Jeep has a tradition of building special edition models to cater to particular markets, such as the Texas-exclusive Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail model, assembled for Texans seeking a reasonably priced off-roader. On July 16, 2024, the automaker premiered the Gladiator High Tide Edition. It arrives to celebrate the 21st annual Jeep Beach event in Daytona Beach, Florida and features tailored standard equipment.
Custom-Made Jeep Gladiator for Floridians
It is worth noting that the first-ever Gladiator High Tide Edition is a Florida-only affair. Jeep rolled out the Wrangler High Tide Edition in the 2022 and 2023 model years, so it is time for the Gladiator to receive special accouterments. The brand calls it a “vibrant” variant and displays a single photograph of the pickup truck, similar to what it did in previous years with other High Tide iterations. Indeed, Jeep photoshopped the 2023 version utilizing the same background as in 2022.
The manufacturer adds the High Tide to the table as a testament to the Jeep community in the Sunshine State. The model is credited with the iconic Jeep 4×4 capability and a unique appearance that makes it stand out from the crowd, setting it apart from its Gladiator siblings. Jeep executives also highlighted the significance of the high number of attendees at the Jeep Beach 2024 event, underscoring it as confirmation of Floridians’ long-standing devotion to the brand’s vehicles. That is exactly why the state is now acquiring the Jeep Gladiator High Tide Edition.
“Florida’s annual Jeep Beach event, attended this year by 250,000 people and 40,000 Jeep SUVs and midsize pickup trucks over the two weekends, is one of the largest Jeep brand gatherings globally and a testament to Floridians’ deep passion for our 4×4 vehicles. This Jeep Gladiator High Tide Edition celebrates their spirit with a model specifically built for the sunshine state.”

The distinctive truck is underpinned by the Jeep Gladiator Sport S. It retains its burly appearance, rear badging, and customized hood while donning enhanced off-road prowess. Moreover, the two-speed transfer case with a 2.71:1 low-range gear ratio and Jeep Command-Trac 4×4 part-time system make it the off-road expert it has been since day one.

- Bright White

It rides on 17-inch black-painted aluminum wheels encircled by 32-inch mud-terrain tires. The seats are trimmed in premium Black McKinley.

Power windows and door locks, a remote start system, power heated mirrors, and keyless entry are also on the menu.
The driver can control most functions of the Gladiator with the assistance of the 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen display unit. Jeep makes no compromise in terms of safety and installs first- and second-row side-curtain airbags. A universal garage door opener and adaptive cruise control are also included.
