2020 Ram 2500 Trim Levels Overview for the Best Buy

For Bay City drivers looking for more from their full-size truck, the Ram 2500 is a model that deserves special attention. This ultra-powerful 2020 Ram 2500 is packed with a host of premium performance and exclusive features, making it ready for any challenge. The 2020 Ram 2500 has seven trim levels. Basic Level Ram 2500 - Tradesman, the other six are Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, Big Horn, Lone Star, Power Wagon, and Limited.

Each trim level offers robust features and different functions inside and outside. For your help to decide which of the 2020 Ram 2500 trim levels is right for you, our team at Reliance Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has noted down the key feature found in the different configurations of the Ram 2500.

2020 Ram 2500 Tradesman

The Ram 2500 Tradesman extracts up to 410hp from a 6.4-liter V8 petrol engine block. This naturally-sucked powertrain proudly displays the HEMI logo and provides a maximum torque of 429 lb-ft. This entry-level Ram pickup comes standard with a TorqueFlite automatic transmission with eight different gear sequences. This dedicated gearbox also creates over 40 unique wiring diagrams for responsive performance. Inside the Tradesman Edition is a single alternator that produces up to 180 amps. Again, this basic model can be equipped with two 220 amp alternators to meet demanding driving conditions.

2020 Ram 2500 Big Horn

The Ram 2500 Big Horn can fit with an optional Cummins I-6 engine block. A turbocharger helps this diesel engine deliver up to 850 lb-ft of maximum torque. Combined with the six-speed automatic transmission from the Aisin Series, this six-cylinder transmission also produces 370 hp. An anti-spin rear differential is optional on this powerful RAM. An electronic gearshift system also controls the transfer case for optimum traction. In terms of looks, the Big Horn version features a chrome bumper and a black-trim grille. Notable interior elements include vinyl door upholstery and fabric seat upholstery.

2020 Ram 2500 Lone Star

Technically similar to the Big Horn trim, the Lone Star State added bespoke style hints to the 2020 model. While the truck's exterior receives chrome handles on the door handles and grille, there are badges and symbols inside and out, to remember that this model allows for the pride of the South. The Lone Star has 18-inch wheels and can be fitted with a fifth wheel harness to pull any cowboy's horse trailer.

2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon

The dynamic 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon is equipped with OWL tires suitable for use on and off-road. This mid-range pickup has LED headlights with black bezels for style. You also get powder coated bumpers and LED fog lights on this sturdy Ram pickup. The transfer trolley is connected to a manual switching system for precise control of the transmission during operation.

The Power Wagon version also has durable shock absorbers from the well-known Bilstein brand. Besides, this fairing has protective panels covering the fuel tank, transfer case, and front suspension.

2020 Ram 2500 Limited

The Ram 2500 is slightly cheaper than the Limited Power Wagon, but that does not mean it is less powerful. The pickup has the most impressive engine: the 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The vehicle gives 383 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. Thanks to variable valve timing technology, you can expect excellent fuel economy. These factors play a role in a maximum weight of 17,510 pounds and a payload of 3,610 pounds.

2020 Ram 2500 Laramie

Laramie Trim adds LED lighting to the front and rear for increased front seat adjustability (10-way power adjustment for driver and passenger seats, including lumbar support). The seats are heated in the front, and a larger 8.4-inch infotainment screen has been added along with the Alpine 9-speaker sound system, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

2020 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn

If you choose the Laramie Longhorn trim, you will see a lot of interior features. The shop includes premium real wood accent interiors, a stylish addition that helps transform your cabin. You'll also find the 8.4 NAV unconnected system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen complemented by the standard nine Alpine speakers.

The best is dual-zone automatic temperature control, which allows drivers and passengers to customize their specific area's vehicle temperature.

2020 Dodge Power Wagon Redesign, Release Date And Price – From the most recent reports, 2020 Power Wagon will come with precisely like the 2017 year product. This is one of the lengthiest-dwelling nameplates in American vehicle business. It surfaced way back at the beginning of 40’s. Firstly, it is a good version. Even so, the business extra this name to the company’s best-identified truck known as Ram. Within this form, Power Wagon is because 1981 and yes it still works.

It is a truck that is based on Ram’s 2500 series, and that is a starting the product whenever it worries weighty-responsibility pickups. The 2020 Dodge Power Wagon will continue to have some kind of unique particulars in comparison to base 2500 model. However, many of the elements keep exact same.

Em que as picapes americanas são diferentes das brasileiras?

