What changes would you like to see on the next gladiator?

[vicsvx]

Cowl mounted mirrors.
1. Half doors that don't make me sell a leg...or better yet doors with frameless windows like the bronco!
2. Rubber floor option for all trims.
3. Lockers available without rubicon trim (most ppl replace lift and tires from rubi anyway).
4. I said it when I bought it... But a 4 or 5 piece hard top(makes removing the top easier all together or just remove the back window to keep shade for passengers or mix and match).
5. The 5.7 would have been a great option before I got the eco (love my eco tho).
6. Gator green to return.
7. Radio deck with rca inputs for amps/subs/speakers (with all the settings and options in modern day cars, keeping it simple to upgrade sound without buying 3k radio that may or may not work with everything and glitches (stinger) plus everything else).
8. Deadpedal would be nice from factory.
9. USB/USB c jacks in rear seat standard that don't connect to the radio and maybe one more run the center consol.
10. Usb jacks in the top dash would be great for all the cameras, GPS, phones.
11. More adjustments to both driver and passenger seats.
12. Oh it would be nice to have a button in the bed for the cargo lights

Love my gladi but so many things would be nice and easy changes from factory imo

Spare tire mounted to bed side. Turn signals back in the grill where they belong. A more retro look.

Rock solid engine
Better manual (stop chasing MPG!!!)

 

[bluemoon110]

Electric trailer brake included with Max Tow. Bed lights switch in bed. Better hood latches.

I'm happy with my '21 Gladiator. Things I would like though.
1-Increase the Fuel Capacity.
2-Locking Hood.
3-Locking Gas Door. I'm not sold on this, thieves may find another worse way to get the gas?
4-A Trailer Brake Controller included with the Towing Packages.
5-Order the Truck Myself, to avoid having to work with Dealers?
5- Eliminate the Crazy Expensive Destination Charge and Service. I can pick the truck up myself.
6-Possibly pick the Brand and Style of tire I want.

*Someone posted adding another click back on the Driver's seat for more leg room. I'll take that also!

Skid plates for the exhaust loop and crossover. Currently there are few aftermarket options to protect both at the same time, especially with a manual transmission and no lift. (That cross brace near the exhaust crossover isn't even there for a manual transmission, and it interferes with the Skid Row exhaust loop skid plate anyhow, and most of the engine skids say 2" lift.)

Mopar towing mirrors, with power adjust and heater.

Raise the lower edge of the dash near the driver, or move it further from the driver. For a short person with the seat moved close to the dash it's hard to use the clutch without hitting that lower edge.

There is nowhere to put a trailer brake controller near its connector under the dash. Make a wiring channel along the left side of the dash for the brake controller wire to get up to the top of the dash. So far I have it routed to come out the steering wheel adjustment bar's opening, but it'd be nice to get all the way to the top of the dash without exposed wires flopping around or cutting into the dash.

Accessible lower dash speakers. All they had to do was use a removable speaker grill and a lot of people would have had an easier time with speaker upgrades.

Get rid of ESS, thus maybe allowing a heavier flywheel for manual transmission. ( The theory is they may have used a light flywheel to make it easier on the starter. )

More space in the front footwells. In fact, I would like the entire cabin to be wider with narrower fenders to compensate, but of course others apparently like the narrow body for offroad use.

4.10 diffs for the regular tow package. And of course a better reverse gear on the manual trans. (The old NV4500 in some versions had a reverse with the same steep ratio as first.)

Maybe they've already taken care of this, but the website should show an example of each of the appearance decal packages. For 21 there was no picture of the retro graphics. How can they sell graphics without a picture? And adjust the retro graphic so that the back stripe is level with the front, even if it means trimming off the lower edge of the back stripe. More graphics options. Lots of potential there.

A cool feature would be for the truck tailgate to have a touch sensitive unlock option like the driver and passenger door. I'm always having to dig the key out of my pocket.

Agree 100 on the locking hood and trailer brake controller... Deople have me freaking out about others stealing my LED headlamps. And having to buy a brake controller kind of sucked.

One more click back on the driver’s seat.

Tougher windshield. Even with GG I’m on my second windshield already.

LED headlights standard. The halogens are sad by today’s standards.

freedom panels for the rear seats

dead pedal

USB in the top of the dash for accessories.

locking hood and gas door.

Faster windshield wipers!

probably it. No vehicle is perfect and I love this thing… just some details from driving it since October.

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?

A factory 4 inch lift kit that can be dealer installed !!

A suburban type of version. Not for me but it would likely push the jeep brand that much further.

Instead of the grand wagoneer some families can use a rugged utility vehicle with an enclosed cab and third row without spending 120,000$.

Even having a battery stolen would suck. I would just rather have the peace of mind of a locked hood. Jeep can keep the Traditional latches, just add an inside hood release also.

 

[Joe Gladiator]

couple simple features that the Ram has they could add to Jeeps.
power rear window slider
flip tow mirrors (i miss those)
incorporated rear camera to the handle(so no one can pull it off)

 

[LANGeek]

Develop a new clutch and manual gear to provide Max Towing.

 

[AleYeah]

I think those of y'all that actually already have JTs have captured the wants pretty well. For me still sitting on the sidelines with my JK for now, my list is:
* 5.7L. (LOL not gonna happen.)
* Half doors as a an "only doors" option for factory orders, not having to commit to dual doors. (Also probably an LOL not gonna happen.)
* Keep a manual transmission as an option. (Is this too much to ask?)
