With much of the country currently slathered in white, sometimes fluffy snow, or expecting to see more of it tumble from the sky in the coming days, Jeep on Thursday announced the release of its second Convoy campaign vehicle package offering even more white stuff to its customers.
This setup, dubbed Whitecap, is a special edition option for the 2026 Gladiator that pairs a bright white painted top, white grille and white body graphics, along with the truck’s modern silhouette.
“As the second mission in our Convoy campaign, the Jeep Gladiator Whitecap acknowledges where we’ve been," said Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf. "It offers a clear nod to Jeep heritage, rooted in 1941, and built for today’s adventurers who value authenticity, individuality and real capability. We continue to listen to our customers, and their feedback is guiding us toward offering more colors, more customization and more flexibility across the lineup.”
Jeep announced its first Convoy Gladiator trim back in December, which was titled Shadow Ops and featured more of a stealth look, with blackout features alongside a steel bumper and factory-installed winch.
Whitecap, on the other hand, screams for attention and tries to attain a balance between classic style and trail-ready attitude. According to Jeep, it chose bright white for the Gladiator’s roof as a throwback to vintage hardtop styling, as well as a white front grille to keep classic Jeep cues with modern execution.
Then, Jeep said, Whitecap features ‘1941’ side-stripe graphics as a call out to the year its first Willys MB rolled off the line, while white hood decals add extra heritage flair.
Even though the brand is known for its numerous concept vehicles, Whitecap is an attainable option, and the Gladiator underneath remains fundamentally a Jeep Gladiator. That means all the off-road chops and everyday utility that make it stand out in the midsize truck world are still there—unchanged by this special edition package.
Highlights include a 7,700-pound maximum towing capacity, up to 1,720-pound payload, a five-foot steel bed with tie-downs and an easy-lift tailgate, as well as removable roof panels and doors for open-air freedom.
And, like all Gladiators, the Whitecap edition models will be powered by a 285-hp 3.6-liter V-6 mated to an eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.
Additionally, Jeep isn’t limiting Whitecap to just one model. Instead, this package is offered on a wide range of trims, from Sahara to Rubicon, Rubicon X, Mojave, and Mojave X, so you can pair retro styling with your preferred level of performance and personality.
The Whitecap package is priced at $495 and will arrive at dealerships nationwide this spring.