As opções de picapes americanas vem lentamente aumentando no Brasil e elas são bastante diferente do que estamos acostumados

Por anos o mercado de caminhonetes no Brasil era dominado por modelos americanos: as Ford F100 e Chevrolet C14 protagonizavam, enquanto a Dodge D100 era um mero coadjuvante. Em 1979 a Fiat criou a categoria das picapes compactas derivadas de carros de passeio, mas dentre as picapes tradicionais as americanas reinavam.

Com a abertura das importações nos anos 90 chegaram as picapes médias japonesas. Nessa mesma época os fabricantes americanos apostaram nesse segmento de picapes médias, decisão que se mostrou acertada. Com a Chevrolet Silverado saindo de linha em janeiro de 2002 restou apenas a Ford F250 no segmento de picapes grandes.

A Ford F250 foi a última picape americana fabricada no Brasil

A então Daimler-Chrysler, hoje Stellantis, tomou uma decisão ousada de importar a Dodge Ram 2500 para o Brasil. A picape vinha em uma configuração maior que a da F250 e com interior mais equipado, saindo da imagem de veículo de trabalho. O sucesso não foi estrondoso, mas foi o suficiente para mantê-la em linha.

As picapes americanas estão voltando ao Brasil

No final de 2020, a Ram anunciou a vinda do modelo 1500 Rebel, equipada com motor V8 a gasolina. O primeiro lote da picape esgotou em menos de 24 horas, mesmo sem vir com o motor diesel que os brasileiros amam tanto nesse tipo de veículo.

A Ram 3500 já está confirmada para o Brasil

Agora foi a vez da irmã maior da nossa conhecida Ram 2500 ser confirmada para o Brasil, o modelo 3500. Essa picape gigante utiliza rodagem dupla no eixo traseiro, algo que estamos acostumados a ver em veículos comerciais.

A Ford F150 já é vendida na Argentina com motor 5.0 V8 e pode chegar em breve

A Ford e a Chevrolet não confirmam, mas elas podem estar prestes a anunciar picapes grandes americanas no Brasil. A Chevrolet Silverado 1500 já é vendida em países da América do Sul como o Chile, Paraguai e Uruguai; já a F150 pode ser encontrada na Argentina, Uruguai e Paraguai.

Os nossos vizinhos do Uruguai podem comprar uma Silverado 1500 com motor 3.0 diesel de forma oficial

A alta do agronegócio, popularidade do estilo de vida rural e até as músicas sertanejas influenciam no interesse por essas picapes americanas. Muitos as chamam de “picapes de verdade” por serem grandes e imponentes quando comparadas com as picapes médias.

Picapes americanas têm uso diferente do que estamos acostumados

Historicamente, as picapes grandes se popularizaram em zonas rurais. As antigas caminhonetes Ford e Chevrolet auxiliavam fazendeiros em regiões longe do asfalto, mesmo sem ter tração 4×4. Por isso o brasileiro prioriza a capacidade de carga nesses veículos.

Os picapeiros brasileiros priorizam a capacidade de carga na caçamba

Com a legislação permitindo os motores diesel em caminhonetes com capacidade de carga acima de 1.000 kg, os fabricantes aumentaram a capacidade de carga das picapes americanas feitas no Brasil. As picapes médias japonesas conquistaram o Brasil rapidamente por lidarem bem com grandes cargas na caçamba e também pela confiabilidade.

Por anos o habitat das caminhonetes no Brasil era o interior

Capacidade de reboque é quem manda

Enquanto isso nos EUA, as picapes ganharam mercado pela capacidade de reboque. Os tradicionais sedãs e peruas com chassi separado da carroceria eram bastante usados para rebocar, mas com as leis de emissões estrangulando os motores V8 desses carros, os consumidores migraram para as picapes e SUV grandes.

As picapes maiores são feitas para rebocar trailers através de uma quinta roda, igual aos caminhões

A legislação de trânsito atual dos EUA torna praticamente impossível para que um carro de passeio seja homologado para puxar reboques, prática comum na Europa até hoje. Por isso temos hoje picapes americanas que possuem capacidade de carga inferior a de modelos compactos brasileiros.

A Ford F450 é hoje a picape americana com a maior capacidade de reboque. Ela é capaz de tracionar quase 17 toneladas

Na Ram 1500 a capacidade de carga é de apenas 610 kg, mas a capacidade de reboque é de 5.062 kg. A Ram é por enquanto a única da categoria também a oferecer molas helicoidais no eixo traseiro, tendo uma suspensão a ar como opcional (nos EUA), mostrando que o foco é rebocar trailers no asfalto com conforto e estabilidade.

Conheça a Ram 1500 em detalhes na avaliação Autopapo:

Tecnologia é aliada das picapes

Nas categorias acima a capacidade de reboque dessas picapes é ainda maior, com a Ford F450 capaz de puxar quase 17 toneladas. Isso é resultado de uma guerra publicitária que está acontecendo nas últimas décadas nos EUA, onde todo fabricante quer ostentar o título de maior capacidade de reboque da categoria.

