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.
