- Jeep introduced the 2026 Gladiator, which offers a new Willys ’41 Edition.
- Military-themed truck features Olive Drab accents and a two-tone interior.
- Updated color palette and easier-to-remove doors round out the upgrades.
Jeep introduced the 2026 Wrangler earlier this month, and now they’ve taken the wraps off the Gladiator. It features a new special edition as well as a handful of minor updates.
Τhe Gladiator Willys ’41 draws inspiration from the Kaiser Jeep M715 introduced in 1967. It’s a military-themed “buzz model,” featuring steel bumpers and unique 17-inch wheels in Olive Drab.

Buyers will also find a Mojave-sourced hood and special graphics. They’re joined by black accents, a grille guard, and mud-terrain tires. Inside, there are tan seats with Mantis Green bolsters.
Pricing starts at $47,840 before a $1,995 destination fee. The company is currently accepting orders, and CEO Bob Broderdorf described it as “timeless and trail-ready.”
Additional changes are limited, but the 2026 Gladiator benefits from new door hinges that recently appeared on the Wrangler. They make removing the doors far easier than before, although the company hasn’t delved into specifics.
Buyers will also find two paint colors. Besides the previously announced Reign, Goldilocks will be a new option. Customers can also get newly available all-terrain tires on the Gladiator Sport S.
It’s also worth noting the Dark Sky Appearance Package returns for 2026 on the Sport S. It features body-color fender flares, a performance hood, and gloss black accents.
While the changes aren’t revolutionary, drivers will find a familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 developing 285 hp (213 kW / 289 PS) and 260 lb-ft (352 Nm) of torque. It’s connected exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard four-wheel drive system. This setup enables the truck to tow up to 7,700 lbs (3,493 kg) and return 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.
