The 2022 Jeep Gladiator: It's a truck, it's a Jeep, it's two adventures in one
Is it possible to have the off-road capability you find in wilderness heroes like the Jeep Wrangler and still get the versatility of a pickup? It is if you get the new 2022 Jeep Gladiator at Canandaigua Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, not far from Auburn, NY in Canandaigua, NY. Along with its amazing pickup talents, the new 2022 Gladiator has the kind of remove-able doors and roof as the Wrangler along with higher maximum towing capacity.
Overview for 2022
For Jeep lovers, the chance to have Wrangler-style off-road cred with the endless hauling possibilities of a really rugged pickup must seem almost too good to be true. The truth becomes even more remarkable when you find that the 2022 Jeep Gladiator can tow a full two tons more than the legendary Jeep Wrangler. Add a versatile cargo bed and the dream is larger than life. The Gladiator's longer wheel-base even gives you a smoother ride.
Performance
The new 2022 Jeep Gladiator will impress our Jeep and pickup friends in Rochester and Newark NY with its standard 3.6-liter V6 engine that pumps out 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. You can choose the fun-to-drive standard six-speed manual transmission or go with theavailable eight-speed automatic. If you like the economy and durability of a diesel, the Gladiator V6 diesel provides 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque.
Going off the map
The 2022 Jeep Gladiator won't need any apologies for its off-road prowess. After all, it's a Jeep and it demonstrates that repeatedly with awe-inspiring features like big-time skid plates for protection on the under-side. Axle ratios are credible enough to take you rock-crawling and you can ford as much as 30 inches of water. Ground clearance is generous and the approach and departure angles help you navigate the gnarliest terrain.
Towing and payload
True to its remarkable split personality, the Jeep Gladiator is just as impressive in towing as it is going off the beaten path. Equipped properly, the 2022 Jeep Gladiator can tow up to 7,650 pounds. Even the least-capable Gladiator model can tow a trailer weighing 4,000 pounds, compared with the Jeep Wrangler's best towing max of 3,500 pounds. How much can you haul in the bed? How does up to 1,700 pounds sound?
Safety
With several available driver-assist systems, the Gladiator can do a great job of keeping you and your passengers safe. When blind-spot monitoring is on, the truck can watch out for vehicles that you may not be able to see. Adaptive cruise control can monitor the speed of the vehicle in front of you; if it slows down, your truck will automatically slow down, too. Forward collision warning is another available system, and it comes with emergency braking to hopefully prevent you from running into the vehicle in front of you.
Performance
Two engines are available with the Jeep Gladiator, one of which is a diesel. Specifically, it's a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 that has excellent torque and pretty good fuel efficiency. If you prefer using regular gasoline, there's a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. It will give you 285 horsepower and a towing capacity of over 7,500 pounds.
