The Jeep brand announced today it is growing the Gladiator family with the addition of a Willys package for 2021. The Jeep Gladiator Willys builds on the truck’s entry-level Sport S trim level and adds a limited-slip differential, rock rails and 32-inch all-terrain tires. Gladiator Willys models also get some cosmetic additions in hood and ta

LOS ANGELES – When most automakers debut a vehicle at an auto show, they drive it out from behind a wall or a curtain into the display. Jeep Gladiator? Nope. That puppy came right in between the audience and climbed the three stairs up onto the stage. Possibility the most-anticipated new vehicle at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2020 Jeep Gla

As a part of the constant one-upmanship throughout the auto industry, there’s a burgeoning performance truck category – initiated several years ago by Ford’s trophy-truck-wannabe Raptor. It’s since been followed to a lesser degree by Chevy’s smaller Colorado ZR2 and Toyota’s Tacoma TRD Pro. I’ve driven each of those rigs off-road in various sett

SACRAMENTO, California – A few years ago, I did my first Jeep Jamboree – a fantastic family event for anyone with a Jeep who has ever thought of getting out of the mall parking lot and into the off-roader’s natural habitat. It was there, after watching a larger four-door Wrangler make a few extra attempts to fit between some tight trees on our trai

Jeep’s new Gladiator pickup takes one of the most recognizable vehicles on the market and makes one massive change to it. It’s the kind of change that can keep an executive up at night worrying about the customer’s reaction. So we sat down at the Los Angeles Auto show with FCA Head of Design Ralph Gilles to talk Gladiator, Easter eggs, owner involv

Jeep is going far out with a new overlander concept based on the Jeep Gladiator and the extra long range that its new diesel engine allows. This new concept is called the Farout and it takes inspiration from the Wayout Easter Jeep Safari concept that the brand showed off last year, making this a go-anywhere camper that will go even further on a

You might think the Jeep Gladiator won as the Best Mid-size Truck only because it’s new and novel, but that’s definitely not the case. It faced some very tough competition, and took the crown on its merits. Our jury of more than 20 expert automotive reviewers judged it against four other finalists that they voted to shortlist after considering e

It’s official: a diesel engine is available under the hood of the 2021 Jeep Gladiator pickup. A year after Jeep stuffed the 3.0L under the hood of the four-door Wrangler Unlimited it’s finally giving truck buyers the same option — but it won’t come cheap. Official pricing hasn’t been announced, but if the Wrangler is any indication the diese

Jeep has just announced three new trim levels of its most rugged models. The Wrangler and Gladiator get a new High Altitude model that adds larger wheels and premium features, while the Gladiator Mojave is the first Jeep to wear a Desert Rated badge in place of the Trail Rated badge we're used to seeing. The Mojave is a model designed for high-s

The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon stretches out the Wrangler’s looks and capabilities to deliver pickup utility with a familiar face. From behind the wheel, however, the differences are apparent – and might turn you off of parking one in your driveway. Styling: 9/10 I’m of two minds on the looks of the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I’d much rather see the

A few automakers hang their hat on their off-road abilities, and top among them is Jeep. As more and more trucks with off-road trims came out over the past few years, it became a no-brainer for Jeep to join the pickup truck market themselves. The Gladiator is a mid-size truck that takes the Jeep Wrangler’s iconic design and off-road capability an

The Ford Ranger and Jeep Gladiator are two new entries in the mid-size truck segment that stand in some rather significant shadows: The Ranger has to show off Ford’s trucking chops without stepping on the toes of its big brother F-150 – the best-seller that can do it all. The Gladiator, meanwhile, immediately calls to mind the Jeep Wrangler, an ico

Let’s be real: Most of the fine folks perusing the countless pages of the autoTRADER.ca marketplace looking at pickup trucks probably don’t actually need one. Maybe you’re one of them – and there’s nothing wrong with that. These days, they’re lifestyle vehicles more than anything else and make fewer compromises than ever before. And in that

Buying a small pickup truck used to be simple due to the limited options on the market. The Toyota Tacoma was the top pick for reliability and ruggedness, the Nissan Frontier for affordability, the Honda Ridgeline for practicality, and the Chevrolet Colorado or GMC Canyon if the others didn’t fit. But the segment has recently grown, with new entrie

We kicked off this feature in fine form for April with nine new and redesigned vehicles that included a trio of BMWs, the rebirth of the Chevrolet Blazer, and a very stylish Volvo station wagon. The month of May brings a smaller batch of five new arrivals to Canadian showrooms. They include a long-awaited Jeep, Kia’s latest electric vehicle and
