Jeep, AM General team up on military-spec Gladiator pickup
The automaker has teamed up with AM General to create a military-spec version of the new Jeep Gladiator pickup called the Gladiator XMT (Extreme Military-Grade Truck.) Indiana-based AM General is the company behind the HMMWV -- more commonly known as the Humvee -- which was the most visible successor to the line of Jeep vehicles that traced their history to World War II and later spawned General Motors' Hummer brand. However, Jeep and AM General are both descendants of Kaiser Jeep, so the tie-up represents something of a reunion of the two brands. According to the partners, AM General approached Jeep with the idea to turn the all-new Gladiator into a Light Tactical Vehicle after noting its capabilities, which include a rugged 4x4 drivetrain and very high payload and towing ratings for a midsize pickup. 
The Gladiator XMT has been envisioned as a command and control vehicle. (Jeep/AM General) While their exact specifications have not been detailed, the concept XMTs revealed at the Association of the U.S. Army's annual exposition feature a combination of commercially available parts and custom military equipment, and are primarily aimed at troop transport and communications. https://www.foxnews.com/auto/jeep-am-general-team-up-on-military-spec-gladiator-pickup |

And here we go, something comes along that the military wants and then most on here want it.
It doesn't matter what it looks like, just that the military wants it. |

The military should lease them then surplus them after 3 years. People will fall over themselves to buy a beat to crap military jeep.

The shelter in that mock-up, lol. Might as well take a refrigerator box, paint it green, and go play army in the back yard.
That said, I'd much rather have a couple jeeps for admin use over a humvee any day. Would make running to the SSA to pick up a starter and a box of printer paper much less of a pain in the ass. |

And it can be yours for the low, low price of $87,999!MSRP before dealer markup. Call your dealer for availability. Includes fewer features than base Civilian Gladiator, but it has a cool paint job and marginally better suspension. Seats optional. Turn signals optional. Glass optional. Lights and dashboard optional. Body panels optional. Must add "Doors come off" package to remove doors. Stock engine is a 2.0l NA I4, other engines available for upcharge.

So what are the specs?
We threw away everything except the body panels and started over? The Jeep is still one of the best vehicles you can buy, but every new model gets gutted by fuel standards, crash ratings and emissions. If you roll a modern Jeep, it’s done. Frame is bent. |

That looks like it would be a great onsite C2 node for a active shooter or hostage situation at a mall.
