Jeep Gladiator Engine Specs

When you choose the Jeep Gladiator, you’ll have the choice of two powerhouse engines. Either option will give you the capability you need to hit the trails with confidence. To help you decide which engine option is right for you, here are the two Jeep Gladiator engine specs:

3.0L EcoDiesel V6 Engine:

  • 260 horsepower
  • 442 lb-ft of torque
  • 22 mpg city/28 mpg highway
  • 6,500 pounds of towing capacity

3.6L Pentastar® V6 Engine

  • 285 horsepower
  • 260 lb-ft of torque
  • 17 mpg city/22 mpg highway
  • 7,650 pounds of towing capacity

The Jeep Gladiator mpg is more efficient with the 3.0L V6 engine, but the 3.6L V6 offers a little more towing power for those longer Tinley Park trips.
