What are the powertrain specs for the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail? What about the Gladiator Sport?
When it comes to performance, these Gladiator trims are almost equally ready for off-road fun. Both are equipped with rugged four-wheel drive and sport-tuned suspension. Like other Gladiator trucks, the Sport and Texas Trail power through difficult terrain, compliments of their 285-horsepower V6 engine. But there's one thing the Texas Trail has that the Sport lacks -- standard 32-inch mud-terrain tires!

- 3.6L Pentastar V6 (285 hp, 260 lb-ft of torque)

What features come standard on the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail vs the Gladiator Sport?
Since the Texas Trail builds on the Sport S trim, it's a little fancier than the base Sport. For instance, the Texas Trail comes standard with extras like a sliding rear window and a rear defroster. It also offers a longer list of options, from premium audio to LED fog lights.
Then again, the base Sport is a great choice for anyone who wants to keep costs down. It might be the entry-level model, but this Gladiator delivers all the basics, from push-button start to smartphone-friendly infotainment. For increasing comfort, options like the aforementioned rear-window defroster are also available.
