Jeep Gladiator
The 2020 North American Truck of the Year continues to impress with exceptional off-road capability. It boasts Wrangler-like styling, pretty much the same cabin, and a choice of powerful V6 options including the 285-horsepower Pentastar gasoline engine and 260-horsepower EcoDiesel that serves up 442 pound-feet of torque. It’s only a matter of time before the Gladiator follows in the footsteps of the Wrangler and adds a 392 model with a 6.4-litre V8 producing 470 horsepower.
