The all-new 2020 Jeep® Gladiator – the most capable midsize truck ever – was named the “Best Off-Road Vehicle” for 2019 by Sobre Ruedas, the leading Spanish-language automotive radio show in the United States.
“The Jeep Gladiator is a midsize truck that truly dominates in both on- and off-road driving while providing a high level of versatility that today’s customers demand,” said Jaime Florez, director and host of Sobre Ruedas. “No other truck of any size offers the unique experience of open-air driving while also having the capability to tackle any obstacle thrown its way, all in a very attractive package.”

The Sobre Ruedas executive committee was responsible for generating the nominations. A group of automotive industry experts selected the winners of the 12 basic categories, in addition to the top prize, the Sobre Ruedas Vehicle of the Year.
