2020 Jeep Gladiator vs 2020 Jeep Wrangler
Serving Fairfax, VA
The Jeep Gladiator is all-new for 2020. It is heavily based on the Wrangler's design, but the Gladiator is a pickup rather than an SUV. The Gladiator makes a triumphant return this year after a decades-long hiatus. The Gladiator returns with an all-new style and more amenities than ever before due to popular demand. From the front, the Gladiator looks very similar to the Wrangler. Both have Jeep's signature seven-slot grille, the bold Jeep logo, and the automaker's classic headlights. The Gladiator has an open-air truck bed in the back, while the Wrangler has the characteristic shape of a Jeep SUV. The 2020 Gladiator is the only convertible truck available for sale and has a more spacious interior than other pickups. The Moab trim of the Wrangler is no longer offered in 2020, but it is replaced by several special-edition trims and a new Altitude edition of the Sahara and Sport models. The powertrain lineup expands to include a new hybrid V6 engine this year. While the Gladiator is the first generation of its kind in 2020, the Wrangler belongs to the fourth generation dating back to 2018.
