Well, it was only a matter of time before Jeep announced yet another special edition Gladiator to try and drum up interest in the not-briskly selling midsize pickup. For the 2025 model year, the newest such Gladiator is the Dark Sky Edition, with an almost black-on-black body that adds a bit more features as part of the total package. Will it be enough to juice sales of Jeep's pickup truck?

To start, the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Dark Sky edition is not a bad-looking package. The inclusion of body-color fender flares and gloss black bumper inserts are a nice touch for the Sport S trim it's based on, which otherwise wears black plastic pieces. You also get the performance hood from the Mojave to bulk up the looks of the standard Gladiator Sport S design, dark emblems and decals, and tinted daytime running lamps.
Jeep also allows Dark Sky buyers to option the body-color hardtop without jumping into the premium package that usually adds another $4,295 to the $43,595 MSRP of the regular Sport S (for a total of $49,885). There's nothing new for the interior and the Dark Sky edition; it is just simply an appearance package.
Other than those exterior additions, the only other thing the Dark Sky edition adds is cost to the Sport S. By adding the $1,495 package, your new grand total for the 2025 Jeep Gladiator Dark Sky edition is $45,090 before other options.
