Understood. But for me, that would be fine. If I was anticipating regularly carrying 4 large-ish* people AND a trailer, I'd be looking at a full size pickup, not a mid size.
*The 4 people I am likely to be carrying are not going to come anywhere near to an 800# weight limit. And even that...
Really? FANTASTIC!
Quick, point me toward the one that has solid axles, factory lockers rear and front, and can fit 35" tires without any mods.
I'll wait...
Sheesh... People who think the main reason to buy a Wrangler/JT is "removable doors"... :CWL:
Good questions. However, a lot of people (such as myself) buy a pickup for the utility of the bed. I'll never get close to maxing out payload or trailering capacity, so if a "4xe Gladiator" had a little less towing and little less payload capacity, that would be just fine. I would think that...
They've already promised to reinstate and strengthen all the EPA regs, including CAFE numbers that the current admin rolled back. That cannot be good news for any big gas engine. I doubt it would happen in time to change any 2021 models, but it clearly could have severe impact for all future...
Problem is the Mojave is exactly as much as the Rubi (in some cases more), so why not get the extra hardware?
I'm kinda surprised Jeep doesn't offer something between Sport and Rubi/Moj that isn't just a tape & stripe special. There's what, like *nine* different JT models listed on the JT web...
So.. stickers and a smattering of options that are available on literally any other Gladiator?
Don't get me wrong -- I rather like the look of the Willys, but it would have been great if it would have had *something* special about it -- perhaps an option that current is only available on Rubi...
Finally! The Gladiator needs more bright colors; current choices are looking too much like 50 shades of gray...
Dark Black
Light Black
Black Metallic
Light Gray
Sting Gray
Silver
Dark Silver
on and on! :LOL:
Personally, I like Nacho much better than the current Wrangler HellaYella (which...
It doesn't matter, really. Like you, I drive what I like, regardless of what other people think. But it is interesting to see what others are doing, esp when it comes to vehicles that are going to be true Wrangler competitors.
I love Jeeps (I think this is Wrangler/JT number 6 or 7 in my...
The LEAST Jeep needs to do is offer an optional 35" wheel/tire/4.56 gear package, available on every JL/JT trim level. We all know they fit without mods -- there is no reason NOT to offer it except laziness/complacency on Jeep's part.
The Bronco's 35" Sasquatch tire package, available on every...
Agree on all counts. I like Brad and his videos.
I also think the new Bronco is going to be a great, capable SUV and strong competitor for the Wrangler. However, after the Bronco is finally released, you'll see wall-to-wall 200% saturation of Bronco YouTube videos as everyone tries to grab...
And now the fantastic GT350 Flat Plane crank motor is dead. :crying:
A V8 option in the Wrangler/Gladiator would make sense. But it would be better if it was a less specialized (read: uses regular gas) version, and not a $70,000+ "TRX Fighter" high end vehicle.
Totally agree. If I wanted a sporty car, I couldn't make a worse choice than a Gladiator with a hemi. I love sports cars, but have precisely ZERO interest in big 4x4 trucks with ultra-hipo engines. It's like putting a 426 in your forklift. Sure, it can be done, but really, you're battling...
Yup. That's why I said "the poster" and not nineball in my response to him.
Sounds like you made the right choice. I agree with you -- both are good, and I think honestly, I'd be happy with either. Was just objecting to the statement that the R would "ride poorly 99% of the time" as it...
Yes, I read that. Nothing in that article supported the statement that the Rubicon "rides poorly 99% of the time (in comparison to the Mojave)". Certain areas/terrains the Rubicon was smoother (usually the slower rockier sections), other times the Mojave was better (high speed runs over...
Is the ride of the Mojave really noticeably better than the Rubicon? It doesn't seem logical to me that shocks aimed at high speed desert running would be *softer* than shocks made for low-speed rock crawling, where articulation and droop are king.
All the tests and comparisons I've seen and...
Has any objective source performed any testing on these new GG windshields showing that they are indeed more chip/crack resistant than OEM Gladiator windshields?
Not arguing against the GG windshields -- I'd probably spring for one just on the possibility that it is better if the price...
Just a note: check your deductible settings on your insurance. Most, if not all, insurance companies have 1 deductible for Collision (accidents, etc.), and another deductible for Comprehensive (theft, fire, vandalism, falling objects, glass breakage) -- this is where your windshield is...
@Maximus-3 Did you decide not to sell the bed bar (the one shown in your avatar), or is it just not released yet?
Didn't see any mention of it on your website.
