The Hurricane would be a perfect fit in the Gladiator.. Our time with it in the heavy Grand Wagoneer was a blast. The motor has some pop and thats something the Gladiator needs
Yes it does!
I'd love to see a 2 door gladiator with a shorter wheel base
😎😎😎
Very few ppl would want that , so doubtful
Needs to happen
Then it loses its true truck capability and towing goes out the window. Plus one of the nice things is taking 4-5 people and still having the truck with a small offroad camper for a good camping trip off road.
Yep, that would trump everything on this list
Great information as always. Thanks for posting. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Super happy with my 2022 Mojave. Exactly for what I need it for and can still do 80% of what a rubicon does. Great as a daily and so far it’s been a good build. Waiting until after deployment to finish up with some wheels and 35s, re gear it and put on an aev 2 inch leveling kit that goes well with the Mojave package.
Great to hear!
Great Video Matt! Thanks for keeping up on all things Jeep!!!
You bet!
Thanks. My wife loves my 2022 JLU and wants to get a matching Gladiator Willys Sport to haul grand kids and gardening supplies. So thanks for this update, we definitively would want them to match so I better get her a 2023!
That would be awesome!
I tend to be the one person that disagrees in TH-cam comments.
I don't like electronics in a jeep wrangler, it takes away from what it was originally designed for, simplicity, ease of repair in the field.
The power top, hate it. 4XE, hate it. E-torque, hate that too, glad its not in my jeep.
Most people that buy these are not going to wheel it like we do, some will, most won't.
And when I say 'wheel it' I mean swapping axles, regear, lockers, lift, tires, bumpers, winch.
Driving down an Unassumed Road is not wheeling, it might get you in the door, and if your lucky you get infected with the Jeep Thing.
I love driving/wheeling with the top and doors off. And maybe I'm just old and like the simple things in life.
I have huge reservations about the next generation of Jeep and what thats going to look like.
Thou I did buy a 2018 JLU Sport, not because I didn't want the JK, because the JL was just hitting the lots, the dealer gave me such a good deal on the JLU I had to take it.
So to be clear, tech and electronics are fine in your everyday average vehicle. I just don't think it makes sense in a Jeep Wrangler.
OH, Cameras, I hate cameras. Talk about taking the fun out of wheeling. And I think cameras add a false sense of security. But like I said, I'm old, I think old school.
Keep the vids coming, I don't always agree, but thats what opinions are for.
Glad to have these opinions on the channel, I think that's what makes a good community, to be able to discuss vs. argue, tech is definitely much harder to diagnose and repair when off grid!
Thanks for these videos. We have decided to go with a Gladiator. Just need a cool color!!! Wish they’d put a Hemi in it too but I’ll take it when I have a really sick color ❤
Right on!
So….. these are just all wishlist for 2024
Awesome info thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your videos mate.
I’m from Australia, and wranglers are so expensive here. I’d love to see a re fresh before I order 1. Nice quilted seats are definitely needed with cool seats ..
and current model been around since 2018 - to definitely time for some updates!!! Please!!! :)
They are not cheap in states too))
Hopefully soon!
Got me with the thumb nail Matt. I'm a sucker for a bronze or gold gladiator. In line 6 should be better for torque aka towing. If it's for 2024 I'm in.
Thumbnail credit goes all to Ryan!
I would love for jeep to offer different options for gearing up to 5.13's if they could. I would love also for the rear window to be electric like the Tacoma.I would also love for the seats to be cooled or AC and bring back the Gator color.
All good points!
The multiple piece roof would be kinda nice...especially if it became a cover for the bed.....but as an owner of a 2016 jku Rubicon hard rock, I take the whole roof off in spring, summer and fall....after 6 years of ownership I notice that the roof panels have quite a noisy squeak to it when bumps are hit, pot holes and other things....but its a JEEP thing.....lol
Lol
As a Gladiator sport owner.. there's a bit I like about the truck, and a few things I wish was better.. Now, what i like about it. Mine was bought used, has a 3" lift, is on 34s, has a front steel bumper with winch, and has 3 different options for the top from the previous owner to name a couple of things. That's great, and why I bought it.
Now, what I wish was better. The seats, as being almost 6'4 aren't comfortable in adjustment. My wife however, feels she's comfortable at almost 5'10.. Cooled seats would be nice, and paddle shifters if it is ever to come about. Also, standard navigation would be nice. Oh, agreed about putting at least the Hemi in it. Or SC it it at least if they're going that way.. I get better fuel economy in my Dodge Challenger Scat Pack..
