2026 Jeep Gladiator: Interior, Trims, and Pricing

The 2026 Jeep Gladiator is the only open-air pickup truck in the midsize segment — a true crew-cab pickup with removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and a removable roof, paired with best-in-class V6 towing and payload. For shoppers across Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Phelan, and Adelanto, the 2026 lineup expands with a new comfort-focused Sahara trim, an enhanced door hinge system for faster top-off freedom, and the heritage-inspired Willys ’41 buzz model. This page covers everything High Desert buyers need to make the call: complete trim lineup with verified MSRPs, what comes standard inside, and a closer look at the Willys ’41 Edition.

2026 Jeep Gladiator Trim Lineup & Pricing

Every 2026 Gladiator runs the same powertrain — a 3.6L Pentastar V6 making 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case. There is no manual transmission and no diesel engine for 2026. What separates the trims is off-road hardware, comfort content, and styling.

What’s New for 2026

• Sahara joins the lineup — Jeep’s comfort-and-style trim returns to the Gladiator with body-color fender flares, body-color three-piece hardtop, LED headlamps and fog lamps, 18-inch aluminum wheels, McKinley leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
• Enhanced door hinge system — quicker and easier door removal for true open-air freedom.
• Willys ’41 buzz model — a heritage tribute to the Kaiser Jeep M715 military truck.
• Optional aggressive all-terrain tires for Sport S — new for buyers who want more bite without stepping up to Willys or Rubicon.
• New limited-edition colors — Reign (a deep purple) and Goldilocks (late availability).
• Standard side curtain airbags in both first and second rows.

Sport — Entry Point

The Sport is the most affordable way into the 2026 Gladiator at $38,830 MSRP*. It includes the standard 285-hp Pentastar V6, 8-speed automatic, Command-Trac NV241 part-time 4WD with two-speed transfer case, the standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, and the segment-exclusive removable doors, fold-down windshield, and removable roof. With the optional Max Trailer Tow Group (4.10 axle ratio, Class IV receiver, heavy-duty 240-amp alternator, heavy-duty cooling, wide-track axles), a properly equipped Sport reaches up to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity and 1,720 pounds of payload — both best-in-class figures for a gas-powered midsize pickup.

Sport S — More Comfort, Same Capability

Stepping up to Sport S at $42,025 MSRP* adds adaptive cruise control standard, a vehicle theft alarm, and broader availability of comfort and convenience features through Jeep’s Convenience Group. For 2026, Sport S also offers optional aggressive all-terrain tires — a new addition for buyers who want more off-road look without stepping up to Willys.

Willys — Heritage Off-Road for Less

The Willys at $45,230 MSRP* is the most affordable Gladiator with a factory electronic locking rear differential (Tru-Lok). It adds the Willys Suspension package, mold-in color bumpers with gloss black accents, 17-inch machined/painted gray wheels, LT255/75R17C off-road tires, Off-Road+ mode, and the Trailer Tow and AUX Switch Group standard. For the High Desert driver who wants real off-road hardware without the Rubicon price step, Willys is the value play.

Sahara — New for 2026, Comfort First

The Sahara at $47,125 MSRP* is the headline addition to the 2026 lineup. Inspired by the Sahara nameplate first introduced in 1988, it bundles body-color fender flares, a body-color three-piece hardtop, LED headlamps and fog lamps, 18-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires (optional all-terrain at no cost, late availability), McKinley leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 7-inch driver cluster, and the 12.3-inch touchscreen. Jeep positions Sahara as a 53% value-add versus a typically equipped Sport S — about $4,685 in additional content for a $2,210 MSRP step.

Mojave & Mojave X — Desert Rated

The Mojave at $52,000 MSRP* is Jeep’s only Desert Rated model. It’s tuned for high-speed off-road runs with FOX internal-bypass external-reservoir shocks, FOX front hydraulic jounce bumpers, a 4.10 axle ratio standard, Tru-Lok electronic locking rear differential, and optional Selec-Trac full-time transfer case. The Mojave X package adds heated leather-trimmed seats with 12-way power front adjustment, body-color hardtop and fender flares, hardtop headliner, Convenience and Technology Groups, steel bumpers, and the Active Safety Group — bringing the total to $59,995 MSRP*. For drivers who actually run the dunes and washboard backroads outside Adelanto and Lucerne Valley, this is the trim built for it.

