Jeep Gladiator Bed Dimensions & Features - Closer Look

[@tomd1939]

Good video, very thorough for just the bed. That editor's note was pretty funny too

[@eebrannen]

What is the length of the bed with the tailgate open. Need to decide what type of in bed camper to build!

[@MoragTong_]

Why is everyone on here crying about the bed size like its an F-150 or something? The Gladiator is set to compete with the Toyota Tacoma(and similar), which has a 5ft bed in the crew cab configuration. You don't hear people crying about the bed size on that rig. This thing isn't for hauling gravel or 30ft ladders...its a sport truck and its going to sell like CRAZY. Lots of Tacoma owners would love to get Rubicon like off-road ability from the factory and now they can. I will wait until CPO rigs are available in the next year or so...but I am getting one asap. My JKU is great but this is exactly what myself and thousands of Jeep owners have been waiting for. The best part is, all of the new model issues are being squared away on the JL, so this truck should be relatively trouble free.

[@thatguy3697]

I’ll pick one up in two or three years when all the lease return suckers turn them back in.

[@AridersLifeYT]

Mark my words. Australia has been yearning for a Jeep like this for decades. It will do amazingly well here.

[@alikakalanihuia8891]

A 2-door with a longer bed would definitely be a welcomed option. Can’t imagine me putting a camper on a 5 ft. Bed; I’m 6’4” and my wife is 5’4”.

[@markbatzel]

I'd love to see a 2-door diesel option too but with a 5ft bed it will do fine for a camper. Taco's have been doing it for years. Its not a camper you see on a F-350

Yep single cab 6 to 8 foot bed and less stupid accessories standard and I would be in the market as it sits now its a fleep markted to the weekend warrior types and not a serrious work truck

[@segwolfxviii2919]

@Azog 87 agreed... i dont like the single cab idea.

[@segwolfxviii2919]

@Gus Goose but its a modified Jeep Wrangler dumbass. The whole point of it is to have a back seat. They should have a Gladiator JL and a Gladiator JLU just like the Wrangler. I know its a hard concept for you to grasp but its ok, youll get there bud.

If you fill the cab with adult passengers you have on reserve payload capacity for the bed to tow. This is a SUV by definition.

[@Catman1798]

Captain Mac it’s just to give you a perspective how big it is back there. I’m sure at some point you will be buying at least one piece of plywood lol

[@captainmac9929]

I understand, but plywood? C’mon, it’s an overused measurement in my opinion, lol. I’d love to have one of these trucks but I’m not going to haul plywood, thanks. But I get what they’re doing, over, and over, and over, ..........

[@gmwhiteguy]

Not just plywood, you got drywall, etc.... a lot of homeowners need to haul things that measure 48” across. It helps it compete with the full size truck market.

[@CASANOVAPRO1985]

im in construction and ive never had to carry that many sheets of plywood. lol

[@raylaux8295]

That what a truck capable of doing 48" sheet plywood.. This is not a truck with a 5' bed. It's a SUV.

[@bigbossman5969]

they should offer the new ram split tailgate on the gladiator pick up

[@richs.7373]

This definitely needs to at least be an aftermarket thing if Jeep won't make it happen.

[@Starch-Wreck]

How dare they!! The tailgate of a truck is one of the most replaced pieces. Better make it more complicated for some of that extra consumer replacement cash. Or maybe they did you a favor.

[@ScratcherHeaven]

Just more crap that can break... soft close is enough for now

Big Bossman actually my apologies, I really like that option. I was thinking of the new GMC tailgate- with the upper folding section, clever but overly complicated

[@OneEphraimite]

I always wanted a Hummer but it felt like it was just to much and a little overbearing, but I always believed that if a middle ground could be found with a Jeep pick up truck demonstrating that same rugged military styling it would be a perfect fit for me, and though I was hopeful I didn’t really expect Jeep to meet up with that combined style. Boy was I wrong, they met my hopes with great detail.

[@Quadratec]

It's a great looking truck, in person it's really impressive.

