2026 Jeep Gladiator Whitecap is a tribute to the 1940s
What's the story
Jeep has unveiled the Gladiator Whitecap, a new design package for its Sahara, Rubicon, Rubicon X, Mojave, as well as Mojave X trims. The package features white accents on the roof, grille, and hood as well as a side stripe. It will be available this spring at an additional cost of just $495. The design is similar to that of the Wrangler Whitecap and pays homage to Jeep's first production vehicles from 1941.

The Gladiator Whitecap features a Bright White roof and side stripe decal that reads "1941," the year the original Willys MB was first produced. The outer edge of the seven-slot grille is also painted in Bright White, while the Rubicon, Rubicon X, Mojave, and Mojave X trims get a white decal on their hoods with their respective trim names.
