2020 Jeep Gladiator Pickup Truck Images and Specs Leak Online
It’s got the soul of a Jeep and the guts of a truck.
Hot on the wheels of those leaked pics of Ford’s so-called Baby Bronco comes this first look at the upcoming 2020 Jeep Gladiator.
And if you’ve been waiting for Jeep to make a bonafide pickup truck, consider this an early Christmas present, courtesy of a new leak from the Jeep freaks at JeepGladiatorForum.com:
The pickup marks a new foray for Jeep, who have made strides in pushing their SUV-centric lineup into a more luxurious space. The Grand Cherokee, for instance, comes with more luxurious interiors and better tech than ever before, and the all-new Commander is similarly upscale for a Jeep release.
The 2020 Gladiator seems to be a return to form for the American brand, bringing back the utility and ruggedness that carved a niche for them originally.
The Gladiator, which seems to share a lot of its style with the old school Wrangler line, most interestingly will be the only open-air pickup out there, with options for both soft and hard tops that can be swapped.
Similarly, multiple options for doors, presumably including no doors at all if the Wrangler inspiration holds, will also make the Gladiator unique.
Other details leaked include options for manual six-speed or automatic eight speed transmission options, a 3.0 liter V6 diesel option, true flip down windshield for off-road purists, 33” tires and a host of modern HUD and entertainment options.
