As if it were planned, weeks before the unveil of the much anticipated Jeep Pickup, the FCA Media site has accidentelly leaked images and specs for the upcoming model! And even though we ewre all expecting the Scrambler name, it looks like it’s going to be called Gladiator!
Check out this video to get my take on the specs that were leaked.
Here are the specs as I’ve been able to find them. Obviously, this isn’t a full spec sheet, but it’s what was leaked.

Most notable to me.
- No 4-cyl engine is listed, the Diesel of course is
- I’m surprised by the mention of ESS on the diesel engine.
- 8-speed automatic transmission, but no mention of a manual?
