The sun isn’t the only thing going dark today. To mark the full solar eclipse sweeping through the nation, Jeep unveils a new “NightHawk” package to grace the 2024 Gladiator.
While the brand touts the NightHawk upgrade as a “black appearance and capability package,” it’s really a color-matched-with black-wheels package.
“Today, many of us will witness a celestial marvel, and here, back on Earth, the Jeep brand is marking the occasion with the introduction of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator NightHawk,” Bill Peffer, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America, said. “Built from the entry-level Sport model, the new NightHawk package adds both cosmetic and capability enhancements to the 2024 Jeep Gladiator Sport, including new, signature black exterior highlights, rugged all-terrain tires, and Dana 44 front and rear axles.”
Off-road capability wise, the Gladiator loses a lot with the massive 20-inch gloss black wheels, but gains a little back with the all-terrain rubber (even though they have very narrow sidewalls). Still, it’ll earn some trail cred with included rock rails and limited slip rear axle.
Here’s a look at what the NightHawk package is all about.
Gladiator NightHawk Package
The NighHawk package is only available on the 2024 Jeep Gladiator Sport. It will cost an additional $5,295.
It includes:
- 20-inch Painted Gloss Black Aluminum Wheels
- All-Terrain Tires

Not only can you order a 2024 Jeep Gladiator Sport with the NighHawk package in Black, but you can also get it in all the current exterior colors on offer, with paint matched tops and fender flares.
