Engines, trims, technology, and capability — the full picture before you dig into specifics.
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator is a midsize pickup truck built on the Wrangler platform, sold in nine trims from the value-focused Sport ($39,820 to start) up through Sahara, Mojave/Mojave X, and Rubicon/Rubicon X (topping out above $60,000). Every trim runs the same 3.6L Pentastar V6 (285 hp / 260 lb-ft) and 8-speed automatic, in a single 4-door crew-cab body style with a 5-foot steel bed and standard 4WD. Properly equipped, it tows up to 7,700 lbs. — a genuine advantage for Seacoast buyers hauling a boat to the water or gear out Route 1 for a jobsite.
New for 2026 is the heritage-styled Willys '41, plus revised door hinges that make removing the doors quicker on every trim. Every Gladiator now runs Uconnect 5 with a 12.3-inch touchscreen standard — the largest standard screen and the most USB ports in its class — along with Jeep's Off-Road Trail Guides built into navigation on Sport S and above.
