Interesting . . . I was looking and thinking . . . IF they Lowered that rear quarter panel (as in current G.C.) - that could be the new G.C. (WL ?). I see no resemblance to the wagoneer's of old ! ?
That's the current China-only Grand Commander. It's hideous.

Gladiators if the price is the same as JLs will be out of stock for a long while.


Their will be demo versions at the dealers and it will be order only probably for the rest of the year. If they sit on the lot, my guess is they will be gone before 24 hours is over.


It's all depending on that price.

Hi . . . looking forward to the "flood," as long as it's just people wanting a JT and not the "other kind".
Constructive . . . not destructive.
May I ask an uneducated mans question? Oh good thanks. I don't know who your "image" is of and it's driving me nuts, can you enlighten, and if you wish to also how you come to choose it ? Mine is self explanatory - it's me.
The founder of plywood!!! Here's the news blurb...

Immanuel Nobel the Younger (/noʊˈbɛl/; Swedish: [nʊˈbɛlː]; 24 March 1801 – 3 September 1872) was a Swedish engineer, architect, inventor and industrialist. He was the inventor of the rotary lathe used in plywood manufacturing. He was a member of the Nobel family and the father of Robert Nobel, Ludvig Nobel and Alfred Nobel. He also often experimented with nitroglycerin with his sons, which led to his son Emil Oskar Nobel's death because of an explosion at his father's factory Heleneborg in Stockholm in 1864.

Thank you for that . . . might I suggest using the new photo shown -- it's more "becoming" ! also didn't realize you too were "into" the plywood thing - wood working - or are you a revolving door with "your image" ? What next, a WWII show girl ? kidding ! Well, I learned something tonight.

That is a good idea and a better photo. But you have to admit, the artistic quality of the current one adds something else. So I'm keeping it!

Hey @Trickster , is that Truck in your avatar Plywood Rated? What is it, one of those motorcycle engine trucks you can swap a Busa motor into?
Plywood rated? Sure the boxes three sides fold down. It's a Kei vehicle, which is a story in itself.
Google Kei.
Made by Suzuki, Honda, Mitsubishi.
3 cylinders, 660cc's, 4wd, and importable to Canada when 15 yrs old.
Have one at work, actually not a bad lil "truck" for what it is.
Can be had here for $5000-10,000 CDN.

I will be one waiting on the diesel as well as the Gator paint. I'll get mine in 2026.
Diesel fuel here is %10 more than regular.
And with DEF, a problem in our cold winters. Frozen tanks.
Like the torque, but the issues seen with the EcoDiesel here out weigh the good.
Just like the 4 corner air suspension, not for cold weather climates.
