Record summary
What to know first
Every Gladiator shares the 285-horsepower 3.6L V6; towing tops out at 7,700 lb on Sport but drops to 7,000 lb on Rubicon due to its off-road gearing and hardware. MY2027 is a mechanical carryover (a full redesign is expected for MY2028) with one new military-heritage special edition added.
Model-year note
Mojave trades Rubicon's locking front differential and disconnecting stabilizer bar for desert-tuned Fox shocks: the two off-road trims are not equipment supersets of each other. MY2027 adds the Sarge special edition (available on Willys or Rubicon), a tribute to the original 1941 Willys MB military Jeep with '41 Green paint, a white grille surround, white military-star door graphics and a matching white Freedom Top.
