Powertrain and Performance Built for Jeep Capability

Performance is where the 2026 Jeep Gladiator truly separates itself from many other midsize trucks. Every Gladiator is powered by the trusted 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, producing 285 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.

The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and Jeep’s proven four-wheel-drive systems to deliver dependable performance both on the road and on rugged trails.

Different trims offer unique drivetrain setups. The Command-Trac part-time 4x4 system comes standard on Sport and Mojave models, while the Rock-Trac heavy-duty 4x4 system with a 4:1 low-range ratio is reserved for the Gladiator Rubicon 4x4, giving serious off-road enthusiasts exceptional crawling capability.

The Gladiator’s suspension options vary by trim as well. Mojave models use FOX performance internal bypass shocks with remote reservoirs and hydro jounce bumpers, while Rubicon models include heavy-duty suspension and a front disconnecting stabilizer bar for improved articulation on rocky terrain.

When it comes to capability, this truck is ready for serious work and recreation. The Gladiator offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped, making it suitable for hauling trailers, boats, or camping equipment.

The available Max Tow Package further enhances towing with upgrades such as:

  • 10 axle ratio
  • Dana M210 wide front axle
  • Dana M220 wide rear axle
  • Anti-spin rear differential
  • Heavy-duty engine cooling
  • Class IV hitch receiver

With this setup, the Gladiator proves that Jeep capability isn’t limited to SUVs – it works just as well in a pickup truck.

Technology that Keeps You Connected

Even with its rugged design, the 2026 Jeep Gladiator includes modern technology that keeps drivers connected and entertained. The centerpiece of the cabin is the Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, which provides clear graphics and intuitive controls.

Technology highlights include:

  • Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Compatibility
  • Integrated voice command
  • SiriusXM® with 360L

  • Alpine® premium audio system (available)

Other available tech upgrades include a wireless Bluetooth® speaker for outdoor use, a Wi-Fi hotspot through Jeep Connect services, multiple USB charging ports, and a digital instrument cluster display for vehicle information and performance data.

These technology features make the Gladiator just as comfortable for daily driving as it is for weekend trail adventures.
