This model has Jeep's Trail Rated badge, meaning it can tackle the toughest off-road terrain. The Gladiator is the only available Trail Rated pickup truck on the market.

The New Mojave Trim

Instead of the Trail Rated badge it has Jeep's Desert Rated badge. It has a reinforced frame and axles, an upgraded suspension with a 1-inch lift, and cast iron steering knuckles. The desert-tuned suspension easily takes on undulating sandy terrain, staying in control and providing the ultimate comfort. The Mohave also comes with exclusive FOX front hydraulic jounce shocks. These specialized shocks have a 2.5-inch internal bypass with external reservoirs. The Mohave comes with a unique off-road four-wheel-drive system that automatically adjusts the throttle and transmission for better control when driving at high speeds on rough terrain. An optional step sand-slider protects the frame from dirt and rocks, while the 17-inch wheels and 33-inch all-terrain tires take you over any surface.

The Road Ready Overland

If you like to stay on the road, the Overland has a more upscale cabin with power windows, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and automatic climate control.

Standard Safety Features With the 2021 Jeep Cherokee

When it comes to selecting the right vehicle, it's important to choose one with safety features that will help you drive with confidence while keeping your most precious cargo safe and sound. The 2021 Jeep Cherokee comes loaded with several standard safety features so that you can enjoy any drive with peace of mind. Let's explore the Cherokee's impressive safety technology. Monitoring Systems Jeep understands that there are many things that can distract you when you're on the road. That's why it gives the Cherokee several monitoring systems that help you keep an eye on things. Full-speed collision warning scans the road for potential collisions. If it senses that a collision is imminent, the system will issue audio and visual alerts. If you're unable to respond in time, the collision warning system can apply the brakes. A blind-spot monitor lets you know what's going on in those impossible-to-see blind spots, alerting you when a vehicle enters your blind spot zones. If you're backing out of a parking spot or driveway, the rear cross-path detection will let you know if a vehicle or pedestrian is about to enter your path. The lane sense departure warning will steer the Cherokee back into place if it starts to drift. more Parking Assistance Parking is no longer a challenge thanks to the Jeep Cherokee's park view rear backup camera. Not only does the camera provide you a clear image of what's behind the vehicle, but it also displays dynamic grid lines to guide you in or out of your parking space. As you drive in reverse, the system will bring hidden rear objects to your attention. Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers For the 2021 lineup, Jeep makes its rain-sensing windshield wipers a standard Cherokee feature for the first time ever. The wipers activate as soon as they sense condensation. They'll also adjust when rainfall gets heavier or lighter. Fumbling with your windshield wipers is just one less distraction you'll have to deal with when you drive the Cherokee. Crash Protection With its reinforced high-strength steel frame, the Jeep Cherokee surrounds everyone inside in safety and security by maximizing crash protection. This innovative frame also enhances the Cherokee's performance dynamics. Front and rear crumple zones absorb and redirect energy during a crash to reduce the impact on you and your passengers. Interior Safety Features The Cherokee's cabin features six occupant-sensing air bags, surrounding you with even more protection. Upon a crash, the Cherokee's pre-tensioner seatbelts will keep you and your passengers secure in your seats and help reduce injuries. A panic alarm will alert others when you need assistance. To make sure the little ones are safe and sound, the Cherokee offers a LATCH safety-seat system and rear child safety locks. While a six-way adjustable driver's seat and ergonomic steering wheel might sound like luxuries, they play a part in keeping you safe by reducing driver fatigue and helping you stay alert. As you can see, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee has the safety features necessary to keep you safe and secure no matter where you're going.

From the Wrangler to the Grand Cherokee and the new Gladiator, Jeep has an SUV that will get you to your adventure and take you over any terrain. Take a look at some of the best Jeep models for your next adventure. The Wrangler You can't talk about adventures and not start with the Jeep Wrangler. It is the most off-road capable model in the lineup. The Wrangler comes in two versions, the two-door and the four-door Unlimited, with the latter becoming the preferred model for many drivers. For 2021, Jeep added two new powertrains and a new Rubicon 392 to the lineup. The powertrains include a plug-in hybrid 4xe and a 470-horsepower V-6 for the new Rubicon 392.

It offers two soft tops and a hardtop, the option between a V-6 gas engine or a new V-6 diesel engine and a five-foot bed. When fully equipped, the Gladiator can tow up to 7,760 pounds, and the longer wheelbase helps it ride better on the road.

It has room for five, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 180 horsepower, and the lower trims come with a fun six-speed manual transmission. There's a Compass trim for any adventure, whether you want to stay on the road or head over rough terrain. The off-road Trailhawk has a raised suspension, skid plates, tow hooks, and off-road tires.
