What is the lifespan of a Jeep Gladiator?
When determining the lifespan of a new Gladiator, the best comparison you’ll find is the Wrangler, who it shares a platform with. Vehicle History says to expect a life expectancy of 200,000 miles and around 14 years of use with decent maintenance. They do note, though, that offroading is going to cause these figures to take a hit, so it’s best to take care when offroading the Gladiator.
How many miles per gallon does a Jeep Gladiator get?
The Gladiator shares an engine with the Wrangler, and given its larger size, the 2025 Gladiator is estimated to eke out around 17 mpg in the city, 22 mpg on the highway, and around 19 mpg combined. In Car and Driver’s fuel economy test, they found that the Overland trim performed the best, returning 21 combined mpg, but that the off road oriented Mojave returned a much lower 15 mpg. They do note that the Mojave’s larger tires and higher axle likely had an impact on this figure, though. For more information about the Gladiator's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
