Chances are, if you live near nature, you’ll want to explore it, and what better way to traverse rough terrain, visit national parks, and find your new favorite hiking trail than with a Jeep? Of course, there are different types of jeeps, and some models will appeal to drivers, and some will not, which is ok. Some are more suited to a particular terrain type, while others function as more of a daily commuter than a weekend off-roader, as jeeps tend to be quite versatile. One particular model, however, has managed to broaden the Jeep’s appeal as a backpacking buddy, the 2023 Jeep Gladiator. For those looking for a Jeep Gladiator for sale in the Williston, ND area, check out our extensive selection of Gladiator models here at Ryan Chrysler Jeep Dodge. On top of offering a great inventory, our friendly and knowledgeable team is dedicated to helping you find the perfect Gladiator model tailored to your specific driving needs. Before you visit us at our dealership in Williston, let's take a look at some notable features that make this Jeep model truly special.

Voice Activated Audio Controls

The voice-activated audio control feature via the Uconnect 4 system may not appear to be the most unique feature at first until you consider that it means you won’t have to scroll through a touchscreen menu or worry about pressing the right button while also attempting to merge. Being able to use your voice to request help with navigation or start a playlist for you and the entire family without taking your eyes off the road is both easy and acts as a safety precaution, preventing potential accidents while also keeping your passengers comfortable and entertained. You can regale them with audiobooks from fellow adventurers while driving into the mountains without ever taking your hands off the wheel. Who knew such a tiny little feature could be such a big deal? This may seem like a bit of hyperbole, but if you’ve ever been anywhere busy and someone tried to grab something, you’ll know how quickly something bad can happen. That’s why Jeep preempted this possibility with voice-activated controls so that you don’t have to worry about when something might happen. You’ll be able to enjoy the drive knowing your Jeep has your back in more ways than one.

Solid Towing Capacity

While the Jeep Gladiator isn’t a small vehicle, it definitely surprises those who visit their local Jeep dealership with its strength and durability. If you’re looking for something that can haul and tow your boat, recreational vehicles, camper, or trailer, the Gladiator will happily assist with towing up to 7,700 lbs. Since nearly all of the smaller campers, such as the teardrops, are under 3,000 lbs, you can hitch it up to the Gladiator and drive off without care toward that weekend at the lake with friends or to your favorite campground for a long weekend of relaxation in nature. The Gladiator can also tow boats, depending on the weight and size. Do you have a small fishing boat that you like to take to the coast for the summer? Most weigh no more than five hundred lbs, which means you'll have more than enough capability to carry your vessel and whatever sailing essentials you'll need for the perfect weekend getaway. No matter how you like spending your time off, the Gladiator is a ready and willing participant in whatever plans you may have. You may not utilize this feature every single day, but you’ll always be glad you have the option.

Split-Bench Rear Seats

This isn’t an unheard-of feature in vehicles, but when you’ve got limited space and need as much as you can get for all the camping gear, fishing and hiking poles, and duffels you’ll be taking with you on your adventures, this feature will certainly help. Instead of laying the entire back seat flat and losing a passenger seat, you can elect to put one seat down and keep the other up. You might even want to use that small seat for your dog so they can have space but not take up any of yours. Another useful feature of having a split-bench rear seat is that you can put longer items in that space, angling things like lamps, ladders, long pieces of construction material, etc., without having to warp the material or go in through a window. Not something anyone would think about regularly, but it is something that does arise occasionally. You’ll be able to configure the interior of your vehicle in several different ways to ensure that you are getting the most out of it, which is great for those who are into many hobbies and enjoy a multitude of activities. The Gladiator will never let you get bored.

Double DC Power Outlets

Like being able to charge your phone, laptop, tablet, or handheld radio on the go? You won’t have to fight over who gets to charge first because the 2023 Jeep Gladiator has two 12V DC power outlets, allowing for a wider range of options for navigation, entertainment, communication, etc. You’ll be able to answer work emails, finish that project on the tablet, and answer the phone quickly, without worrying that one of them will drop a call or shut down during an important meeting or goodnight message. Though other power outlet options might be available in other models, the 12V DC power outlets are hardy, easy to use, and will provide hours and hours of charging for all of your electronics. Whether you’re going to use the tablet to entertain the kids during the storm or you’re interested in running a co-op game with friends, you’ll have everything you need. A simple plug in, and you’ve got what it takes to boost your phone’s battery life, juice up the laptop for that proposal, or bring along equipment to host a family movie night in the tent.

Illuminated Drink Holders

Ever get into a vehicle and fumble around the floor in the dark to find whatever you knocked over, only to realize you had spilled someone’s drink, and it was running everywhere? A great way to avoid that in the future is to invest in the Gladiator’s stunning solution: illuminated beverage holders. You can rest assured that even if there are more messes to clean up, you won’t have liquid sitting on the floor of your car. These illuminated cup holders will show you where your drinks are and allow you to securely place your drinks, something that is an underrated feat by those who have not had to wrangle a toddler into their car seat while trying to hold onto your coffee or monster drink. These are also useful if you decide to forgo drinks in the Gladiator’s cabin and instead pack these cupholders with useful items like grocery bags, flashlights, small tool sets, and emergency equipment. Without these illuminated drink holders, you’d have to trust yourself and whoever was in the Gladiator last to have found a safe space for any drinks that might be in the car. While this may seem like a rather insignificant feature, it demonstrates the Gladiator's attention to detail, and we are grateful for this helpful interior accent.
