2023 Jeep Gladiator price and specs revealed

For 2023, the Jeep Gladiator undergoes a price adjustment along with several notable updates in its feature lineup.

For the year 2023, the Jeep Gladiator has undergone a price adjustment accompanied by a series of minor modifications.

The 2023 Jeep Gladiator lineup has been condensed to include only the Night Eagle model, while the Rubicon model has seen an increased payload capacity.

From July 1 of the previous year, Jeep had elevated the prices for the Night Eagle and Rubicon models to $73,450 and $82,450 before on-road costs, signifying an approximately $3000 hike for both.

For 2023, the prices have surged yet again to $78,250 and $87,250 excluding on-road costs – a jump of $4800. When compared to their respective prices in 2021, they have risen by $9,800 and $10,300.

Subtle changes have also been incorporated into both the Night Eagle and Rubicon models.

The Night Eagle now features a steering wheel wrapped in leatherette instead of traditional leather, and its 650 Amp battery has been replaced with a more robust 700 Amp one.

In the Rubicon model, the previous Fox shocks have been swapped out for Tenneco ones, and 17-inch machined black wheels have taken the place of the polished black ones.

The Rubicon also forgoes the Black/Dark Saddle interior option in its latest release.

While the front axle disconnect is no longer an available feature, it continues to feature front and rear electronically locking differentials along with a sway bar disconnect. Jeep has also confirmed that the fuel economy remains unaffected.
