About the Jeep Gladiator
A refreshing departure from an ordinary midsize pickup truck, the Jeep Gladiator helps you blaze your own trail with its impressive collection of off-road performance capabilities and unique design cues not found on the competition. Inspired by the iconic Wrangler, you won’t mistake the Gladiator for anything other than a Jeep thanks to its removable roof and door sections. Unleash the muscle of its standard 3.6-liter V6 that’s engineered to provide superior low-end torque for the standard 4X4 system of the Gladiator. Just like its Wrangler counterpart, another perk of the Gladiator is its diverse range of trim levels that spans from mild to wild. Bold exterior colors, dedicated off-road equipment, and premium interior amenities prove that the Jeep Gladiator is far from your typical midsize truck. Combining capability with confidence in ways only Jeep enthusiasts will understand, the Gladiator is ready to take on any challenge standing in its way.
What the Critics Say
What’s New for 2026
For the 2026 model year, a new special-edition variant joins the Jeep Gladiator range. Known as the Willys ‘41, these special models feature plenty of military-inspired heritage design cues. Highlights include body-colored 17-inch wheels with 32-inch mud tires, exclusive Olive Drab ‘41 exterior paint, tan interior trim, and a Heritage Plaque. Other features include its standard Performance Hood with military-inspired graphics, a Mopar Triple Hood Grille Guard, and steel bumpers for enhanced protection on the trails.
Jeep Gladiator Features

Off-Road Capability
Making history as the first-ever pickup truck to earn the exclusive Jeep Trail Rated® badge, the Gladiator is built to excel both on and off the pavement. Beneath the hood is where you’ll find its balanced 3.6-liter V6 producing 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This proven powertrain features standard four-wheel drive along with a class-leading 7,700-pound maximum towing capacity and a hefty 1,720 pounds of maximum payload (when properly equipped). Tricky mountain passes and other obstacles are no match for the optional front and rear Tru-Lok® Electronic Locking Differentials of the Jeep Gladiator. Additional off-road advantages of the Gladiator include its Rock-Trac® 4×4 System, 31.5 inches of water fording depth, and a ground clearance of up to 11.1 inches. You’ll also appreciate its available underbody skid plates and steel rock rails for additional protection.

Endless Freedom
In a segment as fiercely competitive as the midsize truck segment, it’s rare to see a single model stand out from the usual suspects. Such a model is the dynamic Jeep Gladiator, packed with plenty of class-leading options and endless ways to customize your pickup. The only convertible truck currently on the market, removing the doors and roof sections of the Gladiator lets you experience unbridled freedom and open-air adventure. It also boasts the most rear legroom in its class, allowing your whole crew to stretch out and get comfortable. Specialized Gladiator models like the Mojave and Rubicon further push the limits of versatility and practicality. Features like their standard integrated front and rear tow hooks allow you to lend a hand to stranded vehicles on the trails. While you can certainly modify other midsize trucks using aftermarket parts, only the Jeep Gladiator offers factory-built performance to help you make a statement.

Premium Interior & Technology
Roughing it in the wilderness no longer means having to sacrifice on the creature comforts you crave thanks to the premium cabin of the Jeep Gladiator. Infused with cutting-edge tech and luxurious amenities, the Gladiator is built to help you go the distance. Along with unique cloth and authentic leather upholstery options, the Gladiator also benefits from innovative under-seat storage compartments to safely secure all of your gear. You’ll have the perfect soundtrack for your next adventure thanks to the optional 552-watt Alpine® Premium Audio System with 9 speakers and a 12-channel amplifier. Both responsive and customizable, the standard Uconnect® 5 touchscreen display features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration for easy access to important information. Last but not least, there’s no substitute for the peace of mind and confidence of the standard driver-assist tech and safety features included as standard on every Jeep Gladiator.
