Open-air pickup
Remove the doors, top and fold the windshield—no other pickup offers this.
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator is the only open-air pickup on the market, combining Wrangler capability with a 5-foot steel bed. It starts at $39,820 MSRP and offers up to 7,700 pounds of towing, up to 1,720 pounds of 4x4 payload and removable doors and top.
Oxmoor CDJR had 6 new Gladiators in the Oct 31 crawl. Find your Sport, Willys, Mojave or Rubicon at 4520 Shelbyville Rd, convenient to Louisville, St. Matthews, Middletown, Lyndon, Jeffersontown and Shelbyville.
The Gladiator Sport spec sheet lists a 3.6L Pentastar V6 with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft, an eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, with EPA ratings of 17 city / 22 highway / 19 combined MPG. The configuration shown tows 4,500 pounds; properly equipped, Jeep rates maximum towing at 7,700 pounds, and says no other vehicle in its class has more gas towing.
Rubicon and Mojave models come standard with 33-inch all-terrain tires, and the Mojave is the only Jeep Brand vehicle to earn the Desert Rated badge. Inside, 12.3 inches of screen space handles navigation and entertainment, and the available TrailCam off-road camera helps you place the tires on the trail.
A new quick-release door hinge system makes open-air driving easier. If you don't need a bed, compare the Wrangler; for more towing, see the Ram 1500.

The Sport and Sport S are the value picks for weekend projects and light towing. The Sahara adds the comfort features many daily drivers want.
For off-roading, choose the Rubicon for rock crawling or the Desert Rated Mojave for high-speed trails. Both come with 33-inch tires, and the X versions add luxury features.
Special editions like the Willys, Willys 41, Rewind and Shadow Ops offer distinctive looks. Ask us about the Trailer Tow Package if you plan to pull a camper or boat.
Gladiator shoppers often cross-shop the Wrangler. Choose Gladiator if you need a bed for bikes, camping gear or work tools; choose Wrangler if a shorter wheelbase and tighter turning matter more for your trails. We can arrange back-to-back test drives of both.
