2026 Jeep Gladiator Engines & Performance

Loading up for a weekend at the lake takes less planning with up to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped.

Standard 4×4 capability adds confidence when gravel, mud, or snow enters the forecast, and the Rock-Trac® 4×4 system on the Rubicon supports slow, technical climbs with an available 84:1 crawl ratio.
