Jeep Gladiator 2020 promises to be the most capable mid-size pickup that you can buy

What is it? The first Jeep pickup truck since the 1992 ill-conceived Concom – and best forgotten. It's also, according to Jeep's humble opinion, "the most capable medium truck of all time".

Why is it important? Well, unless you lived in a cave, know that everything, even remotely, looks like a truck, sells like hot cakes. If you combine that with Wrangler's great looks and Jeep's nameplate, almost everyone in the industry – even Jeep competitors – think the Gladiator will be a resounding success.

The Gladiator is available with 33-inch off-road tires, Dana 44 axles, Tru-Lock front and rear axle electric lockers, a Trac-Lok limited slip differential and a segment. exclusive system of electronic disconnection of the stabilizer bars. In other words, it's an off-road terrain. He is also a kind of workaholic, able to tow 3,475 kilograms and carry 725 kilograms in his five-foot bed. To show how serious a work truck is, Jeep engineers have even printed motocross tires on its front wall to show motorcyclists exactly where to load their bikes.

Like the standard Wrangler, there is a folding windshield that allows you to get closer to nature, soft and hard peaks. Totally unique in this segment, the four doors can be removed for a true outdoor experience. There is even a forward-facing, off-road camera available on Rubicon that makes it easy to see obstacles on the trail.

But everything in the new gladiator should not be tough. Two standard USB ports are available, and in modern shades, there is also a USB-C port on the front and a 400-watt, 115-volt, three-phase power outlet. Add fourth-generation Uconnect infotainment, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, on 7- or 8.4-inch touchscreens with pinch and zoom capabilities, and perhaps the most capable grandiloquence is true.

Oh, the motivation – I almost forgot – comes from a 285-horsepower Pentstar V6 or FCA's 3.0-liter EcoAdiesel V6.

When does it come? The Jeep Gladiator will arrive in the second quarter of 2019 as a 2020 model.

Should you buy it? What part of the "most able" did not you have? Once again, this is an authentic Jeep-style pickup truck that has all the off-road capability of the brand, which goes over the road. It will cross streams 30 inches deep, for example, while not liking? Surely the tube of the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2018, Jeeps will sell to each of these gladiator items that he can build.
