The Gladiator Willys edition draws inspiration from the very first Willys-Overland Pickup of 1947.

Following the good response received by the Jeep Wrangler Willys limited edition model, the American marque is expanding its Willys Edition line-up by bringing the Gladiator pick-up under its rubric. Over the standard Gladiator models, the Willys edition comes with some extra bells & whistles, not to mention the exclusive Willys sticker work on the exterior. Plus, it's available in two variants – Sport and Sport S.

The rest of the features list remains the standard – Jeep’s Command-Trac 4x4 system, a two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio and the Jeep UConnect® 4 infotainment system (with a seven-inch touchscreen) that offers Apple CarPlay support and Android Auto integration (available with the Sport S).

Available in eight colour options, the Gladiator Willys edition, like all Gladiator iterations, is also Trail Rated.
