ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Jeep Gladiator?
The 2024 Jeep Gladiator carries a 3-star rollover rating, accompanied by a 27 percent rollover risk. This result is the only crash-test data point available for the model year, leaving significant gaps in the overall crash protection picture, as NHTSA has not published frontal or side crash-test ratings. On its available data, the Gladiator earns a Safety Index score of 60/100, placing it in the Below Average band, a two-point decline from the 2023 model's 62/100. The Safety Index breakdown shows crash protection at 42 out of 70 possible points. Avoidance technology contributes only 4.5 out of 10, a reflection that forward collision warning is an optional feature rather than standard, and lane departure warning is unavailable. Electronic stability control is standard. The defect record component scores 13 out of 20 points. Two open recall campaigns affect the 2024 Gladiator. Of these, the park-outside power-steering pump recall is the most consequential safety item, spanning a wide production range and carrying urgent consumer guidance. An instrument cluster recall also remains active.
