I should have taken pictures of our highways yesterday. Looks like someone painted them white.

It's always been that way in the Rustbelt, especially in Michigan!

My family is all from MI. I was born and raised in the SE. I’m always appalled at the rust I see on relatively new vehicles whenever I go up there. It’s wild.

Mweh, isn't your Gladiator a Greenie ?

Yeah, I haven't taken pics of the white all over it yet - and there's been little reason to drive lately (plus I was told I shouldn't drive while on the pain killers and so on for a few weeks) so my JT hasn't been out much. That's ok, I really racked up the miles with 8 trips to university hospitals.............

I hate when they salt so heavily, they do that here in Vermont as well.

The RAM TRX made its official comeback debut yesterday.

Curious if there a 392 Jeep gladiator debut around the corner?

Both trucks RAM debuted yesterday were 2027 models.

I would sort of expect the same from Jeep at this point if they do give us the 392 Gladiator we have been waiting on.

I hope they are back on the Hemi/ Hellcat the world mentality like they used to be as an entire company. Would mean we will get a V8 Gladiator finally... hopefully... Mainly because I have kept up with this thread since day 1 and its been a long, winding road of all kinds of topics until now

And it still is - that's a Ram full-size pickup truck, with a big front end and a history with the V8 - the Gladiator is a different animal. Trying to say it's coming to one because it's in a full size truck with a very different target, purpose and design, is, well.................

Just pointing out good things seem to be starting to finally be happening with at least one of the Brands.
Lets all try and think positive for the new year. LOL

Yes , I think what might be a good venture for Jeep is to actually make a Full-size Gladiator. That is the original size of a Gladiator from the 60's My Dads had a in-line 6 cylinder 260 tornado. His had a bazillion miles on it by the time He parked it. Even having had it rebuilt at one point and bored out . I think He told me .060 it had a 2 barrel holley Carburetor on it. His was a standard remember that it would occasionally jump out of 3rd so ya had to hold the stick forward. But the clutch always did work good. NO slave cylinder just a big return spring. This I believe it was more maintenance but held up better to sand and dust and mud.

Measure the track width of my JT and Ram, not much different. Inside the cab and bed the Ram wins . MPG is about the same. They both suck.

$100K base price before dealer gouging, they can keep it.

Still cheaper than a Raptor R. Prices are out of hand.

My 21' model TRX was $92K MSRP and I paid MSRP.
If I buy a 27' TRX model it will be at MSRP again.
I won't pay any dealer markup BS.

Still pretty pricy for sure.
Not 100% sure just how much I really want another one. LOL

Would much rather have a 392 V8 in a Mid-size truck.
Jeep really seems to be dragging their feet on this thing.
