Our First Drive of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Is Coming and We Can't Wait
Since its debut at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show, we’ve climbed in, out and around Jeep’s all-new pickup truck and we know there’s plenty to love about the 2020 Gladiator — but what’s it like behind the wheel? We can’t tell you yet.

We do know the new truck is based on the latest Wrangler model but is longer thanks to the 5-foot bed grafted to the back. Two powertrains are available: a standard 285-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine making 260 pounds-feet of torque — which will be the only engine at launch — and a 260-hp, turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine pumping out 442 pounds-feet of torque. Jeep says the diesel will be available in 2020. The gas engine comes with a six-speed manual transmission or an optional eight-speed automatic, while the diesel comes only with the automatic.
The wait for our drive impressions is nearly over, however, and we’ll tell all on March 31. Until then, check out the teaser video above.
