I don't understand. They've known the sales are slow for years, why not give us what we want? Better fuel efficiency, bed options, cab options, etc. They're releasing an awkward truck every year that only needs a couple tweaks to be wildly popular.
So like 63\64s as reliable as a toyota, that's a fraction. Seems I've been hearing about toyota having some pretty serious reliability issues lately, probably just a rumor though ehh 🍭
Most ppl that drive one of these for the first time have never owned or driven a Jeep, so have no clue what to expect. It’s a Jeep Wrangler with a truck bed, if you want a plush ride buy a unibody. I’m actually getting tired of people that expect trucks to be luxury family haulers
I don't know if the Gladiator was ever meant "to take over the world" (!) but in the mid-size truck segment, but the Gladiator Rubicon is the Top Dog on/off-road truck, period. The Mojave is only slightly less capable than the Rubicon. The Chevy Colorado ZR2 comes in a fairly distant second -- all the other garden-variety mid-size trucks (Ranger, Canyon, Colorado, Frontier, etc.) aren't even close. As for the Ranger Raptor, it's just a Vanity "look at me" Vehicle...of no practical use whatsoever. Ford never made a Bronco TRUCK so the Gladiator Rubicon has no direct competition from Ford, but the Ranger Raptor would compete more with the Mojave (maybe). As for a solid axle, that's the what Jeep owners want (not IS) and regardless of the solid axle it's very smooth-riding and seat-comfortable on the hwy. And no, it doesn't feel "out of place" on the why nor does it have "floaty steering." You must have driving some other truck in this video but only showed Gladiator images. ;-) "Jeep Wave" -- BR
Lowered the price? Rubicons are over $70k with some options. They're cool to look at but driving dynamics are terrible and they like an unload school bus.
These things are pushing $85,000 in my area. 😢 the dealers add “upgrades” that aren’t wanted.
Jeep knocked the Gladiator out of the park. Extremely capable and looks fantastic.
will never happen but would buy a 2-door gladiator without hesitation
good idea but I’m sure they’d sell about 20
It would be nice if they offered a 2 door…
I just got mine two days ago for about 68k I’m loving it so far and have already pushed it down some bumpy dirt roads and it handles extremely smooth

When I was shopping for these I couldn’t get over paying more money than an equivalent Tacoma, for something known to be a fraction as reliable

Get the Toyota (or a Ford)...unlike the Gladiator, the Toyota comes with Free Recalls. Enjoy! ;-)

That’s cap
I'd MUCH rather buy a Colorado ZR2
lots of good reasons to
Except it’s a GM, which are complete junk
My gladiator sport will get 26+ mpg on a 65mph highway and 21mpg at 75mph.
I wish I could say the same, wow. I’m lucky to get 19 with a tail wind

I got a truck ad, this app knows what I want
Cram the Hurricane engine in it, with it being a $3k option like the Ram and I will 100% order one
I love mine. It’s best with the doors off and the rear window out.
Jeeps are king in the rocks.

Fight for your right to party
Give me the new inline v6 and IFS on the Gladiator and it's insta buy.
They'll offer either an inline 6 or a V6, but they can't do an inline V6. Just isn't going to happen.;-)
You have to fight for your right to party
You're obviously not a jeep person, go buy a prius! 😅
Ugly and way overpriced with 10% reliability and dealer support! All facts! Cheers!
Nom you're all 100% BS...but clueless people like you are legion, and resistance is futile.

@@dec1slh this is false!
...says some who couldn't afford one anyway. Sour grapes for sure. What a buffoon...
Cap
Nope!
