The Gladiator Rubicon has an active front sway bar, which helps keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnects at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The Canyon doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.
The front and rear suspension of the Gladiator uses coil springs for better ride, handling and control than the Canyon, which uses leaf springs in the rear. Coil springs compress more progressively and offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride with less bottoming out.
For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Gladiator’s wheelbase is 5.9 inches longer than on the Canyon (137.3 inches vs. 131.4 inches).
For greater off-road capability the Gladiator Sport has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Canyon (10 vs. 9.6 inches), allowing the Gladiator to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The Gladiator Mojave’s minimum ground clearance is .9 inch higher than on the Canyon AT4X (11.6 vs. 10.7 inches).
