The cheapest new Jeep Gladiator now costs $45,890 with destination. That’s because the 2027 Jeep Gladiator price ladder starts at the Sport S: Jeep has quietly dropped the bare Sport trim, and that matters more to your budget than the headline news of factory 35-inch tires. The Sport S is a better-equipped truck than the Sport it replaces, but the move hands the low end of the midsize pickup market to Chevrolet.
Quick answer: The 2027 Jeep Gladiator starts at $43,895 MSRP for the Sport S, or $45,890 once the $1,995 destination charge is added. The old Sport trim is gone. The Rubicon X tops the range at $64,995 before destination, and a limited-production 35-inch Tire Launch Edition is available on Willys, Rubicon and Rubicon X.
What does the 2027 Jeep Gladiator price look like by trim?
We checked these starting MSRPs on Jeep’s own 2027 Gladiator page on Oct. 28, 2026. None include destination.
- Sport S: $43,895
- Sahara: $48,400
- Rubicon: $55,700
- Mojave: $56,200
- Mojave X: $63,295
- Rubicon X: $64,995
Car and Driver’s Oct. 27 report put the Sport S at $45,890 with destination, which matches Jeep’s figure plus $1,995. It listed the Rubicon X at $66,175, though, and Jeep’s site plus destination works out to $66,990. We’ve used Jeep’s number. Jeep’s page also shows $47,445 and $51,540 models we couldn’t tie to a trim name, so we’ve left the Willys and Altitude out.
Is the Sport S worth more than the old Sport?
For most buyers, yes. Stellantis says in its Oct. 26 what’s-new release that the Sport S now comes with a 7-inch color instrument cluster, passive entry, all-terrain tires and 17-inch machined aluminum wheels. If you were going to option your way up from a Sport anyway, the real increase is smaller than the $4,075 jump Car and Driver calculated.
The hardware underneath doesn’t change. Every 2027 Gladiator uses the 3.6-liter V-6 with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft, paired only with an eight-speed automatic. The V-6 is the only engine Jeep lists.
Watch the towing claim. Jeep quotes up to 7,700 pounds of towing and up to 1,720 pounds of payload, but those are maximums for one configuration. Before you hitch up a camper, check the towing chart and the door-jamb sticker on the exact truck you’re buying, because every option that adds weight comes straight out of payload.
What does the 35-inch Tire Launch Edition actually change?
Jeep’s Launch Edition announcement says this is the first time it has offered 35s on a Gladiator straight from the factory. Jeep CEO Branden Coté said 35-inch tires “have consistently been one of the most popular modifications.” The package is limited-production and offered on Willys, Rubicon and Rubicon X.
Car and Driver reports the tires are BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2s in 315/70R-17. Jeep pairs them with a 1-inch lift, a 4.56 final-drive ratio, heavy-duty Dana axles, performance brakes and bronze 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels. Jeep quotes 12.9 inches of ground clearance with approach, breakover and departure angles of 46.7, 23.3 and 26.7 degrees.
The 4.56 gearing is the part to care about. A taller tire turns fewer times per mile, which effectively makes the gearing taller and the V-6 feel slower off the line. Owners who add 35s on their own often pay a shop to regear the axles and recalibrate. Here, Jeep has done that engineering for you.
How does the Gladiator compare with the Colorado and Tacoma?
GM Authority’s Oct. 24 price breakdown, which includes the $2,095 destination charge, lists the 4WD Colorado Work Truck at $38,795, the Trail Boss at $43,695 and the ZR2 at $52,895. That puts a 4WD Trail Boss $2,195 under a Gladiator Sport S.
A Gladiator Rubicon runs $57,695 with destination, or $4,800 more than a Colorado ZR2. Toyota’s Tacoma sits closer to the Jeep: Edmunds lists the 2026 TRD Off-Road from $44,560 and the TRD Pro from $66,495.
So what does the Jeep premium buy? Mostly the roof and doors. Jeep calls the Gladiator America’s only open-air pickup, and nothing from Chevy or Toyota lets you drop the top. If you’ll never take it off, the Colorado gives you more truck per dollar.
If you’re cross-shopping Jeep’s other 2027 models, our look at the 2027 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk’s $7,500 premium covers the same question of what the off-road trims cost. Ford has taken a similar route with factory 35-inch tires on the 2027 Super Duty, and we’ve also covered Toyota’s plan for a smaller pickup to rival the Ford Maverick.
The 2027 Jeep Gladiator price now opens $2,195 above a 4WD Colorado Trail Boss, and Jeep still hasn’t published what the 35-inch Launch Edition adds to the sticker. If 35s are the reason you’re shopping, get that number in writing first. A factory truck with matched 4.56 gearing is only the smart buy if it lands below a Rubicon plus a quality aftermarket regear.
