The 2024 Jeep Gladiator is a truck that earns a Carivo score of 7.0/10 — rated Good. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.7/10, while Performance at 7.0/10 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. The reliability picture is solid rather than spectacular: 7.3/10, which puts it comfortably above the class median. On safety, it scores 8.7/10 in our assessment. Always confirm the official crash-test results for your exact trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.
With 7.0/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. At 7.5/10 for technology, the infotainment and driver-assist package does its job without setting benchmarks — check which features cost extra on lower trims.
Priced from $40,030–$46,702, 19 MPG, seating 5, the Jeep Gladiator sits in the mid-market bracket of the truck segment. At 7.6/10 for value, it delivers fair pricing for what's on offer, though the best alternatives in this price range score slightly higher. At 2 years old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Verdict: The 2024 Jeep Gladiator sits in the middle of the field. Worth a look if it fits a specific need; otherwise use our compare tool against the segment leaders first.