The reason for the paddle shifters.. on several occasions when off-roading I've accidentally pushed the shifter into neutral when hitting a bump.
Definitely some good points here
@DIRT ROAD CRED I was actually looking for a Challenger Scat Pack when we were cruising the lots and inventory was low.. My wife daily drives it to work, and she gets compliments on it.. Funny, they think it's hers, and she likes being a "Jeep girl"..
I really hope that jeep homes in on the mpg. I have thought of getting my own gladiator rubricon. I hope they also work on the highway windage as well as the noise factor inside the cabin to make it quieter. Rear seats, I really wish they would redesign the rear seat with the seats folding down. and more space under their rear seats. A refresh, gladiatort that comes with a better lift, bigger more off road worthy tires
Good call!
I agree, as long as they don’t make the Jeep to look too different and maintain the good approach and departure angle, I’d like to see a shorter hood to make it shorter, it’s not the best use of space, fuel economy is definitely a deciding factor, i can not afford to drive my truck all the time, I drive my civic mostly, the diesel sounds interesting due to how efficient it is, although I hear it might not be a reliable motor…
Actual J-10 full size truck or Jeep Military full version truck without having to do mods of any kind or Outlander for Gladiator or JL . Now taillights 💯% needs change and interior dash like JK high dollar 💲💲💲 . All you mentioned is great ideas nailed it . Always enjoy your channel 🦾 ✌️😎
Thanks so much! I loved the J-10 also!
@@DIRTROADCRED I found 72 little ruff but body is great shape
ok i was on the fence about ordering a gloss blue mojave. but as soon as you said theres a possibility the gladiator could get the hurricane. im waiting, cus thats the best engine i think for the gladiator. it will probably be equal or greater than the deisel in towing while also being for fun and rev happy, like the 3.6. personally I've fallen out of love with V8s tho, they really only suit fullsize trucks and most get em for the nostalgia. so heres to hoping they release a badass new color, make the standard engine option the 3.0TT, with an improved Mojave trim level. That is a vehicle i would factory order in a heart beat.
Very good idea!
Its such a perfect truck as is for anyone into serious adventuring. So hard to make perfect better. 😊
Right on!!
New front seats that have the knee extenders (think BMWs) would be great to make them more comfortable on longer drives.
That would be cool
I have a 2022 gobi willys sport gladiator with a manual. We do enjoy it but I did trade in my hemi ram 1500 for my mustang(def glad I did for production and fun reasons) but I wish the gladiator would have a V8. Never understood why they don't have the 5.7, even detuned in the gladiator. Would be nice to have a couple more modern standard features. But it has been fun, surprisingly comfortable and people really seem to like it. I would even take the hurricane at this point but damn I miss my hemi(joe dirt voice)!
Wish the gladiator had a 5.7 also
I would like to know if I should buy the Gladiator 2022 v6 or the new Rubicon 2024 2 l turbo ... I am located in Thailand, and the gladiator is a lot cheaper in this case .... thanks
Hey Matt, thanks for the video. Do you see a future for the 3.0L hurricane in the wranglers??
I would imagine so!
I’ll be waiting for this!
Sky top is the best choice, super nice for Florida weather.
You got that right!
Yeah sunshine to torrential downpour to sunshine in the same hour is common.
@@yolo_burrito In the same 10 minutes when you drive on 95 ))
This is me right now! So glad you made the video! Couple questions.
1. Do you believe 24 will be the refresh year?
2. Do you think high velocity yellow will be available for 24?
Glad we could help!
Personally, I highly doubt High Velocity being carried over into '24 with the possibility of Punk'n coming back this year. If you want that color I'd order soon. I waited to long to order a JTM in Gecko and literally missed out by 1 day. Cheers and GL
@J Scott I was under the impression that with high velocity replacing sanzberry, a color out for a few years. That high velocity would be out for a few as well. I assumed punkn would take over for that blueish gray color that is limited. But, thinking about it more. It's a toss up, but what you are saying makes sense. I really prefer to wait for 24. But want the high velocity. Ugh. I wish I had a crystal ball!
@DIRT ROAD CRED what do you think about high velocity being available in the 24 gladiator?
Great vid mate
Cheers!
