Jeep also offers three upfit packages (Upcountry, Upcountry+, and Level II) from American Expedition Vehicles, aimed at making these vehicles even more capable off-road. We’ve touched on this in a separate article.
On the safety front, the Gladiator has taken a big step forward. For 2024, first- and second-row side curtain airbags are standard on all models, along with second-row outboard seatbelts with pre-tensioners and load limiters. Furthermore, Jeep has made structural improvements to the Gladiator for superior protection in side-impact collision.
Active safety has also been enhanced. All models (except the entry-level Sport) receive forward collision warning and advanced cruise control. The plusher Mojave X and Rubicon X derivatives receive standard blind-spot assist, cross-path detection, and rear park assistance. These features are available optionally on the Sport S, Willys, Mojave, and Rubicon grades.
If you’re interested, order books for the 2024 Gladiator are now open. The first vehicles are expected to hit American Jeep dealerships before year-end, with pricing to be announced closer to the time.
