A few trucks get to be the exclamation point on an entire build program, and this 2025 Jeep Gladiator seems to know it. Listed for no-reserve bidding at Barrett-Jackson's 2026 Las Vegas auction, it wears a windshield banner reading "The Last Bandit" and carries the distinction of being the final Bandit Outlaw Edition truck, subtitled "Endgame." Photos and build details come from the Barrett-Jackson listing, which is handling the sale.
Under the hood is Jeep's familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, paired with an eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. The running gear has been upgraded with heavy-duty Dana 44 axles front and rear, and the truck rolls on a set of custom 37-inch off-road tires wrapped around gold-finished wheels that echo the hood's flame graphics.
The Bandit treatment covers nearly every visible surface, from tri-color pinstriping along the rocker panels to bold BANDIT lettering stamped across the front fenders. Inside, the custom work continues with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, and the sale includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting the build. With only 176 miles on the odometer, this Gladiator is essentially showroom fresh despite already carrying a name usually reserved for the end of an era.
The Gladiator nameplate has a long history of attracting builders willing to push it in unusual directions. Barrett-Jackson has previously offered other heavily modified Gladiators, including a 2020 example turned into a three-axle 6x6, a sign that there's real appetite for one-off trucks built on Jeep's mid-size pickup platform.
Where does a truck like this sit in the broader market? Hagerty's valuation tools don't yet track modern Gladiators, since the price guide is built around vehicles old enough to have an established collector history, but it does track the original Jeep Gladiator pickups from the 1960s. Hagerty lists #3-condition (Good) examples of trucks like the J-210 and J-220 in the $14,000-$17,000 range, a reminder that the Gladiator name has carried real truck-collector interest for six decades. For a heavily built, low-mile modern truck like this Bandit Outlaw Endgame edition, there's no price guide entry to lean on; results from auctions like this one effectively set the market in real time.
This Gladiator crosses the block as part of Barrett-Jackson's 2026 Las Vegas sale, the same event where a resto-modded 1968 Camaro with an LS3 swap is also drawing attention, underscoring just how wide the range of metal at these no-reserve sales can be, from vintage muscle to brand-new custom trucks.
Whether "Endgame" turns out to be the final word on the Bandit Outlaw series remains to be seen, but for now, this Gladiator gives bidders one last shot at a nearly new truck built to stand out in a parking lot full of Wranglers.
