2027 Jeep Gladiator Trims
Nine trims and the new Sarge, one V6, one 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, from the Sport S to the Rubicon X.
Quick Answer
Choosing a 2027 Gladiator trim is a three-way decision: how much you tow, how rough your roads and trails get, and how much comfort you want on the daily drive. The lineup spans nine trims and one special edition, from about $42,100 at the bottom to the mid-$60s at the top, and every one of them shares the same engine, so the question is never power. It is what surrounds the engine.
Jeep Portsmouth stocks the Gladiator lineup for shoppers from Exeter, Dover, Somersworth and Rochester, so any two trims can be driven back to back on the same afternoon. The 2027 Gladiator Research Hub gathers the whole lineup in one place.
Prices are rounded starting points before the $1,995 destination fee, and they can move a little during the model year. Base towing is for the crew cab 4x4.
| Trim | Starting price | Base towing | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sport S | about $42,100 | 4,500 lbs | The entry Gladiator with adaptive cruise control with stop |
| Willys | high $40s | 6,000 lbs | Mud-terrain tires, Willys suspension, Tru-Lok rear axle |
| Sahara | high $40s | 4,500 lbs | Leather, power seats and remote start as standard |
| Sport RHD | high $40s | ask the team | The right-hand-drive Sport configuration |

Every trim shares one powertrain: the 3.6L V6 with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft, an 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. What changes from trim to trim is suspension, axles, tires, seats, technology and driver assistance, all in a four-door crew cab with a 5-foot steel bed.
About $42,100, plus destination. The way into the Gladiator. Standard equipment includes cloth low-back bucket seats, Command-Trac part-time four-wheel drive, Dana 44 front and rear axles with a 3.73 axle ratio, all-terrain tires on 17-inch machined wheels, skid plates under the fuel tank, transmission and transfer case, a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and adaptive cruise control with stop. A 7-pin and 4-pin trailer wiring harness and electronic trailer sway control are standard too, so the Sport S is ready for a trailer once you add the hitch group. Optional groups add heated seats and remote start, a Class IV receiver hitch with four auxiliary switches, and a black three-piece Freedom Top. Base towing is 4,500 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. This is the trim for a daily driver who wants a bed and the open-air Jeep feel without paying for trail hardware.
High $40s, plus destination. The Willys is the Sport platform with the off-road package added: mud-terrain tires, Willys suspension, a Tru-Lok rear axle, Off-Road Plus mode, painted black wheels, LED fog lamps and adaptive cruise control with stop. Standard equipment also includes cab rock rails, LED headlamps, body-color fender flares, a Class IV receiver hitch, four programmable auxiliary switches and automatic temperature control. Base towing is 6,000 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. The Willys is the trim for a driver who wants real capability and a lower price than the Rubicon, and a good fit for a boat owner who launches at the Hilton Park ramp.
High $40s, plus destination. The Gladiator for the comfort-first buyer. Leather seats, dual power front seats, remote start, a heated steering wheel, an integrated garage door opener and heated mirrors are standard, and the tires are all-season for a quieter highway ride. Base towing is 4,500 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. For a commuter who runs I-95 every morning and still wants a bed for the weekend, the Sahara is the comfortable way in.
High $40s, plus destination. The right-hand-drive Sport configuration, listed with alloy wheels as an option and a shorter list of standard convenience features than the Sahara. It suits a driver with a specific right-hand-drive need, and the sales team can walk you through how a particular unit is equipped.
Low $50s, plus destination. A retro-styled special edition with the Sahara-level standard list: leather seats, power seats, remote start, a heated steering wheel and an integrated garage door opener. Base towing is 4,500 lbs and base payload is 1,025 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. It is the choice for a buyer who wants a Gladiator that looks different from every other truck on the road.
Mid-$50s, plus destination. The trail benchmark. Tru-Lok locking differentials sit at both axles, with Dana 44 wide axles, a 4.10 axle ratio, a front disconnecting stabilizer bar, a 4:1 Rock-Trac part-time 4WD system, 285/70R17 all-terrain tires, cab and bed steel rock rails and four skid plates. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, Uconnect 5 Nav, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot and adaptive cruise control with stop are standard, with 43 degrees of approach, 26 degrees of departure and 11.1 inches of ground clearance. Base towing is 7,000 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. The Rubicon is for the driver who wants the most trail hardware per dollar, and a strong fit for frost-heaved back roads.
Mid-$50s, plus destination. Jeep's Desert Rated Gladiator, built for speed over rough ground rather than slow crawling. FOX 2.5 performance shocks and hydro jounce bumpers, a Tru-Lok rear axle, a 4.10 axle ratio and 285/70R17 all-terrain tires come standard, with 45 degrees of approach, 26 degrees of departure and 11.6 inches of ground clearance, the most in the lineup. Adaptive cruise control with stop, heated seats, a heated steering wheel and a 7.0-inch color cluster display are standard. Base towing is 6,000 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. The Mojave suits a driver who wants a smooth, controlled ride over washboard and washed-out roads.
