Yahoo Autos 2024 Jeep Gladiator pickup truck spy photos show Wrangler-like refresh
It looks like the 2024 Jeep Gladiator is going to bow with a similar set of upgrades seen on the '24 Wrangler. Amazingly, our spy shooter captured this Gladiator pickup truck in a Kroger parking lot with nary a piece of exterior clothing in sight. The interior is more prudish, covering itself up with black vinyl garb, but that is pretty much all the evidence we need to confirm a Wrangler-esque upgrade on the inside, as well.
Starting at the front, Jeep's iconic seven-slat grille gets an update to keep the Gladiator looking modern. It appears very similar, if not identical, to the grille of the refreshed Wrangler. Unfortunately, we can't see what's behind that grille. It does not appear that this non-camo'd preproduction Gladiator boasts a 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain, so we're left wondering if that will ever show up. Same story for the 392 V8 engine. And for the Wrangler's optional 2.0-liter turbocharged four. We'd expect Jeep to continue offering its tried-and-true 3.6-liter V6 engine, but we'd love to see the Wrangler's other powertrain options make their way to the truck. And we don't expect the EcoDiesel to return for 2024, but we'll have to wait for confirmation.
