Jeep Gladiator Sport S 4x4 | 3.6L V6 Pentastar | 6-speed Manual | Freedom Hardtop | Trail Rated2022 Jeep Gladiator Sport S 4x4 | 3.6L V6 Pentastar | 6-speed Manual | Freedom Hardtop | 48,854 km
Here is a unit that will appeal to true Jeep enthusiasts: a Gladiator Sport S 4x4 with the 6-speed manual transmission and 3.6L Pentastar engine, an increasingly rare configuration on the used market. Modular removable hardtop, removable doors, skid plates, factory Trail Rated badge. A compact midsize pickup focused on character, four-season versatility and driving engagement rather than gimmicks.
Performance and driving
The 3.6L Pentastar VVT V6, rated at 285 hp and 260 lb-ft, is paired with the 6-speed manual transmission - the signature combination for Gladiator buyers who want a hands-on driving experience. The Command-Trac 4x4 transfer case with 2.72:1 low range allows quick switching between 2WD and 4WD as conditions change. The 3.73 rear axle on this unit gives more bite under acceleration than the base setup, without significantly hurting fuel use.
Off-road and four-season character
This unit comes with the factory Trail Rated badge, fuel tank and transfer case skid plates, tow hooks (two front, one rear), full-padded sport bar and 17-inch wheels. Electronic shift-on-demand Command-Trac, Normal-Duty Plus suspension and the Gladiator's typical approach angle make this unit capable on moderate trails, gravel roads and confident through a Quebec winter.
Open-air configuration
The black 3-piece Freedom Top hardtop is included from the factory. The two front panels lift off in minutes for an open-air drive over the driver and passenger, and the full rear panel can be removed for a fully open cabin. The Mopar storage bag for the Freedom panels and the Torx tool kit for removing the top and doors are included. The cargo box keeps full utility with its damped, power-locking tailgate, cargo tie-down loops and box lighting.
Technology and connectivity
The 7-inch Uconnect 4 touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay, Google Android Auto, integrated Bluetooth voice command and an 8-speaker audio system. Push-button start, keyless entry, cruise control, manual A/C and the ParkView rear-view camera round out the daily-driver kit.
Comfort and cabin
The Sport S cabin features cloth reclining bucket seats with manual 6-way adjustment for the driver, a leather-wrapped tilt/telescoping steering wheel, 60/40 split-folding rear bench, heated power exterior mirrors, power windows with front 1-touch down, rear deep-tint sunscreen glass and tinted windshield. A cabin built for real use without unnecessary frills.

Remaining warranty
This unit still benefits from part of its original factory warranty. The powertrain warranty remains valid through August 23, 2027 or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. The anti-corrosion warranty remains in force until August 23, 2027 or 160,000 km, and the major emissions components warranty remains valid until August 23, 2030 or 130,000 km. The basic warranty and federal emissions warranty have reached their time limit.
Value as a used vehicle
A manual-transmission Gladiator with the Freedom Top hardtop remains a sought-after combination: low production volume, strong residual value, real cargo-box utility and the driving feel of a Wrangler with the practicality of a pickup. For a buyer looking for an authentic unit, equipped for Quebec four-season use and still covered by part of the original manufacturer warranty, this Sport S is a coherent choice.
FAQ
What is the towing capacity of this unit?
This unit is rated at 1,814 kg (4,000 lb) of towing capacity, consistent with the Gladiator Sport S configuration with 3.6L Pentastar, manual transmission and 3.73 axle without the Max Tow Package. The capacity stays below the 4,500 kg Quebec Contrôle routier threshold, which may matter for some light commercial or self-employed users.
Why the 3.73 ratio instead of 3.21?
This shorter ratio was specified at original order. It improves low-end response, acceleration under load and useful traction without going all the way to the 4.10 of the Max Tow Package.
How does the Freedom Top hardtop work?
The two front panels above the driver and passenger come off quickly with the included Torx tool kit. The full rear panel can also be removed for a fully open cabin. The panels store in the included Mopar storage bag.
