2022 Jeep Gladiator Sport S 4x4 with 6-Speed Manual, the Adventure Pickup You Can No Longer Order New


There are still trucks on Beauce region back roads that ask you to use three pedals. This is one of them. This 2022 Jeep Gladiator Sport S 4x4 pairs the 3.6L Pentastar V6 with a genuine 6-speed manual gearbox, a combination Jeep no longer offers. Add the black three-piece Freedom Top hardtop, removable doors, a fold-down windshield and the two-speed Command-Trac transfer case, and you get the only midsize pickup that turns into an open-air machine on a July Saturday morning. With 51,439 km on the odometer since it entered service in August 2022, roughly 13,000 km per year, this truck has been used without being worn out.


The Manual Gearbox Changes Everything

Let us start with what actually sets this unit apart. The Gladiator's 6-speed manual is not a nostalgia item: paired with the 2.72:1 Command-Trac low range and the 3.73 axle ratio, it gives remarkably fine control at low speed. On a wet trail, on a sugar-bush climb or during a tight trailer manoeuvre, metering the clutch yourself often beats waiting for a torque converter to decide for you.

There is a financial argument too. Manual-transmission Gladiators make up a tiny fraction of the fleet on the road, and that scarcity translates into resale value that holds up better than average. You are buying a truck that few people can replace with a new equivalent.


Powertrain and On-Road Behaviour

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 with variable valve timing produces 285 hp (209 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft (353 N"m) of torque at 4,400 rpm. It runs on regular fuel and Stop/Start reduces consumption in city traffic. Per official Canadian figures, the 3.6L Gladiator with the manual gearbox is rated at 14.3 L/100 km city, 10.4 L/100 km highway and 12.6 L/100 km combined, consistent numbers for a body-on-frame 4x4 riding on 245/75R17 tires.

Command-Trac is a part-time system built around the two-speed NV241 transfer case. In 2H you run in rear-wheel drive on Route 73 without dragging unnecessary driveline losses. In 4H you get mechanical four-wheel traction for snow and mud. In 4L, the 2.72:1 reduction multiplies torque for difficult sections, boat ramps and low-speed towing. The third-generation Dana axles, an M210 up front and an M220 at the rear, are the heavy-duty hardware Jeep specifies for its hardest-working vehicles.


Towing and Payload

This Gladiator Sport S tows up to 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) and carries up to 1,700 lb (771 kg) of payload, with a gross combined weight rating of 9,100 lb (4,127 kg). The Class II hitch receiver is factory-installed, with 4-pin and 7-pin connectors already in place, and Trailer Sway Control is integrated into the electronic stability system. In practical terms, that covers an ATV trailer, a snowmobile trailer, a small fishing boat, a compact travel trailer or a materials trailer.

The box measures 60.3" (1,531 mm) long with the tailgate closed and offers 35.5 cu ft (1,005 L) of usable volume, with cargo tie-down loops and a flat floor. Three tow hooks are fitted, two front and one rear, and a skid plate shields the fuel tank. These are not cosmetic details. They are the anchor points that get you out of trouble when a friend ends up in the ditch.


Off-Road Capability and Geometry

The Gladiator keeps the geometry that built the Wrangler's reputation and adds a bed. Ground clearance is 10" (254 mm), the approach angle 40.8 degrees, the breakover angle 18.4 degrees and the departure angle 25 degrees. The 137.3" (3,487 mm) wheelbase brings stability that four-door Wranglers do not have, a real advantage on fast forest roads and while towing. Electronic Roll Mitigation, Hill Start Assist and Traction Control are standard, along with heavy-duty four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.


Hardtop, Removable Panels and Exterior Style

This unit carries the black three-piece Freedom Top modular hardtop, a 1,695 factory option that replaces the Sunrider soft top. It is the configuration most Quebec buyers look for: better insulation from cold and noise, it locks, and it includes a rear window defroster plus a manual sliding rear window. The Freedom panel storage bag is included.

The two front panels come off in minutes, the doors come off, the windshield folds forward, and the Torx tool kit is included. The body is black, with body-colour two-piece fender flares, 17 x 7.5-inch Tech Silver aluminum wheels on 245/75R17 tires, deep-tint sunscreen glass, automatic headlamps and fog lamps.