Junto dessa briga existe uma paralela sobre qual fabricante oferece mais equipamentos para ajudar nessa tarefa: modulação eletrônica dos freios do reboque, controle de estabilidade com calibração específica e câmera de ré que torna o trailer “invisível” são algumas das tecnologias que nasceram dessa competição.

Fora de estrada não é o forte dessas picapes, mas existem versões específicas para essa proposta

E diferente do brasileiro, que exige tração 4×4, as picapes 4×2 ainda são populares nos EUA por usuários que moram em regiões onde não neva. Os interessados por usar a caminhonete em trilhas procuram modelos específicos para isso como a Ford F150 Raptor, a Ram 2500 Power Wagon ou a Chevrolet Silverado TrailBoss.

Entenda as categorias

Caminhonetes e caminhões são classificados em classes que vão de 1 a 8 nos EUA, divididas pelo peso bruto total (PBT). Os veículos até a categoria 6 podem ser dirigidos com carteira de habilitação comum, com a habilitação de uso comercial (equivalente a CNH E brasileira) sendo exigida apenas para as classes 7 e 8.

A Classe 1 engloba as nossas conhecidas picapes médias, com PBT de até 2.722 kg; A Classe 2a é a da Ford F150, Ram 1500 e Silverado 1500, com PBT de até 3.856 kg; Acima vem a classe 2b, da Ram 2500, F250 e Silverado 2500, com PBT até 4.536  kg. A classe 3 é a última com picapes, englobando as Ford F350 e F450, Silverado 3500 e Ram 3500, com PBT de até 6.350 kg.

As classes 4, 5, 6 e 7 já são caminhões feitos para receber implementos como baú ou carga seca. Por fim existe a classe 8, com cavalos mecânicos.

Os números – como 1500, 2500 e 3500 usados pela Ram – são herança de classificações antigas das picapes. Esses números representavam a capacidade de carga das picapes em libras, ou seja, uma Ford F100 era homologada para 453 kg (1.000 libras), já a Chevrolet C20 era homologada para 907 kg (2.000 libras).

Essa regra caiu em desuso com a evolução das caminhonetes e também com as diferentes opções de capacidade de carga que cada modelo oferecia. Mas os números foram mantidos pela facilidade de identificar a categoria de cada modelo.

Le Salon de Detroit, le dernier en hiver

Le 16 janvier 2019

Il y a presque exactement trente ans de cela, je prenais le train pour me rendre, seul, à Windsor en Ontario. Mon but? Traverser la rivière et passer deux jours à la toute première édition Internationale du Salon de l’auto de Detroit, le tout premier North American International Auto Show. À ma connaissance, il n’y avait que moi du Québec avec mon ami d’alors (le défunt) Jacques Rainville. C’était l’année des grands dévoilements incluant celui du prototype de la Dodge Viper! Le reste, bien entendu, c’est, comme on dit, de l’histoire.

Au moment d’écrire ces lignes, je reviens de la 30e édition du Salon de Detroit, la dernière qui se sera passée en hiver. Le Salon sera de retour en 2020 mais au mois de juin sous la forme d’un grand happening. Et comme si j’avais voulu célébrer l’Évènement, je me suis rendu en train à Windsor (j’ai vécu trop de problèmes avec la neige et la météo hivernale au cours des dernières années que plus jamais je ne voulais y aller en avion et encore moins en voiture). Et pour me remémorer la première fois, j’y ai passé une soirée avec mon grand ami Walter McCall qui, il y a trente ans, m’avait accueilli à la gare de Windsor où il demeurait et où il travaillait en tant que directeur des Relations publiques chez Chrysler Canada. Rendu à 80 ans, ce diable de petit homme est toujours actif car il publie un ou deux livres par année sur les camions de pompier (vous pourriez en vérifier les titres sur Internet). Il est à composer actuellement un volume sur le service des incendies de la ville de Windsor.

J’ai donc participé à cette première journée de presse du Salon de Detroit, la seule où il y aurait des dévoilements de nouvelles voitures. Depuis des années que la qualité de ce Salon décline mais cette fois, ce fut sans contredit la pire. C’est comme si les grands constructeurs locaux avaient décidé de bouder le Salon de leur propre ville au profit de ceux de Los Angeles et peut-être même New York. Toutefois, pour l’amateur de technologie, il fallait être à ce Salon de Detroit pour y voir ce qui s’en vient au cours des prochaines années…presque un voyage dans le futur…presque!

