Two historical / up-to-date icons in one image, Gladiator + Vogue
Jeep's coveted pickup is a resounding success in America, and here too we are already seeing a few exemplifiers that came in personal imports.
We tested the first gladiator who came to Israel last November and we really liked what we discovered.
The Gladiator turned out to be a charismatic and unique SUV, a winning combination of two American icons, a pickup + jeep configuration in one machine.
To date, the gladiator has been armed with a Pentstar 285 horsepower engine;
The van is heavier than a regular Wrangler, so the Americans skipped the supercharged 2.0-liter engine, which is economical but not built for tedious work.

From the beginning it was clear that the gladiator would also need a diesel engine, and today he has arrived;
It is a six-piston EcoDiesel engine, with a volume of 3.0 liters and a V configuration. The maximum power is only 260 / 3,600 hp, but the torque has risen to 60 / 1,400 kg, which is almost double the torque of the original petrol engine (35).
In terms of a full-size American pickup truck these are not impressive figures but are significantly better than those of 1-ton pickup trucks, of the type we have;
For comparison, the new 2.8-liter Toyota Hi-Lux delivers 204 hp and a maximum torque of 51 kg;
It's very beautiful, but the gladiator is much stronger.
The diesel engine will be available with all Gladiator models (Sport, Overland, Rubicon), and next to it will be a rear axle Dana 44 / 3.73: 1 taken from the Rubicon version, a powerful axle that will withstand the increased load.
The diesel version weighs about 200 kilograms more than the petrol version.

The near-double torque gives the gladiator effortless climbing and crawling ability, a welcome change from the gasoline engine that needed to climb high up the RPM to find the horses. To do it excellently.So on paper the diesel power complements the excellent off-road capabilities and should create a useful, passable, and now even quite economical
vehicle.The diesel gladiator springs have been hardened by about 10% compared to the petrol version; acoustic mouthpiece. It should be noted that, surprisingly, fitness towing and load actually decreased relative to gasoline, for reasons of preventing overheating diesel engines.

"Given the anticipated demand acting sergeant accessible during the coming year As much as possible from the selection of Gladiator models. "And in Hebrew translation: we will import gladiators (we made over NIS 500,000) with gasoline engines and if we are also allocated diesels, then we will make some more money.

Non-objective summary
What do I say and what will I say?
I love this pickup, an authentic combination of everything we love about off-road promenades (except for the price).
Some will say that it is more 'worthwhile' to buy a Dodge Ram or Silverado, others will swear by the reliability and marketability of the Toyota, some will start calculating how much the importer earns and why it does not cost as much as in California?
This is how the skeptics will tweet but I'm sure the Jeep Gladiator will have a stubborn and impatient waiting list.
It will not be sold to us in hundreds of units a year, but it will be a sure and coveted icon.
