The Gladiator is not an SUV in the accepted marketing sense of the term, but is there a vehicle that offers greater utility currently on the market? Based on the Wrangler, this pickup is the ultimate product offering utility and functionality. Its performance certainly follows in the tradition of the Wrangler, but its stretched wheelbase gives it a certain refinement that makes daily use more convivial. During the winter’s first big snowstorm, it’s hard to think of another vehicle we’d rather be at the wheel of than this one.

From our review:

“If you’ve driven a Wrangler recently, you’ll feel right at home in a Gladiator, which is heavily inspired by its SUV sibling. The presentation is a mix of streamlined purity and a vaguely retro vibe.”
