Jeep Adds Factory 35-Inch Tire Package to 2027 Gladiator

Jeep is adding a factory-installed 35-inch tire package to selected 2027 Gladiator pickup trims, pairing the larger tires with suspension and drivetrain changes designed for off-road use. The 35-Inch Tire Launch Edition will be offered on the Willys, Rubicon and Rubicon X, Jeep said. The package includes a one-inch suspension lift, 4.56 final-drive ratio, Dana axles and upgraded brakes. Jeep says the truck will have 12.9 inches of ground clearance, with approach, breakover and departure angles of 46.7, 23.3 and 26.7 degrees, respectively. The setup brings the tires and related hardware together from the factory rather than requiring owners to assemble an aftermarket modification. The edition also features 17-inch bronze-accented wheels, widened fender flares, bronze badges and tow hooks, along with graphics that distinguish it from other Gladiator models. Rubicon and Rubicon X versions receive additional decorative details; the Rubicon X has distinctive door graphics. The package’s technical specifications and styling were described by Jeep as tailored to accommodate the larger tires. Jeep has not announced the package’s price or how many it will build.
