2020 Jeep Gladiator Review: You Know You Want This Off-Roading Pickup
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 4x4 Jan-Feb 2020 - Lisle NY Town Hall - Route 79
What you see is what you get with the 2020 Jeep Gladiator: It has the soul of a Jeep Wrangler SUV, which means it goes off-road. It has a pickup bed, which means it goes to and from Home Depot. And it has four doors and two rows of seats which (along with the pickup bed) means it’s more than 18 feet long, so even if the Gladiator goes everywhere, you can’t park it just anywhere.
The Gladiator rides alright, tows up to 7,500 pounds, and has a decent drivetrain. But highway handling is not great, wind noise is noticeable, and you have step up almost two feet to get in.  The cheapest Gladiator is $35,0o0, and the Gladiator Rubicon meant for serious off-roading tops $62,000. But if you can choose to get one, you’ll have fun.
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 4×4 – a serious off-road Jeep with a 5-foot pickup bed.
30 Inches Longer than Jeep Wrangler
Jeep Wrangler SUV.
Jeep dates to World War II and the first General Purpose (GP, pronounced geepee and eventually jeep) light 4×4 utility, the first civilian Jeep (CJ) in 1945, and pickups produced 1947-1992. There was a 10-year gap until the first new Jeep pickup truck concept vehicle was shown briefly in 2003, with adaptations teased and reteased for 15 more years until the Gladiator pickup finally arrived last year, a gap of nearly 30 years. Too long.
Compared to the four-door Wrangler it is based on, the Gladiator is 30 inches longer overall, 218 inches vs. 188 inches, with a wheelbase 19 inches longer for a truly comfortable legroom in the rear seat. The Gladiator also tows more and costs more, but just $2,000 more comparing entry model to entry model. Both have easily-owner-removable doors and tops, which makes both fun crawling over boulders or sand dunes in good weather, and louder and sometimes harsh in day-to-day highway driving. No surprise there. Still, 75 mph on the highway in the Gladiator feels better than 55 mph did in a Jeep a generation ago.
  Center stack bristles with buttons and knobs. Lever on left controls four-wheel-drive. If you can’t find the electric window controls on the door, they’re here, in the very middle of the picture.
Jeep Gladiator On- and Off-Road
I test-drove the nearly top-of-the line Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 4X4, $62,020 including a healthy $1,495 freight fee from the Toledo, Ohio, factory. The Rubicon is the most serious off-roader in the line. To get in, you have to step up almost two feet. Don’t even think about wearing a skirt. (Damn. And here I am, stuck with this new leather mini – Ed)  The front windshield is essentially a flat piece of glass. The doors are rudimentary. The center console and stack bristle with controls for the four-wheel-drive system but if it’s initially confusing, just press the starter, pull back on the main shift lever, and off you go.
Around town the Gladiator drives reasonably well and you feel as if you’re sitting up high. (You are since it’s 75 inches high.) On the highway, the road and wind noise builds from the lack of sound insulation and the big, knobby 33-inch (diameter) tires on the Rubicon. The steering feels imprecise at speed, meaning you sometimes make repeated small adjustments to keep it centered in the lane. The bucket seats are pretty flat, and some adjustments are manual. The front left wheel well is so big, there’s no room for a driver footrest. On bad road surfaces, you feel the bumps, although there’s less pitching than on the Wrangler with its shorter wheelbase. The Gladiator uses the sophisticated coil spring suspension of the Ram 1500 pickup and that helps. Another nice touch is the damped tailgate that comes down smoothly, rather than banging open.
Off-ready tires on the Gladiator Rubicon.
Once you’re off paved roads, the Gladiator is in its elements. The Rubicon has 11 inches of ground clearance and fords 30-inch streams with the doors on. It has a 43-degree slope approach angle. The front breakover angle, the measure of how steep an angle you can approach without scraping anything, is 20 degrees. The rear departure angle is 26 degrees. Both are less than the Wrangler because of the longer Gladiator wheelbase and the pickup bed.
There’s nothing else like this among midsize pickups in terms of off-roading.  The Gladiator Rubicon employs a two-speed power transfer (between front and rear wheels), locking front and rear differential to improve traction, a disconnecting front sway bar (it raises off-road clearance), Dana 44 front and rear axles, and a 77.2:1 crawl ratio for low-speed travel. An Off-Road+ mode that modulates stablity control, throttle, and gear selection. In 4WD High, it’s dialed in for romping in sand; in 4WD Low, for traversing rocks and small logs.
