🔴Which factor do you believe has the biggest impact on the Jeep Gladiator's low sales?🤔 🏆All-New 2025 Nissan Frontier Wows Everybody WATCH HERE 👉 th-cam.com/video/6phkZppXEEE/w-d-xo.html
Here is the real reason why sales are down. Interest rates for car loans are through the roof. Yes I agree they are high priced but what truck isn't high priced? What other truck on the market can you remove the roof and doors? Which makes them a little more because of the extra reinforcements needed to the body. I believe death wobble mostly happens on lifted Jeeps.
I recently purchased a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Sport. Love it so far. Yes, it doesn't have all the luxuries of a lot of the trucks mentioned, but you must remember, it's a JEEP, not a truck. It's a jeep with a bed. I believe that's a plus. If I were looking for a luxury vehicle I would have bought one. Thing is I also own a Genesis. The vehicle I had prior to the Jeep, was an Infiniti QX56. I was looking for something different, and I feel I got just that. Their are some shortcomings. Price, yes. They are high priced, but hold their value very well. Yes, they are not gas efficient at all. Leg room is a bit tight as well. Ride far from smooth, especially the one I own. It has the larger after market tires, with pretty aggressive tread. All things said, yes there are shortcomings, but one thing that wasn't said, is that the engines are bad. That 3.6 V6 motor has been around for decades, and has been known to be very reliable. I admit, I wasn't even a standard Jeep fan, but the Gladiator attracted my attention immediately. Jeep buyers by Jeeps, because they love Jeeps. Not trucks.
I have the last of the Jk Wrangler. Last of the steel bodies. So far it's been reliable and easily the most fun and unique vehicle i have owned to date. I road trip it and crawl light technical with it and does both comfortably.
If they are looking for fuel economy that could be in a Prius, not in a Jeep made for off road, that´s the difference, they were born for different roads, in addition the Jeep is to modify and improve it, it´s not a disposable product, a Jeep is for Convert it into a war tank, it´s not a vehicle for racing, it´s for dominating difficult terrain, it´s not just a product to get from point A to Point B, it´s a vehicle with greater mechanical performance. I LOVE JEEP.
Though always a bold statement, a “Jeep truck” will always be kind of a novelty / niche item, hence I would have to agree with those who believe the concept of “most want one already own one” (including myself!) If in the event it ever gets canceled from the Jeep lineup it would still be a shame, but its “nicheyness” would certainly live on and Gladiators would begin to hold value as good examples become progressively more scarce.
I got VERY serious about getting one of these. I wanted one trim level over base. No matter what it was just way too much money. That’s the only reason I didn’t. The price.
You are way over-hyping the Gladiator's alleged short-comings and problem areas. I don't have a Gladiator, at least not yet, but I do have a 2012 Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon I factory ordered in January 2012. Some 12 years later, my Rubicon has been THE most reliable motor vehicle I've ever owned. (I'm 76; I've been driving since the age of 16 in 1964.) I plan to purchase a Gladiator "for my wife" later this year when the price on unsold 2024 models takes another dive. Andy McKane, 22 August 2024, Maunaloa, Hawaii.
Maybe cause i can't even fathom paying $20,000 for a new car, much less 38k starting. Ive got an "unreliable" diesel suburban that I'm currently at ~10k invested into. That's purchase, sound system, injection pump, front end and brake system rebuild, and other repairs. I've had four years of comes out to about $2,500. I love the gladiators but I'd have to own it for 16 years and 240,000 mi with zero issues, no tire replacements, no maintenance, no mods to break even. It makes zero financial sense to buy almost any car new.
This thing has bigger tires than almost all the other trucks unless you're talking about the Colorado AEV 🦬... I think they have 33s from the factory & it's only 1 MPG different than a Toyota Tacoma hybrid model on the highway for what this thing is ⛽ mileage is pretty damn good + hella good off-road just a long wheelbase you got to worry about. If you kno how to negotiate you can get 15-20K off a Rubicon!! U have the upper ✋ nowadays when u go into the dealer. If you don't know how to negotiate hell I would negotiate over the phone for you to help you get a better deal so you don't get ripped off I'll do it for people I don't even know cuz I don't like seeing people get fucked! Disgusting to me. People have to pay on these cars for at least 5-7 years
Sounds like you're not into Jeeps and everyone who wants a gladiator now has one and will not trade in after 2 years. Hope your channel matures into something good. 👍
But the reality is they're not selling fine... I think it's a badass ride especially considering it probably has bigger tires than most of the competition or at least as big as some of the heavy duty competition
Ive been watching the market and the rebates on them are crazy for being a jeep. I just got a willy at 54 after all rebates and discounts got it for 43. I was waiting for them to drop off in sales before getting one.
If I want to buy a truck I will buy a truck if I want to buy a Jeep I will buy a Jeep so why do I want to buy a crossover because the Jeep Gladiator cannot tow as much as a regular truck and with the longer wheelbase it is not as off-road friendly over obstacles as a short wheelbase regular Jeep so what's the point of buying one
It's not selling because it's a poor quality, high priced p.o.s.! The only manufacturer who builds more overpriced junk is rover. Is, was & always will be garbage.

