Is it true, a V8 Gladiator is coming in 2026?

[tOSU]

Are we to believe that Jeep is really going to put a V8 in a Gladiator and for 2026? What do y'all think the price point will be? Than my next question is will it be able to tow a good load? Notice I didn't say haul because there's not much room to haul stuff in that bed. I just hope it's true and I hope it's affordable.

What's your thoughts?

I think it will tick all the boxes that people have said they want, but fall short of doing anything great.

We will be promised a nice juicy ribeye and will likely receive overpriced well- done rump roast.

Probably about as true as it was when the other three people posted about it.

That’s what I’m afraid of.

I just wanted to make it 4 people, can’t have to many of the same post.

What I can say with absolute authority is IF it happens and it is a BIG IF, you will not see it in 2026 or even any time soon.

What do y'all think the price point will be?

You know what the 392 Wrangler costs. You can be sure it'll be more than that, guaranteed.

Than my next question is will it be able to tow a good load?

There's more to towing than just HP and torque.
