2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport S

The 2020 Gladiator is Jeep's first pickup in decades, a mid-size truck that blends Wrangler off-road capability with a five-foot bed. It competes with the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Chevrolet Colorado, but none of them offer removable doors or a fold-down windshield. On the road the Gladiator feels more composed than the Wrangler, with a car-like ride that still tracks well over rough pavement. The Sport S is the base model in the Gladiator lineup, giving you the same 3.6L V6 and four-wheel drive as the Overland and Rubicon with fewer convenience features to keep the price down. Its 3.6L V6 makes 285 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed manual; expect 19 mpg combined with the manual, which is typical for a mid-size off-road truck. This trim skips the Overland's leather and the Rubicon's locking diffs but includes the same Command-Trac part-time 4x4 system, so it's just as capable on a trail once you upgrade the tires.
