“The all-new 2020 Jeep Gladiator earned its title of Best Family Pickup Truck with an exceptional blend of both pickup truck and Jeep attributes that offer functionality and versatility with clever storage solutions and a bed that offers even more utility,” said Daryl Killian, GAAMA president and host of The AutoNsider on News & Talk WAOK, an Atlanta-based Entercom radio station.

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator is available at four rugged, well-equipped, ready-for-anything trim levels — Sport, Sport S, Overland, and Rubicon. The standard 3.6-liter V6 paired to a six-speed manual transmission puts out 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

“All Gladiator models are Trail Rated with a badge indicating that the vehicle is designed to perform in a variety of challenging off-road conditions identified by five key consumer-oriented performance categories: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording,” reports FCA.
