2026 Jeep Gladiator
One configuration per trim, named under each heading, with its numbers as Jeep prints them. “Up to” is a ceiling printed over several configurations (the notes say whose), “from” the lowest figure, and a range is printed across that configuration’s grades. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label.
Estimate ±A dashed underline marks our estimate where Jeep prints no figure: worked out from its other numbers, shown with its margin (±), and never used for a headline, comparison or ranking.

08 / Fitment
Tire fitment guides
Jeep · Gladiator
35-inch tires
35s are a straightforward target on many Gladiators, especially Rubicon and Mojave. Sport and Overland have less factory clearance and benefit more from added ride height and carefully selected backspacing.
Trim-dependent fit
Jeep · Gladiator
37-inch tires
37s are realistic on a Gladiator, but the answer changes by trim. Rubicon and Mojave provide the best starting geometry; non-Rubicon builds usually need more suspension, wheel and fender planning.
