Are you looking for a compact pickup with an impressive towing capacity, plenty of space for your cargo, and a pair of powerful engine options under the hood? The Jeep Gladiator with its wide range of trims, covering everything from a basic truck to an off-roading specialist, could be just right for you. The Gladiator High Altitude trim stands out as the top-of-the-range model, making it the perfect choice if you want to combine luxury with utility. Here's a quick overview of what makes the High Altitude unique in the Gladiator lineup. more What Makes the Jeep Gladiator High Altitude Stand Out? Positioned at the top of the trim ladder, the Jeep Gladiator High Altitude offers you an unparalleled choice of interior features for your truck. You get leather upholstery and side steps to make getting in and out that bit easier. The High Altitude rides on 20-inch alloy wheels, which are larger than the Gladiator's other trims. In addition, the Gladiator High Altitude comes with a hardtop roof, LED headlights, and fog lights. Some driver safety features are offered as standard in the High Altitude. These include rear parking sensors, which can make it a lot easier when you're reversing your pickup into a tight parking space. You also have access to blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, two features that can help prevent collisions with other vehicles. Jeep Gladiator High Altitude Engine and Performance Specs You can choose from two engines for your High Altitude. The first is a 3.6-liter V-6 unit that churns out 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine gives you plenty of power for driving in all conditions, whether you're heading across town, traveling on the highway, or riding off-road. A 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine is also available, and it can put out 260 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. If you do a lot of towing, the additional torque may come in handy. The turbo diesel also offers a slightly better fuel economy. The gas-powered engine achieves a gas mileage of 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. The turbo diesel engine's combined fuel economy is 25 mpg. When it comes to towing, the High Altitude's capacity is an impressive 6,000 pounds. That's more than enough to haul a decent-sized camper, trailer, or boat for a weekend trip. The Gladiator is great for off-roading with its four-wheel drive, sturdy suspension that can ease out rough terrain, and low-range gears. If you're a serious off-roader, you may prefer the Rubicon trim to the High Altitude. The Rubicon includes shock absorbers, all-terrain tires, and a sway bar to improve articulation over rocks and other large items. Jeep Gladiator High Altitude Interior The Jeep Gladiator is a four-door pickup with seating for five people. At the rear, you get a cargo bed measuring 5 feet in length. The sides of the cargo bed are quite low, making it easy to load items or remove them from your truck. Both rows of seating provide plenty of room for adult passengers. You can enjoy 41 inches of legroom up front and a roomy 38 inches in the rear row. If you need to install child seating in the second row, you'll find two sets of LATCH connectors for the outermost seats and a tether anchor for the middle seat. Gladiator Infotainment and Safety Features As you'd expect from a range-topping trim, the Gladiator High Altitude delivers an impressive infotainment experience. You access Jeep's infotainment system through an 8.4-inch screen and can enjoy your favorite music with a nine-speaker premium stereo. Other standard features include Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and USB ports. Finding your way to your next destination is made easy thanks to the standard navigation system. The High Altitude is equipped with an array of driver assistance features. Forward collision warning with emergency braking can alert you to potential accidents and bring your vehicle to a swift stop when necessary. Adaptive cruise control can adjust your speed on the highway so that you maintain a safe distance between your Gladiator and other motorists. Regular off-roaders will make good use of the forward-facing camera to keep an eye on the terrain. Other Jeep Gladiator Trims The High Altitude is the top trim in a lineup that includes eight others. The Gladiator trims, from lowest to highest, are Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Altitude, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave, and High Altitude. The base Sport trim is ideal if you want a pickup with a functional design that still has plenty of off-roading features, including skid plates and part-time four-wheel drive. The Overland trim adds some extra luxuries to the cabin, such as a larger screen, a navigation system, and automatic climate control. The Mojave trim is a very capable off-roader like the Rubicon, but its focus is more on high-speed off-roading rather than rock crawling. As you can see, the 2022 Gladiator has a diverse lineup of vehicles that includes something for everyone. The High Altitude is a particularly good choice if you want an upscale feel to your cabin, all the tech options offered in the Gladiator, and a capable engine that can tow or haul a heavy load.
