,The desert is an unforgiving environment where only those who are fully prepared should go. Vehicles carrying the Desert Rated badge have been tested on the sand and dunes to prove their ability to handle the intense heat, intrusive sand and harsh, unpredictable driving conditions.

TRACTION
Traction is key when off-roading so that every wheel works to drive the truck forward. Jeep® Brand 4x4 systems help to ensure the right tire has traction when it’s needed.
WATER FORDING
The Trail Rated® Jeep® Gladiator features a high air intake and special water sealing to help get you through creeks, streams and depths of up to 30 inches.
MANEUVERABILITY
Thanks to precision steering and optimized wheelbases, the Gladiator can swiftly veer around narrow gaps and maneuver around rocks, logs or tights spots.
ARTICULATION
Higher levels of articulation help keep all four tires on the ground to help ensure they remain stable and engaged.
GROUND CLEARANCE
Rubicon models getup to 11.1-inches of ground clearance between the underside of the truck and the terrain so you can drive over obstacles with confidence.
ADVANCED CAPABILITY WITH OFF-ROAD+
Fine-tune your adventure with Off-Road+. With a push of the button, you can adjust throttle, transmission shift points and traction control for peak performance on higher speed passes on sand dunes or low-speed rock crawling.
HEAVY-DUTY DANA® 44 AXLES
The heavy-duty Dana® 44 front and rear solid axles on the Gladiator have extra-thick tubes and forgings for exceptional strength, rigidity and durability.
OFF-ROAD STAPLES
Off-road necessities like heavy-duty forged front and rear tow hooks are perfect for helping less-capable trucks get out of trouble.
