Performance
The breathtaking capabilities of the Gladiator begin with its 7,700-lb. maximum towing capacity1 and 1,720-lb. maximum payload limit2, which ensure that your heavy gear won’t have to be left behind. This strength can be credited to a standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that will launch you down Route 59 with 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. When your journeys take you off the beaten path, the standard Command-Trac® part-time 4WD system will intuitively redirect power between the wheels to compensate for any loss of traction. Employ the available sway bar disconnect function to adjust this model’s handling in response to different driving conditions. If you encounter any streams along the way, you’ll be glad that the Gladiator is rated for water fording across depths of up to 31.5 inches3.
Exterior
With its 11.6-inch maximum ground clearance and optional 17-inch machine-finished wheels, the 2026 Jeep Gladiator offers an eye-catching stance that will make you feel like the star of the show. Take advantage of the standard quick-release removable doors and Sunrider® soft top roof to feel the wind in your hair on the way to Waubonsie Lake Park. If your friend gets stuck in a tight spot, use the standard trio of heavy-duty tow hooks to help them get back on the road. Protect the vehicle from sharp obstacles with the available steel bumpers and steel rock rails. When you cross rough terrain in the Gladiator, the optional Corning® Gorilla® Glass windshield will prevent flying debris from causing damage.
Safety
Challenging adventures will become effortless when you add the Gladiator’s advanced security measures to your toolbox. The available Blind Spot Monitoring4 will keep you aware of nearby cars before you merge, while the optional ParkSense® Rear Park-Assist System5 can alert you to the presence of hazards behind the bumper. As you reverse out of a crowded area, the standard ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera4 will display your projected path with dynamic gridlines. When you encounter congested highways around Aurora, the available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go6 will help you maintain a consistent following distance.

Testimonials
I can’t say enough good about the service.
We just purchased our 7th vehicle from them.
“ I’ve been buying vehicles from River Front Chrysler, Jeep & Dodge since 2017, and over the holiday weekend we just purchased our 7th vehicle from them. That alone says a lot about the trust and confidence we have in this dealership. Since day one, John Provenzano has taken care of my family’s vehicle needs and has always gone above and beyond. He is personable, accountable, and truly listens to what we need rather than trying to push us into something that doesn’t fit. He takes the time to make the process easy, stress-free, and personal. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about finding the right vehicle for you and your family, I highly recommend asking for John. We’ll definitely continue coming back! ”
They made the whole experience smooth and simple.
“ We recently got our ProMaster from River Front Ram Truck Center, and I have to say Miles was the best to work with. He was very transparent, straightforward, and made the whole process feel easy. It wasn’t just Miles either — everyone at the dealership was honest, helpful, and really cared about making sure we got what we wanted. Buying a van can usually feel stressful, but they made the whole ProMaster buying experience smooth and simple. This is honestly the best van we’ve ever had, and I really appreciate Miles for helping us through everything and making sure we were taken care of. Thank you, Miles! ”
They have always been the dealer of choice.
“ I went to dealership for service recall not expecting to buy a new car. I found a new car while browsing the inventory which matched my desires and needs unexpectedly. They were gracious enough to allow me to take the car home and show it to my wife. Then they made the purchase of same easier than one might expect. They have always been the dealer of choice in my three previous purchases for care and service. I would (and have) recommend this dealership to anyone seeking a new vehicle. ”

They made it hassle-free.
“ Recently purchased a used Ram at this dealership. Miles and Trish went above and beyond in terms of communication, ensuring the vehicle was checked out and prepped properly, and even followed up continuously after the sale on a few paint touch-ups. First time I actually enjoyed purchasing a vehicle. They made it hassle-free. Would definitely consider coming back in the future. ”
Highly recommend!
“ Purchased a new 2025 Jeep Wrangler today. I found River Front online and I worked primarily with Jim S who was great to work with. Communication was great and the buying process was efficient. There was ZERO pressure to buy all those "extras" most dealers push. I felt like the pricing was fair, I was treated respectfully and I would definately go back for my next Jeep! Overall a great buying experience - highly recommend! ”
