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

Looks like a full size truck? Not sure I agree, however it is hard to tell in photos. That said I think the JT will be longer than this. This Gladiator concept is a extended cab with little jump seats in the back, and a suicide door. The JT will have 4 full size doors.

I am a bit nervous about the length. I guess I want to have my cake and eat it too. I need the 4 doors for the kids, and am really looking forward to pickup bed, but would like it not to loose all of its off-roading geometry. I think it will be ok, just a bit nervous, can’t wait to see one in person.

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 agree completely, but Our JKU is actually larger than our '67 M715 (Which is essentially a militarized Gladiator) and the JL is larger than a JK... I know the whole "mid-size/full-size" isn't really about physical size but rather capacity but it's interesting how small "full-sized" used to be. Heck, the M715 is a 5/4 ton truck! But I bet the JL-Gladiator is physically much larger.

Hahaha yup, I always look at my little J2000 sitting under a cover in the driveway, it's so tiny compared to a modern truck. I think in one of the spy photos of the Gladiatior it was pictured near a crew cab 1500 Silverado, and there wasn't a huge difference in size!
