2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave
I have enjoyed my JT Mojave, but always wanted more power than the 3.6 V6 delivered. For the past two months I have been researching either a Ram TRX or the 392 Rubicon. The price for a 392 Rubicon with the Recon package, and other options I wanted was the same as the price of a TRX with the options I wanted, so it was more a matter of what you got for your money, rather than how much they cost. I had stopped at several dealerships, and the local dealership had the best prices. They would sell either a 392 Rubicon or a TRX for MSRP, instead of adding on a $10,000 to $20,000 market adjustment like some dealers were trying to do.

Today I stopped to look at a red TRX at the local dealership. Red is my least favorite color, so I wasn't particularly interested in that one. But I found out that they had three other TRX's coming in the near future, and one was the Hydro Blue color I wanted, and had all the options I wanted as well. So then we sat down to talk price ...

I had bought my Gladiator from that dealership almost two years ago. They brought me a copy of the original purchase agreement, with the price I paid for it ($53,377), and said "that's what we'll give you for it on trade". The TRX MSRP was $85,790, and MSRP was the best deal I was going to get on a TRX, so I said "done deal". I signed the papers, and left them my Gladiator. When the 2022 TRX shows up I will have a Hydro Blue TRX with the Level 2 Equipment Group, Panoramic Sun Roof, TRX Cabon Fiber Package, Trailer Tow Group, and the Bed Utility Group that includes a spray in bed liner, and a number of other options.

Can't wait for it to get here.

But in the meantime I am without an off road vehicle, except for a UTV. Anyone want to go four wheeling? We'll take your vehicle.

That’s great, TRX would be my first choice right now of just about any new vehicle. Hope you enjoy it.

Awesome truck!! For some reason, I could not bring myself to take that thing off road paying that kind of money. My dealer had a Hydro Blue model on the show room floor when I was trading for my JTR. People were circling that thing like sharks.

Now a 392 Gladiator (please make this happen baby Jesus), I would drive the $%^& out of off road. :CWL:

UMMMMM... Who cares?....... Ok bye!

This is JeepGladiatorForum.com NOT... Hey everybody I decided to buy a different car.com

Go join their forum and tell all of them you got rid of a Gladiator. You might get several responses that just say.... "WHY....?"

30k is a lot to pay to go a little faster in a pickup truck, and say goodbye to the sunshine and the wind in your hair.

I guess I just don’t get the more power and more size means better crowd, unless they are one of the few who sincerely uses it.

Congrats, that's one hell of a truck and it's worth the $85k price tag. I just wasn't a fan of single digit MPG and wanted to get back into a jeep.

Still, I'd drive the shit out of a TRX!

Eighty-six thousand dollars for a flippin' pickup truck.
For that price it better come with a hooker!

Enjoy the new truck.

If the price is what you see when you see a TRX then you don’t get it, the technology and specialized parts and what is capable of are truly impressive.

I have bought a lot of different branded trucks and other vehicle and joined the respective forum for each. Never made a exit thread posting and just left. Nobody missed me and I am OK with that.
