Inside Line is reporting the possibility of a four-door, Gladiator-style, Jeep truck that may appear in 2008. My hope is that if Jeep brings a truck to fruition, it is as true to the Gladiator concept as possible, and not a truck version of the Wrangler. A four-door production Gladiator would wrest the Honda Ridgeline from the top spot in my truck wish list. [Via Autoblog.]

While the Honda Ridgeline remains the practical object of my truck-lust, the concept Jeep Gladiator has vaulted to the top of my "if money and practically were no objects" wish list. As one can see from the photos, there's no getting a baby/toddler car seat in to this thing, and the canvas roof would be impractical in the dry, 100-degree-plus heat of summer in north Texas. Still, I love the simple lines of the interior, as well as the retro-yet-modern utilitarian lines of the exterior. It's a great-looking truck.
