2025 Jeep Gladiator

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Gladiator.

Transmission Automatic 8-spd

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator, equipped with an 8-speed automatic and EPA-rated at 17 city, 22 highway, and 19 combined mpg, sits within a model run worth weighing against the brand's rougher launch numbers. Owner complaints have fallen sharply across the lineup's recent history — from 478 in 2020 down to a single complaint in 2026 — with the 2025 figure landing at 14 and concentrated in the fuel/propulsion system alongside one recall. The trajectory points to a truck that has largely worked through its early problems while leaving a fuel-related concern as a persistent thread. For researchers, the 2025 entry is best framed as a relatively refined moment in the Gladiator's reliability arc, though one that still merits attention on fuel-system reports.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator sits at the low‑point of a clear downward trajectory in federal‑record issues, with only 14 consumer complaints, one recall, no investigations, and 178 Technical Service Bulletins—far fewer than the 2020 peak of 478 complaints and seven recalls. Each successive model year from 2020 to 2025 shows a steady reduction in all metrics, and the 2025 figures continue that trend, dropping to just 2 crash‑related complaints and zero fire complaints. The top complaint categories for 2025 are limited to a handful of isolated fuel/propulsion and vehicle‑speed‑control items, and the data does not specify root causes for these reports. Compared with the preceding years, 2025 demonstrates the most reliable record in the current generation, suggesting it is a strong candidate for purchase.
