So odd...thinking maybe the price still has something to do with it? Well, when they need to move the Gladiators off the lot to make room for the new MY and prices come down, maybe we'll see an influx.
The local dealers are down to a bare handful of Gladiator stock, so not much inventory reduction.

I have never seen a Gladiator on the street. Never.
When i was on vacation in Austria in August, we passed a Jeep dealer who had a Granite Crystal in the show room, so i had a short look at it. This was about 2 months after i ordered our Overland…

In OC and I see them regularly. Funny enough, about a third of the time it's an older woman driving it.

I have a running roster in my head of the local ones, including distinguishing dents, stickers, etc. My wife thinks (knows) I'm crazy. But I've always kinda done that with vehicles I like.

I think all the JT's you all can't find are in southern ID, there must be 5000 of them here. I see one, two, four, seven some time's a day running around.

Stopped counting in NE Florida. . . .on the street.

Not much of any vehicle in the woods. We like to do on the wk days. Less sand blasters then.

See plenty w/ canoes or kayaks on top headed to the many springs in the area.

Spent a day in Denver last weekend to pick up my hardtop and saw a BUNCH of them around. Nothing up here in Montana, though. I may have the only one for a few hundred miles! :-D

Wranger JL 2 Door, Gladiator 80th
Maybe its just a local thing or the demographic, but I have seen 5 of us parked at my gym.
I dont live in a very busy/well developed area either.
I don't know any of the others, nor have I talked with them.

I have been meaning to get a photo of the parking lot.
When we are all there, I would say there are more Gladiators than any other type of vehicle parked there.
Its pretty neat too that none of them are even similar, different trims and colors.

FWIW I have NEVER seen 5 wranglers there at any one time as I do drive my Wrangler there too.
Maybe 4 tops, but even then its a mix of 2 and 4 doors, JKs and JLs mostly.
Ok, caught 6 of us at the gym tonight, and there are 2 others I have seen there before as well, so 8 of us now.

Not a Wrangler to be found (who says they are more popular ;))

Quite a diversity too.

Black Overland and Blue Willys in the background and the White Rubicon =3

Many trips from Sacramento to Reno sometimes my wife and I will see 8 or 10 Glads the next time we will only see 1. The chip shortage has a lot to do with sales. I could care less I have had many many F150s and F250s but I still love my Sport S

I know in my small town of 3k people there are no less than 7 gladiators. I was impressed with those numbers.
