Jeep Gladiator

Anyone been following this? Looks pretty cool to me. 4 door wrangler with a pickup bed that can tow 7600 lbs. Think this could check a lot of boxes for a lot of people.

been watching the various prototypes for a few years now. to the point I was looking at putting a 4-door wrangler body on a dodge 3/4 ton chassis and building a bed (actually was bidding on jeep bodies and dodge trucks on auction sites)...... the admiral said no more projects.

I think its pretty cool. I have a 06 LJ and love it. It would be awesome to get one of these if it was a 2 door. Not a big fan of the 4 door versions

Kind of like a Hummer pick-up?

Towing 7600 lbs...that's pretty good.

It is a Jeep, people will buy it that never put it in 4WD, like most other Jeeps these days. Most people buy 4wd vehicles now a days because of looks and not the utility aspect of them, which is why most of them have weak drive trains in them.

But it is cool looking and I am sure they will sell a lot of them.

4 door cummins 3/4 ton jeep would be so cool! I always say it's easier to beg forgiveness, right?

Man, don't get me started. I've been looking at surplus AM general Humvees for a while now, and the pickup would be the top of my list.
