We cross-shopped three others and this won on towing stability. the fuel bill when towing is the trade-off.

2026 Jeep Gladiator review
Jeep Gladiator: capability first, comfort close behind. Illustrative review
8.3/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Jeep Gladiator is a strong contender in its class. Bed and tailgate features are useful every day; comfortable ride when unloaded. Some cabin plastics feel basic on base trims and fuel economy drops sharply when towing, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $40,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.3 of 5 from 3 owners
Replaced an older Jeep with this one. Big step up in towing stability; I'd like a little more rear-seat room.
Bought it for the weekend hauling and a daily commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