Rubicon & Rubicon X — Trail Rated

The Rubicon at $52,000 MSRP* is the Trail Rated flagship. It comes standard with Rock-Trac NV241 OR transfer case (4:1 low-gear ratio), Tru-Lok electronic locking front and rear differentials, electronically controlled front sway-bar disconnect, and 33-inch off-road tires. The Rubicon X package at $59,995 MSRP* adds heated leather-trimmed seats with 12-way power, body-color hardtop and fender flares, the Convenience and Technology Groups, steel front bumper, and the Active Safety Group. For Hesperia and Phelan drivers who tackle technical rock crawling and steep grades, Rubicon is the answer.

*MSRP shown excludes destination, taxes, title, and registration fees. MSRP is set by the manufacturer; the final sale price is set by the dealer.

Off-Road Geometry (All Trims, Best Configurations)

Standard Interior Features of the 2026 Jeep Gladiator

The Gladiator’s cabin is built around Jeep’s open-air DNA, which means design priorities are different from a typical crew-cab pickup. Removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and a three-piece removable roof mean the cabin is engineered for dust, sand, water, and weather first, with comfort layered on top. Drainage plugs in the floor, washable surfaces, and rugged materials are standard equipment, not afterthoughts.

Seating & Cabin Space

The 60/40 split-folding rear seat opens up additional in-cabin cargo flexibility, with lockable under-seat storage available as part of the Trail Rail Cargo Management Group.

Technology — Uconnect 5 Standard Across the Lineup

Every 2026 Gladiator — from Sport on up — comes standard with Uconnect 5 running on a 12.3-inch touchscreen. That’s the largest standard touchscreen in the midsize pickup class. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Sport, Sport S, and Willys can optionally add the Technology Group, which adds Uconnect 5 NAV with Integrated Off-Road Trail Guides (including Jeep Badge of Honor trails), a nine-speaker Alpine premium audio system with all-weather subwoofer and 552-watt amplifier, a removable Bluetooth wireless speaker, an inside electrochromatic rearview mirror, and a 115V interior outlet. The 2026 Gladiator also offers the most USB ports in its class — four USB ports and three USB-C ports.

Safety & Driver Assistance by Trim

Blind-spot monitoring and rear park assist are bundled in the Jeep Active Safety Group, available across the lineup.

Comfort & Convenience Features by Trim

Materials & Storage

The cabin uses durable, washable materials throughout — appropriate for a truck designed to be hosed out after a day in the dust outside Phelan or the dunes near Lucerne Valley. Soft-touch surfaces appear on the dashboard and door panels. The Trail Rail Cargo Management Group, optional across the lineup, adds three box rails, four anchor pods, a 115-volt bed power outlet, a roll-up tonneau cover, and a lockable rear under-seat storage bin.

2026 Gladiator Willys ’41 Edition Spotlight

The Willys ’41 is the most distinctive 2026 buzz model — a factory-built heritage tribute to the Kaiser Jeep M715 military truck. Built on the Willys mechanical platform, it stacks military-inspired styling on top of genuine off-road equipment.

What Makes the Willys ’41 Different

*MSRP shown excludes destination, taxes, title, and registration fees. MSRP is set by the manufacturer; the final sale price is set by the dealer.

Who the Willys ’41 Is For

The Willys ’41 is the move for High Desert buyers who want a factory-built statement piece — military heritage styling, real off-road hardware (the rear locker, mud terrains, steel bumpers, and triple-hoop grille guard are all functional, not just cosmetic), and Alpine audio for daily comfort. It’s a more distinctive look than the standard Willys without stepping up to Mojave or Rubicon pricing.