All this from a 3.6-liter, 285-hp V6 engine and eight-speed automatic that gets to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds. A V6 diesel is coming, expected this calendar year; it’s down 26 hp versus the V6 but the 442 pound of torque tops the gas V6 by 70 percent. The EPA rates the gasoline Gladiator at 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined on regular fuel. The six-speed manual also offered is rating at 16/23/19. Expect the diesel to boost mpg by 2-3 mpg or about 10 percent. A Rubicon weighs a bit more than 5,000 pounds, about 500 pounds more than the competing Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro or Ford Ranger Lariat SuperCrew 4×4, 300lbs more than the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2.
Want to ride bareback (Ialmost)? Undo a couple bolts and each of the doors comes off in a few minutes. The top comes off and the windshield folds flat.
Jeep Gladiator Models
There are five Jeep Gladiator model variants, or trim lines. Altogether, there are enough options to make the top of the line loaded Gladiator approach twice the base price of the entry model.
Gladiator Sport, $35,040, including $1,495 freight. Four-wheel drive is standard, as is a six-speed manual, and reasonable 17-inch steel wheels with 245/75R17 all-season tires with all-terrain tires optional. Seating fabric is cloth. The UConnect 3 infotainment screen is a modest 5 inches diagonal, with eight speakers, and there is a remote USB port, but a bigger LCD is not an option, nor is Apple CarPlay or HD Radio. The instrument panel multi-information is a 3.5-inch monochrome LCD. Towing capacity with the better of two options packages is 7,650 pounds. A Torx toolkit is included to remove the doors in just a few minutes.  Skid plates, tow hooks, and a soft top are standard.
Gladiator Sport S, $38,240. The Sport S goes upscale a bit, with alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows, heated power mirrors, auto-on headlamps, keyless entry, and a security alarm. A optional 7-Inch Radio Group makes satellite radio
Upper trim lines include an AC jack, and it’s not an extra-charge option.
Gladiator Overland, $41,890.  It steps up to a 7-inch center stack display, UConnect 4, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and seven USB jacks. There are side steps, a 7-inch color multi-information display, 115-volt outlet, and garage opener. During 2019 production, this was the top end Gladiator focusing on comfort and smoother driving while still being able to match or beat most any all-wheel-drive vehicle off-road.
Gladiator Rubicon, $45,370. In addition to the serious off-roading features, it steps back down to 17-inch alloy wheels and offers optional driver assist features. Its top speed is governor-limited to 97 mph vs. 110 mph for other models.
Gladiator North Edition, $47,410. It’s the model for more comfortable cold weather driving. It has an 8.4-inch display with navigation, Alpine premium audio, cold weather group (remote start, heated seats, heated steering wheel), black hard top, and slush mats.
Gladiator Mohave, price TBA. Sold as a limited editon, it’s intended for higher speeds, up to 50 mph, in the low driving range. Most typically you’d be running sand dunes rather than creeping over rocks. It rides an inch higher than Rubicon and uses a different set of Fox shocks. The frame and suspension parts are even heavier duty to deal with a vehicle that might (correction: will, if you play hard) go airborne from time to time and land hard. The Max Tow towing package comes standard to get the more powerful cooling package. Pricing will be in line with the Rubicon-North Edition models, Jeep suggests.
The Gladiator comes with three or four serious tow hooks. The Gladiator Rubicon bumper is steel, allowing a winch to be added.
Options, Driver Assists Boost the Price
It’s the options that push the top Gladiator models into the sixties on pricing: higher-capacity tow package, LED Lighting Group, driver assist packages, a wireless Bluetooth speaker, forward-facing trail cam, three kinds of pickup bed covers, pickup bed cargo rails, premium alloy wheels, a modular hardtop (three pieces, separately removable), a hardtop liner for insulation, premium paints, premium audio, leather seats, and a winch-capable steel bumper. The eight-speed automatic raises the price by $2,000 alone.
Driver assists are options rather than standard. The Active Safety Group, $895, comprises blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors. The Adaptive Cruise Control / Forward Collision Warning Package, $795, is what the name says. ACC goes down to 0 mph but will return to speed; it holds the car stopped for 3 seconds then disengages.  Lane departure warning / lane keep assist are not offered, nor is pedestrian detection.
There are two front airbags and two side airbags, but no side air curtains.
