Mopar is enhancing the towing experience of the Jeep Gladiator with the release of a new trailer brake controller, providing the ability to activate the electronic brakes on properly equipped trailers.
The 4x4 Jeep Gladiator is powered by the 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine. A 3.0L EcoDiesel V-6 will be available in 2020. The body-on-frame pickup can tow up to 7,650 pounds and has a steel bed with a 1,600-pound payload capacity.
The 2020 Jeep Gladiator midsize pickup began shipping to U.S. dealers from its home at the Toledo Assembly Complex on April 12, FCA US has announced. The company invested $273 million to retool and modernize the Ohio plant for Gladiator production and added 329 full-time positions to support the build.
The Wrangler-based 2020 Gladiator revives a nameplate from a Jeep pickup offered in the 1960s. Automotive Fleet captured video of the midsize truck at the LA Auto Show.
The 2018 LA Auto Show included plenty of notable vehicle debuts, including the Jeep Gladiator midsize pickup, Hyundai Palisade three-row SUV, Toyota Corolla Hybrid and AWD Prius, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda Mazda3, and BMW X7 three-row SUV.
Hoping to capitalize on the popularity of midsize pickups, Jeep will offer its 2020 Gladiator as a 4x4-only pickup that may land more with retail than commercial buyers, but could find its way into fleets with a need to traverse rugged terrain.
