2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
by Don Sikora II
Note: The following story was excerpted from the April 2020 issue of Collectible Automobile magazine.
Jeep began building pickups in 1947, but the streak ended when the Cherokee-based Comanche ceased production in 1992. For 2020, Jeep jumps back into this important market with the Gladiator.
