Jeep Gladiator Performance Overview
Jeep’s pickup-based Gladiator entered production in 2020 to 2024 in JT form, with performance defined more by configuration and powertrain choice than by generational change. Across 13 independently verified tests spanning those model years, the range runs from the 7.2-second 0-60 time of the 2020 Overland Crew Cab (5' Bed) to 8.8 seconds in the 2020 Mojave Crew Cab (5' Bed). Quarter-mile results show the same spread, from a class-leading-for-this-model 15.5 seconds at 89 mph in that Overland to an average of 16.17 seconds at 85.3 mph across the tested field.
Within the single JT generation, the Gladiator evolved through both gasoline and diesel offerings, using naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines across a 260–285 hp range. Early testing established the 2020 Overland Crew Cab (5' Bed) as the benchmark, while diesel variants such as the Overland EcoDiesel and Sport EcoDiesel added a different torque-focused character rather than rewriting the acceleration record. Other key trims, including the 2020 Rubicon Crew Cab (5' Bed) at 7.9 seconds to 60 mph and Mojave X Crew Cab (5' Bed) at 8.0 seconds, place today’s Gladiator in a consistent mid-eight- to high-seven-second window.

How we verify Jeep Gladiator performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Jeep Gladiator trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
