Discover the Impressive 4x4 Capability of the Jeep Gladiator Here!
The Jeep Gladiator stands as a powerful testament to Jeep's legacy of delivering rugged, all-terrain vehicles. At Akins Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, we're especially passionate about the Gladiator's impressive 4x4 capabilities. Whether you're tackling challenging trails or navigating through muddy backroads, the Gladiator is built to conquer it all. With its unmatched off-road prowess and outstanding versatility, it's no wonder the Gladiator has become a favorite for those who crave adventure in every drive.
All Gladiator Models Are Jeep Trail Rated
Jeep's Trail Rated program is a rigorous certification that signifies a vehicle's exceptional off-road capabilities, earned through grueling tests in five key categories: traction, water fording, maneuverability, articulation, and ground clearance. All Jeep Gladiator models proudly bear the Trail Rated badge, demonstrating their readiness to tackle diverse terrains and conditions. This comprehensive testing ensures that every Gladiator, from the base model to the top-tier Rubicon, meets Jeep's high standards for off-road performance, providing drivers with confidence and reliability on any adventure.
Tru-Lok Differentials
The Jeep Gladiator offers advanced Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials, enhancing off-road performance by ensuring both wheels on an axle rotate at the same speed, which is crucial when navigating challenging terrains. The rear axle can be locked in 4HI Mode for use at higher speeds, providing added versatility. The front and rear Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials help maintain momentum and traction on rugged terrain. Engaging these locking differentials distributes power evenly to all four wheels, significantly improving traction in low-traction scenarios such as mud, snow, or uneven surfaces. This feature is particularly beneficial for off-road enthusiasts seeking enhanced control and stability during their adventures.
What 4x4 System Comes Standard with the Jeep Gladiator?
The Jeep Gladiator's standard Command-Trac 4x4 system is a part-time four-wheel-drive setup engineered to enhance both off-road capability and on-road comfort. This system allows drivers to switch between two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) on the fly, at speeds up to 55 mph, providing flexibility to adapt to varying road conditions. When engaged, Command-Trac delivers a 50/50 torque split between the front and rear axles, optimizing traction on diverse terrains. For challenging off-road scenarios requiring increased low-end torque, the system offers a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio in 4-LO mode, enhancing the Gladiator's ability to navigate steep inclines and rough landscapes with confidence.
What's Special About Jeep Rock-Trac 4x4?
Exclusive to the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, the Rock-Trac part-time 4x4 system is engineered for exceptional off-road performance. This advanced system features a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, delivering a best-in-class crawl ratio of up to 84:1 with the standard six-speed manual transmission, ensuring precise control over challenging terrains. It also includes the aforementioned Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials, which are crucial when navigating steep inclines or uneven surfaces. Additionally, the Rubicon's front sway bar disconnect feature improves wheel articulation, further bolstering its off-road capabilities.
