TRIM LEVELS
While the Gladiator and the F-150 are suitable for your vocation, they shine most when it comes time to play. Both trucks have a rugged reputation they need to maintain. How do they do it? Find out below.
You need to get around on stable footing. Which truck do you go for? The Ford comes with 4x2 standard, and it’s available with 4x4 on higher trims. The Jeep, on the other hand, comes standard with 4-wheel drive, which helps improve traction on snow, ice, rocks, sand, mud, you name it.
With standard 4-wheel drive, the Gladiator may be better suited for when you have that off-road-loving adventure bug.
Are all your friends hanging out at Minooka Trail, off-roading and having fun? Did you know the Jeep Gladiator is the only Trail Rated® pickup truck? Better yet, it’s the only Jeep vehicle with a Desert Rated badge as well! By wearing these badges, this truck proves its excellence in traction, articulation, and maneuverability. Plus, it confirms this truck’s 31.5-inch water fording capabilities and 11.1-inch ground clearance!
If you find yourself on a remote beach or even in a hot desert, you’ll want the Gladiator by your side. Its Desert Rated badge ensures you can get through intense heat, coarse sand, and loose surfaces with the stability, control, and responsiveness you crave.
The Ford F-150 Raptor and the Raptor R trims are built for the off-road. However, with the Ford’s hunkering size and lack of a trail or desert rating, the Gladiator is better equipped to tackle Mother Nature’s woes.
Let’s be honest: The Gladiator and the F-150 are both burly beauties. Each one has its own unique configurations and means, allowing these trucks to suit just about everyone. So, all in all, a choice between these trucks comes down to your personal preference.
When comparing trim levels, the Jeep offers nine trims, while the Ford offers eight trims. Which one will suit you best?

With various trim levels to choose from, you’ll easily be able to find a model that checks off all your boxes.
These trucks are configurable in their own unique ways. Let’s start with the F-150 first. On top of several trims, this truck offers various cabin and bed sizes to fit your crew and cargo size. Plus, it has a handful of engine options to make sure you’ll have all the power you need.
While the Jeep only has one cabin and one bed size, this truck offers a truly unique experience. The Gladiator is the first open air pickup truck on the market. No matter if you choose a hardtop or a soft top configuration, you can remove the roof and the doors to experience the elements and open-air freedom. The windshield even folds down!
Although the Ford F-150 is configurable, it’s not customizable in the same way the Jeep is.
Whether you’re heading to the Poconos, to the trails, or to work, getting to your destination is half the fun of the journey. With the helpful technologies inside and outside the Jeep and the Ford, the fun doesn’t have to stop. Period.
Inside the cabin of these light-duty trucks, you’ll find an 8-inch touchscreen attached to full-fledged infotainment suites. Plus, both models support Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so you can experience the full shebang.
Before you embark on your next trip, you can connect to the Gladiator before you step foot out the door with available Amazon Alexa Skill. This connectivity features takes the artificial intelligence you know and love and puts it on four wheels! This feature allows you to:
- Start your vehicle
- Check fuel levels
- Send an address to the navigation system
- And more!
The best part? You can do so all from the comfort of your home.
When you want to listen to music, just hop into the Jeep or the Ford for an immersive experience. What if you want to bring the party outside the cabin? No need to crank up the tunes and roll down the windows. The Jeep’s available and industry-exclusive Removable Speaker has it from there.
This unique tailgate speaker recharges as you drive, it’s weatherproof and dust-resistant, and it can withstand up to three feet of water for 30 minutes. So, if it gets a little too close to the shore’s edge, no biggie!
The off-roading capabilities, open-air freedom, and unique technologies of the 2023 Jeep Gladiator are unmatched by the 2023 Ford F-150. If you crave a truly unique, do-it-all truck, the Gladiator is the right move for you.
