Jeep Gladiator

Anyone who’s ever been caught in bad weather in a Jeep with the doors off knows that it’s really nice to have protection from the elements if you need it. While you don’t get as much air and scenery with half-doors on the Jeep Wrangler, at least you can keep the soft upper segments of the door handy in case you need them when the rain starts.

Jeep has announced a new version of the Gladiator pickup that is exclusive to Texas. The truck is called the Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail, and it’s based on the Gladiator Sport S trim. The Texas Trail edition gets standard 17-inch mid-gloss black aluminum wheels, 32-inch mud-train tires, and the Trailer Tow Group.

Jeep has unveiled a new concept vehicle called the Gladiator Top Dog. It’s a custom off-road truck that was designed specifically with mountain biking enthusiasts in mind. It packs massive amounts of storage and creature comforts to make a day out on the trails more fun.

One of the most popular trims available on the Jeep Wrangler has been the Willys edition that brings a different style and better tires to the venerable off-roader. For 2021, Jeep has announced that pickup fans can get the Willys package on the Gladiator Sport or Sport S models.

A Jeep dealer bulletin has leaked that highlights a couple of new Gladiator pickups that are expected for the 2021 model year. According to the sheet, there are two versions of the Gladiator Willys, both getting black 17-inch wheels with mud-terrain tires, Rubicon rock rails, a Trac-Lok limited-slip differential, black exterior accents, and Willys decals and body-color fender flares.

One of the more interesting things to happen to the Jeep Wrangler in recent memory was the addition of a diesel engine option. Since the Gladiator pickup debuted, the only available engine has been the gas V6, but an EcoDiesel option is coming to the truck as well.

When the Jeep Gladiator came out last year, it marked the first time Jeep had made a pickup truck in decades. Until now, the most capable version you could buy has been the Rubicon. That’s still the case if you’re planning on crawling slowly over rocks and steep grades, but if you’re looking for a Gladiator that can tackle sand dunes, undulating hills, and dirt roads as fast as possible, the Mojave is the better choice, and overall, I think it’s the best Gladiator model you can buy at the moment.

The guys at Hennessey Performance recently started producing the first of their Maximus 1000 Jeep Gladiators, and to celebrate the launch, they released a little bit of video footage of the beastly custom truck taking to the desert.

The tuning experts at Hennessey Performance have unveiled what it calls the ultimate Gladiator, and it sure seems like an accurate description. The 2020 Hennessey Maximus 1000 is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator with the puny V6 pulled out, and a 6.2L Supercharged Hellcat V8 put inside.

Dynatrac is one of the biggest names in the axle and drivetrain world, and it has teamed up with a conversion specialist called America’s Most Wanted 4×4, a company specializing in Hemi conversions for Jeeps. The worked together to put a new Jeep Gladiator under the knife for some extreme surgery.

Plenty of Jeep Wrangler owners and Gladiator hopefuls want to know why Jeep doesn’t offer the Hemi V8 or the blown Hellcat V8 in their off-road. It turns out the V8 fits like a glove, and that is the problem.

The annual Jeep Easter Safari is going on in Moab, Utah later this month, and as always, Jeep is heading there with some epic concept vehicles. With the new Gladiator launching this year, we’re sure to see some custom trucks on hand.

One of the most anticipated entries into the mid-size truck segment is the Jeep Gladiator.

At this point, we all know the new Jeep Gladiator is coming. The mid-size truck is expected to sell in droves and print money for FCA. To celebrate the launch of the truck, Jeep has bought commercial spots during this weekend’s big game.
