For people residing in California, Jeep has a surprise for you: It’s your chance to get your very own limited-edition Gladiator pickup. If you’ve been eyeing a Jeep truck that feels uniquely suited for exploring everything the Golden State has to offer, from sandy shores to rugged mountain peaks, listen up.

Jeep just unveiled the 2025 Gladiator Big Bear Edition, and as the name implies, it’s a nod to both the popular SoCal mountain destination and the grizzly bear on the state flag. The catch? It’s exclusively available for purchase in California, and only 5,000 units will be made.

What Makes The Big Bear Edition Gladiator Special?

Built upon the well-equipped Gladiator Sport S trim, the Big Bear Edition bundles a host of popular features. Visually, it stands out with unique Big Bear hood and tailgate graphics, 17-inch black aluminum wheels fitted with trail-ready 32-inch mud-terrain tires, and a body-color hardtop for a more premium look. Functional upgrades include standard steel rock rails to protect the truck’s rocker panels during off-road adventures.

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator Big Bear Edition brings Californians their own unique take on the Gladiator, a special-edition midsize pickup truck that delivers popular content as standard and at a great value, plus signature Jeep capability and open-air freedom.

Inside, the Big Bear Edition gets a significant comfort boost over the standard Sport S, featuring black McKinley-trimmed leather seats, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel—perfect for those early morning runs up the mountain or cooler coastal evenings. Tech features like the large 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, adaptive cruise control, and remote start are also part of the package.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Gladiator without serious capability. The Big Bear comes standard with the proven Command-Trac 4×4 system, featuring a two-speed transfer case and low-range gearing for tackling tough terrain. Plus, it retains the Gladiator’s unique open-air freedom options. Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf describes it as “the perfect companion for exploring California’s standout geography.”

Get One While You Can!

This California-only special edition is available to order now at Jeep dealerships across the state, with a starting MSRP of $46,090 (excluding the $1,995 destination fee). Alongside this launch, Jeep also highlighted a recent $500,000 donation by parent company Stellantis to support California wildfire relief efforts.

So, if you’re in California looking for a well-equipped, adventure-ready Gladiator with some unique Golden State flair, this limited 2025 Gladiator Big Bear Edition might be calling your name.
