The heart of the 2026 Jeep Gladiator is a 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 260 pound feet of torque. Whether you are heading out on a jobsite or taking on a weekend adventure, that power supports strong towing and hauling capabilities. Some four wheel drive configurations offer a maximum towing capacity of 7700 pounds and a maximum payload of up to 1720 pounds.

With its capable four wheel drive systems such as the standard Command Trac part time 4x4, the Gladiator provides low range gearing ideal for navigating mud, sand, snow, and steep terrain. Off road focused trims enhance performance even further with heavy duty suspension components, reinforced frame elements, skid plates, and all terrain tires that allow the Gladiator to take on challenging environments with confidence.
