The new Jeep Gladiator J6 concept is one of the striking prototypes that the brand has presented on the occasion of the Jeep Easter Safari 2019, however, its peculiar configuration makes us think that this could be the advance of a future two-door version of the Jeep Gladiator pick-up.

As every year, with the arrival of Easter comes a new edition of the Jeep Easter Safari, the event that Jeep celebrates in the Moab desert, in Utah, where thousands of fans of the American firm gather.

It can be said that this is the appointment of the year for the brand and its many fans, so it is not surprising that it takes advantage of this event to present some of its latest developments, such as new versions or new accessory lines in addition to presenting each year several prototypes created expressly for this event.

These prototypes are usually spectacular highly modified versions of the brand's models, which despite having in some cases with tremendously striking configurations and in some cases futuristic designs, are usually made mostly with parts and accessories available in the Jeep and Mopar catalogs. . For this reason, these serve as authentic rolling showcases for the different accessories and possibilities offered by the FCA group's customization catalogs.

For this 2019 edition of the Jeep Easter Safari, the American brand has presented no less than 6 spectacular prototypes, although this time all of them were based on the same variant, the new 2020 Jeep Gladiator. This is the new pick-up body variant of the new JL generation of the Jeep Wrangler, whose production and marketing has just begun.

All the prototypes presented this year have spectacular configurations and numerous accessories, in some cases very radical, however, the concept that has attracted our attention the most is precisely the most discreet of all, since as we already told you in its presentation article , rather than a prototype, it seems to be another production variant of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator, we are talking about the new Gladiator J6 concept.

At the moment, this is just one more prototype of those presented at the Utah event, however, due to its configuration it seems to advance a future 2-door body variant of the Jeep Gladiator. We know the Jeep Gladiator JT 2020 uses 9 inch Jeep Wrangler led headlights aftermarket replament.

A variant that would undoubtedly be highly appreciated, since like the rest of the models in the mid-size pick-up segment, a 2-door version with a larger rear cradle would be the ideal option as a vehicle for many companies and professionals. . To which would be added the undeniable off-road capabilities of this frame, whose performance could only be increased thanks to its lower weight and less wheelbase.
 

From what we know, to create the new Jeep Gladiator J6 concept, the brand did not cut a copy of the current 2020 Gladiator, but instead used the intact base of a Wrangler Unlimited, which retains its 3,007mm wheelbase. Its overall length is 5,105 mm, about 430 mm less than the standard Gladiator, and its cradle is 1,829 mm long, 305 mm more than that of the Gladiator.

It should be noted that the production Gladiator is an extended derivative of the latter, so seeing the great result it obtains on a platform with a shorter wheelbase, we would not be surprised if the brand decided to launch this version on the market.

The base used has been a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, so it has the frame configuration of these versions, to which is added a suspension kit available in the Jeep parts catalog, designed to raise the body a few inches and thus be able to install these huge 37-inch diameter tires.

The Gladiator J6 concept has numerous accessories on the outside, although these are so discreet that aesthetically it seems like just another production version, only the suspension kit and the huge off-road wheels make it like the rest of the prototypes that Jeep has prepared for this event.

Are we facing a simple whim of the designers, or as it seems, this concept hides something else ?. At the moment we cannot answer this question, but it would not be the first time that a brand has launched a prototype to test the opinions of customers and / or dealers before launching its production variant.
