The 2020 Gladiator sports an all-new model with a crew cab style, according to an Edmunds review. The Gladiator sports “rugged Jeep character and off-road prowess,” says the review, and is currently the only convertible truck you can buy. The 2020 Gladiator also offers a bigger back seat than other midsize pickups, an advantage when you’re hauling lots of people.

The Gladiator offers a 5-foot long pickup bed, comparable to the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado, according to an Auto Trader review. The Gladiator’s towing capacity of 7,650 pounds and 1600 pound maximum payload gives plenty of room to load up and haul all your gear too.

The Gladiator comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft torque, according to Kelly Blue Book. Or an 8-speed automatic transmission can be added. Coming soon will be a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6.

If you want that Jeep feeling when you’re offroading, the roof and doors come off, and the windshield folds down. But you won’t need to leave your gear behind — the Gladiator offers a removable Bluetooth speaker located behind the back seat. Pull it out and take it with you, wherever you roam!

The Jeep Gladiator is also highly customizable, says the Auto Trader review. Buyers can find plenty of after-market features like caps, camper tops and storage solutions to add on to and further personalize their Jeeps.

If you’re looking for the convenience of a pickup truck with the Jeep image, test drive the Gladiator today at any Earnhardt Auto Centers location!
