Ready for adventures, the 2025 Jeep Gladiator is ​the best truck for exploring Florida’s national parks. It is also the only pickup with removable doors and roof, providing an open-air experience you won’t get elsewhere.

Meet the 2025 Jeep Gladiator

The 2025 Gladiator is one of the most rugged pickup trucks. Like its predecessor, this model is heavily inspired by Jeep’s original military vehicles, boasting retro-looking styling and impressive off-roading capability. It comes in nine trim levels, most of them made for specific types of terrains. For instance, the all-new Big Bear trim level is a tribute to Big Bear, California, a territory known for its challenging trails.

Similarly, the Mojave is optimized for driving on sand, whereas the Rubicon can explore the most rugged trails. For a mix of asphalt and off-road driving, you can’t go wrong with one of the entry models, such as the Sport or the Nighthawk. No matter which Gladiator model you choose, you can expect responsive handling on all terrains and a comfortable driving experience.

Trail Rated Performance

Jeep equips the new Gladiator with its popular 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission designed to adapt shift points based on driving conditions for optimized performance on various terrains and outstanding efficiency. This system produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque for a standard towing capacity of 6,000 lbs, which can be boosted to a maximum of 7,700 lbs with optional equipment.

You can also enjoy a payload of up to 1,725 lbs, the best payload in the small pickup segment. With these specs, you can confidently haul heavy loads across the country or up a mountain trail. Each of the Gladiator’s trim levels also boasts the Trail Rated badge, meaning you can expect exceptional articulation, handling, and ground clearance. This truck also boasts water fording capability so you can drive through streams and creeks.

Practical and Comfortable Interior 

The new Gladiator pairs the rugged exterior with a practical interior designed for passenger comfort. A removable top and removable doors allow you to enjoy an open-air experience like no other, helping you live each adventure to the fullest. Two rows of seats offer room for up to five adults with ample lounge areas both at the front and at the back.

Both front seats boast directional control for customized comfort, while the rear passengers get three head restraints and plenty of legroom to stretch throughout the journey. Premium cloth upholstery comes standard, keeping the cabin easy to clean while boosting its aesthetic appeal. A 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen completes the interior design and provides access to connectivity and entertainment.

Rugged and ready for adventures, the 2025 Gladiator is one of the best trucks for explorers. Visit us at Murray CDJR of Starke in Starke, FL to take it for a spin.
