Holy crap, the taco and ranger sales are hurting compared to the JT. Recession is a som-B!Compared to others, and relative to itself, it doesn’t appear as dismal as you’re implying OP. A link to the article would go a long way to make this a more engaging conversation (unless stirring the pot was the intention).

I’m gonna wait until winter and hopefully get a desperate dealer trying to sell a hellrasin challenger wide body scat.Love the Scat Pack idea!
I guess we don't have anything better to do on a Sunday afternoon.
Should we take bets on the "more powerful motor" idea, since they never do. I was on the Tacoma forum for years before I got the JTR, and that was the prediction every year. They still have an engine worse than the Pentastar.
Everyone's sales are down except for the vehicles that are new, or have been recently updated like the Frontier. I bet on the Ford, Chevy, Nissan (Titan) forums, someone is pulling their chains too.

Hellraisin is a great color. I have seen it on a Charger WB but not a Challenger standard or WB. Good luck and have fun in it if you get one.
Is the pentastar really better than the Tacoma engine?
All speculation on the reporter's part. I assume because of towing, the Gladiator is not slated for an EV, but a PHEV might be an option, since everyone is speculating.
Well, it's better in my opinion. I've had five Tacomas from Gen2 to Gen3, and the Tacoma engine/AT is a dog. I bought one and traded it in on a MT TRDPro the next year, that was better, but the JTR MT is better still, particularly off road and crawling - no question. I've been driving 4X4s since 1968, and I'd put my JTR MT in the top 2 or 3 - number one was my 73 CJ-5 with the granny 1st gear, but then the wheelbase was much smaller. I bought it in 73, by the way, for $3500 new. The other contender was a M38-A1 I got as surplus in 1968 just after high school.
Right, the most costly part is the tooling and R&D and it's all done. The only justification I could see is if it were to be more cost effective to use the production line for another model or just churn out more Wranglers instead. And I imagine the profit margins are similar on those
