    I drive a gladiator, but will be first in line to say Jeep has lost their minds with their pricing. They are essentially pricing themselves out of the market and soon out of existence. I love my Gladiator, but even after an over 10K discount, it only felt like this is what it should have been priced at MSRP to begin with.

      Trucks start at the 2500/HD class. All light-duty pickups have become fashion accessories. They're essentially clutch purses for men, but that's an insult to clutches since those haul more cargo than most trucks that men buy.

    I have a 2014 jku. I mean it’s not a terrible vehicle, it rides like a damn 1800s wagon ,the 3.6 hasn’t broke yet, but I’ve replaced damn near every part aside from it. Rear main seal, Engine oil cooler, starter, alternator, axle bearings were shredding themselves, the anti theft systems Bugs out and won’t let it crank sometimes, etc. it’s left me stranded and scared on more than one occasion. Compared to my 2016 4runner which has never had work done aside from fluids and breaks. I just can’t recommend a Jeep at the price point where a 4runner is better and cheaper ( pre 2024 model)

  • @trashclip

    The only thing the Gladiator has over the other mid-sized trucks like the Tacoma and Ranger is that you can option a manual transmission with all the bells and whistles. The price is still horrendous.

Bring on the big fat discounts everyone has been talking about and the Mojave it’ll be. I don’t like that it needs 35” just to look ok.

      especially 2nd gear, makes a lot of noise and the gladiator accelerates so slow when trying to merge in traffic especially when when you floor it. the powertrain is an accident risk on road in this platform. it is a good engine and transmission overall but not in a vehicle of this weight/size

  • @DylBuilder1
    @DylBuilder1 3 месяца назад

    This right here is a perfect example of a truck that really isn’t meant for people who need a truck. It’s more of a cool toy than anything. 6k towing capacity for 71k, when you can get something like a ranger that tows 7500+ for 47k. This is Stellantis for ya.
    And let’s be honest, less than 15% of people who buy this are actually going to use it off-road.

    • @jonlosito2004