Low $60s, plus destination. The Mojave with its premium package: leather-trimmed bucket seats with sport bolsters, eight-way power front seats, Alpine premium audio, blind-spot and rear cross-path detection, rear park assist, a forward-facing TrailCam, a winch-capable steel front bumper, a steel rear bumper, cab and bed steel rock rails, a cargo group with trail rails, a roll-up tonneau cover, a bed outlet and a lockable under-seat storage bin. Base towing is 6,000 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. It is the Gladiator for a buyer who wants the Mojave's suspension and every convenience in one truck.
Mid-$60s, plus destination. The top of the lineup. The Rubicon X adds Nappa leather power seats, Alpine audio, blind-spot and rear cross-path detection, rear park assist, a forward-facing TrailCam, a winch-capable steel front bumper, a cargo group with trail rails, a roll-up tonneau cover and a lockable under-seat storage bin to the Rubicon's locking differentials, and a Warn electric front winch is available. Base towing is 7,000 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. It is the one for a driver who wants the full trail kit and a premium cabin together.
Starting MSRP $500 over a comparably equipped Willys or Rubicon. The new heritage special edition, based on the Willys and the Rubicon, with the white-and-olive military styling Jeep unveiled for 2027. It carries the same mechanical hardware and tow ratings as the trim it is built on. Ask the team which Sarge units are on the lot.
Every trim runs the 3.6L V6 with four-wheel drive in a five-seat crew cab with a 5-foot bed. The columns below show what changes.
| Trim | Key standard equipment | Base towing | Ground clearance | Headline technology |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sport S | Command-Trac 4WD, adaptive cruise with stop | 4,500 lbs | 10.0 inches | 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 |
| Willys | Willys suspension, Tru-Lok rear axle, cab rock rails | 6,000 lbs | 10.0 inches | 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 |
| Sahara | Leather, power seats, remote start | 4,500 lbs | 10.0 inches | 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 |
| Rewind | Leather, power seats, remote start | 4,500 lbs | 10.0 inches | 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 |
| Rubicon | Front and rear lockers, Rock-Trac 4x4 | 7,000 lbs | 11.1 inches | Uconnect 5 Nav, 4G LTE hot spot |
| Mojave | FOX 2.5 shocks, Tru-Lok rear axle | 6,000 lbs | 11.6 inches | Uconnect 5 Nav, 7.0-inch cluster |
| Mojave X | Leather, power seats, winch-capable bumper | 6,000 lbs | 11.6 inches | Alpine audio, top-view camera |
| Rubicon X | Nappa leather, power seats, locking differentials | 7,000 lbs | 11.1 inches | Alpine audio, top-view camera |
The Sport S and Willys share a base model, and the Willys adds a package that brings mud-terrain tires, Willys suspension, a Tru-Lok rear axle, Off-Road Plus mode and LED fog lamps. The Willys also lifts base towing from 4,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs on the crew cab 4x4. Choose the Sport S for a bed and everyday driving; choose the Willys for towing and rougher roads.
The Rubicon steps up to locking differentials at both axles, a 4:1 Rock-Trac system, a disconnecting stabilizer bar and a 7,000-lb base tow rating. The Willys is lighter on price and fits trail days that do not need that much hardware. The Rubicon fits owners who tow heavy trailers or wheel on rocky ground.
The two start close together, and they are built for different ground. The Rubicon is the slow, technical trail truck with lockers at both ends; the Mojave is the fast-ground truck with FOX shocks and the most ground clearance in the lineup. If your idea of rough is a washboard road at speed, look at the Mojave. If it is a rock ledge, look at the Rubicon.
Both X trims add leather, power seats, blind-spot detection and a premium audio system to their parent trim. The Mojave X keeps the FOX suspension; the Rubicon X keeps the front and rear locking differentials and the higher 7,000-lb base tow rating.
The Sahara is the quieter highway Gladiator with leather and power seats standard, and the Rubicon is the trail Gladiator with heated seats and the full off-road kit. If the truck mostly runs local roads with a weekend trip north, the Sahara fits. If it also meets dirt, the Rubicon covers both.
Value verdict: the Willys is the volume trim, the Rubicon is the benchmark, and every step up is built for a buyer. The Sport S is for the daily driver, the Willys for the boat owner, the Sahara for the commuter, the Rubicon for the trail, the Mojave for fast rough ground, and the X trims for the buyer who wants the premium cabin on top.
Each row below shows what a step adds and what it costs. Prices are rounded, and the number on the truck's own sticker is the one that counts.
| Step | What it adds | Price difference |
|---|---|---|
| Sport S to Willys | Mud-terrain tires, Willys suspension, Tru-Lok rear axle, 6,000-lb base tow rating | about $5,345 |
| Willys to Rubicon | Locking differentials at both axles, Rock-Trac 4x4, 7,000-lb base tow rating | about $8,255 |
| Rubicon to Mojave | FOX shocks and 11.6 inches of clearance in place of the lockers (a lateral move for different terrain) | about $500 |
| Rubicon to Rubicon X | Nappa leather power seats, blind-spot detection, winch-capable bumper, tonneau cover | about $9,295 |
| Mojave to Mojave X | Leather power seats, blind-spot detection, winch-capable bumper, tonneau cover | about $7,095 |
| Sport S to Rubicon | The full trail kit, 7,000-lb base tow rating and heated seats | about $13,600 |