[@dustyweasel41]

I’ve had a hummer h2 and h3. Although the 3 is like driving a couch, it pales in off road compared to a jeep. The h2 , even though I put 3” lift and 35’s, still didn’t do as well as any jeep I’ve had or have now. Plus the h2 has way too many blind spots for anything serious without a spotter. I’m on #17 for jeeps. Have a 2010 4 door jku with 4” an 35’s. Absolutely my favorite. I’m sure I’ll grab the Gladiator in 5 years, once they get traded in. Let those hummer feelings melt away......zen......Jeeeeep.....

1Ephraimite hey I actually came into the truth by stumbling on your channel by chance months ago. Funny I find you randomly commenting on something I wasn’t even going to bother clicking .

Quick question are they going to manufacture a Gladiator like the S.c.r.a.m.b.l.e.r.? Now i like 4 doors but two would be great to chose from.

[@corgily]

[@Antiquetractorsetc]

I wish there was a regular cab option. I’m not a fan of the 4 doors. I know it’s more space but I’d rather have the regular cab. And and the old online 6 was one of the best engines. Also the option for it to be standard would be cool.

[@stovlsuzuki]

What about the length from the back of the wheel well to the tailgate?for people who use 2 dog kennels in the bed

Just take my money already!!! When will this thing be available to order ?

[@Sloppyjoe96]

how does this bed compare to other small trucks

[@cbr6864]

Want an underpowered truck with miniature bed that's insanely overpriced then here you go problem solved. Jeep or should I say fiat needs to get back to their roots or they risk losing a huge customer base. Jeep has been living off a name for far too long now

[@GuitarSolosInc.]

I live and die by my 95 xj. Jeep nowadays is sorority girl, frat boy specific. I don't know how many of these overweight Fiats I've pulled out of puddles, but it's getting ridiculous. The engine barley moves that big body, let alone pushes it through mud. It's kinda funny. My 4,000 dollar xj puts these 50,000 dollar grocery getters to shame!!!!! But you can get some ply wood back there all day. The future of Jeep is looking grim. They ride the fame and power of 20+ yo models that were made by AMC. These Fiats are not even close to the preformance of the AMC Jeep. Maybe on paper, but on the trails they fail on the easiest spots. While all the real jeepers stand by and wait, then have to go get a real Jeep to pull you guys out.

Anyone thinking of wasting money on the Gladiator might have to look at an old Jeep Comanche from the Cherokee era. I really think this Pentastar V6 though is weak as hell to be pushing a 4,650 lb car versus the 3200 lb Cherokee being pushed by the venerable 4.0L I6 that churns out 200 hp 280lb ft torque instead of the weak torque numbers we're seeing from the Pentastar compared to it's curb weight.

So if the full size pick up cost is 40,000 to 60,000 why are all the midsize pick ups 35,000 to 50,000 ? Shouldn’t they be 20,000 to 35,000 seeing they are 5/10s to 8/10s the size ?

I agree wit the 2-door option but this is aimed at the Overland market for sure. Its not meant to be a full tilt pickup just like the Tacoma. Max towing on a Taco is 6800; this is 7650. A lot of people said the same thing about the JKU when it was first released. Now look at the market. Put this on 40's and look out...

Zach, I don't know how many Chevy Colorados I've pulled through mud. No power in these new v6's. I'm saying none of the new "suv's" have any power. Unless you do a lot of work to it. Would have to put locking diffs on the front and the rear. New transfer case, bigger gearing. Bigger Axel's. It won't make it stock. Whereas a stock 90's Wrangler will, all day everyday. And they just get tougher the further back you go. They dumbed down 4x4's for emissions reasons and consumer reasons. More sorority girls will drive these than outdoors men. Fiat knows that. It's just not a capable off road vehicle. Note that all he talked about was cargo. He didn't mention approach, departure, break over, nothing. It's not an off road vehicle. It's a grocery getter. So is the Colorado. The real 4x4's are gone bud. You have to build it if you want it. A Suzuki Samari would make these look like a Barbie Jeep out in the sticks. A Nissan patrol would leave this thing. My xj would have to pull it out. Just like the stupid jks, every weekend.
