We showed you the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon on a muddy and rocky trail and a Sport S model with a maximum towing package. Now, it’s time for the most affordable (base) Gladiator Sport. Here is what you get when you pay the $35,040 base M.S.R.P.
The red truck you see here is a base Gladiator Sport. It is still a 3.6-liter V6-powered crew cab 4×4 truck with a 5-foot bed, but it comes with 17-inch steel wheels, a 6-speed manual transmission, and hand-crank windows. Take a look below at everything else you get.

Under the hood is a 3.6L V6 with a rating of 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. In the case of the Sport model, the 6-speed manual transmission is standard.
By the way, the 6-speed is the same “D478” transmission that is available on the Jeep Wrangler JL. The 4th gear is direct drive with 5th and 6th being overdrives.
