A 2 door extended cab Gladiator would be perfect.

I have told them repeatedly. I want a vehicle that doesn't have body panels that are oil canned and look like it was painted with a Windex spray bottle in a windstorm, right from the factory. I want one that doesn't have electrical codes regularly. I want one that has an electric back window on the hardtop like every other high end pickup on the market. But it doesn't matter. They never try to defend themselves, they just tell me they appreciate my feedback and strive to build great vehicles, blah, blah, blah. So how about just sell the Jeep brand to GM and let them put efficient small block LS engines with 8L80 transmissions in them. All of this is a waste of time. They don't care. Have a Merry Christmas regardless.Just a thought but…Many on here will know it, right now the Biggest Cheese at Stellantis is crafting a new direction for his errr…investment ..I guess its the right way to frame it.
And with this said; I believe it’s a good time to SPELL OUT CLEARLY what Jeep needs to do to the Gladiator, (and Wrangler) to get your money and earn their honey.
I’ll kick things off by saying;
1.Hurricane
2. Hurricane and
3. Hurricane. And
4. Full floater rear/high payload variant.
5. Stripped back, work/trades/resources utility variant trim level w steel 17’s.
6.reconsider not abandoning diesel
More paint colors from the 70’s and 80’s.
I'd love a flat fender and an old school mil-spec Power Wagon.They should only make them to 1941 specs. Everything else is total poseur.
Comparisons between British Leyland and STLA sadly are not that far fetched.
- That's just laziness at the factory and the crap I'd expect from British Leyland in 1972.)
I've been calling them American Leyland for a few years now.Comparisons between British Leyland and STLA sadly are not that far fetched.
LOL @ American Leyland.I've been calling them American Leyland for a few years now.
I honestly think Stellantis is in competition with Nissan-Mitsubishi for who can make the most prolific rental nugget.
What are the specific issues getting flagged wrt Hurricane six shooter?You don't want a hurricane.........ask a Mopar tech.
The more viable and reliable option is only a Hemi OR at HO version of the 2.0T with eTorque. I have the 2.0T eTorque in my JLUR and that thing is way better than the 3.6........instant torque and it's a rev happy SOB.
That’s exactly why I didn’t wheel mine much when I had it, instead I used a $300 Grand Cherokee and put 5K into it. I’m not liquid enough to beat the shit out of a $50K truck.I personally like the idea of a stripped down, no frills, I mean zero frills, limited model for the hardcores. But how many will they realistically sell? For every 100 Jeeps, how many actually see dirt, sand, and rocks? Not many. And I don't mean driving up a rural gravel driveway. I mean actual wheelin'. But who wants to pay 50 grand or more for something that they're immediately gonna modify and bash to pieces? They'll just buy a used one, yeah?
I want them to stuff a Renix 4.0 in it so everybody will stop whining about the 3.6……a week of that shit and the 3.6 will be like the fat girl at the party and your horny.Just a thought but…Many on here will know it, right now the Biggest Cheese at Stellantis is crafting a new direction for his errr…investment ..I guess its the right way to frame it.

So am I. I'd just like better fuel economy. It has plenty of power and zip for me.I'm happy with the 3.6.
It may help that both of mine have 4.1 diff gears and stock size tires.
Granted. Would it go harder than a Hurricane? It kind of is the 4.0 of the day no?I want them to stuff a Renix 4.0 in it so everybody will stop whining about the 3.6……a week of that shit and the 3.6 will be like the fat girl at the party and your horny.
