Just a few small items I wish jeep would change for the gladiator facelift:

Better side mirrors (or offer factory tow mirrors)
Power rear sliding window on the hardtop
Dead pedal
Extra power port in the left cubby blank on the models without lockers or locate factory brake controller here
A material other than black vinyl on the armrest, which is hotter than hell with the top off
Addition of a keypad for entry like the bronco has
One faster speed for the windshield wipers
Front bench seat and column shift to make the cabin feel less cramped (OK, maybe not so small, but boy would it be nice!)

What would you like to see?

Aux switches moved to a more accessible location. Maybe some better seats. Some things like LED lights and back up warning, prox locks standard on all models. Power Plug and Light switch in the bed of the truck, Bed of the truck just maybe about an inch or so higher so I could get my cooler in under my trifold and still close it (LOL).

mirrors on the cowl like the bronco
modular hardtop (6 pieces maybe?) as optional
waterproof wrist-wearable activity key as optional. (not super fancy like the land rover one. just a plan band that works with prox locks and push button start)
windows have access to power when car is off, so you can roll windows down and up from the fob without installing a window control module
more in-bed tie downs without needing trailrail
armorlite as factory option
final drive ratio options the wrangler has. factory 4.88s would be sweet

I’d like to see and engine option of the 5.7L. It’s proven, plenty powerful and affordabe. No need for a 392. I’d like to see more of an ala-carte when ordering. My Willys is great but I’d like options from other models like leather or upgraded radio and lockers without all of the other trim options of a Rubicon. Color match top options on more vehicles. Same goes the other way, manual windows and manual trans on more vehicles. Jeep wheel options need to get better also.

Trailer brake controller, some proven engine with 325hp and 375 ft/lb, power rear window, a 2in lift kit that includes track bars, 35s, 17x9s, there should always be a good orange and a good yellow.

Agreed with more engine options. The 3.6 is not a good engine for a Jeep. It needs to have more torque and have it come in early...and no, not a diesel.
I never even considered more engine options because when they expand engine options they never seem to expand transmission options. Manual 5.7 though? Take my money

Two things :
1.)all Jeeps should have cowl mounted mirrors like the Bronco copied off older Jeeps.
2.) A lower number at bottom of sticker!

Id settle for a larger footwell so my right leg isnt always leaning on something.

Its a trend in jeeps but higher gearing would be cool. stock 4.56 and all that

as far as the mirrors and all...I wish they weren't so small but i would HATE for them to be mounted to the body. Looks extra dumb on the broncos IMO. But maybe a simply modular design where an owner could move them if they removed the doors.

As ide from those small things im beyond happy with the JT as it is. I think they knocked it out of the park with this thing.
