Production of the refreshed 2024 Jeep Gladiator pickup began earlier this month; the first Trail Rated pickups with the new-ish face and new interior tech are reaching dealerships around the country now. According to a contact within the brand, the 2024 Gladiator is “starting to trickle” to dealerships, so your local Jeep store may not have any in stock yet, but it is only a matter of time before they are readily available from coast to coast.
2024 Jeep Gladiator Changes
At a passing glance, many people might mistake the 2024 Jeep Gladiator for a 2023 model, as they look pretty similar from the outside. The seven slot grille has been tweaked a bit for the 2024, the whip antenna has been replaced by an antenna that is integrated into the windshield, and there are seven new wheel options.
The interior is where the 2024 Jeep Gladiator differs the most from the 2023 model year. The most noticeable change is the new 12.3-inch infotainment screen that stretches horizontally across the dashboard, leading to new, slimmer central HVAC vents as well. That screen features the UConnect 5 system, complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, as well as the handy Jeep Adventure Guide program – which is essentially off-road navigation for many of the most popular trails in the United States. Other new tech features include standard adaptive cruise control on Sport S trim levels and above, acoustic glass, extra sound insulation and an improved microphone setup for the hands-free phone system.
Next, select models are available with 12-way power seats with electrical components that are protected from any water or mud that might get under the seat during off-road shenanigans. There are also new standard curtain airbags, improved side-impact protection and improved seatbelt tension systems for the rear outboard positions. Blind-spot,cross-path detection and ParkSense rear park-assist system come standard on premium models, but they are available on Sport S, Willys, Mojave and Rubicon models.
Finally, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator gets two new trim levels – Mojave X and Rubicon X – which adds standard Nappa leather, the Off-Road+ drive mode, a full-time transfer case, an integrated off-road camera system and steel bumpers (front and rear).
