It’s early November and you’re heading to your hunting spot through muddy roads that would strand most pickups. The 2026 Jeep Gladiator thrives where others surrender, delivering legendary off-road capability with Minnesota utility. At A. M. Maus and Son, we know rural life requires a truck that conquers challenging terrain.
Trail Rated® Engineering for Minnesota Terrain
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator earns its Trail Rated® badge through rigorous testing in traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. With up to 11.6 inches of ground clearance and 31.5-inch water fording capability, creek crossings become routine obstacles. The 44.7-degree approach angle and 26-degree departure angle allow confident navigation over steep embankments and rutted field edges.
Advanced Four-Wheel-Drive Systems
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator offers multiple four-wheel-drive systems. Standard Command-Trac® provides 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio for mud, snow, and steep grades. The Rubicon trim upgrades to Rock-Trac® with 4:1 low-range gear ratio, creating a 77:1 maximum crawl ratio. Electronic locking differentials maintain traction when wheels lose ground contact.
Desert Rated® Mojave Capability
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator Mojave earns the Desert Rated® badge with reinforced frame and enhanced suspension featuring FOX 2.5-inch shocks. This suspension provides 11.6 inches of ground clearance—the highest in the lineup—for aggressive terrain.
Practical Off-Road Utility
Heavy-duty Dana 44 axles provide durability. Segment-exclusive tow hooks offer recovery points. The 5-foot steel bed includes tie-downs for hauling hunting gear, tools, or equipment.
