Review: 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
The Jeep Gladiator might look like just a Wrangler with a pickup bed attached, but it’s more than that. It combines elements which are quintessentially American—Jeep and pickup trucks—to the point that you could almost see the Stars and Stripes painted on its side. The combination is so perfect that it comes as a surprise that the last time Jeep came up with a pickup truck was around 30 years ago. With that, this one’s got a lot of reputation and expectation to live up to.

At the same time, they still can’t ignore the tight city streets where their new SUV was meant to be driven in.
