The Jeep J-10 Series Gladiator was the successor to the J-2000 Series Gladiator with an updated front end and grille. The J-20 has a longer wheelbase and greater payload capacity than the J-10. The J-10 was the first model to feature the Honcho name, which was an upgraded graphics package to the base model. The Early J-10 models featured the Crown Grille, which departed from the vertical slots of previous versions in favor of horizontal slots. Subsequent versions featured the Muscle Grille, with the base design remaining the same.