Bill Murray reprised Groundhog Day, this time in a Jeep Gladiator, during Super Bowl 54.
Gladiator Vs. the Competition
The 2020 Jeep Gladiator competes with several midsize trucks, most of which have an off-road version. They are, in order of end-of-2019 sales: Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier, Jeep Gladiator, Honda Ridgeline, and GMC Canyon. The Gladiator sold 40,000 units in 2019, its first year, but didn’t reach full output and sales until the second half when it sold 33,000 units, the peak month being a bit over 6,000 in October. Sales may pick up in the wake of the the Super Bowl: The Bill Murray / Groundhog Day ad featuring the Gladiator was seen as the best ad of the game. In its first year, the Gladiator named a bunch of truck of the year awards including North American Truck of the Year from NACTOY.
If you just want to take a 4×4 pickup onto a dirt or gravel road with ruts and the occasional rock sticking up a bit, they’ll all get the job done. Others will be better at highway driving, smoother, and quieter. What the Gladiator offers is the Jeep aura, off-road abilities that go from good to great. For now you’ve got a very long vehicle with a roomy cockpit (front and back), and a shortish pickup bed. Jeep suggests other Gladiator size configurations will come.
This is definitely a car you want your partner or spouse to understand and appreciate before you sign the papers. See if you can test-drive it a couple miles on an interstate, not just local rounds. The Gladiator is no Jeep Grand Cherokee (upscale two-row SUV) if you want a smooth ride, quiet cockpit, and soft leather upholstery. And the Gladiator is one step ahead of the Grand Cherokee in going way-off-road, which Grand Cherokee in turn is one step ahead of most all other all-wheel-drive cars. Jeep understands unpaved roads and obstacles.
For serious off-roading, or if this is not your only car, the Gladiator Rubicon is the best choice. You’ll easily pay in the mid- to high-fifties on list price once you check the options you want, perhaps top $60,000.  A more cost-effective Gladiator is the Sport S with automatic transmission, hardtop and insulating liner, the two driver assist / safety packages, the 7-inch (LCD) radio group with CarPlay and Android Auto, the less costly trailer tow package, and a convenience group package required by one of the other options. That’s $43,165 before the incentives, so you might well wind up paying under $40K (see below).
(If you want the nicest all-round midsize pickup, that’s the Honda Ridgeline, the most car-like pickup. The Toyota Tacoma is another good choice. Toyota, Ford, Chevy and GMC make off-roading versions of their pickups.)
If you’ve shopped for a Jeep Gladiator over the past several months, you may know Jeep dealers were marking up the Gladiator, especially the Rubicon, by as much as $10,000, sometimes $20,000 (asking, if not getting) at mid-year when the Gladiator starting arriving in quantity. By year’s end, the markups were gone. Now, it’s Jeep that’s giving back money: a $2,000 incentive for virtually all buyers, $5,000 at many dealerships, and, says CarsDirect, as much as $9,000 in a few cases. Some incentives excluded the Rubicon.
The bottom line on the Jeep Gladiator is that it’s a little rough as a highway cruiser and many contractors / tradesmen want a bigger bed for hauling stuff, but it’s great off-roading, and it has character in droves.

