If you were in Jeep Management, what changes would you make to the Gladiator?

[RShip]

So Stellantis announced some changes to a few positions in the Jeep Corporate offices. With that being said, some are saying there should be some changes made with the Gladiator. If you were the Director of Engineering and Design, what changes would you make. Or what do you think would make the Gladiator a better truck?

available 5.7 with a manual transmission

rubicon getting the full float axles like the jl wrangler gets

max tow gets full float axles, 5.7/auto, and wheels with the mojave offset, plus better cooling than the standard towing package and a unique grille (to aid cooling).

lower the MSRP on most trims/packages, obviously not the max tow for the additions made above.

Bring back a diesel and offer the Extreme Recon package in all trims.

 

[Camaroboi13]

5.7 and diesel. Wouldn’t change anything else. Maybe 35s standard.

 

[Mojave21]

A 35" tire option and it needs more power. If they don't add power, the price needs to come down as seen by the big discounts needed the past couple of years.

 

[Rusty PW]

This is going to be a long thread.

 

[4x4 Mule]

Lower pricing by at least 15%. A 5.7 engine option would be nice.

 

[ExpoGuy]

Like others have said, provide a 35" tire size option.
Different interior colors beside only black.
How about an improved oil cooler housing.

Actually listen to the customer base, analyse the numbers and make it happen.

I'll make what should be a very simple request -- print the vehicle specific GCWR number on the specs sticker in the door jamb. It's currently already done with the vehicle specific payload figure, in my opinion there's no good reason why the GCWR shouldn't be readily available as well for those that need to know their tow limits.

Get rid of the 3.6, make a inline straight 6 torque monster. Offer both Manuel and auto in the transmission. Lower the seat and add a bit more tilt. Change price entering around 30,000 and ^ and it would be golden

 

[GeneralMaximus]

A bare bones, offroad capable work truck. With a substantial price decrease to reflect it.

-Keep the diesel, or even a little larger one
-Offer a V8 gas option
-35" tire option
-Break apart the features/packages more so you can pick and choose your features better without paying $$$ for a whole bunch of foo foo stuff you didn't want to get the one feature.
-Offer a way to keep the 12V outlet instead of choosing a brake controller
-Make some features available that are obvious, ie: Useful Jeep things that something like a Tazer has to override to make possible
-Please don't make it an EV

Give the people what they want.
Healthy V8, we know it will fit.
Choice of gear ratios like the JL guys get.
Not impressed with the new overly complicated full floater, give us the option of Dana 60 crate axles from the factory with choice of ratio and a steelie/small tire option so we can bolt on our own package.
Bring back a real p/s pump and add hydroboost brakes.
Quit tying up all the options into packages, more a la carte.
Diesel. I would like to buy another JL and JT at some point and I can't bring myself to buy one with the cam muncher.

Please listen to the customer base. Choice of gear ratios, 5.7 at a realistic price. 35 inch tire option. The parts already exist ,there is no extra r&d cost, some "new" colors maybe inferno red or copperhead. We are sure others have colors they would like to see.
