2026 Jeep Gladiator 85th Anniversary Edition: Heritage Meets Modern Utility

Imagine starting your Saturday morning in Norco, CA, loading up the bed of your truck for a day of community events or heading out to the local trails. The 2026 Jeep Gladiator 85th Anniversary Edition is built for exactly this lifestyle, blending the iconic open-air freedom of a Jeep with the hardworking utility of a crew cab pickup. Whether you are navigating the suburban streets of Ontario, CA or heading toward the foothills for a weekend escape, this vehicle provides a rugged yet approachable presence that fits right into your driveway and your daily routine.

Proven Pentastar Performance and Capability

At the heart of this Gladiator is the dependable Pentastar 3.6L V-6 DOHC engine, a powerplant respected across the Inland Empire for its reliability and smooth power delivery. Producing 285HP, this engine utilizes variable valve control and an aluminum engine block to balance strength with efficiency. Paired with the 8-Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission, the driving experience is seamless, whether you are maintaining pace on the 10 freeway or exploring the outskirts of Corona, CA.

The Four Wheel Drive system features the Command-Trac part-time 4WD transfer case, allowing you to engage extra traction exactly when the terrain demands it. To ensure longevity during those warm Southern California summers, the powertrain includes an engine oil cooler and a transmission fluid temperature gauge. The Normal Duty Plus Suspension and heavy-duty ride suspension are engineered with a rigid axle front and rear setup, providing the durability needed for varied surfaces while maintaining a composed ride for the daily commute. With auto stop-start engine technology, this truck is as practical for the school run as it is for the job site.

Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity

Modern life requires staying connected, and the 85th Anniversary Edition delivers with a sophisticated tech suite centered around a massive 12.3 inch primary display. This touchscreen serves as the hub for Handsfree Uconnect w/Bluetooth, allowing you to manage calls and media without taking your eyes off the road. With Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto wireless mirroring, your favorite navigation apps and playlists are always at your fingertips.

The interior experience is further elevated by the Alpine Premium Audio System, featuring 9 speakers and a 552W amplifier that provides crystal-clear sound, even when the top is off. The integrated navigation system with voice activation ensures youll find your way through West Covina, CA or any new destination with ease. For the driver, the Cluster 7.0 inch TFT Color Display provides essential vehicle data in a clear, customizable format. With 7 USB ports and a Media Hub with 2 Charge Only USBs, every passenger can keep their devices powered up for the journey ahead.

Refined Comfort and Interior Versatility

Inside the cabin, you are greeted by a Black w/Cloth Low-Back Bucket Seats interior featuring unique Mayan Gold Interior Accents and a Plaid Wrap Mid-Bolster. The premium cloth front seat upholstery is both durable and comfortable, designed to withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle. For those chilly mornings, the Heated Front Seats and Heated steering wheel provide immediate warmth, while the Dual-zone front climate control with voice-activated climate control ensures both the driver and passenger stay perfectly comfortable.

The Black 3-Piece Hard Top includes a Freedom Panel Storage Bag, allowing you to easily remove the front sections for an open-air experience. Practicality is baked into the design with 60-40 folding rear seats, a locking floor console storage, and a 115V Auxiliary Power Outlet to charge tools or camping gear. The Remote Start System and Keyless Entry add a layer of daily convenience, letting you cool down the cabin before you even step outside. Every detail, from the leatherette steering wheel to the auto-dimming rear view mirror, has been selected to enhance your time behind the wheel.

Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is a top priority for families and professionals alike, and this Gladiator comes equipped with the Safety Group and Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus. This system can alert you to potential hazards and even apply Advanced Brake Assist if necessary. When navigating busy parking lots in Claremont, CA, the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera and ParkSense rear parking sensors provide the visibility and confidence you need to maneuver a truck of this size safely.

The Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection systems act as an extra set of eyes, monitoring your surroundings during lane changes or when backing out of a driveway. The vehicle is protected by a comprehensive network of 6 airbags, including curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. With LED Taillamps, LED front fog lights, and Auto High Beam Headlamp Control, your visibility is optimized regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.

Iconic Exterior and 85th Anniversary Design

The Black Clearcoat exterior of this Gladiator is accented by exclusive anniversary details that set it apart from the crowd. The 85th Gladiator Hood Decal, 85th Fender Decal, and 85th Tailgate Decal celebrate the brand's long heritage, while the Gray/Bronze Trail Rated Badge and Bronze Tow Hooks hint at its underlying capability. It sits proudly on 17-inch gray aluminum wheels wrapped in 245/75R17 H/T tires, offering a perfect balance of style and road manners.

Functional exterior features include the MOPAR spray-in pickup bed liner, which protects the cargo area from scratches and corrosion. The LED Premium Reflector Headlamps and Daytime Running Lamps LED Accents provide a modern lighting signature while improving safety. With body-color fender flares and a body-color grille with colored accents, the 85th Anniversary Edition offers a cohesive, premium look that is as much at home at a nice dinner in Claremont, CA as it is at a trailhead.
