Jeep Gladiator Will Offer Lower Canadian Prices for 2026 Model Year

Equipped with four-wheel drive system incorporating a Rock-Trac part-time transfer case and 33-inch all-terrain tires, the Rubicon trim version of the Jeep Gladiator will be available to Canadian customers for a considerable lower price for the 2026 model year.

Roughly a decade ago, the Jeep brand had been promoted as the backbone to its parent auto group Stallantis (Known as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles prior to 2021). Featuring a rich history that has made their vehicles attracting a broad base from serious off-roaders to luxury-minded city drivers, Jeep was also advantaged with a growing consumer trend favouring crossover utility vehicles. An expanded range of products in recent years included the flagship Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer as well as a pickup truck version of the company’s famous Wrangler called the Gladiator. While Jeep has been recognized as a steady profit centre for Stallantis in North America, the brand has also underwent growing criticism from loyal customers as the prices for Jeep vehicles have climbed considerably. As a result, sales were beginning to decline with popularity the more expensive Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer sharply down both in Canada as well as south of the border stateside. In preparation for the 2026 model year, Jeep is making a massive course correction with for, at least, their mid-sized pickup truck.

The 2026 Jeep Gladiator will be easier on the wallets of Canadian automotive buyers with sizable cuts made to the retail prices for this lineup. For the 2025 model year, the Canadian MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) for the base Gladiator Sport S trim was $60,895. The 2026 Jeep Gladiator Sport S will arrive in Canadian showrooms for a substantially reduced $49,995. Achieving an under $50,000 MSRP price, the 2026 Gladiator price after destination charges and other fees will tick up to $52,290. This cost after fees for the base model is still less than the price for the 2025 counterpart at this time on August 21st with discounts applied.

Price reductions are being made across the entire 2026 Jeep Gladiator lineup. The greatest decrease will appear on the Willys trim level that is $11,400 less than last year’s model at MSRP is $54,995. Gladiator Mojave and Rubicon models return for 2026 costing $64,995 while the Mojave X and Rubicon X boasting premium equipment including heated 12- way power front seats as well as body-colour matching fender flares, will be priced at $76,290. The MSRP for the Rubicon and Mojave represent a $8,100 drop compared to the 2025 vehicle cost.

Available to order now at Jeep dealers in Canada with arrival schedule near the end of the year, the reduced price for the 2026 Jeep Gladiator lineup serves as an even more tempting choice for buyers seeking this unique pickup truck design offering off-road capacity, spacious cargo and passenger room as well as flexibility of open-air driving options. A strong, reliable 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine generating 285 horsepower is equipped on all 2026 Gladiators driving a variety of capable four-wheel drive systems.

A Canadian Star Car: Red Green's Possum Van

Clip of Possum Van during a Red Green Show season 1 scene transition. It could be argued that the car someone regularly drives can be reflective of their personality. The level of character traits found in our automobiles can range from subtle to flamboyant as practicality, style, power, brand loyalty and other details are factors influencing our vehicle affection. On the big screen and silver screen, an automobile (frequently popularized as a Star Car) can be used to affirmatively to expand on a human character. Batman’s Batmobile, the Dodge Charger called the ‘General Lee’ in Dukes of Hazzard, the Volvo P1800 featured in the 1960s television version of The Saint, the Aston Martin DB5 driven by James Bond in some of the most famous spy movies are some popular examples where vehicles play a major role in reinforcing the appearance of fictional individuals.

Honda’s Secret 30th Anniversary In Indy Car Racing

Photo Credit: Engine Developments Ltd. Too many times, forgetting an anniversary would end with someone spending time in the proverbial doghouse. This has apparently happened this year as the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series season concluded with no major celebrations or recognition for what is 30 years since a major current partner of American open wheel racing began participation in the sport. The following article is a collection of the details I’ve learned as well as some insight from engine builder John Judd on what was a quiet 30th anniversary in the Verizon IndyCar Series. During the week where the 30th running of the Canadian street race now known as the Honda Indy Toronto, I was compelled to capture the flavour of the inaugural event.
