If necessary, the system will automatically brake to avoid or minimize the severity of a collision.

If you do not respond, the system will course correct using electric power steering. 3. RAM Connect For the first ten years that you own your RAM, you will have RAM Connect Safety and Security, which works through your infotainment system and also syncs your truck with your smartphone. Get emergency help at the push of a button by connecting to a Customer Care Agent. For added peace of mind, Automatic SOS automatically connects you to an agent when your airbags are deployed, delivering faster emergency response. If non-emergency assistance is needed, you can easily connect with a Call Center Agent for vehicle care aid. If you get a flat tire or run out of a gas, one button can bring you roadside assistance. For security, RAM Connect offers a Vehicle Theft Alert and Stolen Vehicle Assistance. 4.

Some people come onto a Jeep lot looking for the maximum in off-road adventure. Others are looking for a tough, road-ready vehicle that can haul them and their gear in safety and style. Why not have both? As the only open-air pickup truck in the industry, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is the perfect marriage of power, performance, and a “get it done” attitude, and we're here to show you why. Check out the various ways that off-road capability meets utility in the 2024 Jeep Gladiator. more Muscle, Muscle, and More Muscle The beating heart of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, packing up to 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a rugged 4x4 system on every Gladiator to transfer that power to the wheels, the Gladiator excels at navigating terrain that other pickups fear to tread. Whether it's clambering over rocks and felled trees, fording water up to 31.5 inches deep, or simply getting up to highway speeds on tough onramps, the Gladiator has plenty of power to move you and your gear. Unsurpassed Payload With an all-steel, 5-foot truck bed, the Gladiator is the go-to in payload when hauling gear off-road. At a whopping 1,725 pounds of available payload capacity, the Gladiator is perfect for taking what you need wherever you want to go. That means the Gladiator excels at taking dirt bikes and ATVs to their natural habitats, much less hauling supplies for your home improvement project. Tons of Towing Capacity When paired with the Trailer Tow Package, no vehicle in its class can top the towing power of the Jeep Gladiator. Able to haul over three and a half tons, the Gladiator's capacity maxes out at 7,700 pounds, crowning it the towing king of the mid-sized pickup truck category. Integrated front and rear tow hooks allow the Gladiator to help its less-capable competition out of the tough spots the Gladiator can handle with ease. The Gladiator also has brains to match its brawn. The novel Trailer Sway Control system detects when the trailer begins swaying behind the vehicle and applies brake pressure to individual wheels to help bring it back in line. That means more control and more safety. Trail-Rated Traction Just because the Gladiator can bring whatever it needs wherever it wants doesn't mean it can't enjoy itself in places where pavement doesn't dare to go. Solid front and rear axles are exclusive within its class, allowing the Gladiator to raise one wheel when its opposite dips. From potholes to rocks to bumpy trails, the Gladiator is ready to go where others simply can't. Front and rear Tru-Lok Electronic Locking Differentials help maintain momentum and traction on uneven ground. Jeep vehemently defends its coveted Trail Rated badge, and the Gladiator has earned it in spades. With the perfect hybrid of power and utility, the 2024 Gladiator has the capability to haul what you need, where you need it.