Comfort and Cabin Life

The interior is black, with reclining cloth front bucket seats and a 60/40 split-folding rear bench. The steering column tilts and telescopes, and the steering wheel is leather-wrapped. Air conditioning, power windows with front one-touch down, power heated exterior mirrors, remote keyless entry and push-button start are all part of the equipment.

Storage is designed for real use: a full-length floor console, a rear compartment storage tray, a bin behind the bench and tie-down loops in the box. The normal-duty plus suspension absorbs rural roads without turning harsh on pavement.


Technology and Connectivity

Uconnect 4 with a 7-inch touchscreen handles radio, phone and apps. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, which gives you your phone's navigation and hands-free messaging without depending on a subscription. SiriusXM satellite radio with SiriusXM Guardian connected services is also on board.

It is a simple, quick and dependable interface. On a vehicle whose doors come off and that spends its weekends in the dust, technological restraint is an asset rather than a limitation.

On the safety side, the ParkView rear back-up camera, direct-sensor tire pressure monitoring, Traction Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Hill Start Assist, Trailer Sway Control and the security alarm are all present. Every used vehicle goes through a complete mechanical inspection before delivery, and open recalls are checked and corrected by our certified Stellantis service department.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the manual gearbox hard to live with day to day?

No. The Gladiator's clutch is progressive and the 260 lb-ft of torque arrives low enough to avoid laboured starts. First gear is short, which helps a great deal when manoeuvring and towing. Drivers used to a manual find their footing within minutes. Everyone else learns quickly, because the Gladiator forgives hesitation far better than a sports car with a snappy clutch.

What is the real towing capacity in this configuration?

Up to 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) with the factory Class II hitch receiver and 4-pin and 7-pin connectors. That is the official figure for a Gladiator with the manual gearbox and 3.73 axle ratio. The 7,650 lb versions required the 8-speed automatic and the Max Tow Package, neither of which is fitted here. Payload reaches 1,700 lb (771 kg).

Is the 3.6L Pentastar V6 reliable over the long haul?

It is one of the most widely produced engines in North America, built since 2011 and installed in millions of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler and Ram vehicles. It uses no turbocharger and no complex injection hardware, which limits expensive failure points. Basic maintenance comes down to respecting oil change intervals with the specified oil. Paired with a manual gearbox, one of the simplest driveline setups in the lineup, this combination is built to last.

Where do the original warranties stand?

The 3-year or 60,000 km basic warranty expired on August 23, 2025. The 5-year or 100,000 km powertrain warranty remains active through August 23, 2027, with roughly 48,500 km of margin. Corrosion perforation coverage runs to August 23, 2027 and major emissions component coverage to August 23, 2030. These warranties transfer to the new owner at no charge. No extended Mopar contract is in force on this unit.

How does it handle a Quebec winter?

Command-Trac is a mechanical part-time 4x4: you engage 4H when the road is snow-covered and return to 2H on dry pavement. The 10" of ground clearance and the tall-sidewall 245/75R17 tires deal well with accumulated snow and thaw-season potholes. The hardtop insulates better than a soft top and the rear window is heated. As with any vehicle, dedicated winter tires remain the best investment you can make.

Are open recalls handled before delivery?

Yes. We query the serial number in the Stellantis system before every delivery. Any active safety recall is performed at no charge in our certified service department, using Mopar tools and wiTECH. The vehicle also goes through a complete mechanical inspection, and normal wear items are corrected before the keys are handed over.

Who is this particular Gladiator for?

Someone who wants a real 4x4 with a bed, who enjoys driving, and who does not need to pull more than 4,000 lb. Hunters, anglers, ATV or snowmobile owners, self-employed tradespeople with a modest amount of gear to haul, or simply Jeep enthusiasts who want the doors off in July. This is not the truck for someone chasing the biggest towing number on paper. It is the truck for someone who wants enjoyment and versatility.

Is this a good buy compared with a new Gladiator?

The original manufacturer's suggested retail price on this unit was 53,785 including freight. You save several thousand dollars while getting a mechanical configuration that can no longer be ordered new, since the manual gearbox has left the catalogue. The truck also retains active coverage on its powertrain, which reduces your exposure on the most expensive components.
