It's been more than 25 years, but the vehicle, the Jeep fans, have been demanding since the company killed the Comanche van based in Cherokee in 1992. The Wrangler Jeep Gladiator van was finally revealed. magnificent.
Beautiful, but not at all surprising, because it looks exactly like what you imagine (and wish) a Wrangler-based pickup to watch – Wrangler in front, pick up.
Similarly, not surprisingly, this is quite similar to the ultimate Wrangler conversion by last-generation AEV that we saw here as the Wrangler Brute in 2016 because, after all, there are only so many ways to make a Wrangler ute. Well, a really.

The Gladiator is pretty much exactly what you would expect and would like to look like a Jeep pickup.
The photos and brief specs that leaked appeared on the Fiat Chrysler US media website some time ago, but were quickly removed before being re-posted online in a message deleted since on the American website Truck trend.

Although the Gladiator's 725 kg payload may be lower than we expect in New Zealand, it can still tow 3,500 kg.
The Gladiator chassis is 790 mm longer than the JL Wrangler Unlimited, while its wheelbase is greater than 490 mm, while the larger axles, brakes and suspension are specific to the Gladiator. He will be able to carry 725 kg on the plateau and tow 3,470 kg. .
On the front, the Jeep pickup will receive the same upgraded 3.6-liter Pentastar petrol V6 as the latest Wrangler (again, without surprises), which produces 212 kW of power and 352 Nm of torque and is available with a six-speed manual gearbox or eight. high speed automatic transmission. A 3.0-liter diesel V6 of 194 kW / 600 Nm will arrive in 2020 and will only be available on the 8-speed car.
And, yes, there will of course be a Rubicon version of the off-road Gladiator, but after all, what would it be used for?
The Rubicon will feature Fox 2-inch diameter aluminum shocks, chests, a detachable front stabilizer bar, a 4: 1 transmission ratio and 33-inch rammed tires. . All this, combined with the claimed approach angle of 43.6 degrees, a tilt angle of 20.3 degrees, a starting angle of 26 degrees and a ground clearance of 282 mm should make the Gladiator Rubicon a pretty dreadful off-road beast.
Like the Wrangler, the gladiator windshield can lie flat on the hood. The roof and doors are removable, providing a unique outdoor experience in the mid-size pickup segment. Your Ranger can not do that.
The Gladiator will be available in the above Sport, Sport S, Overland and Rubicon versions. Its arrival in the New Zealand showrooms is confirmed in 2020. Local prices and specifications have been announced in the approaching launch.
