Tuscadero color available on Jeep Gladiator for the first time

[asrricklin]

I believe Bikini was a limited color for the 24 MY, probably late release.

I've seen it on the Wrangler for 24 but not Gladiator.

I'm in favor of any color that wasn't inspired by a mid-70s Soviet housing development. And I say this as the begrudging owner of a Sting-Gray truck (I really wanted Punk'n or Hydro Blue).

I agree. I didn't get to pick my color (granite crystal) and it's better than white or black in my opinion but I'm seriously thinking about wrapping it.

I'm seeing the same thing at Jeep.com; the fine print say contact your dealer for availability

Give me a break, you really think that anyone clicks on that little "1" and then goes down and reads...........?

I see plenty of Bikini color wranglers on the lot and the Jeep website had the same thing for that color. I think they just put this because they don't make it available in the online configurator and they have a limited number that they will allow to be ordered.

I'm not sure how many dealers will order inventory Gladiators in pink (probably will be less popular than the wrangler in pink), but when it was on the Wrangler, I did see in stock vehicles in the Dallas area so you could get one without having custom ordered it.

It will be like reign was on JL, or certain other colors. It will appear and dealers will see it in the normal color choices, but it will only be there for a short time. It won't be that they have to do some special custom thing - it will be right there with the other colors, but it will appear, and then a few weeks later, it will disappear. (we own a reign JLU - something like 2 months on the build and price, and the dealer order screen)

such a great color. Happy w/ my high velocity but wouldnt mind this :D

I checked with my dealer yesterday - Wrangler only. He tempered that with "at least at this time, who knows"
So no, not on Gladiator at this time. Yes, on Wrangler. Likely limited.

Still only the same 7 or whatever it is colors - no snazzberry, no pink, no sarge green, for Gladiator.

i was trying to find out what colors might be available should I win the lottery.

Uh oh. My wife is content with her Hydro Blue 21, says she plans to keep it a long time. But if they make a Tuscadero wrangler again my bank account is going to take a hit.

Right, dealers will see it, but they aren't putting it into the configurator on the Jeep website. That's why jeep just has a link to contact a dealer on the website with the disclaimer.
Also, dealer's get to place the orders for the vehicles that are on the lot because in theory they will know what sells best in their market. I wasn't trying to say that the dealer ordering system process was any different, just wondering how many are going to take the risk of ordering a pink truck that isn't specifically requested by a customer?
I may be wrong, but I would imagine that there's a much larger market for a pink Wrangler than for a pink Gladiator.

I must have been born decades too early - I still do click and read..........
OTOH, I used to watch Reading Rainbow with my sons, and we watched Sesame Street together and I really liked Oscar and Cookie monster!

Thanks for proving there's hope for the future.

What i want to know is what the fuck is this:

If that's what they had to do to add side impact airbags, i'm glad i got a gladiator before '24

Nope - that should be blue through the tinted back windows but the pink filter used to color the JT hit that as well.
The air bags are in the roll cage, above your left or right shoulder, depending on the seat you are sitting in. The difference means I can't use the small bags with velcro straps I got to hold sunglasses and other junk up on the bars above the door on the 24 because it's thicker because the air bag is in that bar.

As of yesterday, my dealer could order the Tuscadero JL/JLU from his dealer order screen - it was there as an official color.

My wife is extremely cautious with her reign JLU - she knows if anything happens, she'll never be able to have another one.
Don't even think of getting close to it with anything that might scratch it.

Jeep.ca doesn't even offer a 2024 Gladiator.....

Shhh! Nah, I keep nothing from her. Thanks Papa, I'll let her know, let her make the call.
