2020 Jeep Wrangler Jeep lovers trying to choose between the Wrangler and Gladiator will wrestle with this decision. The good news is, there's no wrong decision. Both are Jeeps, both are off-road warriors, and the only real thing to decide on is which one is right for you? Here's a look at some of the features any Jeep lover will appreciate to help you decide. Trim Levels Both the Gladiator and the Wrangler come in four trim levels. The base model on both is the Sport, and the next level is the Sport S. The Sport S has access to more option packages. The luxury version of the Wrangler is the Sahara, and the Gladiator luxury trim is the Overland. In both cases you're looking at similarly equipped vehicles. Leather-trimmed, premium sound systems, and heated seats are just a few of the upgrades on both. One difference here is the Gladiator comes with a Bluetooth speaker to take your tunes with you when you leave the vehicle. more The off-road trims are the Rubicon on both the Wrangler and the Gladiator. Both are similarly equipped with the Trail Rated badging and a bevvy of off-road extras. Beefed up transfer cases, undercarriages, off-road tires, and more are all found on the Rubicon. Special Editions 2020 Jeep Gladiator You'll find that the Gladiator comes in the four versions above. However, presumably because its been around a lot longer, the Wrangler has five special edition models available. The Wyllis edition is in homage to the original Jeep CJ-3A, built over 70 years ago. Throwback styling points combine with Trail Rated engineering to create the Wyllis. With the Black and Tan edition, you'll get a Sunrider soft top on a classic Jeep with blacked-out detailing and, of course, the Trail Rated badge. The Sport Altitude and Sahara Altitude editions are similar yet have some differences. A three-piece Freedom Top hardtop can be found on the Sport Altitude. The Sahara Altitude has a more polished, body-color hardtop. Both have gloss-black wheels, headlamp inserts, and grilles for a distinctive look. The Freedom edition is a tribute to those who have served America. The Freedom has military-themed badging like a star on the hood and an "On the Move" Oscar Mike decal on the tailgate. Seats also have the Oscar Mike logo embroidered on them. Truck or SUV The main difference between these two vehicles is obvious from the first look. The Gladiator is a truck, while the Wrangler is an SUV. Both come standard with four-wheel drive and all the legendary capability that goes along with a Jeep. The Gladiator though, is the first truck made by Jeep in over 30 years. Its best-in-class towing capacity of 7,650 pounds and a payload of up to 1,600 pounds, making this truck a serious contender in the mid-size truck market. The Wrangler is no slouch either. A 3,000-pound towing capacity means you can take the boat or camper wherever your adventure takes you. In the end, it comes down to style and needs. If you want the utility of a pickup truck, pick the Gladiator. If off-road adventure is your game, choose the Wrangler. Come test drive one today and find out which one is right for you.

Image by https://bit.ly/2ScCwag For nearly three decades, Jeep offered a lineup of quality vehicles, albeit with one gaping void: a pickup truck. In 2019, the Detroit automaker shored up its fleet with the addition of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator. As the first pickup in 28 years, the Gladiator has some massive expectations, but its appearance and features make it an intriguing buy. Furthermore, the Gladiator offers a number of standard off-road features that give it that legendary Jeep all-terrain prowess. Critics are already saying that the Gladiator just might be the most off-road-capable pickup of all time. The Engine You can't enjoy slopping through the mud or traversing over boulders without an engine that provides enough giddy-up to get the job done. That's why the 2020 Jeep Gladiator employs a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. With this at the helm, the Gladiator dishes out 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, providing more than enough zest to get over the toughest hills and steepest ascents. more Dana 44 Axles You probably don't pay much attention to the axles underneath your vehicle, but when you're off-roading they're an essential part of functionality and durability. To that degree, the Gladiator comes equipped with Dana 44 axles — some of the best and most reputable axles in the industry. Featuring upgrades for on-trail strength and optimal performance, these axles are sure to have you blazing new trails without fear of damage. TrailCam Off-Road Camera The TrailCam Off-Road Camera is a first in the Jeep lineup and a segment-exclusive feature. Using a camera mounted on the front of the vehicle, you can get a front-row view of the road (or lack thereof) ahead from a more insightful perspective right on the vehicle's dashboard. If there's an obstacle, crevice, or boulder in your path, you'll know in plenty of time, allowing you to adjust the Gladiator's path accordingly. Standard Four-by-Four System Each trim of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator comes with a standard four-by-four drivetrain that's powered by Jeep's design and ingenuity. As the same system offered by the legendary off-road powerhouse known as the Jeep Wrangler, this four-by-four drivetrain can work its way through just about any type of terrain. Plus, it offers both a low and high range for you to adjust your torque to the current driving conditions. All-Terrain Tires If you've ever tried to wander off-road with a set of all-season, summer, or winter tires, you know how arduous simple tasks are. To circumvent that problem, the Jeep comes with standard 33-inch all-terrain tires. These mammoth pieces of rubber can help you overcome many of the obstacles that you might find during an off-road excursion while making short work of gravel, rocks, mud, and other road conditions. Paired with the four-by-four system, you have all the tools to make short work of the track, even if you're a novice off-roading enthusiast. Is the 2020 Gladiator good for off-road adventures? On paper, it certainly is. But the only way to tell is to get behind the wheel of one of these beauties today.

The Gladiator is an all-new model coming to the Jeep lineup that takes all the best things about a Jeep Wrangler and combines it with a pickup truck. This truck will have all the capabilities of a 4x4 Jeep and the functionality of a pickup truck. It's the only open-air pickup on the market and comes with a number of special features. Here are some of the reasons you need a 2019 Jeep Gladiator. The Look Up front, the Gladiator will look just like a Wrangler, but when you get around back, it has a pickup truck bed. It will feature fully removable soft and hard tops, removable doors, and a folding windshield. It borrowed its doors from the Wrangler Unlimited, and up front, you'll find the round headlights that Jeep is known for. Jeep will build the Gladiator on a new frame that's 31 inches longer than the Wrangler Unlimited, and it will have a longer wheelbase. Jeep will add a 5-foot bed made from steel, and an aluminum tailgate. The bed will incorporate several tie downs and will have several power outlets. more The Power Jeep hasn't confirmed it yet, but experts believe that a 3.6-liter Pentastar engine will power the Gladiator. It should get about 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, and Jeep will offer it with both an automatic transmission and a six-speed manual. There's also speculation that a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel will come later, which would produce 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. This will work with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Towing Capabilities You can expect to see best-in-class towing from the Gladiator with a maximum of 7,650 pounds, which is more than most other trucks in this market. It will also have a max payload of 1,600 pounds. Every model will come with heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles and Jeep's capable 4x4 system with both high and low range. The Models Jeep will offer the Gladiator in Sport, Sport S, Overland, and Rubicon trim levels. The Rubicon will add several off-road features, such as lockable wide track axles, FOX shocks, 33-inch all-terrain tires, rock rails for the rocker panels, and an electronic disconnecting front sway bar. It will also come with a new forward-facing TrailCam Camera designed for off-roading trips. This will help the driver navigate obstacles. The Interior Inside, the cabin will look a lot like the Wrangler Unlimited. The rear seats will now have a locking storage system underneath them, and the sports bar gets pushed to the back of the rear seats to make room for the bed. A 5-inch touch screen comes standard with an available 8.4-inch screen with the Uconnect 4C NAV infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. It will also have an exclusive removable Bluetooth wireless speaker that you can store in the back. This will stay charged so you can use it any time and anywhere. The exciting new Gladiator should hit showroom floors in the second quarter of 2019. Keep an eye out for more information as we approach the launch date. Image Courtesy of Jeep.com
