Jeep Gladiator Pickup Truck (JT) Spy Pics and Videos!

[PTaterz]

Sorry, I'm new here. How long is it that we have been waiting for the Jeep Wrangler Pick-Up? Too long. I was set to buy a Wrangler Sport this year. But, decided to wait until the 2018 's arrived as I thought the pick up would be offered. Looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer. Decided a nice little family car was needed on a lease (30 months) instead. By then all of the bugs should be worked out of the pick-ups and the new engines as well. Hoping anyway.

like many others i only can afford ONE truck + need it do some light hauling like a half ton! only houses have more than two doors so thats what i want, a med-small 2 door similar to a chevy colorado + i gotta say its extended cab looks good, not like others!! time will tell as well as cost!!!

Something no one else mentioned, but the spy pics are showing its using a JL front end. I guess this means that it most likely wont have its own specific front end like the Crew Chief Concept:

I don't remember (and can't find) where I read it but I remember reading an interview that this would be the last time that they would use this style of front clip on a concept. I don't know if they didn't want to give the wrong impression and then let them down when the truck ended up looking like a Wrangler or if they just thought that 3 concepts were enough but it shouldn't be a surprise that this is not going to be the truck face moving forward, despite what so many people would want to see. They may be leaving it for the aftermarket such as the one that was made by http://bawarrion.com/ although they don't show it in production. Here is the link to the article in JpFreek.

wow that Bawarrion front clip is $6500?!?!?! its cool, but not the price of a decent used TJ cool

that grill would set the pickup apart from reg jeeps, but anything different costs $$$$ + without a doubt few if any would buy aftermarket @ that cost!!!!

IMO this front end is flat-out hideous. It would be a deal breaker for me.

Hoping to start seeing more pics in this thread.

I hope that bed is not production. Look how narrow it is! The rear cab wraps around. Looks more like the crew chief rather than the brute.

 

[JeepinOutfitters]

That's the production bed. It's the same width as the body. Check out the photos on page 1 of this thread.

 

[ZMB KLR]

That bed certainly doesn't look like it's the width of the body in that above picture. The other pics show the black covering stretched over that area. In this pic it looks like the covers are hugging the body and wraps around the back of the cab.

I know there is the CAD drawing showing a full width bed, but that photo of an actual mule above does NOT show the side panel aligned flat with the doors.

That looks like both the crew chief AND the renegade concept, both with beds that are recessed.

 

[rodhotter]

many midsize pickups have the wheel wells protruding into the bed, the externals on the jeep allow better loading but prolly not 4' for hauling panelling, plywood, + wallboard. my 08 colorado is over 4' everywhere but the wheel area, but slots in the bed sidewall body work for 2X4's allow easy but shallow 4' wide items.

I’m just hoping this new Gladiator resembles the AEV Brute as much as possible.

All I can say is, you can't take a "school bus" like this the woods...I would rather this one http://blog.caranddriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/h-1497295417-626x382.jpg

I'm still not sure the bed that is on it is correct... But I would think the ones with the spare under the bed are at least close. If this is the case... It's got a big-ol' bootie and will have some departure issues. I'd almost prefer the spare stand vertical in the bed. Many will need relocated there due to size upgrades anyway.
