Full Specifications
The hard numbers on the 2026 Gladiator: a 285-hp V6, 218 inches of length on a 137.3-inch wheelbase, up to 11.6 inches of ground clearance, up to 7,700 pounds of towing, and EPA 19 mpg combined. This is the reference sheet, dimension by dimension.
This page covers the complete technical specifications for the 2026 Jeep Gladiator. For a plain-language overview of the truck, see the Gladiator overview. For a trim-by-trim breakdown and price comparisons, see all trims compared. Figures below reflect the standard Sport configuration unless a trim or configuration is named; off-road geometry improves on the Rubicon and Mojave.
Engine
There is one powertrain across the whole lineup. No diesel, no V8. Trims differ in gearing, axles, and suspension, not in the engine itself.
Outside
| Measurement | Spec |
|---|---|
| Length | 218.0 in |
| Width (without mirrors) | 73.8 in |
| Height | 75.0 in |
| Wheelbase | 137.3 in |
| Turning circle | 44.5 ft |
| Ground clearance | 10.0 in (Sport and Rubicon); up to 11.6 in Mojave |
| Approach angle | 40.8 degrees (Sport); up to 44.7 on Rubicon |
| Departure angle | 25.0 degrees (Sport); up to 26 on Rubicon |
| Breakover angle | up to 20.9 degrees (Rubicon) |
| Water fording | up to 31.5 in |
Off-road geometry (approach, departure, breakover, ground clearance) improves on the Rubicon and Mojave trims; the Mojave carries the most ground clearance in the lineup.
Inside
The Gladiator seats five in a crew-cab layout with a 60/40 split-folding rear bench. Rear legroom of 38.3 inches is among the best in the midsize truck class.
| Measurement | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| Head room | 42.8 in | 42.8 in |
| Leg room | 41.2 in | 38.3 in |

Efficiency
These are honest numbers for a body-on-frame off-roader on solid axles. On the highway to Bastrop or up the grades along TX-71, the V6 works but returns predictable economy; big off-road tires on upper trims trim those figures slightly.
Safety
Standard across the lineup: a pre- and post-collision safety system, emergency braking assist, adaptive cruise control, a rear-view camera, electronic stability and traction control, tire-pressure monitoring, and dusk-sensing headlamps with front fog lights. Airbags include dual front, front side-mounted, and front and rear head curtains. Braking is 4-wheel ABS with ventilated discs front and rear. The Sport S adds forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking that the base Sport does not include, and higher trims and the Safety Group bundle further driver aids like blind-spot monitoring.
Technology
For a Cedar Park or Pflugerville commuter, the standard wireless phone integration means the tech feels current even on the base Sport, which is not always true of an off-road-first truck.
In Practice
The spec sheet turns into a few real-world questions buyers actually ask. Here is how the key measurements translate to daily life around Austin, from a Leander driveway to a jobsite in Bastrop.
| Measurement | Gladiator | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 218.0 in (18.2 ft) | Fits a standard 20-foot garage bay, but leaves little clearance at the door |
| Width (no mirrors) | 73.8 in | Clears a standard 8-foot garage door; fold the mirrors in tight spots |
| Height | 75.0 in | Clears most home garages and parking structures (usually 7 ft) |
| Turning circle | 44.5 ft | Wider than a sedan; give yourself room for a U-turn on RM 620 |
| Ground clearance | 10.0–11.6 in | Clears curbs, ruts, and Hill Country low-water crossings |
| Rear legroom | 38.3 in | Enough for adults in back, unusual for a midsize truck |
Questions
The 2026 Gladiator is 218.0 inches long on a 137.3-inch wheelbase, 73.8 inches wide without mirrors, and 75.0 inches tall. That puts it in the midsize truck class, longer than a Wrangler but easier to place than a full-size pickup.
Every 2026 Gladiator makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque from its 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, paired with an 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. There is no other engine option.
Ground clearance is 10.0 inches on the Sport and Rubicon, and up to 11.6 inches on the Mojave, the most in the lineup. Approach, departure, and breakover angles improve on those off-road trims too.
The Gladiator has a 5-foot steel bed measuring 60.3 inches long and 56.8 inches wide, with roughly 35.5 cubic feet of volume, integrated tie-downs, and an easy-lift tailgate.
The EPA rates the 2026 Gladiator at 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined, on regular unleaded, with a 22.0-gallon tank for roughly 374 city and 484 highway miles of range.