I would like to see the power top on the gladiator and I’d love it if they would make squared off rear door instead of using the wrangler doors. There is plenty of room for it and it would make it easier to put a fridge slide back there.
That would be neat to see!
Disagree. The angle at the bottom is parallel to the angle of the rear fender flare. It's aesthetically pleasing and cheaper to build. A squared off door would be a third size door for the Wrangler/Gladiator.
My thing and lots of other people are wondering, why don’t they make a gladiator rubicon 392. Since it’s in the wrangler and people are already doing hemi swaps in them thanks to AMW. Hell at least for one year or two.
Exactly or even just a 5.7 version for lower trims. I mean they say it’s a truck but don’t offer a v8 lol
The 5.7 would have been perfect!
Again more great info!
Thanks again!
I got the 23 the rebates and discounts were very hard to ignore lol. I got about 9k off msrp for my gladiator rubicon. I'll wait two years and see how this new motor works out.
That’s awesome!
The discounts are at 20% off msrp right now... still wont bite!
To late, already ordered and took delivery of my '23 JTM.......no regrets, love it. When the time comes it will get LS swapped.
Sick!!!
Great job on the video. Would like to see Gobi color come back on the Gladiator truck. This desert color should be standard and it's not.
Thanks for watching! Agreed, Gobi looks great.
4:06 yeahhh… add more electronics to a fiat. Good idea 🤣😅 I can already imagine the posts on wrangler forum “My speedometer disappeared!!” 😆
😁
Quality control issues have been prevalent for 2020,2021,2022 model cars due to Covid, supply issues, and well as employee problems. Supposedly the 2023 models are having less quality issues. One reason to by a 2023 is that it will be less expensive than a 2024.
Good call!
When will the JT have the Orange back? I seen Earl in my order banks. But not the orange.
Hopefully soon!
Hellcat Gladiator, short wheelbase, hard top/tonneau cover, Plum Crazy color, Gladiator? Thanks
That would be neat
Well, you sold me on a 2024 Gladiator (Rubicon) 😅! All the updates listed sound great to me! Problem is, I need a new vehicle ASAP & it's between the 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon or 2023 Toyota 4runner TRD Pro.
I'd be pretty disappointed if I got the 2023 Gladiator now & they drop this refreshed 2024 option, knowing it had more of the features that I'd want...& from what I hear, perhaps they'll finally address the steering wobble issue in the 2024 model? Vs needing to mod after the fact?
Waiting for Jeeps official press release tbd
Power folding mirrors would be nice on gladiator and wrangler
Power seats
Yes it would!
Keep the steering wheel. Keep the analog gauges. Rear center arm rest and heated rear seats should be available
The digital cluster is pretty neat!
Will there be a manual transmission XR JL or JT?
Nothing yet!
Jeep should do a strip down basic version with off road package. No electric seats or roof. Just a simple package. 👍
I agree!
I would like to see them fix the windshield defroster. Living in the north east and dealing with all that Mother Nature throws at you. Being able to see out of the whole windshield would be nice.
Might have a fix for that soon on the channel!
What is the likelyhood that the hurricane will be paired with a manual transmission when it hits the gladiator and jl platform?
I believe it will only be automatic!
@@DIRTROADCRED that is bummer... Us manual transmission folks really need a better engine option.
I now have a 22 Rubicon with a lot of the fun bells and whistles. I came from a 15 JK, and I wonder though if we should have so much tech on Jeeps. I'm already nervous to lower the top and get dirty because everything is so nice and expensive and I want to keep her looking good. I guess it just comes to a person's own willingness to let their hi tech super nice vehicle get as dirty as Jeeps can get. I didn't mind as much in my JK because it just wasn't as nice. Im sure with some more time I will be ok with her getting dirty but for now, the mall crawl is just fine with me. Lol.
Good point Adam!
I just bought a Sahara with one touch for the wife, I wont buy a gladiator until it has a V8 or they put the hurricane in it, saw a video with a Demon engine, thats worth buying.
That would be neat!
When would the 2024 be released for ordering?
You can order them now!
If you need a new Gladiator or Wrangler just order it as you don't know what the future will bring.
I wouldn't wait based on rumors,if you need or want just buy.
As to a pull apart hardtop that hasn't worked out well for the bronco given it shakes, rattles and rolls.
As for a modern dash it's a jeep why do you want modern, more to break
Just my thoughts
Thanks for watching!
