Of course, by expanding the brand Jeep just might open up new opportunities, garner greater market share and, low and behold, make more money. Therefore, it's safe to assure that something like the Gladiator will arrive in Chrysler Group showrooms in the near future. Hopefully the new pickup truck will embody a similar presence to this bold concept, and simultaneously attract new customers to the brand.
