In March I bought a Fullsize Bronco for work. I found one in Jacksonville at a low internet price. Once they sent me the OTD price there was almost $6k worth of fees added on. $700 of that was front window tint. I argued with them about the price and fees. They told me that Broncos were in high demand and they were not going to lower the price. I told them that there were plenty across the entire US. I looked at JC Lewis in Pooler and I was able to get a Bronco OTD with extended warranty for MSRP

Inagree with you on Jeep should get a Gladiator that can compete with Chev, GMC Bison etc. For the cost of the Rubicon X trim, I'd expect the Gladiator to come like how you mention it. I personally think Jeep also did the Willys trim dirty. I always thought of the Willys as the "budget Rubicon" I think Jeep should get this Trim going with lockers front and rear and an electronic sway bar disconnect at a decent cost. I wanna wheel, I don't need the tech in a Rubicon. I dislike that Jeep made The rubicon X trim instead of just keeping the Rubicon the fancy trim and building the Willys the way a "base rubicon" should be.

Definitely agree with you on all those changes, especially the 5:13 gears, but if they do all that I want a V-8 option for it something awful.

Love the idea of the 37” package done from the factory, especially with warranty coverage on a Mopar lift! Not to be a bean counter, but how does that configuration impact freight logistics and cost?

When it came out with only the Pentastar V6 they blew it. If they would have put the 5.7 Hemi in it they would have sold ever one they could build.

stop buying toyota so they can change their ways.

Put the Hurricane SST in the Gladiator. With the 37 package.

Yes! Been thinking this for a while. Come on jeeple!

If Jeep makes all of those changes to the Gladiator, a V8 is a must, or all of those changes will be a waste. It doesn't have to be a 6.4L, but a 5.7L would be plenty for it. I would also like to see a slightly larger gas tank, maybe 3-5 gallons more, nothing huge.

Absolutely. The Bronco Raptor comes with 37s....The Wrangler/Gladiator can too.

90% of jeep owners are pavement queens. Why bother?

Jason, call Tim and propose a Storm Trooper Package. 😂

It’s already too expensive as is, litfted and 35s gonna cost even more.

Call it the Yeti package. Lol

100% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did he just say the Penastar V6 is a flawless motor? It's widely regarded as one of the least reliable engines ever made.

My Toyota Tundra Platinum door panels and dash are melting so bad as well. Dealership won’t do anything about other than replace the door panels/dash for $5k. I won’t ever buy a Toyota product again.

Aliens

Insane

Spend 4 decades to build a reputation and 4 years to destroy it

Had two f150s last one a crew cab bought a 2022 trd sport yes not the greatest view and alot of road noise that im not used to but handles great and looks awesome hoping for the reliability.

Do what Long Island Audit did and rent a billboard truck that projects any video source and cruise up and down roads by dealership

Make it rugged

SO SO SOOO glad I cancelled the GX I wanted and went with tried and true tech in the Armada. (2024) and yes I need to say ThankYou Jason as your reviews helped me in making that decision. I really liked the looks of the Lexus but was concerned with buying a first year product, along with all the issues from engine to floppy hood and everything in between.. AND I’m just loving the Armada! I feel I have a powerful reliable tried and true vehicle with lower tech and a super great engine and transmission AND I saved about $30,000 taboot! I could buy a Frontier with the savings. (LOL) So again thank you Jason for your schooling, please keep up what you do.

Toyota no longer stands out from the crowd anymore. They’re all the same now.

Stop trading in older vehicles and stop buying new ones. Force them to drop the prices or sit on em for years.

This is the first I'm hearing of this. Ridiculous. I dread the day I need to buy a new vehicle and it may be. right around the corner.

I'm sure glad I got a 2023 4runner. I will be keeping it for a long time for sure. I was really hoping that the new Tacoma would be something I'd be interested in, but I am diappointed. My current Tacoma is 13 years old and I was looking to possibly get a new one afger the bugs are worked out. I am not sure what to do now. P{ossibly a Frontier in my future. Thanks for the great videos!

Call Lexus corporate relations yourself, and try to have the melting mirrors fixed. If they refuse put a sign in the side window of the Lexus that the mirrors melted in the sun and continue to drive it for the next 12 months. That’s the kind of advertising they don’t need. Then sell it and buy a used GX 460.

Good info Jason, thanks

Again, car companies, back. Your. Product. I don't care if these people live in a volcano. Your cars are literally melting. I know it gets up around 100-110 degrees in Arizona quite regularly, especially in the summer, but has this ever been a major issue before, or for any other brand? It would appear not. Make it right, it really is that simple.

If the Lexus models are having these problems… what’s going to happen to the Toyotas? Lol these are the things that make people want to drive their 80 thousand dollar Lexus right into a dealerships windows and tell them to keep it… absolutely ridiculous

I got window etching off and the doc fee when i picked up my custom ordered bronco last January. They tried to say ita a must charge foe everyone and I said no until they removed ir

they always try to pass on their inventory tax as well.