What about 2022 vs. 2023?
Thanks
Welcome
Make the GM 3-liter diesel an option for the Gladiator, and the full floating rear end. Jeeps had GM engines in the past, like the 350 Buick V8 in the Wagoneer during the 60s.
That would be neat!
Do you work with Dan Cummins in Paris or Georgetown? I grew up and live in Georgetown and Paris is only thirty minutes away.
I do work with them, I’m located in PA
How about a 5.7L hemi? It’s actually not bad on fuel, better than my 2015 silverado 5.3
Had one in my 2018 JL and loved it!
Leave the steering wheel alone. The steering wheel in the Gladiator according to their marketing team informed us that it's a nod to the original 1940s-era steering wheel. Paddle shifters make no sense in an off-roader. The manual shifting on the stick is good enough. Paddles make sense in sports cars but not an off-roader. It is just something to get in the way when you are maneuvering offroad. All digital in dash is nice but more tech to break. Maybe I am just a little old school (had a TJ) but just because one can do something does not mean they should. Keep the vehicle purpose built. As is, the Gladiator is great.
Thanks for the comment
If Jeep would build the ext cab, like the 05 prototype, sign me up. Great proportions....little less cab, and a bit more bed.
That would be neat!
@@DIRTROADCRED Yes Sir....Jeep could have a huge lock on that market offering 2dr, Ext Cab, and 4 door. Thanks for the get back
I'd put my order in tomorrow for that! That is what it should look like.
Where is Dan Cummins CDJR located?
Paris, Kentucky
I personally never buy a new generation of redesign on my vehicles. It usually takes 2 or 3 years to work the bugs out.
Good call!
you forgot to mention the rumor that the 2024 gladiator will be available in 4XE and if that's the case, it's definitely worth waiting for
That would be awesome!
I'd love to see the following:
1. Please keep the diesel
2. Have a v8 option
3. Have less models available. Maybe 4 max
4. Improve interior quality/design
5. Sunroof/moon roof option
6. Better Audio, maybe a few more speakers
7. 35" wheels even on non Rubicon or Mojave
8. More Color options (Bring back Gobi color)
9. Make doors with no trims around glass (Like Bronko)
10. Heated rear seats, Heated floor, and power seats.
Of course the list could go on, but I feel like we're not getting a whole lot of jeep for the money we pay. It is unfair that other trucks offer so much more luxery for even less money. It pushes a lot of people away. At least make it an option that people can choose when they order them new. Bring more options but please don't do a crazy restyling. It's perfect the way it is.
Great list there!
Loved the video. I have a Jeep Glad Overland with a 3.5 lift and 37s my main concern is the power and hoping to trade it in with maybe more power or EV with a lot of HP.
Thursday we will have to see what jeep reveals!
I just wish they would fix the cab by the rear doors
One of my biggest complaints
2024. Want to see the hurricane options
I do too!
I have a ‘22 Gladiator Rubicon and I’d love to see an extended cab (2 door). Remove the back doors, take 12” off the cab and add it to the bed. Half the electronic systems could go as well. Get rid of FAD, auto-park, power windows, auto stop/start, the list is endless. 4.88 gears and 35” should be a thing as well. 😂
Check out the J8 concepts!
@@DIRTROADCRED Ho Lee 💩!! I remember seeing an article but had no idea AEV was involved. I guess my GenX inability to accept engineered obsolescence and expect the simplicity and durability of a J30 is the problem.
Gladiators in my area are like 18k off right now.
They won’t change the steering wheel and probably won’t give a digital gauge cluster the Jeep as well about being good off road is about being nostalgic much like the challenger so they won’t change them as they have Easter eggs
You're probably right!
The Oracle flush mount taillights are great. Replaced the stock lights after the plastics (not the lens) got brittle and cracked on two stock sets.
Awesome to hear!
Local dealers jacked the price of the gladiator up 15K !! .. made it unaffordable.. so I have to move on with my
quest for a new 4 wd... Jeep should put some constraints on the price gouging the dealers do.
Give Lindsey a call at Dan cummins!
The hybrid would be great option too. It’s very powerful.
Yes it would!
Has anyone been experiencing hesitation in third gear in the manuals with the gladiator?
I’ll leave this one to the viewers
If Jeep doesn't put in the 3.0 Hurricane Engine and provide optional 37s for the 2024 MY, then I may just go with the Bronco.