Voici donc un court relevé de ce que j’ai pu voir au Salon de Detroit, le North American International Auto Show (qui fut aussi boudé, comme bien d’autres salons internationaux, par les constructeurs allemands comme Mercedes, BMW et Porsche et par quelques autres grands noms comme Mini, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda et autres!)

Cadillac a profité du Salon de Detroit pour y dévoiler (la veille de la journée de presse) son nouveau grand VUM, le XT6 et pour y annoncer que la marque sera le fer de lance de General Motors en matière de véhicules électriques, (Photo Éric Descarries)

Ford a ouvert le bal de la journée en lançant sa nouvelle génération d’Explorer tant en version Interceptor de police qu’en version hybride ou encore en version de performance ST mue par un V6 de 3,0 litres à double turbocompresseur de quelques 400 chevaux. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Ford a aussi fait le bonheur des amateurs de performance en dévoilant la version 500 GT de sa Mustang Shelby. Son V8 suralimenté de 5,2 litres fait plus de 700 chevaux et il vient avec une boîte à double embrayage. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Les amateurs de camionnettes ont été bien servis par FCA qui a profité de ce Salon pour nous faire connaître la version Heavy Duty de ses nouveaux Ram 2500 et 3500. Si le moteur de base de ces pick-up traditionnels demeure le V8 Hemi à essence de 6,4 litres, le moteur turbodiesel optionnel Cummins de 6,7 litres développe désormais quelque 1000 livres de couple ce qui fait du Ram Heavy Duty le plus puissant pick-up de sa catégorie avec une capacité de remorquage de plus de 35 000 livres! Incidemment, l’impressionnante version Power Wagon (2500 à essence) est de retour! (Photo Éric Descarries)

La légendaire Supra de Toyota a été officiellement lancée au Salon de Detroit. Développée conjointement avec BMW, le superbe coupé sportif a aussi été montré aux côtés des versions de compétition et NASCAR (Xfinity). Dans le cas de cette dernière, sa carrosserie ne ressemble pas du tout à celle de la Supra de production, surtout de l’arrière… (Photo Éric Descarries)

Quant au constructeur allemand Volkswagen (probablement le seul de cette origine européenne sur place), c’était à son tour de dévoiler une nouvelle auto, soit la grande Passat redessinée pour 2020. En même temps VW annonçait la construction d’une deuxième usine aux États- Unis juste avant de confirmer son alliance avec Ford. Ce dernier aidera VW dans le développement et la construction de pick-up intermédiaires alors que l’Allemand apportera son support au géant américain pour les plateformes de voitures électriques. (Photo Éric Descarries)

On pouvait voir au stand Nissan une étude de style (une denrée très rare au Salon de Detroit de 2019) qui nous indique quelle direction le constructeur japonais compte prendre au cours des prochaines années. Ce véhicule électrique baptisé IMs est en fait une berline aux airs plutôt sportifs.(Photo Éric Descarries)

Chez Kia, on procédait au lancement du VUS intermédiaire Telluride basé, en grande partie, sur son cousin, le Palisades de Hyundai. Mû par un V6 de 3,8 litres, le Telluride affiche une ligne légèrement plus robuste que le Palisades et le constructeur le démontrait en offrant aux visiteurs une courte ballade en circuit hors-route dans le salon même ! (Photo Éric Descarries)

D’autre part, chez Hyundai, c’était au tour de l’excitante Elantra GT de se montrer en version de production de finition N. Ainsi, le constructeur sud-coréen compte se lancer, à son tour, dans des versions de performance de certaines de ses autos aux aptitudes un peu plus sportives. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Chez Lexus, pas de surprise sauf un prototype cabriolet du coupé sport de luxe RC de la marque qui sera également offert en version de performance F Sport. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Enfin, c’était le retour du constructeur chinois GAC avec ses nombreux VUS et sa fourgonnette qui annonçait ses premiers pas en Amérique du Nord. Il était question de ses premiers bureaux en Californie en plus d’une étude de style d’un VUS Voilà une annonce qu’il ne faudra pas prendre à la légère… (Photo Éric Descarries)

Je ne peux passer sous silence la présentation de l’étude de style QX Inspiration d’Infiniti que j’ai malheureusement manqué. Mais ce n’était pas de ma faute! En effet, le véhicule, semble-t-il, n’a pu démarrer et Infiniti a décidé d’annuler sa présentation sur les autos électriques. J’ai dû quitter le Salon pour retourner à mon hôtel. L’auto a finalement été présentée et plus encore, elle a gagné les mérites de Meilleure étude de style et de Plus bel intérieur du Salon. Mais c’était un peu trop tard. La foule n’y était plus! (Photo Infiniti)

