Inject comfort into every Abbotsford adventure. Visit Renfrew Chrysler and slide inside the 2021 Jeep Gladiator. Despite its compact frame - which measures up to 218-inches in length, 73.8-inches in width, and 76.3-inches in height - this truck delivers a superior cabin experience; and it also proves a better travel companion than its Ford Ranger rival.Luxury is no longer ignored on the backroads. Instead the new Gladiator offers ample upgrades to drivers. Its spacious five-passenger cabin boasts: head room, 42.8-inches and 40.8-inches; leg room, 41.2-inches and 38.3-inches; and shoulder room, 55.5-inches and 557-inches. Available leather-trimmed seating is bolstered by heating technology; while optional dual-zone climate controls accommodate Abbotsford's wildest weather with ease. A 60/40 split-fold configuration further impresses, enabling drivers to tailor the interior to their specific needs. Adapt to cargo and riders alike.
The 2021 Ford Ranger isn’t so forgiving. This Gladiator competitor offers less space within the cabin, with its limited head room (41-inches and 35.9-inches) and rear shoulder room (55.2-inches) forcing families to endure cramped quarters. This four-passenger truck won’t deliver the same value on the trails.

Searching for premium off-road performance? Visit Renfrew Chrysler in Alberta today to take the 2021 Jeep Gladiator for a spin. Anchored by a 3.6L Pentastar V6, this 4x4 truck proves ready for every terrain - allowing drivers to dominate the backroads and the competition alike.Achieve potent performance with help from the new Gladiator. Jeep has paired this platform with a rugged V6, delivering 285 HP and 260 lb.-ft of torque to Alberta. A Variable Valve Lift System promotes peerless power control, while a high-lift mode yields superior sequencing on rough terrain. A standard six-speed manual transmission further improves the experience, affording precise handling and enhanced road-feel. Â
Compare this to the performance offered by the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado. This truck features a less robust 2.5L inline-four engine, which yields a mere 200 HP and 191 lb.-ft of torque. To further hinder drivers, it also lacks a standard manual transmission - which can reduce overall control. This can translate to fewer thrills on the backroads.
The 2021 Jeep Gladiator proves the ultimate option for those wanting to inject all-terrain fun into every day. To learn more about this truck - or to request further spec comparisons - contact our team at your earliest convenience.Â

The engine is one of the most important considerations when purchasing a pick-up truck. Buyers typically want something powerful enough to handle hauling tasks and provide performance as needed. The 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland and 2021 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 6A are both capable trucks with similar specs on paper - but which performs better in the real world?
2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Horsepower: 285
Torque: 260 lb-ft.
2021 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 6A
Engine: 3.5L V6 DOHC
Horsepower: 278
Torque: 265 lb-ft.
Despite being slightly larger and offering more strength, the Gladiator shines in terms of efficiency. Its two-step Variable Valve Lift System is specifically designed to remain in low-power mode until you need the full complement of muscle. As a result, the Jeep has a fuel economy rating of 10.4 L/100 km on the highway (compared to the 10.5 L/100 km offered by the Toyota Tacoma).Â
Additionally, the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland utilizes Command Trac 4x4, which divides torque equally between the front and rear axles. This system is also capable of performing a smooth shift from two to four-wheel drive at speeds up to 72 km/h.Â
