Menacing Jeep Gladiator Dark Sky Edition Joins The Lineup For 2025

For those who crave adventure with a dose of style, Jeep is rolling out something special. The 2025 Jeep Gladiator Dark Sky Edition is a rugged yet refined take on America’s only open-air pickup. Built off the popular Sport S trim, the Dark Sky is all about packing in value without compromising on the Jeep DNA that off-roaders know and love.

Desert-Inspired Design, Trail-Tested Toughness

Jeep fans will immediately recognize some bold aesthetic upgrades with the Dark Sky. It borrows design cues from the Desert-rated Mojave model, most notably with the aggressive performance hood. Body-color fender flares flow seamlessly into the silhouette, while gloss black bumper inserts and stealthy dark-colored decals and badges give the truck a more sinister stance.

For the first time ever, Jeep is also offering the option to equip a body-color hardtop on the Sport S trim. It’s a move that blends open-air fun with sleek visual cohesion.

Premium Tech, Safety, and Style—Bundled Smartly

The Gladiator Dark Sky isn’t just about looks, it’s loaded with tech and comfort where it counts. Jeep bundles some of its most sought-after features into this package at a compelling price point of just $1,495.

Inside, drivers will find a large 12.3-inch touchscreen powered by Uconnect 5, offering crisp graphics and intuitive control. The tech suite also includes adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning, making daily driving just as dialed-in as trail crawling. The cabin is topped off with a premium wrapped steering wheel, adding a touch of refinement to the rugged cockpit.

Built for the Grind and the Great Outdoors

But don’t let the premium features fool you—this is still a true Jeep at heart. Underneath, the Gladiator Dark Sky rides on heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles. Skid plates protect the transmission and transfer case, while 10 inches of ground clearance ensure it’s ready to climb, crawl, or cruise through whatever lies ahead.

Towing capacity remains strong, with an available maximum tow rating of 7,700 pounds, which is the best in the midsize truck segment. Along with a class-leading 4×4 payload of 1,725 pounds.
