Unless I'm missing it, not a single physical prototype or design is being shown at Sema for the Gladiator. Are the main players (Leer, ARE, etc.) even at the show? It would be great to hear directly from them, if possible. @JAY

Was hoping to see the pre-production Gobi Stealth, too.

I’m disappointed as well. Especially since it was stated that ARE was working on one.

No one is going to production yet, I was talking to the western rep for ARE. said its not poplar enough yet. So I started digging. Here is a Link, I have it on good authority there going to be released prior to Christmas.

The low volume excuse is nonsense- I had a choice between 2 makes for my reg cab long box tundra back in 03- they only built around 8-10 thousand of those a year.

The LEER rep at the show in one interview I saw, said, the Gladiator was expected to be a low volume sale, but sales has exceeded their expectations, and they are developing a camper shell. That said, the bed is only 5-feet long, so not too many options there... I like some of the overland pop up tent builds, they take up a small amount of space and weight, and make into a useable sleeping space.
Cheers

Not sure a soft top would work for me but I'll keep an eye on it. I keep hearing ARE and Leer are "working on it", but I'm just surprised they are all so far behind that they didn't even have a prototype to show at SEMA. :facepalm:

First decent looking top to come out that doesn't break the bank gets my money.
