By Luke Ramseth, MediaNews GroupJeep has canceled plans to build a plug-in hybrid version of its Gladiator midsize truck, a move that comes shortly after parent Stellantis NV also halted plans for an all-electric Ram pickup.
Jeep, which recently notified suppliers of the cancellation, said it will continue investing in the Gladiator.
The Gladiator 4xe was initially expected to come out this year, joining the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee SUVs that have offered plug-in hybrid models for the last few years.
Both the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee will continue to offer the 4xe plug-in models for 2026, a Jeep spokesperson said.
He wouldn’t say whether a Hemi would be coming for the Gladiator specifically, but said: “Wrangler and Gladiator fans, and Hemi fans in general, don’t worry, we got you.”lramseth@detroitnews.com
