I accidentally snagged my fender on a trailer in a tight boat ramp parking lot. It partially ripped the fender off. It only cost about 20$ in fastners to reattach. I think with the way the fenders stick out the cheap feeling construction can be seen as a benefit. It appears to be meant to break...
I don't see a photo but I will buy them if the rims are the normal Mojave rims and in good condition. I live in Apex so not to far away. I'm free on Sunday let me know.
I love manuals too. My WRX is a manual. But I am glad I bought the automatic on the gladiator. The 8 speed is a great transmission. And without it the towing capacity is crap. Sport S max tow here.
I tow a 2014 Axis A22. 4.5klb plus 1.5k trailer. This is with gas max tow. Brakes are good. Suspension can handle it. getting the load rolling is easy with 4.10 gears. Only minor complaint is acceleration. But I don’t feel the need to pass people when towing so works for me.
I wouldn't trade my gladiator either. But I need a bed and to be able to tow 7k lbs. I was just impressed with the package. Jeep has been alone in the wrangler segment for awhile. I think this will get interesting.
Just watched the above video and the black diamond package looks pretty great. No competition for the gladiator as it isn’t a truck. But the bronco is quite compelling vs wrangler imho.
I'm waiting patiently for this same deal to pop up closer to me. I thought TN isnt that far from NC/Raleigh. Then mapped it. 9 hrs :(.
Good luck with your sale!
I may be in the minority but I think driving with active noise cancelation is dangerous. It is important to be able to hear sirens and horns. Good noise cancelation works too good.
