In terms of the 4x4 auto arena, Jeep is known to be a brand belonging to the top-tier lists of the maker for such models. For this year, something fresh and completely different will be displayed at the 2018 LA auto show. This unique debut is said to be the Jeep Wrangler 2019 pick up and is speculated to be identified as the Gladiator.
This model is set to be Jeep's first entry to the vast line of pick up trucks widely distributed in the market. It is also said to go head to head with the Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado.

The pickup's style is obviously inspired by its SUV brethren but comes with a longer wheelbase, a larger cabin space, a more rakish windshield and a better bed size. Its unique front grille is what sets it apart from a Wrangler. The Wrangler's signature seven-slat grille is replaced with a dual-style design with overwhelming vertical slats on its side. Different fenders can also be chosen to customize the pickup truck.
In terms of engine choices Jeep will provide for the Jeep Wrangler 2019 pick up, it is still unknown. However, it can be assumed that since this pick up truck is a predecessor to the Jeep Wrangler, the following powertrain options can be viable. There's the Pentastar which is a 3.6L V6 that produces 290 PS and 353 Nm of torque. You also have the turbocharged 2.0L inline-four engine that maxes up to 264 PS and 400 Nm of torque. Last but not least, the turbo-diesel 2.2L engine which runs up to 200 PS and 450 Nm of torque.
