Jeep® brand is celebrating the Golden State, introducing the new 2025 Jeep Gladiator Big Bear Edition, available exclusively for customers in California.

"Our 2025 Jeep® Gladiator Big Bear Edition brings Californians their own unique take on the Gladiator, with a pickup truck that delivers popular content as standard and at a great value, plus signature Jeep capability and class-exclusive open-air freedom," said Bob Broderdorf, chief executive officer, Jeep brand. "It's the perfect companion for exploring California's standout geography, whether you're heading to its sandy shores, rugged peaks or expansive deserts."

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator Big Bear Edition is named as an homage to both Southern California's like-named, four-season mountain lake recreation area and that natural icon for power seen on the state flag, the California grizzly bear. Building from the well-equipped Jeep Gladiator Sport S, this special edition combines new exterior enhancements and bespoke Big Bear hood and rear tailgate badging, with off-road capability via the Jeep Command-Trac 4x4 part-time and two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio.

• 17-inch black-painted aluminum wheels with 32-inch mud-terrain tires
• Steel rock rails  
• Body-color hardtop 
• Unique, class-exclusive open-air freedom options, such as removable roof panels, completely removable roof, removable doors and a fold-down windshield 
• Black McKinley-trimmed leather seats   
• Heated front seats and heated steering wheel 
• Keyless entry  
• Power heated mirrors  
• First- and second-row side-curtain airbags  
• Adaptive cruise control

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator enhances safety, connectivity and entertainment with extensive in-vehicle digital connectivity. Customers get three months of Jeep Connect services, with options for up to 10 years of Safety and Security Package access and five years of Vehicle Performance Package access. The vehicle supports over-the-air (OTA) updates for continuous software evolution.

The Uconnect 5 system features AppMarket, an onscreen hub for connected features, adventure apps like Geocaching and The Dyrt, and games like Soduku. AppMarket's digital store simplifies account management, allowing users to discover and purchase connected services packages from the vehicle's main screen, including Wi-Fi hotspot, Jeep Offroad Pages Plus and SiriusXM Radio.

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator Big Bear Edition is limited to 5,000 units and is now available at California Jeep dealerships, starting at a U.S. MSRP of $46,090 (excluding a $1,895 destination fee). This edition offers a range of exterior color options, including the new-for-2025 color '41, plus black, Bright White, Granite Crystal, Hydro Blue, Firecracker Red and Anvil.
