2020 Jeep Gladiator: First Impressions – PickupTrucks.com - Duration: 2:46.

we're here at the 2018 LA Auto Show where the biggest vehicle introduction

that we've seen here is the 2020 Jeep gladiator it's finally here this is a

long-awaited vehicle but now it's here and we've had a chance to take a closer

look and now we want to share that with you

a lot of unique features here but also some very impressive features here both

for four-wheel drive and for being a pickup truck three of our favorite

unique features the fact that like all other Jeep Wranglers the front

windshield can fold down you can remove the doors and there's an available soft

top option in a pickup truck no matter what side of the debate you come down on

is this more Jeep than pickup or more pickup the Jeep right here in the bed is

where this vehicle is gonna have to work and Jeep engineers have done a pretty

good job of including some aspects that work pretty well they've got a track

system that allows you to essentially put tie-downs anywhere you want inside

the bed also two well-placed d-rings at the back of the bed to strap anything

down that you need and also it has a 115 volt three prong plug that allows you to

charge anything with an inverter anywhere you go and also here on the

tailgate I've got a camera right here in the middle to give you plenty of rear

view for safety there's a lot to love about this new Rubicon package there's

nothing like it out there right now maybe the zr2 maybe the TRD pro but the

Rubicon looks like it's going to be incredibly impressive on any Xtreme 4x4

trail we love the interior it's got some really cool anodized red accents has the

emergency brake for the right hand and it's a lever pull just like it should be

and also it's got Fox shocks bigger wheels and tires a slight suspension

lift and a dramatic 84 to 1 low range ratio when you need to crawl over some

extreme rocks this is going to be the pickup truck off-road King some final

important numbers a max towing capacity for the gladiator of 7650 and a max

payload capacity of 1600 the vehicle is going to be

in four trim packages the sport sport s Overland and Rubicon but it's the sport

maxxtow that will get the max towing capacity the vehicles going to go on

sale in early spring and we expect pricing to come out closer to that on

sale date for more information on the 2020 Jeep gladiator go to pickup trucks

calm

Edmunds RoadNoise | LA Auto Show edition! Honda Passport, Mazda 3, Jeep Gladiator, and more! - Duration: 5:33.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

CARLOS LAGO: Welcome to a special LA auto

show edition of "Edmunds Road Noise."

WILL KAUFMAN: Surely, you mean AutoMobility LA.

CARLOS LAGO: Yes, of course.

I forgot.

That's what everybody in the industry calls it.

In any event, this is your look at everything

that happened in the automotive industry this week

and some of the things you may have missed from the Edmunds

editorial team.

WILL KAUFMAN: There are a lot of new cars

here on the show floor today, so we're

going to cover the ones you need to know about.

CARLOS LAGO: First up is the Jeep Gladiator.

Guess what?

It's a Wrangler with a bed.

It also has a lot of towing capacity,

around 7,600, pounds making it best in class.

A lot of road capability too.

And Jeep says it'll fit up to 35 inch tires

without a lot of serious modification.

WILL KAUFMAN: And in sports cars,

we've got the new Porsche 911 and the AMG GT R Pro,

a new version of the AMG GT R. And guess what?

Both of them are faster than the old models.

CARLOS LAGO: Shocking.

WILL KAUFMAN: I know.

We've extensively covered the new 911

and its hybrid potential already.

But Alistair Weaver will have a deep dive video and first look

article on edmunds.com/roadnoise.

CARLOS LAGO: The AMG GT R Pro seeks

to give you more of a race car like experience

from behind the wheel.

WILL KAUFMAN: So it'll be really uncomfortable.

CARLOS LAGO: Hopefully not, but it will sure be fast.

In more pedestrian car news but still pretty exciting,

there's the new Mazda 3.

The big news is it's all wheel drive.

And later, maybe next year, it'll

be available with Mazda's new-fangled direct spark

controlled compression ignition thing.

And that will also be a hybrid.

WILL KAUFMAN: And as always, I am keeping my fingers crossed

for a Mazda speed version.

Please, Mazda, please.

The all new Honda passport splits the difference

between the Pilot and the CR-V, both of which are our top

ranked vehicles in their respective classes.

