Model overview

Model description

Although Jeep is better known for military-inspired off-roaders like the CJ and Wrangler or for luxury SUVs like the Grand Wagoneer, it has a history with pickup trucks that goes back to the cab-over, “Forward Control” line of the 1950s. A more conventional, body-on-frame front-engine pickup called the Gladiator arrived for 1963, and it shared basic platform and styling with the wagon-bodied four-wheel drive Wagoneer.

In 1970, AMC purchased the Jeep brand and from 1971 the Jeep pickup lineup received styling updates and utilized AMC engines, including a 258 cubic inch six and V8s of 304, 360, or 401 cid. After 1971, Jeep dropped the Gladiator name and this era of open-bed Jeeps is simply known as the Jeep Pickup, Jeep J-Series, or by individual model designations like J2000/J3000/J4000 or J10/J20. Long and short bed versions were available, Jeep also built many commercial and military versions of its pickup, and Quadtra-Trac four-wheel drive was an available and popular option. For 1983 this system was replaced by the Selec-Trac.

The 1970s and early 1980s saw numerous loud trim packages like the “Pioneer” with its luxury woodgrain-trimmed interior and flashy exterior trim, the “Honcho” with its bright decals and roll bar, or the similar “Golden Eagle.” The “Laredo” included leather bucket seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel as well as a high-end Alpine stereo.

In 1987, Chrysler bought Jeeps. Since Chrysler also built Dodge, it wasn’t keen on Jeep building large pickups to compete with its own established line of trucks. The Grand Wagoneer, which shared the Jeep pickups’ chassis, soldiered on in its own upmarket niche for a few years but the Jeep pickups were no more. It wasn’t until the 2019 Wrangler-based Gladiator that Jeep again built a large pickup truck.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
