Gladiator?

So.....

Has anyone looked at or drive the Gladiator yet? I've drien and owned a Jeep since 1985 and still have my 06 Commander which I love. If Jeep had this ready to go in 2017 when I bought my Tundra, I probably would be driving it right now, but they didnt, so I got the Tundra.

Drove it, and it is a NICE truck, but even with the potential of a convertible doors off Capable Jeep, a bit more compact vehicle and very cool/capable, I cant see getting out of my Tundra. Funny, because I really loved my Commander, and would test drive other vehicles, get back in my Jeep and was totally satisfied. That was untill about 6 months after buying the Tundra. I had not driven the Jeep in 6 months (backup family car). I got in it one day and compared to the Tundra did not like it that much. The overall feel of the Tundra is so good. I love the fit/finish/fee/ride of my Tundra. So NO Gladiator for me.... At least not right now (you know how it is) lol.

 

Believe @1UPPER is wanting one

 

I test drove one. MAYBE, if I were in the market for a midsize. Probably go with a Taco anyway. Jeeps are not on the most reliable list but if I wanted one, I'd buy a Rubicon because I already have a real truck.

 

I placed my order on my Jeep Gladiator Launch Edition back in April. I should see it in August or September. I ordered the Granite Crystal Metallic color and it’s a late release color.

First 2010 Jeep JK we had 200k miles on it. Current 2014 JK has 104k miles.

 

Do I see 40's in your future on that thing?

 

I haven’t decided yet. Either 37s, 38s or 40s. If I go 40s I’m going to super charge it, re gear it and possibly new axles.

40s on a 4 1/2” lift.

 

I just came from driving two Wranglers over 12 years. I would never go back to one as a daily driver. I loved it, but my Tundra has me now used to more room, less noise, more power, and plain old comfort.
