Hey bangolia did I somehow loose a bet here? Why do I need to send 15 people some chilly beers? So they can make a toast to the delivery of their new Gladiator? Cheers in advance folks!!!

At least I don’t have to send 15 people a cold beer. Sorry @Jake

How is MotorTrend not going to get in trouble with FCA for this?! There is driving impressions in there nevermind the estimated pricing (which I'm guessing is a rounded number since no auto manufacturer does pricing that ends with 0's)! Is FCA in cahoots with MotorTrend and allowed this 'leak' for a 'Best Pickup of ____' award in the future? lol Or does MT just not give a &$%*?

All they had to do is change the last number on everything and there not leaking anything;)

They are one of the largest car and truck outlets. They were probably given special permissions.

It's in their print magazine. This actually happens all the time if you pay attention - the magazines want to push it out into their latest issue otherwise they have to wait a whole month, so they time it to hit newsstands right when the embargoed info is lifted but sometimes it gets pushed out a day or two in advance. I don't think it's intentional and obviously they are hoping not to break the embargo but it happens. There's obviously some disconnect between the print side and the creative side. In this case it was only a few hours beforehand so maybe FCA won't be so pissed.

I am pretty happy with the pricing if it's accurate.

If this is a printed version, would Motortrend have had the official pricing at the time they started printing? I don’t know timelines on those things. But I hope it is correct.

Fantastic news!

Got a quick Q though -- I was about to sign up for 'tread lightly', but looks like my company is an affiliate reward partner. Does that mean I'm guaranteed 1% below invoice and if so, does that stack with 1% from 'tread lightly' or does it cap at 1%?


*update* Just received my control number from FCA. :)

Just dropped off all my requests, order codes, tires sizes, rim specs, and paperwork to my dealer! Meeting set for Monday am hopefully to order as well as confirm how much more under my 1% TL pricing he will go since he is only 1/2 mile from my house!

What happened to the Rubicon Falken Wildpeak tires? I went online to build my Jeep (for the 15th time) and the Falkens are no longer listed as standard. Dang.
