No I’m not talking about him I had another source that released what’s coming out and nothing for gladiators for anything bigger than what’s out now

Two things:

1) They have to get rid of the MDS to make it reliable.

2) Less than 5K upgrade option from factory.

I'd consider upgrading from my 2020 which I love. OG buyer here. Have 85K on the 3.6 and it has been flawless so far.

#1 is pretty much a done deal. No manufacturer wants these garbage systems on their engines either.

#2 I am optimistic will happen with the relaxing of emissions and anticipated roll back of CAFE. Jeep has to want this I would think - it would cause a huge boost to Gladiator sales and may even save it from the chopping block. But must it an option and not another cash grab "special limited edition" - yuk...

Not if it costs $100K. It's still a $30K truck at best.
I have purchased 4 and have two of them left, MOST expensive MSRP 2024 Rubicon X Gladiator $70,xxx.xx, purchased for $60,000.00
#2 2024 Rubicon $68,xxx,xx, Purchased for $52,000.00
#3 2023 Rubicon $68,XXX.XX , purchased for $55,xxx.xx
2020 Rubicon $66,xxx.xx, purchased for $58,xxx.xx
Now I am waiting for the 5.7 HIMI if it is no over70K , not likely!

Latest TK’s Garage has him saying that the 5.7 Hemi will be offered in the Gladiator in 2026!
Go to about 1:20 if you just want the short version.

Bringing back an improved Hemi engine and adding it into Ram, Jeep and Dodge lineup might make it easier for Stellantiis to sell the company… if that’s what they decide to do.

The tech that has been working on my vehicles at the dealership keeps telling me ”I don’t think the new Hurricane 6 is the engine that they thought it would be… lots of problems“

If they do put a v8 in the Gladiator I would love to have it, but I really enjoy not making payments on vehicles 😁