Oh! N’oublions pas de mentionner la présence du constructeur indien Mahindra au Salon de Detroit. Celui-ci y avait un stand intéressant où l’on pouvait voir le fameux Roxor, une sorte de réplique de Jeep des premières générations mue par un petit quatre cylindres diesel. Capable d’une vitesse maximale de 45 m/h,  ce sympathique petit véhicule ne peut légalement pas rouler sur nos routes. Il s’agit là d’une sorte de petit VTT côte-à-côte amusant. Il y avait aussi au stand Mahindra une petite fourgonnette (?) commercialisée qu’en Inde (mue par un quatre cylindres diesel et reposant sur un châssis-cadre rigide), la Marazzo, qui pouvait y justifier sa présence car elle a été développée aux studios de la compagnie au Michigan! (Photos Éric Descarries)

Au cas où cela vous intéresserait, juste avant l’ouverture du Salon, l’association des journalistes nord-américains a dévoilé ses prix pour les Auto, VUS et Camionnette de l’année. Le Grand Prix, celui de l’auto, a été à la Genesis G70, celui du VUS au Hyundai Kona et celui de la camionnette au Ram 1500…J’approuve…

Patrick Danielson, directeur des Relations publiques pour Hyundai Canada était très fier du succès de Genesis et de Hyundai à cet évènement. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Le Canadien Reid Bigland, directeur de la marque Ram et président de FCA Canada ne cachait pas sa fierté suite au succès du Ram 1500. (Photo Éric Descarries)

For 2020, the Ram HD gets a Night Edition that features darkened style elements such as 20-inch wheels. Active track control is now available at all finishes as well as blind spot monitors, and a new tire pressure monitoring system for trailers is included. There are also two new paint colors, and a 50-liter fuel tank is now standard on models of the longer-legged 8-foot cabin.

2020 Ram 2500 Design

The 2020 Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty smooth its big-rig look with better results than the smaller 1500. It’s the right balance of muscle and sophistication in the right trim. Almost every finish of the Ram Heavy Duty looks like a completely different track, from the plastic-and-steel-finished Dealer to the chrome-heavy Limited model. The venerable Power Wagon takes style art from the less capable Rebel 1500, with its large plastic grille, upholstery and two-tone paint.

2020 Dodge RAM 2500 Power Wagon

Inside, the big Ram HD is almost indistinguishable from the smaller 1500, which is a wonderful thing. It’s our favorite truck interior and offers an expensive view at the top of the range, including semi-aniline leather and real wood and metal accents.

In the cabin, the active noise cancellation and sound-proofing material creates a quieter atmosphere, even at full acceleration and with great trailer views. Even in basic craftsmanship, the Ram impresses in terms of fit and finish, and the leading Laramie Longhorn and Limited models feature fine materials such as semi-aniline leather, real wood and real metal accents that do not look in a luxury car.

In terms of bed access, Ram offers a deployable staircase mounted behind the truck, which swings out, but it’s not nearly as useful or innovative as competing model solutions. LED lighting, a spray lining and the branded Rambox suspension system make the bed more usable if you at least have access to it.

2020 Ram 2500 Engine

By default, the Ram HD gets a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 with 410 horsepower and 429 pounds of torque. With the cylinder deactivated, this large power plant can shut down four cylinders under light loads to save fuel. Rear-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is optional, and all gas-powered Ram HDs come with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Buyers have the option of choosing two different Cummins 6.7-liter turbo diesel inline 6 engines, the less powerful being the 370 hp and 850 pounds of torque. It’s a serious grunt, but an upgraded engine pushes the numbers up to 400hp and a full 1,000 pounds. Both liters of diesel use 6-speed automatic transmissions, the more powerful engine gets a butter gearbox.

2020 Ram 2500 Safety

The Ram Heavy Duty range in 2020 is not judged for crash tests, but does offer some active safety features as options. With six airbags, stability control, fixed-grip control, anti-lock brakes and a rear-view camera as standard, the Ram HD series doesn’t push the envelope in terms of safety technology. Desirable passive and active safety features such as a load and surrounding camera system, blind spot monitors, forward collision warnings with automatic emergency braking, parking sensors and active lane control are all available throughout the range or top cutout exclusively.

2020 Dodge Strength Wagon Design, Interior Review

New Post has been published on https://www.dodgetrend.com/2020-dodge-strength-wagon-design-interior-review/

2020 Dodge Strength Wagon Design, Interior Review

2020 Dodge Strength Wagon Design, Interior Review – Through the latest studies, 2020 Strength Wagon will include the same as the 2017 calendar year version. This is one of the lengthiest-residing nameplates in Us automobile industry. It appeared in the past at the beginning of 40’s. For starters, it is really a neutral design. Nevertheless, the business extra this brand towards the company’s very best-identified vehicle referred to as Ram memory. With this design, Power Wagon is really because 1981, and it nonetheless runs.