Its a hard waiting game!
I agree, but nothing to lose if I’m willing to wait for the 2024 Model Year. 😊 I like them both, but since I am 6’6 space and comfort is a big deal.
glad's should've come with Dana 60's and a V8 stock..i have a 2021 and am considering trading in ..
That would be neat!
i guess they have to shorten up the block on the hurricane variant for wrangler a little. then it will be ready...expect 350-375 hp prolly 450 tq.....but as with all these things...u may want to wait til 2025 if they actualy do put it in there....just to make sure wiring harneses and heat shields and stuff are all in the right place i wouldnt be the first one..
We’ll have to see!
Rumor mill now says the diesel is getting axed for the 4xe, and I wouldn't hold my breath for the hurricane in '24
I could see it! Still waiting on a the official 2024 gladiator reveal
I really hope Jeep makes the Gladiator into a hybrid. I went to the LA car show during the end of 2022, I asked some of the jeep associates but they even said that a few ppl had asked the same question. I bought my wife a JL sahara at the end of 2020, and I even fell in love with it. So at one point I wanted to buy the Gladiator for myself, but my work commute increased so a hybrid would be a great addition. If they include recon package and one touch open top are also pretty cool additions.
That would be neat!
1 touch and the hurricane i6 would be sweet
YES!
Currently in a ram 1500 now, wanting to go to a gladiator but the one thing that holds me back is the powertrain. Diesels aren’t for me and the 3.6 though may be reliable it’s underpowered for 2023. My truck is 18yrs old and has more power. I won’t downgrade ever. I like the idea of a midsize truck because it’s a little lower and can reach over bed sides. I also have dreamed of owning a convertible sports car. So the gladiator kinda kills two birds with one stone. Jeep really dropped the ball by not offering the truck version with a v8 even a 5.7 offered through all trims. I don’t need 20k worth of options I just need a great powertrain on a base trim. That would’ve been a huge success and would’ve cut into Tacoma sales no doubt. That’s my rant for now but I swear this tti6 better be everything and a ball of wax or I will never buy another jeep product again. For a company that listens to there customers they don’t listen too well.
The 5.7 in the gladiator would have been perfect....
Wait for the 3.0 liter hurricane engine
3.6 is horrible
The problem with getting a v8 is the weight , for off-roading , IS NOT NECESSARY GET WITH THE PROGRAM ALREADY
@@kev7co the eco diesel weighs more than both hemis, so yea they don’t give af
I'd wait for a better engine option, and a tech refresh.
I'd be happy with a tech refresh
Just wait until all vehicles are priced more fairly the 2020s have been the years if outrageously high priced trucks and cars etc just ridiculous ! Not so long ago you could get a nice 3/4 base work truck for around just over 40 thousand
Right, crazy how high they have gotten
You should be able to get a Jeep from the factory with 37’s!
Yes you should!
You didn’t mention that the new gladiators will be hybrid or full electric.
Say what?
I would like to see the hamburger supercharger offered by MOPAR, to add on to a gladiator, or get as an already installed option.
That would be neat!
If you get the gladiator, what will happen to the JL?
I'm keeping my JL!
removable rear headrests! as well as a fully flat floor when the rear seats are removed.
Now that would be great!
@@DIRTROADCRED right, I mean I disassembled the rear seats to get them off. It was just unnecessarily a pain when they could be set up just like the fronts. And a flat floor would just require longer seat mounts, cause the room is there. It would be nice to add SIGNIFICANT bass without a massive seat lift.
If you want a jeep get one weight, buy something you want and enjoy life and have some fun in the end it’s just another vehicle, order one be excited about it build it and have some fun!!!!
Right on!
would you like to get some free wheel lights?
I just saw your email, thank you for the offer.
Have a 2021 JTR, I love it however the MPG is horrible for a v6. If you add bigger tires or anything that adds weight it gets even worse. I average around 12 -13 mpg after gearing to 5.13 & setting the computer for larger tires. My next vehicle will be an EV truck more than likely.
Have you changed out the gears? Should bring some of your mpg back and won’t feel as sluggish with the big tires.
@@danhornaday7319 I’ve geared to 5.13s
I was getting the same in mine
If they make a 2024 Jeep Gladiator HYBRID it will be the best vehicle of all time
That would be neat!
2024 two door Gladiator is what we really need
Ohhh nooo!!
