2020 Jeep Gladiator Erie PA

2020 Jeep Gladiator at Humes Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator may seem familiar because its original form debuted back in 1963, but make no mistake, this one is fully redesigned. It backs up the style with a punched-up powertrain, major off-roading capabilities, an interior to rave about, and the fact that it’s Jeep’s only current pickup truck on the market! The 2020 Gladiator has the option for the Rock-Trac 4×4 or the Command-Trac system, as well as Tru-Lok electronic locking front & rear differentials, and more! You’re looking at Best-In-Class towing & payload rights (mid-size 4×4 crew cabs), and bonus, it’s now possible to get an off-road TrailCam camera for even easier forward navigation of obstacles. The genetically passed down fold-down windshield gets backed up in the Gladiator, creating a full open-air truck sense via a new rear truckbed window area, removable doors, and a sunroof! With a prominent 30-inches high of water-fording, a rare-for-trucks sway-bar disconnect, HD Dana 44 axles, 33″ off-road tires, admittance to more than 200 JPP molded parts and more, this vehicle is the very definition of “No Holds Barred”.

What engine and transmissions are found within the Gladiator?

The Jeep 2020 Gladiator can employ either a 3.0L EcoDiesel V-6 or a 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine. An 8-speed automatic transmission can be inside partnered up to those or there can be a 6-speed manual transmission on the 3.6L engine. There is also an available Mopar-fabricated cold air intake that extends horsepower & torque, an element that plays well with a Mopar cat-back exhaust system (also optional). Both engines utilize Engine Stop-Start (ESS) technology and the powertrains can haul up to 1,600-lbs or tow up to 7,650-lbs when suitably outfitted.

What features and capabilities does the 2020 Jeep Gladiator have?

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator is prepared in four distinctive trim forms: Sport, Sport S, Overland, & Rubicon. It has a handsome soft top or dual hardtops to pick from, and a pinch-and-zoom capable 4th-gen Uconnect system that embraces Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The Crew Cab composition has a durable five-foot steel truckbed with an embedded power outlet and smartly-designed locations for the tie-downs. There’s an entire line of conceivable Jeep Performance Parts manufactured with Mopar that Jeep has authorized for the Gladiator. Some of those items are a choice of three tonneau covers, steel bumpers that can wield a winch, and a 2″ lift kit! Then there are the 17-inch beadlock wheels, mesh and solid sun-bonnets, “Moab” trails-logo all-weather mats, a factory spray-in bedliner, 7″ LEDs, exclusive hood/side-graphics, and truckbed cross rails. Several of these are now possible to acquire for the Gladiator, such as truckbed drawers (that lock) for storage as well as 2-inch tubular steel doors! There was a special edition Launch Edition model that has already sold out of its limited run, but you may see it on your travels around the internet! This model brought a leather-trimmed instrument panel, an Alpine 9-speaker premium audio system, a removable body-color Freedom Top hardtop, Falken All-Terrain 33″ tires, as well as Proximity Keyless Entry.

How about its off-roading abilities?

The Gladiator appoints the established 5-link coil suspension configuration on the front suspension, then adds an exclusive rear five-link coil suspension design to the rear end suspension. Both springs and shock have been carefully calibrated to maximize not just off-road bump mitigation, but also on-road handling. It has electrical components that are waterproofed for up to 30 inches of water-fording, skid plating, a breakover angle of 20.3 degrees, and the Rubicon’s Rock-Trac 4×4 system gets a “4LO” ratio of 4:1, heavy gauge tubular steel rock rails, plus that model has Tru-Lok locking differentials standard. On Sport and Overland models, look for the incredibly capable and standard Command-Trac 4×4 system with 2.72:1 crawl ratio. Assigned to Gladiator Rubicon models, a forward-looking off-road camera really improves its ground game, and rests in the middle of the 7-slot grille and works in tandem with the optional Off-road Pages. Throw on a bumper winch from JPP and UV-reflective sun-bonnets and you are good to go!