It is a specific edition of Ram’s durable 2500 van. Because firm readies an overhaul for the upcoming season, it can be an essentially past question that is approaching technology of heavy duty model, without doubt, will never show up just before 2020. So, 2020 Dodge Power Wagon can come virtually unaffected, while new edition depending on the re-designed version could progressively appear because of the 2019 season model.

Outside And Inside

2020 Dodge Strength Wagon top sights we mentioned previously, 2020 Avoid Potential Wagon must come unaffected. This design has rejuvenated before about 2 years ago. So, you may guess that clients are resistant to help with making adjustments perfect before staying competing redesign. This hefty-obligation van can keep the identical functions.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Pickup Finally Arrives: Here Are the Official Details

With Jeep having previously confirmed that it is calling its new pickup truck the Gladiator, you’ve by now heard (or made) all the references to Peter Graves’s toss-away line in “Airplane”—“Joey, do you like trucks called the Gladiator?”—and resolved yourself to the brand’s rationale for resurrecting the name. There was, says Jeep design chief Mark Allen, “a little bit of reluctance to call it a Wrangler truck.” Indeed, Jeep has a history of separate nameplates for its pickups, including Gladiator, Scrambler (which had been rumored to get the nod), and Comanche. Gladiator traces back to the 1962–71 Wagoneer-based truck, was used on a 2005 concept, and as a production model has now made its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show ahead of a second-quarter 2019 market launch.

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator shares its body from the C-pillar forward with the Wrangler Unlimited, but not all of its underpinnings. While the pickup truck’s front suspension is identical to the Wrangler’s solid front axle with coil springs, the rear has a five-link coil-spring setup in place of trailing arms, with two upper and two lower forged steel control arms for longitudinal control, and a track bar for lateral control of the axle. The control arms are located under the frame rails, and the rear shocks are forward facing for more consistent damping, Jeep says. The rear suspension design is borrowed from the new Ram 1500 pickup, which has a wheelbase 3.2 inches longer than the Gladiator’s. For its part, Jeep says the Gladiator’s frame is unique to the model.

At 218.0 inches long, the truck is 29.6 inches longer than the Unlimited, which itself is 19.6 inches longer than the two-door JL Wrangler. The Gladiator’s wheelbase gets 19.4 of those additional inches, standing at 137.3 inches.

The five-foot pickup box will be available with a spray-in bedliner, as well as a soft, roll-up tonneau with a small slit in back so you can slip in a 2×4 without fussing with it. There are aluminum extrusions with cleats for tie-downs, in-bed LED lighting and an optional 115-volt power outlet. The spare tire has been moved underneath, and there’s room for aftermarket 37-inch tires, if you want to replace the factory 35s. Jeep considers the Gladiator a “lifestyle” pickup truck good for hauling motorcycles, bicycles, and kayaks rather than for hitting the work sites. It surely will handle hauling extra gear on your next Moab expedition.

Most of the interior layout is the same, at least from the front seats forward. The rear-seat bottom cushion can flip up as in most other pickups, and it sports removable locking storage bins under the cushion. As seen in many current pickups, the Gladiator will have a three-piece rear window with a power-operated middle pane that will slide to the driver’s side.

The Jeep Gladiator will be available with either of the Wrangler Unlimited’s two roof options. The body-color hardtop features removable “Freedom Panels” over the front seats, while the cloth soft top can open all the way, four-door-convertible style. In the case of either top, the Gladiator’s doors can be removed with a hand tool, and the windshield can be folded down. With the soft-top option, the Jeep Gladiator becomes the first factory convertible pickup truck we can remember since the Dodge Dakota ragtop of the ’80s.

Elsewhere, the mesh of the Gladiator’s seven-slot grille is slightly larger to deliver more cooling air to the engine due to the demands of pickup-truck towing and hauling. But even parked side-by-side, it’s hard to distinguish the Gladiator’s grille from the Wrangler’s.

The ’20 Gladiator launches with the gas-fueled 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, rated for 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft and hooked up to your choice of an eight-speed automatic or—good news, purists!—a six-speed manual transmission, a rarity these days even among mid-size pickups. In the 2020 calendar year, Jeep will add its 3.0-liter diesel V-6, and it will deliver 260 horses and 442 lb-ft. It will be available only with a six-speed automatic. Jeep has no plans to add the 48-volt, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine from the Wrangler lineup to the Gladiator’s.

