2020 Jeep Gladiator revealed: Photo Gallery

The curtains have dropped on the hotly anticipated Jeep Gladiator.

Revealed overnight at the LA Auto Show, the Gladiator is set for arrival in the second quarter of 2019 and will be available in Sport, Sport S, Overland and top-of-the-range Rubicon trim.

Jeep’s 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine will be offered with all variants, and it will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission as standard – an eight-speed auto is optional. A 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 will be offered in 2020.

Allowing you to better hear that V6 pounding away at unrelenting terrain is that the Gladiator is the only true open-air pick-up – a soft-top and two hard-tops are available.

“Unquestionably a truck and instantly recognisable as a Jeep, the all-new 2020 Gladiator is the ultimate vehicle for any outdoor adventure,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Jeep Brand - North America. “There is tremendous demand for this unique vehicle from our loyal Jeep customers and pickup truck buyers everywhere. Born from a rich and proud heritage of tough, dependable Jeep trucks, Gladiator combines rugged utility, versatility and functionality resulting in the most capable mid-size truck ever.”
