Jeep Gladiator vs. Chevrolet Colorado
Pickup trucks can often be thought of or seen as clunky and hard to handle. That is until you see models like the Jeep Gladiator or Chevy Colorado. They breathe new life into the standard idea of a pickup truck not only in their features and amenities but in their build and design as well.
Each model has plenty to offer drivers near Clarks Summit, Dickson City, and Dalton, PA. However, which is the right fit for you? Our team here at Scranton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (DCJR) is here to help you answer that question with our Jeep Gladiator vs. Chevrolet Colorado comparison.

Gladiator vs. Colorado: Performance & Versatility
Both the Jeep Gladiator and the Chevy Colorado are built with the power to produce a confident drive and the capability to explore roads and trails of any kind. The Gladiator, however, manages to outshine its opponent with ease.
This starts under the hood. When it comes to standard power, the 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque from the Gladiator’s standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine easily outdoes the 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque of the Colorado’s 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. Plus, the Gladiator allows you to upgrade to 442 lb-ft of torque with its available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine, while the Colorado maxes out at an available 369 lb-ft.
Additionally, the off-road capability of the Chevy Colorado doesn’t hold a candle to that of the Gladiator. While it does provide some off-road features, like Multimatic™ shocks, skid plates, rock sliders, and off-road enhanced bumpers, it just doesn’t compare to the catalog of amenities that come with the Gladiator.
Some of the off-road features you can look forward to in the Jeep include:
- Trail Rated® Performance
- Tru-Lok® Electronic Locking Differentials
- Sway Bar Disconnect
- Rock-Trac® Transfer Case
- Rock Rails
- Fox Shocks
- Integrated TrailCam
The Gladiator surges ahead of the Colorado when it comes to hauling power. It features a Best-in-Class 4x4 1,700-pound payload capacity and a Best-in-Class available 7,650-pound gas towing capacity. In comparison, the Colorado can only tow up to 7,000 pounds.
Gladiator vs. Colorado: Technology
A feature like the integrated TrailCam is just one small example of the tech you’ll find in the Jeep Gladiator and the Chevy Colorado. Whether you’re looking to connect your smartphone or navigate to your next destination, this tech can help with it all.
Once again, the Gladiator shines just a bit brighter when it comes to infotainment and connective technology. Although the Colorado does offer many of the same features, it only makes them available through upgrades, while they come standard with the Gladiator.
For example, both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration come standard through the Gladiator’s standard Uconnect® system. Plus, you’ll never lose connection, with the help of the available Wi-Fi® hotspot. If you want to enjoy these same features in the Chevy Colorado, you’ll need to shell out for an upgrade.
Gladiator vs. Colorado: Safety & Driver Assistance
While all those performance and tech features are nice, they’re nowhere near as important as the amenities that keep you and your crew safe on each and every ride.
Both the Jeep Gladiator and the Chevy Colorado come loaded with standard safety and driver-assistive features to provide you with some peace of mind behind the wheel. Each is undoubtedly dressed to impress.
Still, though, the Gladiator offers just a bit more in this category with its combination of driver assistive tech and integrated safety features, such as:
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Rear Cross Path Detection
- ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System
With all these, plus more enhanced features, like a Corning® Gorilla® Glass windshield and a trailer sway control system, you can tackle each adventure in the Jeep Gladiator with the utmost confidence.