[Watch Now] 2020 Toyota Tacoma : sports lots of new tech features at Chicago Auto Show

Having been very well redesigned for the 2016 model 12 months, the 2020 Tacoma enjoys barely extraordinary styling up front and a bevy of tech/consolation improvements. nearly every trim level of the 2020 Tacoma could be getting a new grille and set of wheels. it is a minor alternate, but perhaps they're working off the old mantra, "If it ain't broke, do not restore it." The Tacoma has been the top dealer inside the segment for 14 years strolling. a new infotainment system sits in the center of the dash now, with functionality for Apple CarPlay, Android car and even Amazon Alexa. The SR trim could have a seven-inch infotainment display screen, whilst SR5 trucks and above get the eight-inch unit. each new Tacoma (besides for guide transmission vehicles) will get an upgraded JBL audio gadget to go with the brand new screens. for your comfort, Toyota has added a power adjustable motive force seat to maximum grades of the Tacoma — they have been previously manual all round. if you choose the TRD game or above, you'll get keyless entry. LED headlights come wellknown on the luxury-oriented constrained, whilst the lamps are optional at the TRD recreation trim. Toyota introduced changes to the TRD pro for folks who want the final in off-road functionality, as properly. specific sequential LED/DRL headlamps appearance robust cool. You get different sixteen-inch wheels and black-insert hind lights, along side a new army inexperienced color option to round out the exterior. the ones new wheels are 4 kilos lighter than before, which precipitated tuning modifications to the Fox 2.5-inch internal pass shocks and springs. It probably might not imply a great deal out at the path, however it's always top to see development. The Tacoma is adding cameras to the off-roading enjoy, too, with its new Panoramic View screen and Multi Terrain reveal as wellknown features for the TRD seasoned. those structures consist of cameras to see the terrain around you from each angle. there's even a digital camera pointed down, so you can see the floor without delay below the truck. This need to optimistically save you any useless damage even as traversing thru rough terrain. all of the brought luxurious from the opposite trims just like the strength seat and infotainment comes fashionable at the TRD seasoned, as well. if you were questioning, the equal powertrains as before bring over to the refreshed truck. this indicates a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder making 159 horsepower and 180 pound-toes of torque is general. Our preference is the three.five-liter V6 with 278 horses and 265 pound-ft of torque. luckily, you could nevertheless pair the six-pace guide transmission with the V6. A six-speed automated is fashionable, otherwise. Toyota hasn't stated when the 2020 Tacoma will hit sellers, nor do we understand of any pricing changes. however, we assume the 2020 version yr truck both this summer season or fall. while it does cross on sale, the midsize truck marketplace could be a piece more crowded, with the Ford Ranger now for sale and the Jeep Gladiator on its manner SUBCRIBE NOW.. youtube.com/c/TopCarsChannel My Other Sites Facebook : http://bit.ly/2S33EwM GooGle plus : http://bit.ly/2Uz66Ib Twitter : https://twitter.com/Top_Cars1 Pinterest : http://bit.ly/2RZzevw Blogger : http://bit.ly/2UBSBI5 Instagram : http://bit.ly/2S2cISV Popular Vidio.

Sequoia Smash! The Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro Is Here
Twelve years into production, the Toyota Sequoia is starting to live up to its name. After all, the towering redwood trees aren’t exactly known for impermanence, with some sub-species carrying the weighty label of “living fossil.”
Much like its namesake, the Toyota Sequoia endures year after year. Sales remain steady, as most buyers value the Sequoia’s incredible reliability, body-on-frame construction and towing ability, and rugged off-road capability. For those focused on the latter trait, there’s good news on that front for 2020, as the Sequoia joins the popular TRD Pro lineup. It offers buyers even more trail-bashing robustness right out of the box.
Much like the other TRD Pros—Tacoma, 4Runner, and Tundra—the package has a complete suspension package from Fox. Up front, the 2.5-inch internal-bypass shocks pack seven compression zones and two rebound zones, increasing rebound travel by 0.7 inch. Around back, the 2.0-inch shocks feature pistons that are 0.6 inch larger than stock. There’s also a substantial TRD front skid plate to protect both the suspension pieces and the oil pan from errant boulders and wildlife that might get caught under the gargantuan front end.
Even if it won’t fit on all your favorite trails, the Sequoia does fit visually with the rest of the TRD Pro family. There’s a trim-specific grille, LED headlights, and Rigid Industries LED fog lights. The signature 18-inch BBS TRD wheels are standard with 275-width all-terrain tires. Running boards and a roof rack are standard. as well. Inside, you can’t miss the TRD Pro insignia stitched into the headrests and floor mats.
There’s nothing new under the hood, with the same 5.7-liter naturally-aspirated V-8 found in the rest of the lineup. The 381 horsepower on tap isn’t the strongest in the segment, but it’s reasonably torquey, with 401 lb-ft. The standard six-speed automatic transmission manages this thrust, sending it to all four wheels through Toyota’s Multi-Mode 4WD system with locking center differential. If you want to bring your toys to inhospitable places, the Sequoia will happily tow 7,100 pounds.
Toyota also updated the rest of the TRD Pro family, just in case the new Sequoia is too big or thirsty for your needs. Now, all four TRD Pros arrive with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay/Amazon Alexa integration, accessed through an 8.0-inch touchscreen—with the exception of the Sequoia, which offers only a 7.0-inch screen. Both the Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro feature premium JBL audio, the 4Runner adds two extra USB ports in the rear seat area, and the Tundra and 4Runner get keyless entry and ignition for 2020.
