Jeep Wrangler vs Jeep Gladiator: Which Off-Road Warrior is Your Ideal Model
If you're a fan of Jeep models? Looking for a new one for your off-road adventures? If you live near Pawleys Island, there are two stellar options at our dealership - the new Jeep Wrangler and the new Jeep Gladiator. While both models share Jeep's legendary 4x4 DNA, there are several differences between these models, so let's take a closer look at what's offered.
Performance
Drivers in Myrtle Beach who are looking for classic Jeep style and go-anywhere capability will love the 2026 Wrangler. Powering this model is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The V6 delivers 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft of torque, while the 2.0-liter turbo provides 270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft of torque.
For those in Andrews needing a pickup truck utility combined with Jeep off-road prowess, the 2026 Gladiator is an excellent choice. Gladiator shares the same engine options as the Wrangler but also offers a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 with 260 horsepower and 442 lb.-ft of torque for even greater hauling and towing capability. An available spray-in bedliner and trailer hitch boost Gladiator's capability and durability. Gladiator's longer wheelbase even gives it an edge in high-speed desert running and rock crawling, while Wrangler's more compact proportions make it more maneuverable on tight, technical trails.
Exterior Style
The 2026 Wrangler stays true to its roots with round headlamps, a seven-slot grille, trapezoid wheel flares, and removable doors and top for an immersive open-air experience. The Gladiator shares the Wrangler's front styling but adds a five-foot steel bed for hauling gear and supplies.
Both models offer a folding windshield, removable top, and doors for an unfiltered connection with the great outdoors. Wrangler and Gladiator also provide a variety of wheel designs and sizes, as well as appearance packages like the Willys and Rubicon, to customize your Jeep's look.
Interior Style
Inside, both the Wrangler and Gladiator are nearly identical, featuring a horizontal dash with bold round vents, grab handles, and an available 8.4-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 4C NAV. The Gladiator offers a bit more rear legroom to accommodate taller passengers, and both models provide a wealth of available comfort and convenience amenities like heated leather seats, automatic climate control, and a premium Alpine audio system.
The Wrangler and Gladiator also offer a removable Bluetooth wireless speaker, a lockable glove box, and a hidden in-floor storage compartment. Wherever your adventures take you in Georgetown, the Wrangler and Gladiator will keep you connected.
Technology
The 2026 Wrangler and Gladiator come packed with advanced technology features to enhance your driving experience. The available Uconnect 4C NAV system includes an 8.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. A seven-inch digital cluster display provides customizable vehicle information, while a forward-facing TrailCam off-road camera helps you navigate obstacles on the trail. Wrangler and Gladiator also offer keyless entry, push-button start, and a premium Alpine audio system with a subwoofer and a portable Bluetooth speaker.
Safety Features
When it comes to standard and available safety tech, both Wrangler and Gladiator impress with features like blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning.
