Power and Performance
Every 2026 Jeep Gladiator runs on the proven 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that generates 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers can choose between multiple four-wheel drive systems like Command-Trac®, Selec-Trac®, and Rock-Trac®, each delivering enhanced traction for snow, gravel, or steep inclines.
Off-road features such as heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, available front sway bar disconnect, and steel skid plates ensure this new Jeep truck handles both farm trails and rugged terrain with ease.
Towing and Cargo
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator delivers a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 lbs when properly equipped, alongside a 1,720-lb payload capacity. With a five-foot steel bed, tie-down points, and under-rail lighting, it's ready for both work and recreation. A spray-in bedliner, available tonneau cover, and trailer brake controller help manage heavy loads and protect your gear.