Perhaps even bigger news in the powertrain department is the addition of an Off-Road Plus setting for the driver-adjustable four-wheel-drive system. This allows higher vehicle speeds with the rear locker engaged, Allen says, and you can bet this feature will migrate to the Wrangler lineup, likely by the ’20 model year. While Allen declined to comment on the possibility, Off-Road Plus already has us thinking of a future where even more high-speed capability sees Jeep battling the Ford F-150 Raptor and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 with potential high-performance versions of the Gladiator and Wrangler.

Maximum towing is 7,650 pounds for the Gladiator Sport S, some 500 higher than the max for a Wrangler Unlimited. Jeep has shaken up the trim levels from what’s available in the Wrangler models. Like the Wrangler and Unlimited, the ’20 Gladiator starts with Sport and then moves to Sport S, but an Overland trim level displaces the Sahara. Rubicon is the top trim level here, as it is on the Wrangler.

The marque’s first pickup truck since the XJ Cherokee–based 1992 Comanche arrives in the second quarter of next year with specs that should satisfy the brand faithful. But is there perhaps another reason Jeep is using a model name last affixed to a version of the Wagoneer? Perhaps because the next eagerly anticipated model from Fiat Chrysler’s off-road brand is a reborn Wagoneer, which will also be built on a version of the platform used for the Ram 1500 pickup truck.

Future Cars: FCA’s Next Five Years

Sergio Marchionne has rolled out his third five-year plan for FCA, and with it a torrent of teases of vehicles the automaker plans to have on the market by 2022. Not all may make it. With nascent trade wars and the rise of populist nationalism threatening the intricate supply lines of the world’s most globalized industry, FCA, like other automakers, is facing one of the most challenging business environments in decades. And with Marchionne planning on stepping down soon, his successor may wish to place his own stamp on FCA’s future product strategy.

Marchionne made it clear FCA’s product push over the next five years will center around four key brands: Jeep, Ram, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo. “These four are our global brands,” he said bluntly. “They account for about 80 percent of earnings.”

Chrysler, Dodge, and Fiat scarcely received mention during the day-long presentation. Virtually every reference to the 62,000 minivans FCA will supply to self-driving technology developer Waymo described them simply as Pacifica Hybrids; only Marchionne used the “C” word when talking about the Pacifica. Once.

Dodge wasn’t mentioned at all, until the post-presentation Q&A session, when someone asked the inevitable question. Marchionne’s response? “Dodge is a North American brand.” He also hinted that to save money future Dodge vehicles may be developed off a heavily re-engineered version of the current LX architecture rather than move to the premium Giorgio platform than underpins the Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV. Marchionne notes that while Chrysler will be a “people mover” brand, Dodge will be a performance-oriented brand.

Other nuggets: Marchionne said talk of major sales volume for the Fiat brand in North America is “a waste of time.” Along the way, he announced the Punto, a Golf-sized hatchback, is to be discontinued, and that Fiat’s focus will be switched to hybrid and BEV powertrains for the 500 family and Panda in a bid to give the brand a more premium position in Europe. The Fiat 500e will sit on a dedicated electric platform. And Maserati boss Tim Kuniskis gave credence to rumors of an all-electric Ferrari supercar when he announced all future Maserati powertrains—including the high-performance three-motor BEV—would be supplied by Maranello.

Here’s what FCA is planning for Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati over the next five years.

Here’s how much the automotive landscape is changing: Jeep boss Mike Manley never once used the term SUV during his presentation. To Manley, and the rest of the on-message FCA senior management team, Jeeps are UVs—utility vehicles.

Why the semantics? Jeep is working on two vehicles, one the size of a Cherokee and the other the size of a Renegade, that combine the all-wheel-drive traction and configurable interior of a conventional SUV with the handling and dynamics of a car. These “urban UVs” will also feature a low roofline and what Manley calls “command-of-the-road” ride height.

Other new Jeep models in the pipeline include an all-new model smaller than the Renegade, and the long-awaited Jeep midsize pickup truck, which, according to the rumor mill, will be called Scrambler and will arrive in April 2019. A three-row model will join the Grand Cherokee, a key move as 60 percent of that segment of the SUV market is three-row, Manley noted. Topping the expanded Jeep lineup and accompanying the Wagoneer will be the flagship Grand Wagoneer, which is expected to go on sale in the U.S. in 2020.

The Trailhawk (ultimate rock-crawling capability) and Trackhawk (ultimate on-road capability) variants of selected Jeep models have proven such sales successes that Jeep is introducing a third capability sub-brand, Deserthawk, that will be applied to Jeeps with high-speed off-road capability in sand. Manley expects Deserthawk models to comprise up to 10 percent of total Jeep sales, delivering a $5,000 to $10,000 increase in transaction price.

