We stock our new inventory with a wide selection of popular Jeeps, such as the flagship 2023 Wrangler and the newly added 2023 Gladiator. Although the Wrangler is an SUV model and the Gladiator is a mid-size pickup truck, they both handle off-road terrain easily, but they also have their differences. Visit our showroom today to explore these Jeeps, and let us show you how they stack up against each other.

Engine Options & Towing Capacity Comparison

The 2023 Wrangler gives you four powertrain conjugations to choose from while building your dream Jeep, including the standard 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine that pairs with a standard six-speed manual transmission. You can also find a variant of the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque, which pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Regardless, the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine delivers output figures of 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Opting for the available 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine brings 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Maximum output is exclusive to the 6.4-litre HEMI V8 engine that's only available for the Rubicon 392 trim level, cranking out a healthy output of 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

On the other hand, the 2023 Gladiator is only available with two powertrains, a standard gasoline V6 engine like the Wranlger and an optional diesel V6 option. With the standard 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine, you can equip the standard six-speed manual or the eight-speed automatic transmission. The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine can deliver 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque in all configurations. Upgrading to the optional 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 engine provides 260 horsepower and an incredible 442 lb-ft of torque.

    Off-Road Capability & Features Comparison

    The 2023 Wrangler continues to dominate the competition within its segment thanks to its excellent standard off-road offerings that support its capability. However, the Rubicon trims bring ultimate off-road worthiness with their extensive selection of additional options. With the Rubicon trim levels, you will find off-road equipment such as Tru-Lock electronic locking differential, electronic sway bar disconnect, Rock-Trac four-wheel-drive system, Off-Road Plus mode, and 33-inch all-terrain tires. Also, you can opt for the 4-Door Rubicon 392 trim level, which offers FOX shocks, 17-inch bead-lock capable wheels, BSW off-road tires, and Selec-Trac full-time four-wheel-drive system.

    Compared to the new Wrangler, the Gladiator also offers a standard four-wheel-drive drivetrain, but it has a few disadvantages since it's a pickup truck model. Aside from the slight differences in approach angles and other aspects, the new Gladiator is also available with a Rubicon trim level that equips it with more off-road-focused equipment. Those additional offerings of the Rubicon trim level are 33-inch all-terrain tires, Rock-Trac heavy-duty four-wheel-drive system, Tru-Lok axles, and performance shock absorbers.
