Which Jeep pickup truck is based on the Wrangler?

The Jeep Gladiator is the Jeep pickup truck based on the Wrangler. The modern Gladiator JT shares its platform with the fourth-generation Wrangler JL and combines Wrangler-style off-road hardware with a separate cargo bed.

Jeep unveiled the production Gladiator at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 28, 2018, and it went on sale in 2019 as a 2020 model. It is a four-door, five-passenger midsize pickup with removable doors and roof panels, retaining the open-air character associated with the Wrangler.

The Gladiator revived a name Jeep had previously used for a very different full-size pickup introduced in 1962. That older truck was based on the larger Wagoneer-related SJ platform; after 1971, the line was generally called the Jeep pickup or J-series. The modern JT is therefore not the same vehicle as the classic Gladiator SJ.

The answer is sometimes confused with the Scrambler, Honcho, or Comanche. Those were earlier Jeep pickup names or variants, while Gladiator is the current production pickup built from Wrangler architecture.
