2021 Jeep Gladiator: Sport vs Rubicon | Kenosha, WI

They say lightning never strikes the same place twice. Jeep begs to differ. Few vehicles are as iconic as the Jeep Wrangler, thanks to its distinctive design and unapologetically dominant 4x4 drivetrain. The Jeep Gladiator builds off of the Wrangler base, literally. It’s a truck version of the Wrangler. But which Gladiator model is worth getting? Let’s take a look.

Today, we’re comparing two 2021 Jeep Gladiator trims: the entry-level Sport and the off-road Rubicon.  Below, you’ll find a table comparing price, powertrain specs, and fuel economy for each trim. Beneath that, you’ll see the features that separates each model. Which model do you prefer?
