2026 Jeep Gladiator

Gladiator is Jeep's midsize pickup for buyers who want Wrangler-family open-air hardware with a bed. Trade-offs: mpg and on-road refinement versus unibody trucks; capability story is the product thesis.

What's confirmed (EPA 2026)

• Gladiator 4WD 3.6L automatic: 19 mpg combined (17 city / 22 highway)

Practical notes

Expect midsize-truck mpg, not Maverick Hybrid numbers. Cross-shop Wrangler (no bed), Tacoma/Ranger Trail-oriented trims, and Bronco if open-air matters more than cargo. Tow: Jeep OEM trailering guide for the exact axle/cab package only.
