The appearance of the new model in a number of the American manufacturer Jeep has been known since 2004. Then the Wrangler was first presented in the back of a pickup under the guise of a concept. The new pickup was named the Jeep Gladiator after the legendary pickup made in America from 1962 to 1971. The basis for the new pickup was the Jeep Wrangler, the manufacturer in the full sense of the word tore off everything from the exterior and interior, to technical specifications, security systems and individual components.
Given that the new pickup is completely similar to the Wrangler, we can conclude what characteristics the new product will receive. Many are already talking that the Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020 will be a brutal pickup truck capable of overcoming off-road terrain, providing cargo transportation, and towing a massive trailer. Now let's take a closer look at the Jeep Gladiator.

Exterior of the Jeep Gladiator pickup 2019-2020
As already said, the appearance of the new Jeep Gladiator pickup is fully taken from Jeep WranglerIn addition, the car was previously presented in the form of the Jeep Gladiator Concept in 2004. On the other hand, there are those nuances of the body that will be inherent only in this model and do not at all relate to the usual Wrangler. From the front, the new pickup will look exactly like a regular SUV. The designers installed modern round LED optics and a branded radiator grille on the entire front end, with vertical ribs in the center. To give more effect and modern style, the optics were decorated with round LED running lights around the circle.
From other parts of the front of the Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020 pickup, one can note the branded bumper with round foglights. There are also pronounced wheel fenders with direction indicators and a branded bonnet of the company. Just like in an SUV, the bonnet of the new 2019 Jeep Gladiator opens with latches at the front, and can be removed altogether if necessary.
If the new Jeep Gladiator 2019 is so similar in design, then naturally the windshield and roof will be the same. Depending on the selected configuration and bodywork, the front glass will be deaf or hinged, with partial or full heating. As for the roof of the Jeep Gladiator 2019, there is a complete variety, according to the standard, the roof is solid with additional stiffeners. As an option, the roof can be open with an awning or rigid with an electric sunroof. Also, the option of a removable roof for the Jeep Gladiator is not excluded.
One of the presented Jeep Gladiator pickup concepts was with a one and a half cab (the second row of doors opens in the opposite direction). Such pickup options will most likely only be with a hardtop, although there is an option for installing a panorama.
Standard Jeep Gladiator Pickup Kit it will also include side steps, dedicated rear wheel fenders and massive 17 ″ alloy wheels, but the headroom in the wheel arches will allow for much larger rims. As for the body colors of the Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020, in all likelihood it will also be inherited, at least shades are available to choose from:
- gray granite;
- dark grey;
- yellow;
- blue;
- silver;
- Orange;
- green;
- white;
- red;
- the black.
Other options for the body shades of the Jeep Gladiator 2019 are not excluded, since the model is new and most likely the manufacturer will come up with something new. Additionally, stripes, various inscriptions and, of course, chrome nameplates can be applied to the body of the pickup. The manufacturer does not limit the buyer in design and offers many additional options and accessories. The Jeep Gladiator's one-and-a-half cab will look the most interesting; the designers have placed spare wheels on both sides, immediately between the rear wheel arch and the side door.
Rear end The 2019-2020 Jeep Gladiator meets the pickup requirements quite well. The massive body part of the trunk allows you to transport cargo weighing up to 725 kg. For convenient loading, the rear end of the Jeep Gladiator is equipped with a door with the company's logo, a massive bumper with a footrest for access to the trunk and branded LED feet.
Unlike an SUV, for the new Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020 pickup, the manufacturer is already developing a lot of additional accessories in the form of an awning, a metal frame, various lighting and other details that simplify transportation and safety of cargo. With additional elements of the pickup, you can note a variety of winches and an LED stop repeater above the rear window.
In total, the appearance of the new Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020 pickup is a mixture of the previously known model and added elements that further emphasize the rigor and reliability of the car. More details about the new pickup can be found after the official presentation, then the manufacturer will present a full list of pickup options and all kinds of additions.
Interior of the Jeep Gladiator pickup 2019-2020
Unlike the 2019-2020 Jeep Gladiator's exterior, which is partly similar to the Wrangler, and partly received unique details, the interior of the new pickup is literally ripped off the Wrangler. The designers have precisely moved the front panel, installing the same instruments and control systems, both on the center console and on the tunnel between the seats.
Front Panel The 2019 Jeep Gladiator gets the same rough cut with the front passenger side override knob. The main, central part of the console is the touchscreen display of the multimedia system. Depending on the configuration of the Jeep Gladiator, the display can be 7 ″ or 8.4 ″, the basis for multimedia will simultaneously serve as the operating system Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. On the sides of the display, the designers have placed a pair of round air ducts, a couple more of these can be found on the driver's and front passenger's sides.
