With an overall Carivo score of 6.8/10, the 2022 Jeep Gladiator earns a Good rating among the trucks we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Reliability at 9.0/10, while Technology at 7.1/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional truck — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate the Jeep Gladiator's reliability at 9.0/10 — among the strongest in our truck database, reflecting the nameplate's track record and recall history. Safety is a strength too — 8.8/10 by our scoring. As with any car, verify the official ratings for your specific trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.
Performance lands mid-pack at 7.1/10: enough power and composure for everyday needs, without the dynamics that distinguish the segment's driver-focused options. Technology comes in at 7.1/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $37,628–$48,399, 17 MPG, seating 5, the Jeep Gladiator sits in the mid-market bracket of the truck segment. The 8.0/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this truck delivers more than most of the class. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.
Bottom line: There's a case for the 2022 Jeep Gladiator, but it needs the right buyer. and several higher-rated rivals sell for similar money — comparison-shop before committing.
