Jeep has built pickup trucks for most of its existence — a fact that surprises people who know the brand only for the Wrangler. From the Willys Truck of 1947 through the Gladiator and J-Series pickups that worked American farms and job sites for a quarter century, to the 27-year gap that ended when the modern Gladiator returned for 2020, Jeep trucks occupy a unique place in American truck history: genuine 4×4 workhorses with the brand’s trail DNA.

This page covers every Jeep pickup produced for the North American market. Use the navigation above to jump to a specific era.

2020 — Present

Jeep Gladiator (JT)

Midsize Pickup 4×4 Standard 3.6L Pentastar / 3.0L EcoDiesel

Jeep’s return to the pickup market after 27 years. Introduced at the 2018 LA Auto Show for the 2020 model year, the Gladiator pairs a Wrangler JL front end with a 5-foot bed on a stretched frame — and every Gladiator is four-wheel drive. Trims include Sport, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, the desert-rated Mojave, and High Altitude. Best-in-class towing for its segment when properly equipped (7,700 lbs). The 3.0L EcoDiesel was offered 2021–2023; the 3.6L Pentastar V6 is standard throughout the run.

Classic Era — 1960s Through 1992

Classic

The golden era of Jeep trucks. Many are still in service — and all are actively purchased.

1986 — 1992

Jeep Comanche (MJ)

Compact Pickup 2WD / 4WD 4.0L HO I6 / 2.5L I4

Jeep’s compact pickup, based on the Cherokee XJ’s unibody-with-bed architecture — rare engineering for a truck. Offered in 6-foot and 7-foot bed lengths with 2WD or 4WD. The 4.0L High Output inline-six (from 1987) made it one of the quickest compact trucks of its day. Production ended in 1992 when Chrysler consolidated pickup sales around Dodge. Clean Comanches are increasingly collectible — but we buy them in any condition, from restored to rusted.

1981 — 1986

Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler

Compact Pickup / Utility 4×4 AMC 2.5L I4 / 4.2L I6

A long-wheelbase CJ-7 with a small integrated pickup bed, the Scrambler blurred the line between utility Jeep and truck. Only around 27,800 were built, making it one of the rarest production Jeeps of its era and one of the most collectible today — even rough, incomplete Scramblers have real value. Sold in export markets as the CJ-10 in a different configuration.

1963 — 1988

Jeep Gladiator / J-Series (SJ)

Full-Size Pickup 2WD / 4WD Tornado OHC / AMC I6 & V8

Jeep’s full-size pickup line, launched alongside the Wagoneer on the SJ platform. Sold as the Gladiator from 1963–1971, then as the J10 and J20 through 1988. Twenty-five years of continuous production made it the workhorse of the Jeep lineup — farm trucks, plow trucks, and the military M715 derivative. Powered over its run by the Tornado overhead-cam six, AMC inline-sixes, and AMC 304, 360, and 401 V8s. Still commonly found working — or rusting — across rural America.

Vintage Models — Pre-1960s

Vintage

Rare and historically significant trucks from the Willys era.

1956 — 1965

Jeep FC-150 / FC-170

Cabover Pickup 4×4 Hurricane I4 / 6-226 I6

One of the most distinctive American trucks ever built — a cab-over-engine design on CJ underpinnings, styled by Brooks Stevens. The FC-150 rode the CJ-5’s 81-inch wheelbase; the larger FC-170 used a 103.5-inch wheelbase and six-cylinder power. Sold to farms, municipalities, and the military. Survivors are rare and command serious collector interest in any condition.

1947 — 1965

Willys-Overland Jeep Truck

1-Ton Pickup 4×4 Available Go-Devil / Hurricane I4

The first Jeep pickup — a civilian truck built on the mechanical legacy of the wartime MB. Offered in 2WD and 4WD, it was one of the first mass-produced four-wheel-drive pickups in America and stayed in production nearly two decades with modest changes. A foundational vehicle in American 4×4 truck history; any surviving example is significant.

About Jeep Trucks

Jeep’s truck lineage runs through four corporate owners. Willys-Overland built the first civilian Jeeps and trucks after World War II. Kaiser acquired Willys in 1953 and launched the Gladiator a decade later. American Motors (AMC) bought Jeep in 1970 and ran the J-Series, Scrambler, and Comanche eras. Chrysler acquired AMC in 1987 and ended Jeep pickup production in 1992 to protect Dodge truck sales — a gap that lasted 27 years until the Gladiator’s return under what is now Stellantis. Today’s Gladiator is built in Toledo, Ohio, where Jeeps have been manufactured since 1941.

Jeep Truck Naming Conventions

  • Willys Truck (1947–1965) — badged simply as the Jeep Truck; 2WD and 4WD 1-ton configurations
  • FC-Series (1956–1965) — “Forward Control” cabover trucks; the number roughly indicated size class
  • Gladiator / J-Series (1963–1988) — Gladiator name through 1971, then J-2000/J-4000, simplified to J10 (½-ton) and J20 (¾-ton) from 1974
  • CJ-8 Scrambler (1981–1986) — CJ numbering with a pickup bed; exported as the CJ-10
  • Comanche MJ (1986–1992) — internal code MJ, derived from the Cherokee XJ
  • Gladiator JT (2020–present) — revives the 1963 name on the Wrangler JL-derived platform

Jeep Truck Engine History by Era

  • 1940s–1950s — Go-Devil 134 flathead four, Hurricane F-head four, 6-226 flathead six
