Flatbill history and characteristics
We are precisely talking about the 2020 Flatbill, showcased by Mopar Insiders. The Flatbill was an extremely rugged, high-performance all-terrain vehicle. Underneath the bodywork, it was always equipped with the highest quality mechanical components, all of which were designed to handle the toughest terrain. Extremely strong and durable Dynatrac Pro-Rock 60 front and rear axles took care of excellent traction and load capacity. A 4-inch lift kit increased the vehicle’s ground clearance even more, consequently improving its off-road performance. To complete the package, Jeep outfitted the Flatbill with high-quality rear shocks, 20-inch wheels and huge 40-inch tires, a feature certainly unique to a Gladiator, which offered nothing short of exceptional grip and obstacle-crossing ability.
Inside, the Flatbill’s cabin combined functionality and aesthetics. The colorful and easily washable floors were perfect for heavy use, while the seats completely customized for the model gave it a sporty and fun feel. The entire interior design was in keeping with the nature of the vehicle, while providing an environment rich in comfort and practical for off-road excursions.
Jeep Gladiator Flatbill concept equipment
The most important part of the Jeep Gladiator Flatbill concept was a robust 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine, already well known for its reliability in Jeep models. To further increase performance, this powerplant was equipped with a cold-air intake system, a modification that maximized air flow to the engine, which improves its efficiency and power.
Transmitting all the power of the engine to the wheels was a special 8-speed automatic transmission, designed to offer smooth and quick gear changes both on and off-road. This combination of engine and transmission always gave the Flatbill a dynamic and engaging ride, ready to tackle any kind of surface.
Gladiator, an extreme vehicle
This vehicle demonstrated how the Gladiator platform could be transformed into an extreme vehicle, capable of holding typical pickup truck features in close connection with dirt bike-inspired design. The aggressive appearance, with unique details such as ventilated fenders and a carbon-fiber hood, made the Flatbill a true Jeep design icon, capable of capturing the attention of off-road enthusiasts around the world.
Despite the advancing years, years later, the Gladiator Flatbill continues to be remembered as one of the most cutting-edge and memorable concepts presented by the Jeep brand. This vehicle proved that the imagination of Jeep engineers and designers truly had no limits, and that the possibilities for customization of the Gladiator platform are virtually endless.
