The six-speed manual transmission that was previously standard on the 2025 Jeep Gladiator lineup is being dropped by Jeep. Every Gladiator now comes standard with power windows and locks, just like the Jeep Wrangler. The automatic transmission used to cost $2500, but the Gladiator’s starting price is only $205 more than it was last year ($39,995). With Jeep dropping the third pedal from the 2025 Gladiator lineup, the world of manual pickup trucks has shrunk slightly. Starting in 2025, the eight-speed automatic transmission, which was previously available as an option, will replace the Gladiator’s standard six-speed manual transmission. The automatic gear in a Jeep used to cost $2500 until this year. The Gladiator’s starting price has only gone up by $205, even though the car is basic. Nighthawks now cost $42,790, Sport Ss $43,495, and the first Sports $39,995. It costs $47,000 to upgrade a Willys, and it costs $52,000 to update a Mojave or a Rubicon. Jeep made the Gladiator more modern by giving all of them electric windows and locks and improving the engine. You can now choose from two more paint colours: blue and olive-drab green. The changes are finished off with a new software option that lets owners set the temperature inside the cabin using the Jeep Connect app on their phones. The 2025 Gladiators all have a Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine that makes 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Depending on the trim, you can still carry between 1,105 and 1,725 pounds and pull up to 7,700 pounds.
