'20 Jeep Gladiator - Repair Manuals Blog

The launch of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator provides midsize truck buyers with an exciting new choice to explore. The Gladiator is a four-door Wrangler Unlimited with a longer wheelbase and a 5-foot cargo bed in place of the standard cargo space. This Wrangler DNA is expected to provide the Gladiator with off-road capability that no other vehicle can match. The ’20 Jeep Gladiator is more expensive than its competitors and a less capable mover in some areas. Still, it can go off-road incredibly well, its top comes off, and it won’t be mistaken for anything other than a Jeep.

Overview of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator:

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator is offered in 6 trim levels:

Sport: Cloth bucket seats
Sport S: Leather-wrapped steering wheel
North Edition: Regular Unleaded V-6
Overland: Overland cloth bucket seats
Mojave: Regular Unleaded V-6
Rubicon: Rubicon cloth bucket seats

Performance and Fuel Economy

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator thrives off-road but falls short on the road. One glance at the 2020 Jeep Gladiator is enough. The 2020 Gladiator is a Wrangler with a bed, so it’s not surprising that it drives like one.

The Gladiator and Wrangler share a 285-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 engine. The V-6 performs best when paired with the optional 8-speed automatic gearbox. The combination produces decent acceleration, and the gearbox shifts fast and effectively via its eight ratios. The basic 6-speed manual transmission boasts long throws and a soft clutch, but the V-6’s limited low-end torque means drivers will have to change often.

Design, Comfort, and Quality

If you enjoy the appearance of the Wrangler, you’ll probably like the 2020 Jeep Gladiator. The 2020 Jeep Gladiator doesn’t attempt anything novel, which is OK with us. It’s a Wrangler in front and a practical pickup in back, kind of like the inverse of a mullet. If you park the rear half of the 2020 Gladiator behind a wall, even the most ardent Jeep fan will be able to tell it’s not a Wrangler by its symbol. The two Jeeps have a timeless appearance that includes a seven-slot grille flanked by round headlamps, massive fender flares that can be painted, and meaty tires on most models.

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator is roomy, but getting in is a considerable step. With one three-inch exception, the inside of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator is identical to that of the Wrangler. The pickup truck’s extended wheelbase provides additional rear-seat leg space, contributing to its significant utility increase. The 2020 Gladiator features small door apertures that are difficult to enter, and the front sitting area might be comfier. The low dashboard and upright windshield provide enough outward visibility for front-seat occupants, while the roof rails are hefty.

Safety Features of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator

The ’20 Jeep Gladiator provides you with the essentials and nothing more. Because of the retractable top, it lacks curtain-side airbags. There are just four airbags on board, among the fewest seen in any new automobile. Two different bundles of safety equipment are available. The initial version has rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitors, and LED taillights.
