How Much Can the 2027 Gladiator Tow and Haul?

A properly equipped 2027 Gladiator tows up to 7,700 lbs and carries up to 1,725 lbs of payload, enough for a utility trailer, a pair of side-by-sides or a bed full of feed. The exact rating on a given truck depends on trim, axle ratio and towing package, so ask our team for the figure on the Gladiator you’re looking at.

Every trim is a five-seat crew cab with a short bed, a 22-gallon tank, front tow hooks and trailer-tow prep. Here is how the nine trims differ off-road:

Command-Trac or Rock-Trac: The Off-Road Difference

All nine trims use the Pentastar 3.6L V6 (285 hp, 260 lb-ft) with an 8-speed automatic and part-time 4x4, on solid axles front and rear. The split is the transfer case:

  • Command-Trac (Sport S, Texas Trail, Willys, Sahara, Rewind, Mojave, Mojave X): part-time 4WD for snow, mud, farm lanes and most trails.
  • Rock-Trac (Rubicon, Rubicon X): lower gearing plus front and rear locking differentials and a disconnecting front sway bar, built for rocks and technical terrain.

The Mojave trims trade the lockers for the most ground clearance in the lineup, 11.6 inches, plus underbody engine protection. Every Gladiator is rated at 17 city / 22 highway / 19 combined mpg on regular fuel, about 418 miles per tank.

Cabin, Seating, and Technology

The crew cab seats five, with 41.2 inches of front legroom and 38.3 inches in back. The Sport S starts in cloth; Texas Trail, Sahara and Rewind add leather-trimmed seats, and the Mojave X and Rubicon X come standard in leather. Sahara, Mojave, Rubicon and the X trims get power front seats.

Every trim has a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and remote services for 120 months. The Mojave X and Rubicon X add a 9-speaker Alpine system with subwoofer. Adaptive cruise control with stop is standard on Sahara, Mojave, Rubicon and both X trims.

Safety Equipment and Crash Ratings

Six airbags and Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with automatic emergency braking are standard on every 2027 Gladiator. The available Safety Group adds rear park assist, blind-spot and rear cross-path detection, and auto high beams; the Mojave X and Rubicon X include blind-spot detection as standard.

IIHS rates the Gladiator Good in moderate overlap front, side and driver-side small overlap tests. NHTSA gives it a 4-star frontal crash rating.
