Whether you’re in the market for a pickup truck or just looking for a pickup truck to complement your Jeep, you can count on a Jeep for a satisfying ride. From the Wrangler to the Gladiator, from the Scrambler to the Grand Wagoneer, there is a Jeep truck for you. If you want to know more, read on! Below, we’ve outlined some of the key features of each of these trucks.
Jeep’s Wrangler pickup
Jeep has confirmed that it is working on a new Wrangler-based pickup truck. In a press release, the automaker mentions the pickup truck in passing. The media preview of the LA Auto Show starts on November 27th. The new Wrangler pickup is expected to arrive in showrooms in April 2019, after production starts at the end of 2018.
As with the Wrangler SUV, the pickup will feature a soft-top convertible roof. The roof is removable and will fold down manually, like the standard Wrangler SUV. The roof is another key selling point for the Wrangler pickup. It will also give it an edge over other pickups in the segment. This vehicle’s pickup capacity is still limited, but it still offers a great deal of flexibility.
Jeep’s Gladiator pickup
Despite its similarity to the Wrangler, Jeep’s Gladiator pickup truck will have a few unique differences. While both share a solid front axle and a short front overhang, the Gladiator’s wheelbase is significantly longer. In fact, the Gladiator’s wheelbase is between nine and eleven inches longer than rival pickup trucks. It is also a full nine inches longer than the Wrangler’s four-door counterpart. Among its other differences, the Gladiator’s Rubicon trim level has a 35-inch tire and a 33-inch spare tire.
A few of the Jeep Gladiator’s key differences from the competition can be found in the vehicle’s technology. For example, the Gladiator is equipped with a front-facing trail camera that shows the driver’s angle of approach and departure. The camera is also designed to assist the driver with off-road maneuverability, such as climbing over obstacles or fording water. While the Gladiator doesn’t get an overall safety rating, it has earned four stars for overall frontal crashworthiness. The Gladiator’s safety rating isn’t quite as high in side-impact and rollover crash tests, with the latter earning only three stars. Moreover, Jeep says that a 35-inch tire will fit in the Gladiator’s fenders without requiring any lift, and the frame rails are positioned far apart to accommodate the spare wheel.
Jeep’s Scrambler pickup
A new Jeep pickup truck is expected to make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Known as the Scrambler, the pickup truck will be based on the CJ-7. Production of this pickup is expected to begin in April 2019 in Toledo, Ohio. Currently, the Jeep lineup is all about utility vehicles. With this new pickup truck, the automaker could tap into the growing midsize pickup market.
The Scrambler features a new, updated look and familiar mechanicals. Its standard features include a gas tank skid plate, plastic fender flares, a vinyl hardtop, a power steering column, and a trailer hitch. Optional features include a chrome grille, halogen fog lamps, and an AM/FM stereo. The Laredo trim comes with a leather-wrapped passenger-assist bar, and a tan/black Cara-grain vinyl interior. There is even an optional hardtop, which can be stored behind the twin bucket seats.
Jeep’s Grand Wagoneer pickup
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a full-size SUV built on a pickup truck platform. It’s similar to other full-size SUVs, such as the Ford Expedition and the Chevy Tahoe, but has tweaks that make it better suited for work-truck duties and people-hauling. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is priced around $68,000, so it’s not for those looking to tow a boat or camp out.
The interior is luxurious, too, with stitched Nappa leather seating and onyx glass accents. It also features an optional four-wheel drive system. In the cabin, there are screens for every function, including those in the front passenger seat. The exterior of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer is also fitted with cameras and a night vision system, which adds a high-tech element to the vehicle.
Jeep’s Command-Trac 4×4 system
The Jeep Command-Trac 4×4 system was first introduced in the 1980s on the full-size Cherokee (XJ). It was equipped with a chain-driven aluminum transfer case that provided manual assist and ease in engaging 4WD. However, this system is limited to low-traction surfaces, so driving in this mode will cause excessive wear to the drivetrain and wheels. This four-wheel-drive system is most commonly used for extreme weather conditions, towing, and other off-road activities.
The Jeep Mojave is equipped with extra underbody protection like a front brush guard, skid plate, and step/sand slider side rails. It also has Falken Wildpeak 33-in all-terrain tires. This system also features a two-speed transfer case with a 2.72:1 gear ratio. It’s a reliable choice for rugged terrain and extreme weather. The Jeep Command-Trac 4×4 system provides impressive traction on slippery surfaces.
Jeep’s Command-Trac suspension
The Jeep Wrangler is capable of conquering the toughest off-road tracks. Its 75-year legacy of pioneering 4×4 systems is evident in its rock-crawling capability. The Wrangler is available with two four-wheel drive systems: Command-Trac on Sport and Sahara trim levels and Rock-Trac on Rubicon. The Jeep Wrangler features Selec-Trac full-time two-speed transfer case that continuously monitors the torque sent to the front and rear axles.
The first Command-Trac models were available in the 1980s. The transfer case used was the NP208. The drive modes are the same as those of the Dana 18 and 20 transfer cases. The drive modes are 2Hi PT, 4HI PT, and 4LO PT. The Command-Trac transfer case is not recommended for off-road use. In general, four-wheel drives are used for extreme weather conditions, towing, and other off-road activities.
