Jeep – other models: pickups and trucks from the US brand, from the Kaiser M715 through the J4000 to the Gladiator and Grand Wagoneer, six- and eight-cylinder engines from 3.0 to 6.4 litres, 99 to 346 kW
This page collects Jeep commercial vehicles spanning several decades: the Kaiser M715, a military truck built by Kaiser Jeep in the 1960s on the Gladiator pickup platform, the civilian J-series with the J4000 as a heavier pickup variant, plus today's Gladiator, including Overland trim, and the Grand Wagoneer, revived in 2022 as a large SUV on a pickup-related platform. The C127 and Truck 46/8400 designations refer to the brand's early post-war commercial vehicles.

The register lists 10 variants here with outputs from 98.8 to 346 kW from six- and eight-cylinder engines displacing 2,987 to 6,400 cm³. Lengths range from 5,330 to 5,900 mm, widths from 1,894 to 2,480 mm.
While the Kaiser M715 is sought mainly by collectors and off-road builders as a rugged classic, the Gladiator and Grand Wagoneer target buyers who want off-road ability combined with everyday usability as a pickup or large SUV respectively. Both families also retain a strong following among restorers and off-road builders today.
When buying used, the M715 needs checks on the chassis frame and axles plus parts availability through military-vehicle specialists; the Gladiator needs the soft or hard top and four-wheel-drive components checked; the Grand Wagoneer needs the electronics and air suspension checked. Current parts run through the Jeep dealer network.
