Jeep Gladiator Forum
Thanks to an FCA media leak and some dedicated Jeep fans, we get the first look at the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Pickup (JT)!
The design is authentically Jeep, with the Iconic keystone-shaped grille, round headlamps with square tail lamps and will be available in both soft top and two hard top options. Lightweight, high-strength aluminum is used in doors, hinges, hood, fenders, windshield frame and tailgate to help boost fuel economy.
Just like the Jeep Wrangler, it will offer a greater “open air experience” with a folding windshield - available in many different combinations for the door, top and windshield. Design for the crew cab includes a 1.5 metre (5 foot) steel bed, a covered external power source and strong tie-downs.
The Gladiator will be available with two advanced fuel-efficient powertrains:
- The 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine with Engine Stop-Start (ESS) with a choice of 8-speed automatic or the 6-speed manual transmission.
- Or with the 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V-6 with ESS and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Offering “best-in-class” towing capabilities up to 3467 kgs (7650 lbs) and 4x4 payload capacities up to 725 kgs (1600 lbs). The Gladiator boasts “unmatched” crawl ratios as well as on and off-road capabilities with:
- Command-Trac and Rock-Trac 4x4 systems
- Third-generation Dana 44 axles
- Tru-Lock electric front- and rear-axle lockers
- Trac-Lok limited-slip differential
- Segment-exclusive electronic sway-bar disconnect
- 33-inch off-road tires
More features leaked for the 2020 Jeep Gladiator:
- Suspension tuned to optimize on-road handling and ride comfort without sacrificing off-road capability, payload or towing capability
- Fourth-generation Uconnect system includes Apple Carplay, Android Auto and the choice of 7.0- or 8.4-inch touchscreens with pinch-and-zoom capability
