Jeep recently launched its Wrangler-based Gladiator 2020, and the internet is all over it. Tim Kuniskis, Head of Jeep brand, even claims it’s “the ultimate vehicle for any outdoor adventure” and we can’t disagree.
Here are five things you need to know about 2020 Gladiator Jeep:
1. What is it?
This will be the first pick-up truck by Jeep since the 1992 Comanche, which turned to be a big flop for the company. Jeep claims it to be the most capable midsize truck ever.
