Jeep® Drivers: Expect a Rugged Jeep Pickup in 2019

When you visit Fresno Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, you can expect to be helped by a sales team made up of skilled and knowledgeable car enthusiasts. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service, and part of delivering excellent customer service is remaining up to date on the latest industry news. So, it only makes sense why we were so excited to hear about the Jeep brand’s plans to release a pickup truck in 2020.

Named the Jeep Gladiator, this Jeep pickup truck is dramatically altering the Jeep family lineup. Jeep hasn’t developed a pickup truck since the 1992 Comanche, so its fair to say, Jeep fans everywhere were quite surprised by the new Jeep Gladiator. The 2020 Jeep Gladiator looks awfully similar to the latest iteration of the Jeep Wrangler, but with a five-foot truck bed attached. The Jeep Gladiator is expected to house a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine beneath the hood, giving drivers an impressive 218 horsepower and 260 lb-ft worth of torque to play with.

Jeep doesn’t plan to stop there either, as there are rumors that they’ll unveil a plug-in hybrid option in 2020 as well. The Jeep Gladiator will provide the same degree of impressive off-road capability that Jeep drivers have learned to expect, as well as a degree of towing capability that places it in line with competitors. It’s fair to say that the 2020 Jeep Gladiator is going to change what people expect out of the Jeep brand for the better.

While the Jeep Gladiator is still a long way out, you can test drive one of our many new and used cars in Fresno, CA as soon as today! Our team at Fresno Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM can set you up with a ride and put you behind the wheel of the vehicle that is a perfect fit for you.
