately decrease your truck’s fuel consumption.

The 22-gallon fuel tank holds plenty of gas, so you can stick to the trails longer. It’s protected by steel skid plates covering the transfer case and other components under the truck, allowing you to confidently take to the trails.

Unfortunately, the EPA doesn’t rate fuel economy when driving off-road, but you may notice a slight drop in efficiency when you drive on rough terrain. Things like keeping your tires properly inflated and having regularly scheduled maintenance performed by our expert service technicians can help you get the best fuel economy in your Gladiator.

Balancing Power With an Efficient Design

While off-road performance may be your focus when deciding whether to buy a new Jeep Gladiator, we understand that its efficiency can help solidify your decision. The Gladiator features a new hood design for this model year, giving it a rounded look. These new curves help with airflow and aerodynamics, increasing the truck’s fuel efficiency on any surface in and around Cortlandt.

Of course, you don’t have to sacrifice power for efficiency with the Gladiator, as this truck can tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped. This means the Gladiator leads the pack in towing capacity. You must have the Max Towing Package on the Sport S trims to get the highest tow rating. You can also get the trailer sway control feature that lets you brake with individual wheels to keep your load steady. This can give you peace of mind when you’re pulling a trailer.

In the Gladiator’s 5-foot truck bed, you won’t have any trouble loading all your gear. It has a maximum payload capacity of 1,725 pounds, a class-leading figure. The three-position tailgate lets you adjust it to suit your needs, and the rugged steel box is durable so you’ll feel comfortable loading up everything from camping gear to dirt bikes.
