Pickup lineage
Two Gladiators, decades apart
The original Gladiator/J-series shared the SJ platform with Wagoneer. The modern JT is a Wrangler-derived pickup that revives the name without continuing the same chassis.
SJ siblings
The original pickups and Wagoneer shared full-size architecture, styling themes, and an unusually long production story.
J-series naming evolved
Gladiator branding gave way to J-series designations, making year and badge context essential.
JT starts a new branch
The 2020-on JT uses the JL Wrangler formula—solid axles, removable roof/doors—in pickup form.