The rust issue is the main reason.
@@tech_triumph price and no v8.
I love driving my '21 Willy's Jeep Gladiator with a manual transmission. I ordered it from the factory.
Trust me. The only engine option you want from Stellantis is the V6. The Eco Diesel was discontinued for a reason.
Here is the real reason why sales are down. Interest rates for car loans are through the roof. Yes I agree they are high priced but what truck isn't high priced? What other truck on the market can you remove the roof and doors? Which makes them a little more because of the extra reinforcements needed to the body.

True, the simple reason sales are slow is PRICING...not because they're not outstanding mid-size trucks.

I love mine. Fits my needs perfectly
On my 2nd gladiator. 2020 never gave me any issues. After 70k hard miles upgraded to a mojave 2024.
I bought a 2024 sport with tow package due to its lower price.

I like the old Cj jeeps they was the best if I could afford one thats what I would get my dad had a 79 jeep Cj5 Golden eagle when I was a kid
Bring back the cj's
Why no mention of the redesigned frontier
I have a 23 Mojave - love it. Period.

I don’t think you will be able to own any vehicle for 16 years without replacing tires
@@LukeBurl22 exactly my point.
I want a Mojave. Because of stellantis pricing, I will be purchasing a ZR2 colorado. I have never owned anything but a Mopar product.

Sound in a Gladiator is way better than a Wrangler. I got a '23 Rubicon at a deep discount and except for the shitty gas mileage, it's a great truck
I was looking at some and I was like no v-8
If you don't want to keep buying struts, buy a gladiator (enough said)
People can't afford gas prices,
The oil burner was junk .they can keep the turbo 4,
I'll take the v6 they can offer the straight 6 twin turbo for who wants it I don't need it.
I just bought a 2024 Gladiator Nighthawk and I’m in a Facebook group for them and in the group they are selling fine
But the reality is they're not selling fine... I think it's a badass ride especially considering it probably has bigger tires than most of the competition or at least as big as some of the heavy duty competition
2k only made nice 👍
I plan on buying one when my accidents falloff in March of 2025 I welcome the slow sale hoping I can get a great deal.
Ive been watching the market and the rebates on them are crazy for being a jeep. I just got a willy at 54 after all rebates and discounts got it for 43. I was waiting for them to drop off in sales before getting one.
The price along with high interest rates and high gas prices elections have consequences
For now, I have to wait for the 2025 models or buy the 2023 models for a cheaper price.
If I want to buy a truck I will buy a truck if I want to buy a Jeep I will buy a Jeep so why do I want to buy a crossover because the Jeep Gladiator cannot tow as much as a regular truck and with the longer wheelbase it is not as off-road friendly over obstacles as a short wheelbase regular Jeep so what's the point of buying one
to many models , wheel base , needs a larger bed smaller cab
Overpriced !!!!!
Agreed. Too many electronic features add to cost and unreliability. Perhaps a return to a very simple base model.
It's not selling because it's a poor quality, high priced p.o.s.! The only manufacturer who builds more overpriced junk is rover. Is, was & always will be garbage.
