The 2021 Jeep Gladiator

Posted on June 24, 2021

The 2021 Jeep Gladiator is a versatile and uniquely styled mid-size pickup truck that is for sale in Waterloo at Bustard Chrysler. Dating back to the early 1960s, the Gladiator made a resurgence with the 2020 model year, being recognized as the 2020 North American Truck of the Year, Popular Mechanics Mid-Size Truck of the Year, and DoubleClutch.ca Truck of the Year.

The 2021 Gladiator simply builds upon this impressive debut with several new features that make the truck more capable than ever. It is the perfect off-road-ready truck for drivers that want something that still performs exceptionally around town and on the highway.

New Features

As Jeep continues to shape the Gladiator into the mid-size truck of drivers' dreams, they added several new features for the 2021 model year.

Jeep introduced two new model configurations to the 2021 Gladiator lineup--an 80th Anniversary Edition and Willys trim.

Off-roading capability also improved for the 2021 model with the addition of available full-time four-wheel-drive on all models, a forward-facing Trailcam, and LED headlamps and foglamps.
