7. Jeep Gladiator
Ever since the Gladiator Concept, Jeep fans have been highly vocal in demanding that Jeep produce a pickup version of their favorite SUV. Even some small, independent specialist shops did the conversion. But there was no factory model, at least until now. For 2019, Jeep prepared a new Gladiator truck with an all-new platform, engines, interior and overall design. Jeep enthusiasts around the world are excited. Now they can finally use their Wranglers for work and carrying cargo, instead of only for off-roading.
Jeep based the Gladiator on a longer Wrangler Unlimited chassis, creating the perfect off-road truck that Jeep enthusiast wished for decades. It is rugged yet still comfortable and comes with a wide range of features and equipment.
Why is it important? American as apple pie, Jeep finally offered its customers a proper pickup bed in the form of the Gladiator.