Going down the center console of the Jeep Gladiator 2019, there is a climate control panel, a control panel for security systems, a little lower a control panel for power windows, charging from 12V and USB ports. The whole set is completed with a small compartment for storing small things or a mobile phone while charging and a pair of hidden connectors closed with plugs.
No less interesting will be the tunnel between the front seats of the Jeep Gladiator 2019. At the very beginning, the transmission lever and the all-wheel drive control lever are installed. A little further, there is a mechanical handbrake and a pair of cup holders, completing the whole set with a spacious armrest. Despite the presence of charging connectors on the front of the Jeep Gladiator 2019, engineers have decided to add a couple more USB ports in the armrest. The seats of the new Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020 pickup are partially taken from an SUV. The first row of seats will be identical, with a high backrest, massive headrests and a comfortable fit. Among the details of the comfort of the seats, one can note the electric adjustment drive, good lateral support and the driver's seat memory for several modes.
Second row of seats The 2019 Jeep Gladiator is heavily trimmed. If the car has 4 doors, then the second row is exactly taken from the Wrangler, if the one and a half version of the cab, then the second row seats will be smaller and less comfortable in landing. Rumor has it that the engineers of the Gladiator pickup truck want to add a folding function to, if necessary, fold the panel into the luggage compartment from the passenger compartment and thereby increase the space for transportation, but so far this is only theory.
The rest of the information on the interior of the 2019-2020 Jeep Gladiator is not available, in all likelihood, the novelty will inherit the same materials (fabric, leather) as its fellow SUV in design. The interior colors are also likely to remain unchanged, presented in black or brown. Despite the fact that the interior of the new Jeep Gladiator is familiar to many with another SUV model, the designers took only the best, thereby emphasizing the reliability and style of their models.
The last detail of the 2019 Jeep Gladiator interior to consider is driver's seat... Taking into account the modifications of the designers, they promise two dashboards, one standard with two round instruments (tachometer and speedometer), as well as a color display of the on-board computer in the center. The second version of the instrument panel promises to be fully digital, based on a 12.3 ″ color display, thus keeping up with the trend of modern cars.
Steering wheel The Gladiator pickup truck will remain unchanged, the usual three spokes, two of which are reserved for function buttons. The steering wheel can be adjusted in height and depth, starting from the basic configuration. Otherwise, the driver's seat will not differ much, so the driver of the Wrangler SUV will easily get used to the new environment.
Specifications Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020
If the exterior and interior of the new Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020 pickup can still somehow be considered and decided on new details, then one can only guess what was placed under the hood of the pickup. The manufacturer keeps this information secret until the official premiere. At the same time, many experts are already talking about what to expect from the novelty.
Likely new pickup Jeep Gladiator 2019 will inherit from Wrangler all-wheel drive system Rock-Trac and Command-Trac, state of the art Trac-Lok limited slip differential, as well as electronic locking in the front and rear axles of the pickup. Most likely, the new Jeep will also have an advanced anti-roll bar, based on an electronic release system. These are the parts that have proven themselves well on the new Wrangler Rubicon.
The range of units of the Gladiator pickup truck will also not stand aside, the first models will be equipped with a naturally aspirated V6 with a 3.6-liter Pentastar gasoline engine. The power of the unit is 289 horses, and the maximum torque is 352 Nm. In tandem with the engine, the manufacturer proposes to install a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Later Jeep Gladiator modelsintroduced in 2020 can get a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 diesel engine with 264 horsepower and a maximum torque of 599 Nm. Such units will be equipped only with an 8-speed automatic transmission and an engine Start / Stop system.
2019 Jeep Gladiator safety and comfort
Likewise, like the technical specifications, there is no information on the safety and comfort of the new Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020 pickup. Still, given the identity of the interior and exterior, we can say that the new pickup will inherit the same security systems that are installed on the SUV.
Most likely, the list of the new Jeep Gladiator 2019 pickup will include:
- front and side airbags;
- safety curtains;
- electronic vehicle stabilization system;
- tire pressure monitoring;
- blind spot monitoring system;
- all-round visibility system;
- assistant at the start downhill (descent from the mountain);
- brake system assistant;
- light and rain sensors;
- recognition system for pedestrians, road signs and obstacles;
- vehicle holding system in a horizontal position;
- lane traffic monitoring;
- Cruise control;
- navigation;
- intelligent four-wheel drive control system.
This is a minimal list of what the new Jeep Gladiator 2019-2020 pickup can be equipped with. It is these systems that have proven themselves best on the production version of the Wrangler SUV. The option is not excluded that the list will also include more modern systems and assistants, which were not previously available on other models of the brand's cars.