Yes!
YES!!
If General Motor gladiator, Wrangler, and Wrangler Rubicon are identified year by years by the same cluster and infotainmente touchscreens, the interior of all of those 2023 gladiators or Rubicons Jeeps, most of people will think that these jeeps are not moderms vehicles because of they have the same 7-touchscreens in the cluster an center's console, that is to say that no 2023 Gladiator jeep or Rubicon can be compared to a 2023 Jeep Ford Bronco Raptor. That is why a 2023 Ford Branco Raptor is the most beautiful and capable jeep of all of time in this moment. The only negative part we can find in a 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor is that it can not give more than 15km by each gasoline galon consumpted, I hope Ford Motor Company be able to solve this problem without equipping a V8 in a 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor. This 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor will be able to have a consumption of one gasoline galon by each 33 kilometers and using the same gasoline galon in a 2023 Jeep Bronco Raptor, which has not yet been possible due to Ford engineers and or any engineer in world mechanics is prepared to, so to get this pourpose I think that Ford Motor Company should ask me for, in order to patentize this formule making more acceleration with less fuel or gasoline consumption. Do you know what I mean? Thank you. Dr. Luis Amador. Cel.: 1+829-554-3880. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Thanks for the comment!
Jeep must put a bigger factury radio screen
Maybe one day!
sky one touch would make me consider a Gladiator. Just not a fan of the way they look with the doors on and top down or off.
We'll have to see!
Nope, nope, and nope. I hope they never get rid of the analog gauges and actual buttons in lieu of a screen. I just traded my 2011 JK on a 2023 JT. The updates are apparent but the familiarity to my old rig are not just welcome, but iconic. Technology is great until it isn't, having actual gauges and buttons when a screen dies is imperative for those of us that actually go off road. Despite all the new features it still feels a lot like my 13 year old Jeep in a way that isn't lacking progress.
Don't want to see a full digital cluster I've seen to many of them glitch and freeze not a good thing to have if your going down the road and it's stuck at 40 or something sometimes less electronics is the better option
Interesting!
You may have said but where is Dan Cummins?
Paris, Kentucky. They ship country wide
I want a mojave with a front independent suspension. I believe just like myself there are so many people that love the look of the mojave and want to buy one but are worried about the handling on a day to day basis
That would be interesting!
No do not give into the ifs not worth it trust me
There is no where for the sky top to go on a gladiator. I have it on my JL and It wouldn’t make sense for the cloth to bunch up over the rear passengers heads obstructing their view. In that case the sun rider flip top is way less complicated and cheaper.
Good point, hopefully we will see this week!
A refresh wont cut it if it's to compete with the Ford Bronco.
We will have to see!
100% disagree with paddle shifters - if you want those buy a sports car. Besides, that might ruin the great audio control placement on the back of the steering wheel. Also not sure why you’d want to add more electronics with the full display cluster. Seems like adding expense without any real benefit, and then more costly repairs.
Paddle shifters make me feel like I'm in a sports car!
Will jeep make a 2 door gladiator in 2024/2025
Hard to say. Not sure if there would be enough interest in one. Would love to see it though.
The Gladiator , as well as the Wrangler V6 with twin turbo chargers should have been in for years, but for lack of vision of Jeep. Everyone would love that extra power our of the V6 . Also, put more fuel under these jeep products . Extra after market extended fuel tanks are able to make use of space better than the manufacturer? That makes no sense. These vehicles are made to go places where fuel isn’t and the little fuel tanks currently being put under these Jeeps , are ridiculously under capacity.
Good call!
That picture of a two door Gladiator with the side mounted spare reminds me of yrs ago tire mounts. The 2 door would be a great addition, with Hurricane eng, , Xtreme recon lift with factory 35’ and extra big fuel tank, man I’d be in heaven. I love the green pic Factory LED post lights or at least attach points for lights on windshield frame would also be great. In South Dakota or similar states , our roads aren’t lit and lighting the side of the road is really nice to avoid deer and elk jumping out or on a dead run .
I think that Jeep need to think out of the box with the Gladiator and add a three door ( suicide doors about 12" to 18")(like a Honda element back door) and make the pick-up bed shorter ( it need more storage inside the truck)
That would be really neat!
Shorter? It's already just 5 feet long! There was a rumor that they could build a stretched Wrangler, same length as a Gladiator. They even built one and took it to Moab.
