The Jeep Gladiator is a truck for people who want to get their hands dirty on the weekend, head off-road, or just have a little more fun behind the wheel. With a new trim joining the lineup, here's what Jeep has planned for new Gladiator truck features in 2027.
Key Takeaways:
- The Sarge trim gives the 2027 Gladiator a military-inspired look.
- Every Gladiator features a V6 and standard four-wheel drive.
- Gladiator Max towing capacity reaches 7,700 pounds.
What's Jeep Adding to the Gladiator for '27?
The biggest news for 2027 is the Sarge trim. According to MotorTrend, the new addition draws on Jeep's military history, giving buyers another styling option.
Otherwise, Jeep isn't making any major changes this year. The Gladiator continues with its familiar design, removable doors and roof, and existing mechanical setup.
What's Under the Gladiator's Hood?
There's just one engine available, but it's a familiar one. Every Gladiator uses a 3.6-liter V6. It cranks out 285 horses and 260 lb-ft of torque and pairs with an eight-speed automatic. Four-wheel drive is standard throughout the lineup.
Wasn't a Gladiator 4xe on the Way?
If you were hoping for a plug-in hybrid Gladiator, you're out of luck. Jeep previously announced plans to develop the 4xe using tech related to the Wrangler 4xe. However, the company canceled those plans before the truck reached production.
What Driver-Assistance Features Can You Get?
The entry-level Sport has basic cruise control, but it doesn't offer the more advanced driver-assistance features available on higher trims.
Moving up to the Sport S gives you access to front automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. It also adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high beams as you move up the model lineup.
How Much Can You Fit in the Gladiator's Bed?
Every Gladiator has a four-door crew cab and a pickup bed measuring approximately 5 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 1.5 feet deep. That works out to 35.5 cubic feet of cargo space, giving you room for camping equipment, tools, or other gear you'd rather not put inside the cabin.
It's also one of the Gladiator's biggest advantages over the Wrangler. You still get Jeep's open-air driving experience, but with a separate space for hauling your stuff.
Can the 2027 Gladiator Handle Heavy Loads?
You bet! The Gladiator can tow up to 7,700 pounds and carry a max payload of 1,725 pounds when properly equipped.
What Tech Does the Gladiator Offer?
Every Gladiator comes standard with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, built-in navigation, and two USB ports. Higher trims add a 7-inch configurable instrument display, and additional USB connections and prewired auxiliary switches are available.
An eight-speaker audio system is standard, but music lovers can upgrade to a nine-speaker Alpine system. It even includes a removable portable Bluetooth speaker.
