5 Ways the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Is Perfect for a Winter Snowstorm

Winter in New Brunswick demands a vehicle that can handle heavy snow and icy conditions with ease. The 2025 Jeep Gladiator rises to meet these challenges, expertly blending the ruggedness of a pickup truck with Jeep's legendary off-road capabilities. Here's an in-depth look at how this versatile vehicle is specifically built to tackle the harshest winter storms:

1- All-Terrain Capability

The Gladiator's sophisticated 4x4 system delivers unmatched winter performance through four advanced options. The available Selec-Trac full-time transfer case provides continuous monitoring and optimal torque distribution, perfect for varying winter conditions. 

For extreme situations, the Rock-Trac system with its impressive 4:1 low-range ratio ensures superior control on icy inclines. With a best-in-class crawl ratio of 77:1, the Gladiator maintains precise control even in deep snow. The Rubicon trim features electronic front sway-bar disconnect and Tru-Lok front and rear axle lockers, providing exceptional stability and traction when winter conditions turn treacherous.

2- Heated Interior Features

Winter comfort extends beyond the Gladiator's robust exterior. The refined interior includes available 12-way power-adjustable front seats with heating capabilities, ensuring comfort during frigid New Brunswick mornings. The new Active Cabin Ventilation system, controllable through the Jeep Connect mobile app, allows drivers to pre-condition the cabin temperature before entering the vehicle. 

The standard Uconnect 5 system with its best-in-class 12.3-inch touchscreen provides intuitive control over all comfort settings, while standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration keeps you connected regardless of weather conditions.

3- Versatile Bed Storage

The Gladiator's thoughtfully engineered cargo bed proves invaluable during winter months. Built with four reinforced steel cross-members, the bed easily accommodates winter emergency gear, snow removal equipment, and recreational items. The integrated tie-downs secure loose items in slippery conditions, while the under-rail bed lighting proves essential during short winter days. The optional covered external power source can power emergency equipment or winter camping gear, making the Gladiator a reliable partner for winter adventures.

4- Ground Clearance and Durability

With an impressive ground clearance of up to 11.6 inches, the Gladiator confidently navigates through deep snow drifts. Its approach angle of 44.7 degrees, breakover angle of 20.9 degrees, and departure angle of 26 degrees ensure capability in challenging winter terrain. The body-on-frame design featuring a sophisticated five-link suspension system provides stability in slippery conditions. Three standard skid plates protect vital components from hidden winter obstacles, while the lightweight, high-strength aluminum closures resist corrosion from road salt.

5- Advanced Lighting and Safety Features

The Gladiator's comprehensive lighting system enhances winter visibility, while over 85 available advanced safety and security features provide peace of mind. Standard forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control with stop function prove invaluable in unpredictable winter driving conditions. Standard first- and second-row side-curtain airbags offer additional protection when winter roads turn treacherous.

The 2025 Gladiator's impressive capability extends to its powertrain, featuring the reliable 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine delivering 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This power, combined with the new standard eight-speed automatic transmission, ensures responsive performance in all winter conditions. The engine's broad torque band, focused on low-end delivery, proves especially valuable when navigating snow-covered roads or helping stranded vehicles.

Looking ahead, the addition of a 4xe plug-in hybrid model this year will bring electrified capability to winter warriors who prioritize both performance and environmental consciousness.
