New Jeep Gladiator for Sale in Yucca Valley, CA
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator is the only open-air midsize pickup on the market — Wrangler-style removable doors and roof panels paired with a real 5-foot truck bed. Every Gladiator on our Yucca Valley lot runs the same proven powertrain and genuine 4x4 hardware, so the trim you choose is about how you use the truck, not whether it can handle the job. Browse the lineup below, then come see it in person at Joshua Tree CDJR.
Engine & Performance: One Powertrain, Zero Compromises
For 2026, Jeep keeps it simple — every Gladiator shares the same drivetrain, so capability doesn't change trim to trim.
| Spec | 2026 Gladiator |
|---|---|
| Engine | 3.6L Pentastar V6 |
| Horsepower | 285 hp |
| Torque | 260 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Drivetrain | 4x4 (Four-Wheel Drive) |
| Fuel Economy | EPA-Estimated 17 city / 22 highway / 19 combined MPG |
The naturally aspirated Pentastar delivers steady low-end pull for trail climbs and confident passing power on Highway 62. Every trim pairs it with a genuine two-speed transfer case for true off-road range.
Specifications per Jeep.com. EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
Towing, Payload & Bed: Truck Capability Where It Counts
The Gladiator backs its off-road reputation with genuine work-truck numbers.
- Maximum towing: up to 7,700 lbs when properly equipped
- Maximum payload: up to 1,725 lbs
- Bed: 5-foot steel bed, 60.3 in. box length, up to 35.5 cu ft of cargo volume
- Water fording: up to 31.5 inches
- Available bed features: 115-volt power outlet and the Trail Rail Cargo Management System (available via package)
Heavy-duty solid front and rear axles keep the chassis stable under load, and the available Max Trailer Tow package steps the Gladiator up to its full 7,700-lb rating.
Specifications per Jeep.com. Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner's manual and the vehicle's door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Rubicon vs. Mojave: Two Ways to Go Off-Road
The two purpose-built trims chase different terrain. Here's how they line up.
| Feature | Rubicon | Mojave |
|---|---|---|
| Mission | Slow-speed rock crawling | High-speed desert running |
| Transfer case | Rock-Trac, 4:1 low-gear ratio | Command-Trac, 2.72:1 low-gear ratio |
| Differentials | Front + rear electronic lockers | Rear electronic locker only |
| Sway bar | Electronic front disconnect | Fixed front sway bar |
| Suspension | Trail-tuned solid-axle setup | FOX internal-bypass shocks with external reservoirs |
If your weekends mean boulders and technical trails, the Rubicon's crawl gearing and lockers earn their keep. If they mean open desert and washboard at speed, the Mojave's FOX hardware is built for it.