It loses a few inches from the Pilot,

keeps the V6, and gains about an inch of ride height.

Combined with some trick all-terrain traction control,

software that should give it some real off road cred.

CARLOS LAGO: Lastly for SUVs, there's the new Hyundai

Palisade.

And it's probably the least expensive thing

you can get in the Palisades.

It's a big, three row crossover, with a lot of the features

that buyers in this segment really like to see.

So that's got a V6 engine with a twist.

Check for more detail about that at edmunds.com/roadnoise.

And now it's time for the most shocking part of the "Road

Noise" segment, that's EVs.

WILL KAUFMAN: Puns are my lane, Lago.

CARLOS LAGO: Audi unveiled its e-tron GT concept, which

it says has 582 horsepower.

WILL KAUFMAN: I thought they said 590 horsepower.

CARLOS LAGO: They did.

But that's metric horsepower.

And here in America, we use a different measurement.

WILL KAUFMAN: Makes perfect sense.

CARLOS LAGO: Yes.

It'll do 0 to 60 in 3 and 1/2 seconds.

It has a range of over 200 miles.

And it'll go into production in 2020.

WILL KAUFMAN: Rivian is promising

us the first electric pickup truck in 2020.

The S1T gets 400 miles of range, 11,000 pounds

of towing capacity, and a 0 to 60 time of just 3 seconds.

CARLOS LAGO: Isn't that faster than the Audi?

WILL KAUFMAN: It is.

It also gets some neat storage options like a frunk,

just like a Porsche 911.

CARLOS LAGO: Well, guess what?

WILL KAUFMAN: What?

CARLOS LAGO: Mitsubishi's bringing back the Evolution.

WILL KAUFMAN: I'm so excited.

CARLOS LAGO: Hold up.

It's an EV, and it's an SUV.

WILL KAUFMAN: Oh.

CARLOS LAGO: And it's called the e-Evolution.

WILL KAUFMAN: No.

CARLOS LAGO: See, it's electric, and it's an EV--

WILL KAUFMAN: I don't want to talk about electric cars

anymore.

CARLOS LAGO: --and it's e-Evolution.

WILL KAUFMAN: No.

We're done.

CARLOS LAGO: e--

WILL KAUFMAN: We're done.

It's over.

CARLOS LAGO: --Evolution.

WILL KAUFMAN: No.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

CARLOS LAGO: It's all new cars we're looking at.

We've also been driving a few too.

This week, Alistair Weaver got a chance

behind the wheel of the absurdly quick McLaren 600LT.

ALISTAIR WEAVER: The company has finally

got the idea that you don't have to drive

as if your pants are on fire to enjoy one of their cars.

Even at low speeds, this car is a real sense of occasion.

Every journey is an adventure.

I love it.

Right now, this is my favorite McLaren.

WILL KAUFMAN: And in this week's detour,

while we're right here celebrating new cars,

there's some bad news from GM.

CARLOS LAGO: They're going to ax about 14,000 jobs

and close a few plants, killing a few cars in the process.

That includes the Chevrolet Cruz, Chevrolet Volt, Chevrolet

Impala, and Cadillac CT6.

WILL KAUFMAN: Well at least Cadillac is promising us

we're going to see the sporty CT6 V before the car takes

its final bow.

CARLOS LAGO: On the lighter side of things,

special correspondent Elana Scherr has been at the show

too.

And we're going to take a look at what she's been up to.

ELANA SCHERR: I'm going to get all geeky on you guys,

because my favorite thing about auto shows is cutaway engines.

Cutaway engines have big holes in them,

which normally is a problem.

But at an auto show, it allows you to see all those things

that you're always reading about, twin turbos, V8s, V6s,

big pistons, small pistons, superchargers.

It's really the only time you get to see what's inside.

WILL KAUFMAN: Auto shows are not just the best place

to drool over a hot new concept cars.

They're also a great place to shop for your next car, truck,

or SUV.

This week, our tips and advice team

takes a look at everything you need

to know to make the most of the show floor.

CARLOS LAGO: That's going to do it
