2026 Gladiator JT is getting a 35's option and other stuff

Hootbro · Nov 10, 2025

Dirt Road Cred just dropped a video on the new changes for the Wrangler but they have a brief blurb slide showing some interesting changes coming for the JT. Looks like they are making LED's standard on the Sport S and up with no extra charge. Shows also a Sahara model coming in and something showing a 35's option labeled as "Bailment Option" in addition to a factory installed winch option . They mentioned they are going to be dropping a dedicated Gladiator video in the next day or so.

Video is below and shows the slide at the 2:36 minute mark.

Man if they still offered a manual transmission it would be really hard for me not to to trade my '24 in for a Reign gladiator. But I refuse to make the switch to an automatic so it looks like my '24 is sticking with me to the grave.

Slowly but surely they are abandoning those ridiculous upcharges that pushed the msrps into the stratosphere.

Have to laugh - they dropped the Overland and are bringing it back in a way with the Sahara name. 18" wheels, body color top and fender flares - yeah, it's an Overland with a new name.

I thought it was stupid to even have the Overland name at launch instead of Sahara when everybody understood it was basically the same as the Wrangler Sahara in trim. This looks like they are correcting for that.

I wonder if they'd actually be higher rate.............. the factory winch is really light and small.
It's still a 10,000 pound winch, but a narrow spool with less line, and a more narrow body.

Not watching the video but guessing there’s no mention of a V8 …. :brokenhearted:

They really have the Wrangler sides F'd up, looks like you can't get a Rubicon X without 35s and can't get the full time transfer case without the X package, and man, don't even THINK about using their build site on the consumer side! Choose an automatic and it strips out about 6 other things, including headliner!

What gear ratio comes in the Rubicon X with 35s?

For the record, I did not put this in my original post. Some admin must have done it without giving me a heads up.

The Jeep web builder has always been a bit ‘off’.

Yeah, it is almost never real time up to date.

I have to laugh, because if you build a Rubicon X and choose anything other than their default color of red, it strips the V6 and 6 other options out. It's sooo bad, you can't build much of anything on it. And the worst of it is, they actually fixed a couple of things from a couple of days ago but made others worse.

Heck, dealer has a reign Rubicon loaded up with V6 and automatic - but their build site says it's not even possible. What a joke

ISO: 2026 Rubicon X with turbocharged inline 4 cylinder with 300+ horsepower and 300+ ft lbs of torque yielding over 20mpgs, with 35 inch tires. I'm there if they do it.