Jeep is also going electric, with eight PHEV models on sale in the U.S. by 2022. There will be two basic formats. Vehicles with front-mounted engines and all-wheel drive/rear-wheel drive, such as Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, will feature an e-motor mounted between the internal combustion engine and the transmission that will allow low range rock-crawling in pure EV mode. Vehicles built around a front-wheel drive architecture, such as the Renegade and Cherokee, will have a rear-mounted electric motor driving the rear wheels. Four BEV Jeeps will be available in China, including an all-electric version of the Grand Commander.

  RAM

FCA calls it “The Raptor Effect.” With options and extras, the average transaction price of Ford’s desert-racer spec F-150 is about $71,000, or a healthy $28,000 over the average F-150. What’s more, Raptor buyers are younger than the average F-150 buyer, and earn twice the median income. To FCA product planners, that’s the definition of a market opportunity. So it’s no surprise the Raptor-fighting TRX, previewed as a concept at the Texas State Fair, has been greenlit for production.

The TRX will be the halo model of the Ram 1500 lineup. There is no official word on powertrains, but sources are suggesting an entry-level model with about 520hp, while the top-line model could get a version of the 707 hp Hellcat V-8.

Also coming is an all-new Ram Heavy Duty, scheduled for launch in January 2019. The current truck is the oldest in the segment. FCA says the new model will offer a stronger diesel engine than any of its Ford or GM rivals.

The success of midsize pickups such as Chevy’s Colorado in the U.S. market has also been noted at FCA. But the midsize Ram pickup currently under development is also aimed at European, Asian, and South American markets, where the segment is booming. The midsize Ram will share its underpinnings with the similarly sized Jeep Scrambler, including the similar rear axle design, and the availability of a hybrid powertrain.

  ALFA ROMEO

“We underestimated the complexity of the industrial process, and we underestimated the reaction of our German competitors,” said Marchionne of Alfa Romeo, sales of which have been slower than expected. But FCA is doubling down on the storied Italian brand, with two new SUVs and two new sports cars—each reprising an iconic Alfa model name—joining the Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV by 2022.

The all-new Alfa Romeo 8C will be a 700-plus horsepower Acura NSX fighter, with a mid-mounted twin-turbo engine driving the rear wheels, and an e-motor driving the fronts. This Alfa supercar’s chassis will be made from carbon fiber, and FCA says we can expect scintillating performance, with a projected 0-60 mph acceleration time of less than 3 seconds.

The Alfa Romeo GTV is a four-passenger coupe that will share its chassis structure and powertrains with the Giulia sedan. It will have sleeker, sexier sheetmetal and 50/50 weight distribution. Top-spec QV versions will have all-wheel drive and more than 600 horsepower courtesy of an e-motor mounted between the engine and transmission.

In terms of ensuring the brand’s long-term viability, however, the two new SUVs—one smaller than the Stelvio, the other larger—will be the most critical vehicles Alfa Romeo launches in the next five years. While the midsize premium SUV segment in which the Stelvio competes is expected to grow from 1.6 million units sold last year to 2.2 million units by 2022, sales of compact and full-size premium SUVs are expected to grow to a total of 3 million units.

The smaller of the two Alfa SUVs will be the size of a Jeep Compass, and is likely to share its platform architecture, which means transverse-mounted engines. The larger SUV will be built on the plus-sized Giorgio architecture shared with the next-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both will be available with PHEV powertrains.

With three SUVs, two sports cars, the Giulia sedan, and a new front-wheel-drive Giulietta hatch for the European market, FCA aims to be selling 400,000 Alfa Romeos a year by 2022.

  MASERATI

Maserati’s lineup will be entirely renewed by 2022, led by a refreshed Ghibli sedan and a redesigned Levante SUV that will share its underpinnings with a redesigned Quattroporte sedan. The GranTurismo coupe and GranCabrio convertible will be replaced by coupe and convertible versions of the Alfieri, both of which will be built on a version of the Giorgio platform.

New to the Maserati lineup will be a Stelvio-sized SUV, which FCA hopes will help boost the brand’s overall sales to 100,000 vehicles a year by 2022.

Maserati will offer four BEV models, versions of the Quattroporte, Levante, and the Alfieri coupe and convertible, all marketed under the Maserati Blue label. The cars will feature three e-motors—one at the front axle, two at the rear—and all-wheel drive with active torque vectoring. Maserati boss Tim Kuniskis said the electric-powered version of the Alfieri coupe will have a top speed of close to 200 mph, and will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 2 seconds.

“Some think we’re targeting Porsche, and some think we’re targeting Tesla,” said Kuniskis. “We’re targeting both.”
