This seems like a good deal thoughts?

[Mr.Wilson]

Thoughts? Ummmmmm $76,000 for a Gladiator is INSANE! Big discounts are there to make you feel warm and fuzzy thinking you’re actually getting a “deal”. It started overpriced to begin with. Like any of the other brand trucks. If we continue to buy highly over priced trucks they’ll just raise the prices higher and higher every year.

It's a diesel. That's a stout premium, but there's several differences in the truck. I'd love to find one, but I've also been driving a diesel (not Jeep) for 20 years and I'm kinda looking forward to fuel prices that aren't diesel prices!

I love diesel engines. I've had four 1 ton Cummins diesel powered trucks in a row (still have one), had a Mercedes 300D, and I have a John Deere 4x4 diesel tractor. That being said, I was not brave enough to dip my toe into that Ecodiesel engine after all the problems I have read about it.

Squeaky wheel is what most folks read about.
The cp4 pump has been an issue since it was released…. 100k-120k replace the pump has been fairly common for oh? 10-15 years now….

I think it’s harder for people to swallow the pill overall on most vehicles, therefore highlighting the few issues that a diesel has, makes them feel better about not paying a premium for torque. I won’t open the hybrid bag of bananas for those that be-bop around town and duck each other in hybrid jeeps…. But those looking for economy, torque and as much reliability as any other jeep

These are jeeps…. Square non-aerodynamic toys, that used to be built for a purpose “off road”….

$58k looks like one of the lowest priced far out editions I have seen.
If it meets your needs- do it. If the price tag is too much, find something else…. Nickel and dimeing $1-2k on something that can easily get $20k in modifications seems silly to me.
You’re shopping for a jeep… buy what you like and don’t look back. When you tear something up off road, don’t think about the $58k part…. Just the fun you had getting to that point….

This poped into my inbox from the dealership I bought my Mojave from late last year. This is a nice discount, I think.

Bought my 21 model in Dec of 21 and only gave 56k. They have raised the prices on these things astronomically!!

What is iKon (Optional) $1,295.00?

Probably a stupid tracker. It's probably already installed, hacked into the OBD port wires like mine was.

Aside from everything else, how can they charge 12% tax? Even in MD...

Dealers seem to frequently screw up the tax when I get a estimate too. If it's out of state, I'd rather just bring it in state and pay the tax at the DMV.
Be careful, looks like they may be charging you freight twice. It is always in the MSRP.

Customer Preferred Package 23D
what's that?

I was excited about the FarOut Edition but the only thing you get over a standard Rubicon is a FarOut badge on the tailgate. Other than that there is nothing else that makes it a limited edition or special. You can spec out or even find the exact same Rubicon on the lot with all the same features for less. Kind of ridiculous in my opinion. Price wise that is the cheapest I have seen on the FarOut edition. Around here they are around $62K.

Farout actually worse. No trail cam or adaptive cruise.

I got two quotes from two out of state dealers - MD and WA. The WA is just the negotiated price and some doc fees, MD price has doc fees but also includes my home state tax and registration (both of which are wrong amounts). Why is it the out of state dealer business to collect those? I can't get an explanation from them other that this is how they do things.

I live in Delaware but bought my last Gladiator in Maryland. If I was to speculate, they probably use a third party company that will handle the out of state registration and collect the taxes and fees for that. Their calculator maybe out of date, especially if you are not a near or bordering state they usually deal with for out of state customers.

If you can talk to whomever their actual title and registration person is, you may be able to purchase without paying the taxes there and they just give you a packet with the sales order and vehicle MSO title you will need to get the first state issued title.

If it has everything you want and it seems like a good deal to you (that you can afford), that’s all that matters. Nobody else on this forum is going to help you pay for it!

$1300 for a $100 tracker. Tell me you screw your customers without telling me you screw your customers.
