Exterior Design
From the front, both vehicles are incredibly similar in appearance. A boxy front-end with LED headlamps and those button-style door handles is iconic and screams Jeep. The major difference between the two is, of course, the fact that the Jeep Gladiator is a truck, so you'll find a five-foot bed attached to the cabin. Both vehicles offer a top that can be removed with a folding windshield for those who truly want to venture off the beaten path. However, a key difference is the fact that the Wrangler is available with soft or hard top and with either two or four doors, but every Jeep Gladiator comes with four doors and a hardtop, which can be customized to be removable.
Interior Design
The Jeep Wrangler offers eight trim levels, while the Jeep Gladiator offers ten, so you'll get a few more interior amenity optimization features with the truck. Inside both vehicles, drivers will enjoy a large dashboard with an upright design that's sporty and geared towards off-roading. In other words, many of the knobs, dials, buttons, and switches are rubberized or waterproofed for when you pop the doors off and go for an adventure. Both models are known for offering a base model void of many luxuries to add to the vintage styling of this iconic model, but plenty of contemporary technology features are present throughout both lineups if you want touchscreens, smartphone connectivity, and cabin comfort perks. Perhaps the biggest difference in interior design is that the Jeep Wrangler can be equipped as a two-door model for those who prefer it. Plus, if you opt for the four-door Wrangler, you can expect more second-row legroom than the Jeep Gladiator, which comes standard with five seats.
