The Jeep Gladiator has been generating a lot of buzz ever since fans got a first glance of the concept model. Although Jeep is traditionally known for its rugged SUVs and off-road performance, there have been several pickups that have been a part of Jeep history. Learn about the history of the Jeep Gladiator as well as the other trucks that Jeep has produced throughout the years.
The Jeep Gladiator/J Series was in production from 1963-1987. The truck was initially designated as the “Gladiator,” but the name changed to J Series in the 1970s. In 1964, Jeep released a 133-hp, low-compression “economy” version of the original 230-cubic-inch inline-six.
The Jeep Gladiator concept first made its debut back in 2005 at the Detroit Auto Show. This concept Jeep truck featured an open-air canvas top, a 2.8L four-cylinder diesel engine, and an expandable truck bed. Jeep fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of a production model Jeep Gladiator, and now their wish has finally been granted with the debut of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator.
