A fearless man will never refuse a hardcore off-road vehicle, nor will he refuse a hardcore pickup truck. And when a car incorporates the dual personality of a hardcore off-road vehicle and a pickup truck, such a car will inevitably be loved by these men.
Recently, we learned that the Jeep brand will introduce a new model, this car has both hardcore off-road and pickup truck attributes, this car is the Jeep Gladiator, a pickup truck that is hard enough.
Why is this car hard enough?
When you see the look of this car, you're not going to contradict me. Because, no matter how it looks, it looks like a pickup version of Jeep Wrangler.
Its head is very much like the Jeep Wrangler, the classic Jeep seven-hole grille, the classic retro round headlights, the classic protruding wheel arches, the classic stout front bumper. Many of the classic elements actually come from the Jeep Wrangler.
And all along, the Jeep Wrangler has been the dream car of countless men, the life goal of those men who are not afraid of any challenge. Jeep Gladiator borrows heavily from the Wrangler's design, and the intention is quite obvious, that is, Jeep Gladiator must be hardcore.
In fact, in addition to looking like a Wrangler, the overall design style of the Jeep Gladiator is also hard enough, which can be seen from the square outline of its entire body. However, the Jeep Gladiator is one circle larger than the Wrangler, its car is more than 5.5 meters long, and the car is 1857mm high.
Of course, the biggest difference from the Wrangler in appearance is the pickup truck body of the Jeep Gladiator. As a pickup truck, the Jeep Gladiator has a considerable size cargo compartment, with a maximum width of 1240mm, a narrowest point of 1140mm, a depth of 1500mm, and a railing height of 460mm.
In terms of power, the Jeep Gladiator is not equipped with the current Wrangler's 2.0T power, but a 3.6L V6 naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 284 horsepower and a peak torque of 347Nm, matching the 8AT gearbox, with more confidence and smoother driving.
As a hardcore pickup, the Jeep Gladiator's off-road configuration is unquestionable, its front and rear suspensions are multi-link integral bridge, equipped with a COMMAND-TRAC four-wheel drive system, in line with the Wrangler Sahara. Coupled with the fact that the Jeep Gladiator also has a high ground clearance and a large approach/departure angle, this makes this pickup truck also have quite good off-road performance.
It is understood that the Jeep Gladiator Advance Edition will go on sale at 11:00 a.m. on April 15, and the national limit is limited to 500 units. It can be said that for domestic consumers, if they want to have this car that integrates the attributes of hardcore off-road and pickup trucks, they must also fight for hand speed.
