Jeep Gladiator Bed Size and Dimensions (2022 & 2021)

The Jeep Gladiator is the new pickup truck crossover between a standard pickup truck and a Jeep Wrangler. Though it provides some versatility as a pickup truck, it is not specifically designed for max utility.

It has limited features such as towing capacity (which you can read about here) and bed size.

The Jeep Gladiator only has one bed size. This bed size is 5 ft in length. This is considered small in the world of pickup trucks.

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator bed is 60.3 inches long, 56.8 inches wide, 44.8 inches wide between wheel wells, and 33.9 inches high.

The bed size for the 2021 and 2022 models are exactly the same so all dimensions listed in this article refer to the dimensions for both years.

Jeep Gladiator Interior Dimensions

Cab Size

One thing that sets the Jeep Gladiator apart from other trucks on the market is that it comes in one cab size.

This significantly keeps down VINs and complexity.

This cab size can accommodate 5 seats and holds a total of 103 cu. ft. of space. Unlike MANY other pickup trucks with two rows, the back row is only 3 inches less in legroom.

	Front	Rear
Legroom	41.2 in	38.3 in
Headroom	42.8 in	42.8 in
Hiproom	53.9 in	55.9 in
Shoulder Room	55.7 in	55.7 in

Jeep Gladiator Exterior Dimensions

The Jeep Gladiator is comparable to many other mid-size to full-size trucks on the market.

Independent of the trim, the exterior dimensions of the Gladiator remain the same.

Overall the Gladiator is 218 inches in length, 73.8 inches in width, and 75 inches in height to the top of the cab.

Exterior Length	218 in (18 ft 2 in)
Overall Width	73.8 in (6 ft 1.8 in)
Overall Height	75 in (6 ft 3 in)

Jeep Gladiator Bed Sizes

As mentioned before, the Gladiator only has one type of truck bed and it is considered small compared to many other beds on the market.

This bed is 5 ft and 0.3 inches from end to end. I haven’t seen any kind of bed this small. Other short beds in the market are around 5.5 ft.

The standard bed on the market is 6.5 ft, so this is significantly smaller. This isn’t the best truck to select for its bed use. Though it provides more space than most other SUV’s and obviously much more than the Jeep Wrangler, it is a great option for those looking for some extra utility with a pickup, with the look of a Wrangler.

This truck bed is 60.3 inches long, 56.8 inches wide, and 44.8 inches wide between the wheel wells.

It is also 33.9 inches deep. This is one place in which the Gladiator stands out. This means there is more ability to stack things higher in the bed of the truck, but it is harder to access for the average person without any extra step assistance.

Bed Styles

Most half-ton and mid-size trucks today are only equipped with one bed style. A bed style does not refer to the size of the bed but rather the shape.

There are two main shapes of bed styles. The first is fleetside and the second is stepside.

Fleetside bed styles are those that have the wheel wells of the back axle tires protruding into the bed like the one displayed above. This means that the outside of the truck is flat on the sides of the bed.

The stepside truck beds are just that. The wheels present themselves as a step on the outside of the truck bed. This means that the truck bed is rectangular in shape and doesn’t have any wheel wells inside.

Fleetside beds are the most common today and are the only style offered in the Jeep Gladiator.

Gladiator Bed Features

Tie Down Brackets

There are 4 built-in tie-downs in the bed of the Gladiator which makes it easier to load cargo with many forms and shapes. The deep bed also makes it able to accommodate some larger items with less intense strapping.

Power Outlets

Built in the back of the truck bed is a 115-Volt full power outlet. This provides you the opportunity to charge and power any electronics for your next adventure.

This provides some additional versatility for camping, or ya know, can help you make some margaritas on your next beach trip.

Multiple tailgate positions

This sounds more exciting than it is. Though it doesn’t have fancy hinge systems that open like doors like some of the other new trucks, it does have three positions.

It opens in the traditional way that most truck beds do, downward. So it can be fully closed and fully open.

But, they also allow the truck bed tailgate to sit at a 45-degree angle. This helps to accommodate some large sheets or slats that may interfere with the wheel well in the side of the bed.

Truck Bed Upgrades from Jeep

Tonneau cover

When you first order a Jeep Gladiator, there are three options for which you can add a tonneau cover.

There is a roll-up cover for $625, a Soft Tri-Fold cover by Mopar also for $625, and a Hart Tri-Fold cover by Mopar with a price of $995 (Jeep.com).

If you need a quick choice for a tonneau cover, these aren’t bad options, but there are cheaper ones on the market, especially for the soft versions that you might want to look at instead. Of course there are some benefits to ordering through Jeep.

They may help with installation, and they may have a warranty program as well.

If you are looking for other alternatives to the Jeep-issued truck bed tonneau covers, check the next section below.

Spray in Bed-Liner

Though the base surface of the Gladiator bed is a solid steel frame, it is susceptible to damage. One of the best ways to protect the bed is with a spray-in bed-liner.

Jeep offers a Mopar bed-liner for $525 which seems a bit steep for this technology. For less than half the price, you can do it yourself with the following kit.

Trail Rail System

This system is a specifically designed bed cargo management system that allows full bed access for storage with an additional tie-down system that sits on the edges of the bed that allow cargo basket to sit on top.

The Trail Rail System is a Jeep Trademarked system in which adjustable tie-downs are able to be used in conjunction with the truck bed cross rails and cargo basket.
