2020 Jeep Gladiator | Part Jeep, Part Truck 

Lol no. You must not have been inside a full size crew cab truck.

The biggest advantage of a longer bed is that I can sleep in it, when using the truck as an overland vehicle.

Daniel Blaney, Yup!!! It would be nice if it was about $4k cheaper too. $40k + (Sport S with a few basic options) for a truck that is too long overall but with a bed that is too short means I just saved myself $40k +.

There isn’t a large enough market for that body style. Most pickups are crew cabs with 5ft beds. This style is the most utilitarian for the majority of truck buyers.

Someone's never towed with a mid 80s inline 6 Ford, hardly any power and torque specs closer to 100 than 200 and itll still gladly pull anything behind it without trouble

Jake Krause right! I noticed like 4 auto review RU-vidrs come out at the same time

6ft tall

Spare tire sits underneath the bed.

Watch more RU-vid it tells all

Wait for Savage Geese...

HARRY ELDRIDGE -> The top that you’re referencing is really slick. Jeep won’t offer that on the Gladiator because it wouldn’t have enough “retract room” to justify it. That top works on the 4-door JL because the top retracts to an area over the cargo bay- giving back seat passengers the “open air” feeling.

I don’t know why part of my other comment has the “strike through” line????

Janet Airlines you might think that, but I have two 2014 promasters, both with over 440,000 miles on them. And I have a 15 fiat 500 Abarth, also ultra reliable. All three are Fiat products built in mexico. I think that when we think of FCA junk, what we are really talking about is Mercedes junk - the bad engineering and poor quality that resulted as benz ran the company into the ground. Those days are long gone, but the reputation remains.

V-MAFIA->. Jeep puts the window switches on the dash so that when 1 person wants to take the doors off, that one person only has to go right to the dash to roll all of the windows down 1st. As far as door locks- always good to have door locks on ever door

Washington Township?

Kevin CinnamonToast the storage compartment, although they say it’s for a fishing pole, was really made for a rifle. You will be able to easily lock a ar15 inside without any problems. Especially if you separate the upper and lower receiver.

No, not on the Wrangler/Gladiator line. Could be soon tho.

@@hellkitty1014 thanks for the info. My wife wanted me to sell my heavily modified 2007 JKU and buy a Gladiator to tow her slightly modified 2015 JKU Rubicon. I bought a 2019 RAM 1500 Limited with 5.7 Etorque instead. Now I can trailer either Jeep.

Possible Russian spy. We need to reopen the Mueller investigation.

I think it's Alex's new staff member...(camera, editor, etc).

@@NukePooch1 she does have her hand on a camera. Left hand on the camera right hand clutching some papers or a book or something.

It's Sarah, I presume. She was in the credits in some of the earlier videos, IIRC.

Does it go topless Nothing beats a Jeep .

Edwin Alfredo 😂😂😂

wizetek from what I understand, it’s the same old pentastar but with start/stop. Not a bad thing - I have 2 2014 promasters with the pentastar, and they are bulletproof. Both have over 440,000 miles (freight delivery). At launch, we were promised a hybrid pentastar, a hybrid turbo 4, and the diesel. Looks like we’re gonna have to wait.

The auto ZF is still junk.

Joe Larson and A Lot cheaper!

Mowcowbell from what I understand putting a bigger engine in the Jeeep hurts its safety rating.

CAFE regulations. A Hemi engine would be popular, but it world turn into an even bigger gas guzzler and would lower the vehicle average.

@Mario Lopez It was designed to handle the Ecodiesel. That engine is heavier and has more torque than the Hemi.

@Mario Lopez I don't think cornering ability and high speeds are of much concern to people looking for a Hemi Wrangler. The Hemi has more usable power. Besides that, people literally buy V8s just of sound alone.

@Mario Lopez Nobody asked you what you wanted to purchase.

Ed Wow...that is a would be a really useful and interesting option to have, would increase versatility considerably.

@@hippiebits2071 actually Alex didn't mention it but the tailgate can be set to a halfway point so 8 foot items rest on the tailgate and wheel wells. Usually alex mentions everything so I am a bit surprised it is missing

Gladiator Rubicon has 7000 lbs towing.

@@5stardave but the Rubicon is $15k more than a Taco, I'm comparing by price

Tony P for my lifestyle and location it's perfect. It's anything but silly. And considering you've never likely been in one what do you know. For a lot of us it will be a great tool.

Turning circle is supposed to be 45'. That's full-size territory. "I look forward to seeing these in parking lots with too many light bars, unnecessarily large tires with a cheap suspension lift, and absolutely zero dirt on the body, making 8-point turns trying to get into the parking spot." FIFY

@@jjames2162 I know the spec sheet and I know the demographic. If it works for you, great. But if you're honestly considering buying, weigh you other options in the segment before signing on the dotted line.

Tony P I disagree. When we think of crap chrysler products, what we are really talking about is crap benz products. I have two promasters and a fiat 500, and they are quality vehicles and ultra reliable. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s true. It’s the dark days of benz that continues to give fca a bad rep. As to the gladiator, recognize that it’s truly unique. It’s a 4 door pickup that hauls and tows, but it’s also a king of the hill off-roader. Oh and it’s a convertible whose doors and windshield come off. NOTHING else is remotely like that.

@@kipamore When did I mention MB or 'crap Chrysler' products? I have nothing against Jeep or Chrysler products. Though they are, statistically, WELL below the industry average in reliability: www.jdpower.com/business/press-releases/2019-us-vehicle-dependability-studyvds The main, unique, thing in this segment for the Gladiator is the solid front axle and the absurd price-point. A Tundra hauls more, costs less, has significantly more the power, and comes with Toyota reliability (see above). Though I understand it's much larger and in an (arguably) different segment. That said, there are even more suitable vehicles, for most consumers, that directly compare to the Gladiator that are also much cheaper. Have you seen the windshield removed from a JK/JL? Not only is it a huge asspain to fold down (not remove), it still leaves a 'frame' around the area. Gone are the days of CJ-5/7 or even 73 series Land Cruisers thanks to safety standards. The doors, I'll give you that. Though nearly every newer Jeep I see here in Utah (or anywhere I've traveled) still has the standard doors installed though-out the year. I suppose it's along the same lines of driving around in your Porsche GT2 MR down Beverly Hills Blvd and claiming it posted the fasted laptime on the 'Ring for a modified production car. Great it can do it, though it'll never do that again. Merely bragging rights. Lastly, I don't know what your criteria is for "king of the hill off-roader" but the Land Cruiser guys may have something to say about that. To Americans, maybe, but there are 194 other countries that will attest to the fact that the Land Cruiser is the only choice.
