I am lucky if I see 1 or 2 during a given week to/from/around home to work.

I live in a rural Florida county, where having a 4WD vehicle is required to reach adulthood, graduate school, start a family, and be considered a true american citizen.
I see plenty of trucks and Jeeps of various models/types/years but RARELY see another Gladiator. I do a reasonable amount of driving daily, and maybe see one a day. Are they that rare everywhere? Or is it just my area where Ford/Chevy is the popular choice ? I know it's new (and pricey), but I thought there would be more out there by now...

I still don’t see many in my part of eastern N.C. I see a few more at the coast when we’re down there a few times per month.

There aren’t many days when I don’t get a positive comment from someone about my Jeep.

I live in South Carolina and have seen maybe 4 in the last month. Am super amazed at all the ones that are used online for sale. Am not sure why!?!?!? My Gladiator has had no issues. But am noticing Air Conditioning is taking longer to cool once JT is warmed up.

Haven't seen any for 3 weeks now.
I could go another 2 or 3 weeks and not see any even though I do get around central Iowa quite a bit. There just aren't that many here.
Dealers have obviously sold some - there are very few on lots now, but they must have left the area!
All other Jeep models are everywhere. We can't go even 10 miles without seeing several - everything from the various Wrangler models, Compass, Grand Cherokees are big around here, but the JT? no.

Here in metro Orlando I see 3 or more every day.......I have 2 other ones right in my neighborhood
Like he said, but, now there like ants, all over the place, this is Orlando, cool and new car haven, I bet if you polled 3/4 of the people that own them they will be getting rid of them in the first 1-3 years, the way it is around here,

SW Florida ditto. It seems about the time I got mine, late July, suddenly I started seeing a lot more. It is due to new production after Covid shutdown ended.

Even on Marco Island I see a different one every week, it seems.

Northeastern PA, I am noticing a lot of them lately. Think the incentives they had towards the end/middle of summer started a chain reaction.

I bought my JT in December. I kept the seeing the same two Gladiators around town and nothing more. Then the Pandemic incentives hit. Now I'm seeing Gladiators all the over the place in Colorado.

Starting to see a lot more of them on the streets now in the Austin area.

Incentives are helping to move them.

More so then incentives I think dealers are being realistic about negotiating. JMHO.
