Recently, Jeep officially released official images of the Jeep Gladiator Shadow Ops special edition. The new vehicle will become the brand's first special edition model for 2026 and will be launched first in the North American market. Jeep officially stated that it will launch more special edition models next year (2026).
In terms of appearance, the new vehicle is upgraded based on the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, and the overall exterior continues the design of the prototype vehicle. The difference is the addition of blacked-out trim on the grille, hood, tailgate, and other areas, along with a black steel bumper, and it offers a factory winch with a towing capacity of 3,629 kg.
In terms of power, the new vehicle continues to be equipped with a 3.6L V6 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 284 hp, and the transmission system continues to be matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Dada commentary: The Jeep Gladiator is a mid-size pickup built on the basis of the Wrangler, adopting a body-on-frame structure and solid front and rear axles, with strong off-road performance. In China, the Jeep Gladiator must comply with the 15-year mandatory scrapping regulation and cannot enter some cities and areas. There are many special edition models of the Jeep Gladiator. The 2025 Jurassic World Explorer Edition on sale in China adds a rainforest exploration upgrade package, with a guide price of 479,900 yuan. The Shadow Ops special edition released this time will go on sale in 2026, and the added exterior package is priced at $4,995 (about 36,000 yuan).
