The Gladiator combines the styling and off-roading prowess of the Jeep Wrangler with a pickup truck bed. The result is a mid-sized pickup truck with a ton of practicality and unparalleled off-roading ability. The Gladiator remains mechanically very similar to the Wrangler it is based on; however, the longer wheelbase makes for a more stable vehicle on the highway, which in turn allows the Gladiator to work extremely well when towing. The main rivals include the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado. What gives the Gladiator a competitive advantage is the extreme versatility it offers with two engines, many unique trim options, doorless and roofless configurations, impressive hauling and towing prowess, and an off-road ready demeanor along with modern interior comfort and technology.
