Key Features of the 2026 Jeep Gladiator
Open-Air Freedom with Tool-Free Removable Doors, Top and Windshield
Jeep® has refined the signature open-air experience with a new door hinge system that says goodbye to tools, letting you remove the doors, top, and even the windshield with less fuss and more spontaneity. It is the quickest way to transform the truck from weekday commuter to weekend adventure rig. Pair that flexibility with the cabin’s thoughtful materials and available heated eight-way power front seats, and you get comfort when you need it and fresh air when you want it. The front-row seats are designed for trail viewing, so you can place your tires precisely, and their design supports staying dry during water fording up to 31.5 inches. This is open-air confidence engineered into the truck from the outset, not an afterthought.
5-Foot Steel Bed with Integrated Tie-Downs and Easy-Lift Tailgate
Utility is a Gladiator hallmark. The tough, 5-foot steel bed is built for daily hauling, while integrated tie-downs help you secure cargo of all shapes and sizes. The easy-lift tailgate makes one-hand operation feel natural, especially when you are juggling coolers, toolboxes, or camping gear. From yard projects to overlanding setups, the bed’s layout welcomes bulky cargo without drama. The steel box construction is designed for durability over years of loading and unloading, and its dimensions balance maneuverability with usable volume. If your weekends include dirt bikes or kayaks and your weekdays involve supplies and equipment, this bed is ready to flex with your plans.
Uconnect® 5 NAV with 12.3-Inch Touchscreen and Jeep® Connect
The cabin brings modern control to every drive. A 12.3-inch touchscreen anchors the dash with vibrant maps and crisp menus powered by Uconnect® 5 NAV. Beyond turn-by-turn guidance, drivers benefit from Integrated Off-Road Adventure Guides that include all 68 Jeep® Badge of Honor® trails, helping you plan trips with detailed, trail-focused information. USB ports located throughout the cabin make it easy to keep devices charged, while Jeep® Connect via the Jeep Connect app supports remote features like Vehicle Finder and Vehicle Health Report. It is a seamless blend of navigation, convenience, and connected services that make errands, road trips, and trail days feel more organized.
Desert Rated® Mojave Hardware for High-Speed Off-Road Confidence
The Jeep® Gladiator Mojave is the only Jeep® Brand vehicle to earn the Desert Rated® Badge, and its hardware explains why. A reinforced frame, strengthened iron steering knuckles, and enhanced suspension systems are tuned for fast, controlled travel over sand and whoops. This is durability you can feel—steering precision that remains steady over chatter, suspension that keeps tires planted, and the kind of thermal and structural resilience that invites repeated high-load use. For drivers who split seat time between hardpack trails, dunes, and everyday routes, the Mojave’s chassis upgrades add a layer of confidence and endurance that is rare in the midsize pickup class.
TrailCam Off-Road Camera, Sway Bar Disconnect, and 33-Inch All-Terrain Tires
Capable hardware deserves capable visibility and articulation. The available TrailCam Off-Road Camera helps you see what is directly ahead, revealing obstacles that would otherwise be hidden from the driver’s seat. The available Sway Bar Disconnect smooths the ride and improves wheel articulation over uneven surfaces, helping the truck maintain traction when the ground turns unpredictable. Rubicon or Mojave models come standard with 33-inch all-terrain tires, adding sidewall strength and a larger contact patch to bite into rocks, dirt, and deep ruts. Steel skid plates underneath help protect the undercarriage, so you can focus less on what you might hit and more on your line.
