Today I just puchased a 24 Gladiator sport with hardtop, slush mats, bed liner in black for $35,600!! So excited to pick it up in a few weeks. Has to get the recall done believe it or not in some states the recalls havent been done yet!
Jeep needs to replace those stock halogen lights. It was the only thing I disliked about my Gladiator. I installed a set of Oculus headlights and it's much better now. I'll be in the market for another Gladiator next year and I hope the Olive Drab/1941 color is still available. That color with the tan interior is amazing.
Nice color…but I still love my Anvil color. It should be noted the paint JEEP puts on the Wranglers and Gladiators are almost 2nd to none. The quality is absolutely fantastic!
@@DUNEATV Oh, "Sting Gray," though it was Steel Gray. I test-drove one back in 2021 in that color. Being new to "modern Jeeps" I spent the first part of the test drive trying to find where the power-window buttons were! -- BR
Agree the jeep paint is tough as nails. I can not believe how hard and tough the paint is. But then again doesn't surprise me. The build quality of the wrestler and gladiator is second to none. I will go to the grave saying it. Haters can hate. But jeep quality is pure top shelf and built to take abuse nothing else can hold up to.
@Jason-Samko did you hear about the 426K GM recall for the Allison 10 speed transmission? Rear wheels locking up needs a valve body replacement. Techs are saying they are on backorder 6mo to 1 yr.
Manufacturers need to get back to the days of more interesting colors. I'm tired of black, white, silver/grey, blue and red. I miss the days of bright orange, lime green, purple, gold and all the other awesome colors you used to find in the old days.
True...when I got my Gladiator (April 2021) the 3 colors I preferred were nowhere to be found in the state of Colorado (Pumpkin, Sage Green, Gobi) at that time and there were only 2 Gladiators (Rubicons) on the dealer's lot optioned as I wanted -- a black one and blue one (Hydro Blue Pearlcoat). Went with the blue. -- BR
Noticed the Gladiator dropped the standard blindspot monitoring like it had at the beginning of 24. You seemed to have not mentioned fathom blue pearl which was in the video, another new color. If you are looking to buy then talk with Madison
Yes, the 2-door Jeep Wranglers are probably the BEST for certain trails/mountain passes in Colorado. For example, I can't think of a BETTER vehicle to do scary (for me!) Black Bear Pass in than a 2-door Wrangler Rubicon (even stock) -- a bit more difficult with my longer-wheelbase Gladiator (especially on the very tight switchbacks). -- BR
Hey could you do a video about the future of gladiators with the new ceo etc? I want to buy one in the future but don’t know if I should wait for deals or buy soon?
They've had nice colors before...not so much now. Back in 2021 when I got my Gladiator (Rubi) I was trying to get it in Gobi, but none were to be found in that color even though it was supposed to be a current/available color. -- BR
Hi Jason. Big fan. Have been considering adding a receiver mounted winch on my ‘23 Gladiator Sport similar to what you have. Are you now more in favor of the front mounted winch like you showed in this video?
Some channels have been saying jeeps rams dodges will be lowering prices by 35%. That would be great. I guess I’ll keep waiting for my gladiator. Although the weight is killing me. Lol.
Hey Jason What is the biggest tire you can go with without regearing? If you find a slightly used Rubicon that has 37's and a lift that hasn't been regeared is that an issue?
37s fit but won't fully articulate without rubbing. And 37x11.50 would probably be OK with stick gears. A 37x12.50 would work but probably make you want to regear.
It’s extremely nice to finally see the ‘25s on lots… especially the JTs! Also have you seen that multiple sources are saying that Stallantis is looking at cutting MSRP by 25%?? Your thoughts ?? Will something like a price drop actually happen? It would be very interesting… As always great videos!!🤙
@jlautomotive6349 i have seen the tk garage video. I call bs in my opinion. But I have been wrong before. Will have to wait and see. But if I was a betting man I'd go all in on 35% price drop in 6 months not happening
If they're LEDs they sure are better. But you're right, standard/halogen ((?) lights on Jeeps are pretty dim -- but that applied to the standard Colorado ZR2 lights as well (at least the 2021 models) as they were bad also. LED is the way to go, even though they're usually a pricey option. Have LEDs on my Gladiator -- definitely bright -- and sometimes people flash me on the highway thinking I have my brights on. I don't! -- BR
Very true. But I can tell you from an owners perspective that you can change to halogen bulbs to led bulbs for 50 bucks and the difference is amazing. My led bulbs on my gladiator are better than the fsctory leds on out 4runner
Hey could you do a video about the future of gladiators with the new ceo etc? I want to buy one in the future but don’t know if I should wait for deals or buy soon? Love your videos keep up the amazing contnet
Have a couple videos on both subjects. On my channel search gladiator or jeep and they will pop right up. Also can browse thru my truck news Playlist and should a few of those not too far down the list
Jason, what are your thoughts on Subaru as a brand? They seem to be almost or even more reliable than Toyota to some people but don't know the history or reliablity of the boxer engines. Thanks Love your content!
I’m 67 years old and have owned trucks since 13 years old! I bought a Subaru outback several years ago and it’s been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned! really well put together. It does everything really well and the pricing is very fair.
Gorgeous till it brakes after 2 yrs 😂,dead wobble, trans issues,electrical issues etc. Jeeps these days are 100% Garbage...sorry EXPENSIVE Garbage, I keep driving my JEEP XJ made in USA not Mexico 😂
Thanks!
@@TH-camSouthernMan thank you tremendously! Greatly appreciated.
41 is a perfect color for a Gladiator hunting rig.
The 41 green is a really sweet color. Thanks for finding one and the video!
@@ronaldbarnes8302 sure is a sexy color
Thank you Jason for helping America come back!
Lol
I love how you say "Willis" properly. I learned that from JP magazine a long time ago, and no one believes me. 😅

I liked the Steel Gray color they used to have (2021)...reminded me of the Navy (Battleship Gray)!

@ yeah stingray will probably go down as the best color ever!

Yep a 2 door wrangler is a wicked little beast

Thought they halted production on the wrangler?
They did and held back production until the number of 24s available dropped.
I ❤❤❤ this color too but can not get all of the options I want with this color or any 25 for that matter.
I believe jeep just yesterday opened up more wrangler options. Like you can now get the v6 with auto as of yesterday
@Jason-Samko nice!! I will have to look. I don't want a turbo engine or a manual. Thanks!
Too bad Jeep didn’t have a bigger colour selection because that’s one of the things that make the brand worth buying - the colors.
They've had nice colors before...not so much now. Back in 2021 when I got my Gladiator (Rubi) I was trying to get it in Gobi, but none were to be found in that color even though it was supposed to be a current/available color.

When is the best time to trade our gladiators in? I know right now trade in value is tanking.

Got a gladiator in sting gray in 23 but def would have gotten 41 if that was an option

Is the metallic in the color 41?

No, it's a solid color.
Love m 2023 gladiator 1 years old o problem❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

shocking that they are only cloth at that price
Still overpriced. Was that a Sport S for $44? 🤦 Why do keepsaying the prices are good? The pricing is terrible.
Gorgeous till it brakes after 2 yrs 😂,dead wobble, trans issues,electrical issues etc. Jeeps these days are 100% Garbage...sorry EXPENSIVE Garbage, I keep driving my JEEP XJ made in USA not Mexico 😂
You can cover that thing in gold flake but it's still a garbage jeep not close to half those ridiculous prices
Rubicon, bumper with t!ts.
