Granger Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
The news for the 2026 Jeep Gladiator is an expanded lineup, marked by the addition of two nostalgic trims. Paying tribute to Jeep's military heritage and 1960s-era Kaiser Jeep M715 is the Willys '41; it’s distinguished by signature olive drab paint and other treatments. The other newcomer is the Gladiator 85th Anniversary Edition, which celebrates Jeep’s history and trend-setting design with its distinctive plaid seat inserts and bronze-finished tow hooks. The Gladiator continues to be a most capable off-roader, with the added practicality of a 5-foot cargo bed.
The Gladiator in Sport S trim gains heated power side mirrors, automatic headlights, deeply tinted sunscreen glass, premium wrapping for the steering wheel, illuminated vanity mirrors, a security alarm, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Safety is upgraded with Full-Speed Forward-Collision Warning Plus.
Off-road capability is enhanced with the Willys trim. This Gladiator has a Tru-Lok rear-locking differential, an Off-Road Plus driving mode, heavy-duty engine cooling, a Gorilla Glass windshield, cab rock rails, and on/off-road tires. Its other standard equipment includes automatic climate control, LED exterior lighting (headlights and taillights), a power dome hood, proximity keyless entry, a 7-inch driver information display, gloss-black exterior accents, a Class IV receiver hitch, trailer-hitch zoom, and all-weather slush mats.
The Willys ‘41 stands out with an exclusive military-inspired olive drab paint color, paired with retro decals and unique exterior treatments for a vintage Jeep look. This trim also has a winch-capable steel front bumper, a performance hood, a grille guard, exclusive interior accents, and a daytime running lights system.
Opting for the Sahara trim adds additional comfort and upscale touches to the Gladiator. These features include McKinley leatherette upholstery, heated front seats with power controls (eight-way for the driver and four-way for the passenger), a heated steering wheel, and a three-piece hardtop (in addition to the soft top). This trim also has a rear sliding window, upgraded door trim, a rear armrest with cupholders, remote start, emergency call capability, and 18-inch wheels.
The 85th Anniversary Edition is a Willys-based trim that adds to the aesthetics with unique badging, exclusive interior accents, plaid seat inserts, upgraded LED headlights, bronze-finished tow hooks, and Steel Oxide-finish wheels. Equipment-wise, this trim adds heated front seats, a 400-watt power inverter, a 115-volt AC outlet, Berber-style floor mats, HD Radio, integrated navigation, and an Alpine premium sound system.
The Rubicon expands on the off-road capabilities of the Willys by adding wide Dana 44 front and rear axles, red Tenneco heavy-duty shocks, a Tru-Lok front locking differential, front sway bar disconnect, a 4.1 axle ratio, a Rock-Trac 4:1 transfer case, and 33-inch all-terrain tires. The Gladiator is also outfitted with a steel rear bumper, cargo bed rock rails, a dual-vented hood, full LED exterior lighting, and highline fender flares. Its additional upgrades include a rear center console with USB ports, an off-road switch bank, a 115-volt AC outlet, and adaptive cruise control.
The Shadow Ops is a Rubicon-based Gladiator that adds a factory Warn electric winch, a steel front bumper, and blackout styling for a more tactical, trail-ready setup. It also comes with a three-piece hardtop (in addition to the soft top), a rear sliding window, and all-weather slush mats.
Luxury and technology underscore the Rubicon X. It’s outfitted with Nappa leather upholstery, heated front seats with power controls (eight-way for the driver and four-way for the passenger), a heated steering wheel, a three-piece hardtop with a headliner, and a rear sliding window. The cabin also features premium door trim panels, a leather-wrapped shift knob and parking brake handle, a rear armrest with cupholders, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. There are also numerous technology upgrades, including blind-spot monitoring, cross-path detection, the ParkSense rear park assist system, automatic high beams, and a forward-facing TrailCam. The infotainment array is expanded to include integrated navigation, HD Radio, voice command, a wireless speaker, and Alpine premium audio.
The Mojave is equipped similarly to the Rubicon, but it’s engineered for high-speed desert running rather than low-speed rock crawling. Instead of the Rubicon’s 4:1 transfer case and front locking differential, the Mojave uses a desert-tuned suspension with FOX internal bypass shocks, a reinforced frame setup, and specialized engine cooling to handle sustained high-speed off-road driving, while retaining a rear locking differential for added traction.
The Mojave X combines the Mojave’s desert-focused off-road hardware with the same luxury and tech upgrades found on the Rubicon X, effectively pairing high-speed capability with features like leather upholstery, expanded safety technology, premium audio, and navigation.
Combining unmistakable Jeep capability with the versatility of a midsize pickup, the 2026 Jeep Gladiator delivers a driving experience unlike anything else on the road. As one of the only convertible trucks available today, the Gladiator stands apart with its removable top, quick-release doors, and fold-down windshield for open-air freedom whenever adventure calls. Its durable 5-foot steel bed, practical cargo solutions, and class-leading gas towing capability of up to 7,700 pounds make it as functional as it is rugged.
