What It Is
The Willys is a mid level specialty trim/package (~Sport / Sport S + off road flair) that Jeep offers on the Gladiator. It adds some rugged styling and capability beyond the basic Sport/Sport S but it isnt as extreme (or as expensive) as the Rubicon level trims.
Engine / Power / Drivetrain
•Standard engine: 3.6 liter Pentastar V6, delivering about 285 horsepower and 260 lb ft of torque.
•Transmission: comes with a 6 speed manual standard. Automatic (8 speed) is optional.
•Drivetrain: Part time 4WD with two speed transfer case (with a low range gear, 2.72:1 in Willys). The Willys includes a limited-slip rear differential.

Off Road / Capability Enhancements
The Willys package adds several upgrades over the base Sport/Sport S, targeted at improving off road performance and ruggedness:
•32 inch BFGoodrich KM2 Mud Terrain tires more aggressive grip off road.
•Rock rails (Rubicon cab rock rails) and upgraded shocks borrowed from more off road trims.
•All weather floor mats, gloss black grille & Willys styling cues (hood decal, black wheels, heritage tailgate 4WD decal).
