Highly anticipated by both Jeep and truck fans alike, the Gladiator combines the off-
road capability and feature-full platform of the Wrangler JL with the added utility and towing
capacity of a truck. With several powertrain options, including a turbodiesel in the works,
it seems Jeep has finally answered the call of many consumers who have long sought
after this unicorn of a production vehicle. While we’ve only seen the initial release models,
it won’t be long before the aftermarket begins to react to this new vehicle, likely showing
the same support in the form of parts, accessories and customizations that can be found
for any other Wrangler platform. There’s even a growing number of current modified-JL
owners who can’t wait to trade their one-year-old Jeep in for the new Gladiator. And while
very capable in stock form, we can’t wait to see a lifted Gladiator on a set of 1-ton axles
and 40-inch Trail Grapplers!
