Most drivers know the Gladiator as the only open-air pickup truck on the market, but there’s more to this beast than meets the eye. One lesser-known perk is its full-body water fording capability—up to 31.5 inches—thanks to carefully sealed electrical systems and a high air intake. That’s a big deal when desert monsoons turn washes into streams or you’re off-roading through rocky, uneven terrain near Yucca Valley’s backroads.

Another underappreciated feature is its removable panels and fold-down windshield, giving you a true open-sky experience that’s rare in any pickup segment. And while it’s rugged, the Gladiator’s ride quality surprises many first-time drivers. Its five-link rear suspension smooths out the bumps so you can take on Highway 62 or the winding roads toward Big Bear with control and comfort. Overall, there is a lot to like about the Jeep Gladiator, and plenty of reasons why it earned its place at the top of midsize pickup trucks in J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study.*
