The good news is from the doors forward it’s essentially a JL wrangler! Many of the first year gremlins should have been shaken out of the system by time they start building the Gladiator. And the frame supplier hopefully learned from their mistakes! Personally I don’t see Nearly as many issues with the gladiator that they had with the JL wrangler.
The JT and JLU share no components with the JKU and has been toted as an entirely new design, inside and out. With any new model from any manufacturer there will be issues and even for established models production problems can still exist. These are mass produced vehicles so there is a margin of error but Jeep has been ranked around middle of the pack and in line with Toyota for manufacturer issues per a given number of vehicles. All told, I am not too concerned with the JT as the JL has been out for some time allowing them to make adjustments to the production line and correct any recalls that have occurred.
I meant JLU not JKU. I changed it.
No problem. I do think most of the kinks will be worked out by the time the JT's start being delivered. I would love to say all of them will be, but that is living in a perfect world. As with most things we won't know until we know.
Just like waiting around for the big reveal. I’m driving a 2000 Cherokee so I’m ready for an upgrade. Just a little nervous about the new model. But like it’s been said above, it’s not a new front half so that’s a little reassuring. I just hope I can afford it. Hopefully the base sport model will be affordable.
Exact sentiments most of us have had for a long time. Affordability. If they price is right it will sell like crazy and be a massive hit.
