Jeep

The cars of the 2018 LA Auto Show outnumber the trucks, but trucks and SUVs are the bigger story. The show hosts the much-anticipated Jeep Gladiator, a pair of all-electric adventure trucks, a Ford F-550 dressed up in US$1.8 million clothes, and plenty of other premieres and oddities.

The Jeep Gladiator is part Wrangler, part pickup truck in a package capable of towing 7,650 pounds and hauling 1,600 pounds in its five-foot bed. While still doing Jeep things like fording 30-inch rivers and climbing mountains. The Gladiator debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Last year's Rezvani Tank was a pretty extreme build - an xtreme utility vehicle (XUV!). But it was not extreme enough to sate Rezvani for long. Now the California shop has dropped Dodge's 6.2-liter Hellcat engine into the bay, cranked things up by more than 200 hp and created the Tank X.

Jeep is on track to produce a plug-in hybrid model of the legendary Wrangler and plans to have it in showrooms in 2020. The company has announced that key components for the PHEV Jeep will be produced at its Toledo Machining Plant in Ohio.

The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is 700+ horsepower worth of sport utility vehicle. It's crazy and awesome at the same time. We're convinced that if The A-Team were remade as a television show in 2018, B.A. Baracus would drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.

The Jeep Wrangler is the off-road icon in the US, but it's not a super-popular base for expedition rigs. Red River Rigs hopes to change that by bringing the American Safari JXL to market. The kit not only puts a pop-up camper on the back of a Wrangler, it adds more cargo room in the process.

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee sees a new design, more interior room, and another engine option. Otherwise, it is largely the same as the previous-gen crossover (a good thing). After a week in one, we think it's a vehicle that is worthy of carrying the Jeep Cherokee name.

It's Easter Safari time again in Moab, and that means it's time for Jeep to roll out another seven terrific concept vehicles to titillate the crowd. And again, they deliver, with a diverse range of obtuse angles on the classic American off-roader.

Fiat-Chrysler has pulled back the curtain on a refreshed Jeep Cherokee, revealing a new-look exterior that tips its hat to the heritage of the iconic off-roader. Onboard is a revamped fascia and hood, along with a brand new 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged engine.

This year, we saw the redesign of one of the world's 4x4 icons, the spread of electric powertrain tech to the trail, all-new racing machines, and a few toys that could lure even the most stubborn homebody into the backcountry. Here we look back at our favorite fun, capable off-roaders of 2017.

Cars, trikes and bikes aren't the only things worth seeing at this year's LA Auto Show. The show is playing host to its fair share of awesome large and rugged vehicles, from the all-new Jeep Wrangler, to the most luxurious Range Rover out there and a tracked-out GMC Sierra snow machine.

The flagship of the Jeep brand, the Wrangler is one of the most easily-recognized and cultishly followed vehicles in America. When Jeep announces a new-generation of the Wrangler, it’s an event as momentous as Halley's Comet: both rare and much-anticipated.
