The Sport S sits above the base Sport and adds convenience and appearance upgrades. Jeep’s page highlights a 12.3-inch touchscreen as standard across the lineup. Trim contents change by year, so confirm the feature list with a dealer.
Sport S vs off-road Gladiators
- Sport S: the most towing and payload-focused of the common trims.
- Rubicon and Mojave: 33-inch all-terrain tires and more off-road hardware, but lower towing and payload.
The Gladiator shares much of its design with the Wrangler, so see our Jeep Wrangler specs for the SUV version. If you are comparing midsize trucks, look at the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 specs.
What to check before buying
- Year: a used Sport S with a manual transmission must be a 2024 or earlier model.
- Recalls: check the Transport Canada recall database by VIN, and read our Jeep recalls guide.
- Towing: match your trailer to the exact package.
