Nothing terribly wrong with Gladiator, but I thought Gladiator was cool as the model name. Gladiator seems kind of corny to me.

Still prefer our old Pioneer, and the name.

Just drop the Comanche component to the name, even though I never felt it to be derogatory ( same as Scout or Chief always thought they were complimentary ).

Or...

Crew Chief.
I like Crew Chief, but if they make a two door version it wouldn't make a lot of sense, since you cant fit a crew in a the 2 door. Might be a good sub model name for the 4 door.

The Gladiator was a CJ turned pickup truck (basically), the JT is a JL turned pickup truck. It makes the most sense.

The Gladiator was an entirely different fullsize truck lineup. While I love the Gladiator name, I feel like if it's ever brought back it should be on a true full size truck.

I was thinking about this one, not the pre-1972...

This looks like almost a full size truck. I wonder if its the same size as the 1500 or if it just looks that way in the photo. I honestly think Jeep could have a full line up vehicles that look just like the Wrangler:

Renegade - Compact SUV That Looks Like The JL Clay Model (mini Wrangler look)
Renegade Pickup - Like The One Shown At Easter Jeep Safari
Wrangler - Midsize SUV
Wrangler XL - Midsize 3rd Row Seating SUV
Gladiator - Midsize Pickup
Commander - Fullsize SUV thats based on the Gladiator Pickup
Gladiator - Fullsize Pickup

Nah, it's based on a JK.

The Jeep Rescue concept was build on a ram chassis and was a sweet full size Jeep example

Is this what the old Commander was based on?
Pretty sure this concept was from 2005... not really sure if it was the basis for the Commander... but could have influenced either that or the JKU as it preceded both
