Jeep is giving the 2025 Gladiator a more sinister and aggressive appearance with the new Dark Sky edition. The 2025 Jeep Gladiator Dark Sky gives almost a blacked-out look with its new body color fender flares and dark badges and decals. Dark Sky expands Jeep’s lineup of special-edition Gladiators, creating more straight-from-the-factory personalization for 2025.

The Jeep Gladiator Dark Sky is equipped with heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles, with front axle disconnect, transmission and transfer case skid plates, plus 10 inches of standard ground clearance.
Jeep Gladiator is engineered from the ground up to be the most off-road capable Jeep truck ever, building on Jeep’s heritage of tough, dependable Jeep pickup trucks with unmatched rugged utility, authentic Jeep design, open-air freedom, clever functionality and versatility.
Said Mike Hanley, Cars.com senior road test editor: "The Jeep Gladiator brings the impressive off-road capability of the brand's Wrangler SUV to the midsize pickup class. With a Mojave version that's designed to go fast on desert trails and a Rubicon model made for rock crawling, you can get far off the beaten path in a Gladiator, and with the pickup's removable roof and doors you can get closer than ever to the outdoors. It's these attributes and more that make this Jeep our Top Pick among off-road midsize trucks."
The Jeep Gladiator features a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, rated at 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2025 Jeep Gladiator delivers unmatched capability with best-in-class 4x4 max towing of up to 7,700 pounds and best-in-class payload of up to 1,725 pounds. The Gladiator is also available with Jeep's exclusive 4xe plug-in hybrid option.
Gladiator is the only pickup truck in the industry with a folding windshield, three removable roof choices and removal doors.
