Shop for the new Jeep Gladiator on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/tnF5v

Rumors about a Jeep pickup truck have been swirling for years. Jeep has had a range of trucks over the past 60 years. There was the Jeepster, the Comanchee, and the Scrambler. But “Scrambler” sounds like a breakfast special at your local diner, and “Gladiator,” the name Jeep chose to resurrect for this truck, is much more fitting.

A 3.6-liter V6 engine makes 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet or torque, good enough for 7,650 pounds of towing capacity. Combined with an optional 8-speed automatic transmission (a 6-speed manual is standard), the Gladiator’s powertrain returns 19 miles per gallon in combined driving.

Jeep has installed multiple versions of the Uconnect infotainment system, and the version you get is determined by the trim you choose. The middle-tier system with a 7-inch display comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as does the top-end 8.4-inch screen. A couple of advanced safety suites pack niceties like blind-spot monitoring, rear parking-assist sensors, adaptive cruise control, and forward-collision warning. However, neither the new Wrangler nor the Gladiator have been crash tested by the NHTSA or IIHS, and crash test have never been a strong suit for Jeep’s go-anywhere off-roaders.

Pricing for the Gladiator starts at $33,545 and rises to $43,545 MSRP for the Rubicon trim. But adding options and packages can increase the price even further. The Rubicon Launch Edition started at $60,815. For more information on the 2020 Jeep Gladiator, read Chris’ full review on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/tnF4G
