Maxximum Jeep Gladiator 6x6 Is Looking For A New HomeGuessing HeadlightsAndre NalinSun, September 27, 2026 at 9:00 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleImage Credit: Barrett-Jackson.Straight off the showroom floor, the Jeep Gladiator comes with enough off-road hardware to handle terrain that would make most pickups turn around. Apparently, that wasn't good enough for Maxximum Industries. Clearly living by a "more is always better" mantra, they laughed at the pitiful four driven wheels and added another pair of wheels.That's right, the company took a 2020 Gladiator and transformed it into the enormous six-wheeled creation you see here. An additional axle, custom suspension, and 42-inch tires make the finished truck difficult to mistake for anything Jeep actually sold.Despite appearances, Maxximum didn't stuff a fire-breathing V8 under the hood. The Gladiator still has its 3.6-liter V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission, making the running gear surprisingly ordinary compared with everything surrounding it.AdvertisementAdvertisementNow somebody else can put this six-wheeled monster in their driveway, as Barrett-Jackson has listed the custom Gladiator for sale with an asking price of $184,900 and 62,465 miles showing.Maxximum Didn't Just Add Two WheelsImage Credit: Barrett-Jackson.Converting the Gladiator into a 6x6 involved extensive work underneath. Barrett-Jackson says Maxximum installed a custom 9-inch center axle with an output shaft, while the axles are fully trussed and use 5.13 gearing.Up front is a long-travel four-link setup with 2.5-inch King coilovers, custom dual-rate springs, remote reservoirs, and King air bump stops. The rear axles receive their own four-link arrangements with 2.0-inch King coilovers and remote reservoirs.The truck rides on beadlock wheels wrapped in enormous 42-inch Maxxis tires. Solid 6061 one-ton steering links and TIG-welded suspension mounting points further illustrate how far removed this thing is from a standard Gladiator.Built For The ApocalypseImage Credit: Barrett-Jackson.The exterior is equally extreme. Custom chromoly bumpers, aluminum fenders, and rock sliders are joined by a full-size spare-tire carrier and a 12,000-pound Warn winch.AdvertisementAdvertisementUp top, there's a chromoly roof rack carrying a KC light bar, spotlights, and limb risers. Maxximum even integrated RotopaX water canisters into the custom hood, while a PA siren system adds another item to an already lengthy equipment list.Inside, one of the more noticeable changes is a carbon-fiber steering wheel, and a custom trailer-brake controller has also been fitted.Six Wheels, $184,900Image Credit: Barrett-Jackson.Interestingly, all of that hardware hasn't been accompanied by a huge horsepower upgrade. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 was factory-rated at 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft in the 2020 Gladiator, although Barrett-Jackson simply describes this truck as V6-powered.At $184,900, this isn't exactly a cheap route into Gladiator ownership. Then again, buyers shopping for a six-wheel-drive Jeep on 42-inch tires probably aren't cross-shopping base-model pickups. Other than the Mercedes-AMG G 63 6x6 and various 6x6 trucks built by Hennessey Performance, there's not much to choose from.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
