The Jeep Gladiator made a huge splash as a rookie in the midsize pickup segment. It sure is the most unique and capable truck in its class. Taking many design cues from the iconic Wrangler, and using the same cabin, the Gladiator can be had with one of these two engines: a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6 or a 3.0-litre diesel V6. Adventurers, take note: there’s a Mojave edition that specializes in dune racing.
