Every Gladiator is Trail Rated and fords up to 31.5 in of water. The Rubicon's 4:1 low range gives a crawl ratio of up to 77:1, and it's named for the Rubicon Trail just west of Lake Tahoe. The Mojave's FOX shocks are tuned to soak up whoops and washboard at speed. See every measurement in our Gladiator specifications guide.
Every 2026 Gladiator uses the 3.6L Pentastar V6, rated at 285 hp and 260 lb-ft, with an 8-speed automatic. There's no manual or diesel. It runs on regular fuel, holds 22 gallons and is EPA-rated at 17 city / 22 highway / 19 combined mpg.

Choose the Gladiator for towing, an open bed for dirty gear and dirt bikes, and a smoother highway ride from its longer wheelbase. Choose the Wrangler for tighter trails, easier parking and more engine choices.
Among 2026 midsize pickups, the Gladiator's 7,700-lb maximum ties the Chevrolet Colorado and beats the Ford Ranger (7,500 lb) and Toyota Tacoma (6,500 lb). The off-road Gladiator Rubicon tows 7,000 lb, more than the Ranger Raptor or Colorado ZR2. And it's the only one of the four with a removable roof and doors.
