Does the Jeep Gladiator qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Jeep Gladiator is built and what it means for your loan interest.

PASS — assembled in the USA
The Jeep Gladiator qualifies on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
The Jeep Gladiator pickup is built alongside the Wrangler at the Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio, so it clears the OBBBA final-assembly test. New, personal-use, and financed under the income cap, a Gladiator loan's interest can be deductible. Assembly is one requirement among several.
Where the Jeep Gladiator is assembled
| Assembly plant | Location | Assembly test |
|---|---|---|
| Toledo Assembly Complex | Toledo, OH | ✓ United States |
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly PASS is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Jeep Gladiator built?
The Gladiator is assembled at the Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio — the same plant as the Wrangler — a US final-assembly point that meets the assembly test.
Is the Gladiator treated like a truck or an SUV for the deduction?
The deduction covers qualifying personal-use vehicles regardless of body style, so a US-built Gladiator is eligible if the loan, income, and new-vehicle tests are met.
Does using the Gladiator for work change things?
The OBBBA deduction is for personal use. Interest on a truck used mainly for business is handled under separate business rules, not this one.