Cheap Chinese parts?

Rear window passenger trim on my 2020 Mazda 6 did the same thing. It’s the UV reflective properties on the new windows in newer built homes. I’m in Myrtle Beach SC.

Used to be no competition; the old 4.0L V6 Taco and 4Runner were the obvious choice, but not anymore. Gladiator with a Pentastar V6 is actually looking pretty sweet right now. The number of 4 cylinder turbocharged midsize trucks on the road is increasing every day, but I would go shopping for a V6 if I was shopping used. A failing turbo can be a 4 figure repair but almost everything on the V6 is 10's to 100's of dollars to fix, and not over $1,000.

Jeep vs Colorado? Driving mostly on road offroad for fun.

Toyota/Lexus no longer reliable nor durable.

These are all i use on my truck. Im in Colorado and i grip just fine on these dirt roads up the hill

Just keep proving me right when i said toyota/lexus sold quality for profits. When folks go shopping for a new truck any company should be included cause they are all equals now. There is no more brand that stands out for being a superior product.

I think there most be some dealers that either went out of business or did dealer trades. I have seen my local dealer had a bunch of 24's sports that they did not have before. but plenty of 25 models

Great video. I absolutely love my ‘21 Mojave. I don’t deal with your mud hear in Colorado and I’m not an intentional rock crawler, just an insanely curious and adventurous explorer that’s prone to making poor decisions - lol. Adding to that it’s also our everyday driver. That’s why we decided upon the Mojave over the Rubicon though I have to defend that choice constantly. Two features that distinguishes the Mojave and Rubicon that weren’t mentioned are the hydraulic bump stops and cast iron knuckles in the suspension setup. I’m currently at 63,000 miles and need new tires. I stress over these kind of decisions so would value your thoughts. My Gladiator was equipped with the A/T’s and I didn’t include my spare in the rotation pattern. Also I didn’t find the snow handling with the Falkens optimal but not the worst. I’m also considering the 33 to 35’s switch now and if I should trade up to a higher sidewall rating. Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts. ✌🏼❤️😊, Greg

Still a piece of crap car, made with cheap materials. Stay away. In 1994, I purchased a brand-new Jeep Wrangler with the 4.0L engine from Falore Chrysler Plymouth Jeep Eagle in Sunnyvale, California, for less than $18,000-the only new car I’ve ever bought in my life. At the time, the Wrangler lineup included several trims, with starting prices ranging from $11,530 for the Wrangler S to $19,201 for the Renegade. The SE and Sahara trims, priced at $14,949 and $17,372 respectively, came standard with the 4.0L inline-six engine. My purchase likely fell into the SE or Sahara range, possibly with additional options that brought it to just under $18,000. Initially, I thought I was investing in a rugged, dependable vehicle. Instead, I found myself dealing with a litany of issues. I put 29,000 miles on it, but when I moved to Boston, the vehicle’s flaws became painfully apparent. Boston drivers-easily the most reckless in the nation-repeatedly hit my parked Jeep, causing significant damage. This forced me to overhaul the vehicle entirely. I replaced the axles with Ford F-150 axles, installed a four-inch lift, upgraded the driveshaft, and added stronger brakes. Essentially, I had to rebuild the vehicle to make it functional. By 2010, I sold the Jeep for $5,000-a decision that, in hindsight, cost me dearly as nostalgia-driven demand skyrocketed the value of 1990s Wranglers to over $20,000 by 2015. But even if I’d kept it, the fundamental issues with its design and construction would remain. The doors were flimsy, the soft top leaked, the body lacked structural stiffness, and the dashboard was cheap, brittle plastic. The Jeep was riddled with corner-cutting measures that prioritized profit over quality. This was a far cry from the older CJ models, which were better built and more reliable. Yet today, people are spending upwards of $50,000 on new Wranglers, which still suffer from many of the same deficiencies. It’s not just a personal grievance-it’s emblematic of a systemic problem in the auto industry. Companies like Jeep exploit brand loyalty to sell overpriced, underperforming products. It’s a disservice to consumers and a testament to how far the industry will go to maximize profits while sacrificing quality. It’s time for accountability. Automakers owe it to the public to deliver vehicles that justify their price tags-not glorified fashion statements masquerading as durable transportation.

@Jason Sammie. Rest of them are made up?

I was just looking at this set . Thanks for the review

Great information!

Bunch of horse puckey. I have never paid for glass etching, tinted windows, Nitrogen tires and all that dealer b.s. If you are patient and know what you are doing you won't pay any dealer add ons either. This guy doesn't know how to make a deal.

I tell them the truth that I do everything you mentioned by myself. I don’t need them. If they want me to have it, they should pay for it not me.
