Jeep continues to push the limits of off-road capability and style with the debut of the Jeep Gladiator Shadow Ops, a special edition that makes history as the first midsize truck to offer a factory-installed winch. The limited-run package combines Jeep performance with a bold, stealth-inspired design while serving as the spearhead of the brand’s “Convoy” campaign.
The initiative kicks off a new chapter for the brand, introducing mission-ready special editions that embody strength, unity and purpose, according to officials. Leading the charge is Jeep Gladiator Shadow Ops, arriving not by air, but through a ground-led military convoy, delivering toughness and authenticity in unexpected ways.
“The Jeep Gladiator has always stood for freedom and capability. Shadow Ops elevates that legacy to a whole new level,” said Bob Broderdorf, CEO of the Jeep brand. “This package is built for our most passionate off-road enthusiasts, combining rugged functionality with a bold, covert look. Shadow Ops gives adventurers not just the tools but the confidence and attitude to dominate any trail.”

Built on the proven capability of the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon platform, Shadow Ops delivers a distinctive blackout aesthetic and premium gear for serious trail conquerors. Key features include:
- Factory-installed winch for unmatched recovery capability
- Heavy-duty steel front and rear bumpers for extreme durability
- Satin Black grille for an aggressive, tactical edge
- Exclusive Shadow Ops hood and fender decals for a signature look
- Tailgate decal and theme package for authentic Jeep brand styling
- Body-color Freedom Top three-piece hardtop for open-air freedom
