I refuse to believe this is anything more than an error of omission on their part. No freaking way.Here's a screenshot of the Functional Packages on the Sport S via the ordering screen

The toughest and most reliable truck I ever owned was my 91’ Nissan D21 “Hard Body” with the 2.4 KA24E I4 engine. Mine was lifted with 32’s. At the time it was the strongest frame of any truck under 3/4 ton. They used a full boxed frame when everyone else was using C channel frames. Off road it was like a tractor. Nissan has always made a good truck. It’s for people who want a solid tool rather than a shiny object.So... I recently purchased a temporary vehicle to hold me over to a 2024 Gladiator 4xe that we now know isn't happening. It's a 2022 Nissan Frontier SV that had 30 miles on it... I paid $33,900. It's a 310 horsepower 4x4 with a crew cab, 6' bed with bed protection / power / lighting, power seats, automatic AC / heat, power everything else, adaptive cruise control, a touch screen with Android Auto, automatic high / low headlights, backup camera / sensors, towing package, etc. etc. etc. It's comfortable, durable, and reliable with zero squeaks or rattles. While the Nissan and Jeep are totally different vehicles, the announcement today gives me zero reason to pay nearly DOUBLE for a new Gladiator. If Jeep wants to maintain or increase marketshare they really need to do better than what was announced today. Just my 2 cents.
Unless it is all part of their plan to 'force' you into the rubicon X trim, which sadly seems to be their approach.
I was being facetious. I'm very familiar with full float vs partial float axles. I own several heavy duty pickups from a RAM 2500 to a Ford F-550 and I service everything I own including the Gladiator. My point is that running 37's or larger on Dana 44 axles, full float or not, is not a smart choice...especially if any off-road driving will be done. The D44 is a strong axle but its not a D60, and let's be honest...the Gladiator is not a lightweight vehicle.
I agree with this. It seems that a lot of display's nowadays is tacked on. It would not stop me from buying a new Gladiator if it had a V8 though. But the changes are not enough to trade mine in.
I wonder who will be the first to make those 12 way power seats fit into all the previous models. I know I would like them.
Those X packages - price? I am guessing $10k, lol!
"Why would you want one"
My coworker has the 4xe Wrangler and doesn't use any gas for 95% of his trips. I want one because most of my trips are less than 15 miles round trip. Hell, the ski resort is only 16 miles away. 4xe would be awesome for me.
Maybe research battery technology? Jeep has the worst battery technology out there. If we were comparing internet speeds, they are dial up. BTW, you do pay as you have to charge your vehicle at home. Off peak hours aren't bad, but you act like ~21 miles in the Wrangler 4xe is something to write home about. Guess what you get in the winter? Guess what you get with the AC running? Guess what you get with the heated seats and steering wheel on? Until you have lived with a 4xe, you should probably not discuss the pros/cons or speculate.