The Tacoma TRD Pro wears updated LED head- and foglamps, contrasting with black-insert taillamps and a different wheel design. There’s a new 10-way power adjustable seat on the driver’s side, along with smart-key functionality. More important, the Tacoma TRD Pro now has a panoramic camera and Multi-Terrain Monitor, offering passengers views to the front, side, or rear, as well as under the truck, so you can watch your driveline get mangled in real-time. For more on the 2020 Tacoma—the entire lineup has been refreshed—head here.

Ford Ranger “Raptor” Spied Again Hiding Special Chassis Bits
Ford might rule the full-size truck world in the United States, but it has a gap the size of a small pickup in its lineup. That’s about to change, as Ford announced that it is finally bringing back the Ranger, along with the super-hyped Bronco SUV, to the land of 50 states. Dearborn’s former sales monster will return to a revitalized segment to compete against new players like the Honda Ridgeline and renewed Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon (not to mention an old foe, the Toyota Tacoma).
Ford already is looking one level up to the Colorado ZR2 and the Tacoma TRD Pro, special off-road versions of the aforementioned. Our spy photographers have caught a beefier Ranger test vehicle in action, and its parts paint a picture that looks awfully similar to that of a shrunken F-150 Raptor.
This is not the first time we’ve seen a Ranger prototype with these bits, but this time the photographer got so close that the engineer minding the truck actually threatened to fight him (that’s not the first time a prototype driver has gotten testy, and surely won’t be the last).
As in those earlier photos, this Ranger wears thick, knobby 285/70R-17 BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA tires around blacked-out versions of the 17-inch cast aluminum wheels seen on the F-150 Raptor. It also was lifted higher, had wider fenders, sat on bigger shocks, and showed a resculpted nose. Interestingly, the underbody was covered to hide whatever Ford’s cooking up—skidplates for off-road protection? Long-travel suspension like that on the Raptor? –
Although we’re expecting the Ranger to debut with an EcoBoost four-cylinder and possibly a naturally aspirated V-6, there’s also a chance the Ranger would bring a diesel into the mix. According to our photographer, this prototype had the grumble of a diesel, which would help align it with the diesel-powered Colorado. Or it could simply be an engine from and for other markets around the world.
2019 Ford Ranger Raptor—or FX4 (Please Be a Mini-Raptor!)
2019 Ford Ranger Spied in the U.S.!
2019 Ford Ranger: Yes, It’s Returning!
Though we called this the Ranger “Raptor” in our headline, that name is more a placeholder until we get details about the real name; Ford could use the FX4 tag we’ve seen on some of Ford’s less-extreme off-road packages. Either way, we’re excited. This off-road Ranger will likely arrive shortly after the base car does in 2019 for the 2020 model year.

Ford Ranger “Raptor” Spied Again Hiding Special Chassis Bits
Ford might rule the full-size truck world in the United States, but it has a gap the size of a small pickup in its lineup. That’s about to change, as Ford announced that it is finally bringing back the Ranger, along with the super-hyped Bronco SUV, to the land of 50 states. Dearborn’s former sales monster will return to a revitalized segment to compete against new players like the Honda Ridgeline and renewed Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon (not to mention an old foe, the Toyota Tacoma).
Ford already is looking one level up to the Colorado ZR2 and the Tacoma TRD Pro, special off-road versions of the aforementioned. Our spy photographers have caught a beefier Ranger test vehicle in action, and its parts paint a picture that looks awfully similar to that of a shrunken F-150 Raptor.
This is not the first time we’ve seen a Ranger prototype with these bits, but this time the photographer got so close that the engineer minding the truck actually threatened to fight him (that’s not the first time a prototype driver has gotten testy, and surely won’t be the last).
As in those earlier photos, this Ranger wears thick, knobby 285/70R-17 BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA tires around blacked-out versions of the 17-inch cast aluminum wheels seen on the F-150 Raptor. It also was lifted higher, had wider fenders, sat on bigger shocks, and showed a resculpted nose. Interestingly, the underbody was covered to hide whatever Ford’s cooking up—skidplates for off-road protection? Long-travel suspension like that on the Raptor? –
Although we’re expecting the Ranger to debut with an EcoBoost four-cylinder and possibly a naturally aspirated V-6, there’s also a chance the Ranger would bring a diesel into the mix. According to our photographer, this prototype had the grumble of a diesel, which would help align it with the diesel-powered Colorado. Or it could simply be an engine from and for other markets around the world.
