2027 Jeep · Truck
A Wrangler-tough midsize pickup with a 7,700-lb tow rating
Starting MSRP*$43,895
The Jeep Gladiator is a four-door midsize pickup that shares its front end, frame concept and removable-top character with the Wrangler, then adds a 5-foot bed. For 2027 it comes with one engine, a 285-hp 3.6-liter V6 paired to an eight-speed automatic, and a trim ladder that runs from the new Sport S to the desert-focused Mojave and the Rubicon. It fits buyers who want a truck that can tow and haul during the week and go properly off-road on the weekend.
The Northeast take
The Gladiator suits Northeast buyers who need a truck bed but also drive dirt roads, tow a camper or plow through winter. Four-wheel drive is standard on every trim and the single engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with 285 hp. Starting at $43,895 for the Sport S, it tows up to 7,700 pounds with the 4.10 axle and carries up to 1,720 pounds. The bed is 60.3 inches with the tailgate closed. It is not a city truck: 218.0 inches long with a 44.5-foot turning diameter. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard on the Rubicon and Mojave, and the Convenience Group, $1,795 on the Sport S, adds them to lower trims. The Trailer Tow and Auxiliary Switch Group is $995.
With the Max Tow setup on a Sport S, including the 4.10 axle ratio, the Gladiator is rated to pull 7,700 pounds. That figure comes from a single gas V6, so there is no diesel or hybrid to choose between. Rubicon models are rated at 7,000 pounds, Willys, Mojave and Rewind at 6,000, and Sahara at 4,500.
Four 4x4 systems are on the menu, from the part-time Command-Trac to Rock-Trac with 4.0:1 low range on Rubicon, which also adds locking front and rear differentials and a sway-bar disconnect. Rubicon's crawl ratio is up to 77:1, and with the 35-inch tire package ground clearance climbs to 12.9 inches with a 46.7-degree approach angle.
The bed holds 35.5 cubic feet and measures just over five feet with the tailgate closed. Rubicon X and Mojave X trims add a 115V outlet, a roll-up tonneau cover and a bed-mounted Trail Rail System, which makes camping and overlanding setups easier.
Jeep sells the Gladiator as the only pickup in its class with a removable roof, removable doors and a fold-down windshield. A black hardtop is now standard on Willys and Rubicon, and a body-color hardtop comes on Mojave.
Mojave is tuned for fast running on loose terrain rather than slow rock crawling. It uses Desert Rated hardware, FOX bypass shocks, 11.6 inches of ground clearance and a 4.10 axle, and for 2027 it gains heated seats and embedded navigation as standard.

Within limits. Jeep rates it up to 7,700 pounds on the Sport and Sport S with the 4.10 axle, but the rating drops by trim: 7,000 for the Rubicon, 6,000 for the Willys and Mojave, and 4,500 for the Sahara. Payload is 1,720 pounds at most. A mid-size boat on a trailer works; a big fifth-wheel does not. Add the $995 Trailer Tow Group.
It is a handful. At 218.0 inches long with a turning diameter of 44.5 to 44.7 feet, it is far less nimble than a Wrangler or Compass, and it can overhang a tight parallel space. If your life is mostly suburban driveways and open roads, it works well. For daily street parking in a dense neighborhood, a smaller Jeep is easier.
A Gladiator Sport S equipped with the 4.10 axle ratio is rated to tow up to 7,700 pounds. Rubicon models are rated at 7,000 pounds, Willys, Mojave and Rewind at 6,000, and Sahara at 4,500, and the 35-inch tire package lowers the rating to 5,000.
Only one: the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, which makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque and works with an eight-speed automatic. The diesel and manual transmission that were offered in earlier years are not listed for 2027.
The new Sport S is the entry trim, priced from $43,895 before destination in November 2026. Sahara starts at $48,400 and Rubicon at $55,700, while Mojave X and Rubicon X cost the most, from $63,295 and $64,180.
Mojave is built for high-speed desert driving, with a body-color hardtop and a 4.10 axle. Rubicon is built for slow rock crawling, with Rock-Trac low range, locking differentials, and a sway-bar disconnect. Both get heated seats and navigation as standard for 2027.
The bed is 60.3 inches long with the tailgate closed and 81.3 inches with it open, and it holds 35.5 cubic feet. The space between the wheelhouses is 44.8 inches.
Yes. Like the Wrangler, the Gladiator has a removable roof and doors and a windshield that folds down. A black hardtop is standard on Willys and Rubicon, and a body-color hardtop comes on the Mojave.
