2026 Jeep® Gladiator: Open-Air Strength for Real Truck Life
The 2026 Jeep® Gladiator brings open-air freedom to a midsize truck built with 4x4 strength. For Waukee, IA drivers, that means pickup utility with the Trail-Rated® confidence expected from a Jeep vehicle. At Deery Brothers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Waukee, we help you explore a truck that can tow, haul, and venture beyond the pavement.
Power and Performance
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator runs on a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine that delivers 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission helps keep power smooth whether you are moving through town or heading toward gravel outside Waukee. Standard 4x4 capability gives this new Jeep truck the traction foundation shoppers expect.
Trail Rated® engineering backs up the attitude. Available Rock-Trac® 4x4 and Tru-Lok® electronic locking differentials help the Jeep Gladiator handle rougher ground. That combination makes the Jeep truck useful for muddy job entrances, uneven campsites, and changing Iowa weather.
Towing and Cargo
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator is built to haul more than a weekend bag. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 7,700 lbs and carry up to 1,720 lbs of 4x4 payload. Its five-foot cargo bed adds practical space for tools, bikes, camping gear, or home-project supplies.
Technology Features
Inside, the 2026 Jeep Gladiator keeps the cabin rugged but connected. A 12.3-inch touchscreen anchors the Uconnect® 5 system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, so maps, calls, and playlists stay easy to reach. Available navigation, vehicle health reports, and connected services add useful information without burying drivers in menus.
The cabin also supports truck life with available weather-resistant features and lockable storage. Our team can help you compare trims with display, audio, and comfort options that fit how you plan to drive.
Safety Features
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator offers smart support for busy streets, parking lots, and trail access points. Available driver-assistance features include ParkSense® Rear Park Assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection, and forward collision warning, depending on configuration. These features add awareness while keeping the driver in command.
