If you are searching for a hardy truck that offers top-tier power and performance on the off-roads, then you need to take a peek at the 2021 Jeep Gladiator at O’Connor Chrysler. Going head-to-head against the popular 2021 Toyota Tacoma, it is easy to tell which model is best.
Â
The first engine on the Gladiator is the 3.6-litre V6. Mated with the Command-Trac 4x4 system and your choice of a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission, it pushes out 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. It can also tow up to 3,469 kg (7,650 lbs) with the appropriate gear. The other option is a 3.0-litre Ecodiesel V6. Generating 260 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque, it can pull around 2,948 kg (6,500 lbs).
Â
As for the Toyota Tacoma, it is also available with two motors. However, there is no diesel version. The SR and SR5 trims are equipped with a 2.7-litre 4-cylinder that pumps out 159 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. That’s a far cry from the Gladiator. Meanwhile, the available 3.5-litre V6 makes 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. It can tow between 1587 and 3,084 kg (3,500 and 6,800 lb).
