For the 2027 model year, Jeep is adding a limited-production 35-inch Tire Launch Edition to the Gladiator lineup.
Buyers can now order Willys, Rubicon, or Rubicon X models with factory-installed 35-inch all-terrain tires, a popular aftermarket upgrade that Jeep is offering directly from the factory for the first time.
Jeep says 35-inch tires have been one of the most requested Gladiator upgrades among owners. This new package will give owners the bigger-tire look and added off-road capability without requiring modifications.
More Than Just Bigger Tires
The 35-inch tires aren’t the only addition for this limited-edition model. The truck will come with a range of supporting hardware to enhance off-road performance. Some of the exclusive additions include:
- 35-inch all-terrain tires
- 1-inch suspension lift
- 4.56 final drive ratio
- Heavy-duty Dana axles
- Performance brakes
- 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels
Despite the model’s name, Jeep didn’t simply bolt on larger tires to this new release — it included several upgrades to enhance your time off the beaten path.
Improved Off-Road Capability
Jeep says the package increases ground clearance and improves the truck’s approach, breakover, and departure angles. Here’s a comparison of the updated numbers compared to the 2026 Gladiator Rubicon.
| Gladiator Rubicon | Gladiator 35-inch Tire Launch Edition | Change | |
| Ground Clearance | 11.1 inches | 12.9 inches | +1.8 inches |
| Approach Angle | 43.4 degrees | 46.7 degrees | +3.3 degrees |
| Departure Angle | 26.0 degrees | 26.7 degrees | +0.7 degrees |
Bronze Accents Distinguish the Launch Edition
Of course, there has to be a little bit of visual distinction for this 35-inch Tire Launch Edition. It will have bronze accents and other appearance upgrades throughout to help distinguish it from the rest of the lineup.
This includes bronze wheels, bronze badging, and bronze tow hooks, along with exclusive hood, side, and tailgate graphics and a performance hood (exclusive to specific models).
Availability
Jeep has not announced pricing for the 35-inch Tire Launch Edition. The model is available to order now in North America, though production will be limited.
