In addition to making plenty of off-road-ready capability, owners of the 2022 Gladiator will see some new technology and other features added to the lineup.

How Do I Get the Best 2022 Gladiator Towing Capacity?
When a future 2022 Jeep Gladiator owner is working to outfit their purchase with a Finch Chrysler product expert, they will need to work together to understand how important towing will be. While every 2022 Gladiator has strong towing capabilities, some models will be able to tow more than others, depending on the engine and transmission chosen and the axle gear ratio. Several of the most important choices to maximize towing capacity will come with a specific trim grade choice.
For instance, the Gladiator Sport can be equipped with either engine and available transmission options. When the base model Gladiator Sport is equipped with the 3.6-litre, V-6, six-speed manual transmission, and 3.73 axle ratio, it can tow up to 1,817 kg (4,000 lbs.). However, using the same engine combined with the eight-speed automatic and 4.10 axle ratio will give the Gladiator Sport a max towing capacity of 3,470 kg (7,650 lbs.), the maximum towing capacity offered by the Jeep midsize truck.
