Jeep Launches California-Exclusive 2025 Gladiator Big Bear Edition

Jeep has unveiled the 2025 Gladiator Big Bear Edition, a California-exclusive model that pays tribute to the state’s diverse landscapes and adventurous spirit — limited to 5,000 units.

Named after Southern California’s four-season Big Bear Lake and the iconic California grizzly bear, the Big Bear Edition builds off the Gladiator Sport S with rugged upgrades and premium features designed for outdoor exploration. Off-road enhancements include 17-inch black-painted wheels wrapped in 32-inch mud-terrain tires, steel rock rails and Jeep’s Command-Trac 4×4 system with a two-speed transfer case.

A body-color hardtop, removable doors and a fold-down windshield highlight the Gladiator’s class-exclusive open-air freedom. Inside, drivers will find heated McKinley-trimmed leather seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen featuring apps like Geocaching, The Dyrt and a digital AppMarket with access to over-the-air updates.

The Big Bear Edition comes in seven color options, including a new-for-2025 shade named ‘41 and features unique hood and tailgate badging. This special-edition Gladiator is available now at California dealerships, starting at $46,090 USD.
