The Jeep pickup design was noteworthy for being in production for more than 26 years with only minor mechanical changes. The Gladiator was the basis of the first post-war U.S. Army trucks designed to be civilian vehicles and adapted to military use. Numerous versions of the Jeep pickup were built in other markets, including Mexico by Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos. ==Gladiator 1962-1971== Introduced in 1962 for the 1963 model year, the Gladiator was a conventional body on frame pickup design that shared its basic frame architecture and front end with Jeep Wagoneer four-wheel-drive station wagon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1963-1987 Jeep Gladiator and J-Series Pickups )〕 designations were J200 (short wheelbase trucks, up to mid-1965); J2000; J300 (long wheelbase trucks, up to mid-1967); J3000; and J4000, the first model with a longer wheelbase. Gladiators were available in RWD and 4WD, and came either with a solid front axle, or independent front suspension with optional dual rear wheels. Gladiator trucks were available as: Cab and Chassis; Wrecker; Stake Bed; and chassis-mounted campers with extended wheelbases. The load bed options were Townside, Thriftside (a "step-side"), and Stake Bed, with up to G.V.W. and almost two-ton payload capacity.〔 A new overhead cam Jeep Tornado engine straight-six producing was standard. Innovations for four-wheel-drive pickups included optional automatic transmission (an industry first), as well as power brakes, power steering, and a Power Take-Off unit for numerous accessories that included snow plows and push plates.〔 In early 1963, Willys Motors changed its name to Kaiser Jeep Corporation. During 1965 the AMC V8 engine became available. It produced and of torque at 2600 rpm. The standard Tornado engine was replaced by American Motors' OHV inline six. For 1968, the flared-fender Thriftsides models were dropped while a new camper option was added for the J-3600.〔 From 1968 to 1971 Jeep pickups offered the Buick Dauntless V8 as the optional engine. American Motors Corporation (AMC) purchased the Kaiser Jeep operations in 1970 when Kaiser Industries decided to leave the automobile business. The Jeep trucks moved to all AMC engines to improve performance and standardize production and servicing. The Buick engine was replaced by the or AMC V8s. In 1970, the Gladiator's front grille was changed to the same design as the Jeep Wagoneer SUV. This was the truck's first styling change since its introduction. An AMC badge was also added on the grille. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeep Gladiator」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
