Size and Bed Space
The key difference between the new Ram 1500 and the Jeep Gladiator is size. The Ram 1500 is a half-ton or full-size truck, which makes it substantially larger than the midsize Jeep Gladiator. That means that if you're looking for a truck that's easier to maneuver around busy cities like Pittsburgh and Grove City, the Jeep Gladiator may be better for you. The Ram 1500 is ideal for folks who can sacrifice a bit of maneuverability in service of added hauling and towing power, since it has a longer cargo bed.
Power and Capability
The Ram 1500 is the more powerful of these two pickups overall, boasting an impressive Hurricane high-output engine that produces up to 540 horsepower on demand. In fact, when properly equipped, the new Ram 1500 can move payloads of up to 11,610 pounds. That said, the Jeep Gladiator is plenty capable in its own right. With plenty of rugged Trail Rated™ equipment, 4x4 capability, and even rugged trims like the Rubicon, the new Jeep Gladiator is the superior truck for drivers from Hermitage to Butler who love off-road adventuring.
Features and Tech
One of our favorite things about the new Jeep Gladiator is the similarities it has to its sibling in the Jeep Brand lineup, the Jeep Wrangler. With its removable roof and doors, the new Jeep Gladiator is perfect for folks who want to indulge in open air driving around the greater Franklin and Titusville, PA areas in the summertime.
On the other hand, if it's cutting edge tech you're looking for, the new Ram 1500 is certain to impress. With features like its UConnect system, hands-free driving assist for thousands of miles of compatible highways across the country, and even dual wireless charging pads in its cabin, the new Ram 1500 is packed with great features for tech lovers throughout the greater Meadville area
