As one of the most-anticipated vehicles of the year, the Gladiator hit the market running and has been selling like microbrew at a hipster convention. As a wonderful mashup of a Ram 1500 and a Jeep Wrangler, the Gladiator dominates the arena.
The 2020 Jeep Gladiator doesn’t lack for competition in the midsized off-pavement-ready truck arena, however, as the Trail Trek Tour has demonstrated. The Gladiator is, however, uniquely Jeep and much more than just a Wrangler with a bed on it. There are three basic flavors of Gladiator, the most off-road-ready version being the Rubicon. We’ve had a chance to drive a Sport and Overland too, finding them to be very capable trucks, but for going off the beaten path to make your own route, nothing bests the Rubicon name.
