The 2025 Jeep Gladiator gets a new in-your-face color with Mojito — and it’s coming back for the Wrangler, too.
Even if you do think Jeep’s midsize truck is just a Wrangler with a bed, you can concede the brand does offer up some loud and interesting colors every once in awhile. Such is the case with the 2025 Gladiator, to which Jeep just added Mojito! (it’s a standout color because it has an exclamation point, you see) to the color palette.
That color originally debuted on the Wrangler JL back in 2018, but has been out of rotation for the past few years. Now, it’s back after that initial rung and comes to the Gladiator for the first time, joining a tradition of eye-popping hues like Punk’n Metallic Orange, High Velocity Yellow and Tuscadero pink. I can keep going to and mention Crush Orange and Xtreme Purple Pearl and Gecko Pearl (which is a bit like Mojito) from the old Wrangler JK days, the JL’s Hella Yella, Flame Red, Firecracker Red…you get the picture.
Honestly, while colors like the ’41 military olive hue are also available, the 2025 Jeep Gladiator’s color options have been a bit muted, with Firecracker Red as one exception. So if you’re looking to stand out a bit more, go for Mojito. That said, like most of the Gladiator’s exterior color options, you will have to pay an extra $595 to do it.
What else has changed for the 2025 Jeep Gladiator?
Outside the extra color, Jeep’s announcement Thursday isn’t bringing any radical changes to the Gladiator lineup. It just received a refresh for the 2024 model year, so you still get features like a larger infotainment screen, while the 2025 model did bring in exotic technologies like power locks and windows. I know, I was bowled over, too.
The good-old 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is still the star of the show here, though you can now only get it with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The manual is gone. Like before, you can still get up to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity and a payload of up to 1,725 pounds, depending on the configuration (specifically, the base Gladiator Sport with the 4.10 rear axle Max Tow Package delivers that capability — other trims have at least slightly lower capacities, so shop with that in mind).
Jeep technically dropped pricing for the 2025 Gladiator lineup, though it also increased its destination fee for the Gladiator from $1,895 to $1,995, which more or less erases the difference on the low-end Sport. Higher trims have a lower MSRP than they did in 2024, ranging from $43,485 for the Nighthawk to $53,690 for the Rubicon. Both the Mojave and Rubicon have feature-rich “X” versions, which up the price by at least another $10,000.
If you’re keen to get into a Gladiator, though, your local store is probably doing some wheeling and dealing to get them out the door, offering four or even five-figure discounts off Jeep’s suggested prices.
