Jeep recently announced the release of its very first pickup truck. While many Jeep enthusiasts are looking forward to the work capabilities the Gladiator will meet, its exceptional interior features and cargo capabilities also make it a great family vehicle. Check out a few of the most family-friendly features of the 2020 Gladiator.
Spacious and Comfortable Interior
Jeep has always done a great job at designing a comfortable and spacious interior and the 2020 Gladiator is no exception. The interior is trimmed with comfortable leather materials and foldable seats. The rear seats can be folded up to access additional storage with a securable storage bin.
The interior also comes equipped with technology features that will assist the busiest of families. Standard is a 5.0-inch Uconnect driver infotainment system but drivers can also upgrade to an available 8.4-inch screen. The driver can sync their smartphone to the infotainment system with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for customized music, hands-free text messaging and phone calls, and to pull up turn-by-turn navigation. Want to get out and explore your current location? Simply pop out the weatherproof Bluetooth speaker and take your music with you on the go.
Durable Truck Bed
The 2020 Jeep Gladiator truck bed can be used for both work and play. It can easily transition from hauling your work tools to bringing along your families’ camping accessories. The integrated tie-down loops will secure your cargo while the in-bed power up outlet feature gives you a charge when needed. You can also increase your cargo space by using the truck bed. Protect your truck bed contents with the available roll-up tonneau bed cover.
Reliable Power
You can choose from two available engines with the 2020 Jeep Gladiator. Standard is a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. A 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine with 260 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque is an optional upgrade. The standard engine is capable of managing everyday terrains while the upgraded diesel engine is recommended for more adventurous of families who enjoy off-roading.
Maximum payload is 1,600-pounds and the maximum towing capability is 7,650-pounds, which is ample enough for most recreational vehicles or boats. Gain control over your tow with the available integrated trailer brake feature. The rear back up camera lets you keep a close eye on your towable items.
Exceptional Safety
Safety is an important feature in a family vehicle. The 2020 Gladiator features both standard and available safety features that will keep you and your family safe. Available safety features include forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, rear park assist, and a rearview camera. Families who tow a lot will enjoy the trailer sway control feature which keeps your trailer right in its lane and assists with braking when towing at maximum weight.
With a comfortable interior, advanced safety features, and a durable and capable engine setup, the Jeep Gladiator is the adventure-ready family-friendly vehicle you need this year.
