That's my point. "Special Editions" only sell limited numbers - they are new, old. Keep what makes a CORE Gladiator but keep it competitive and not let it get stale. Keep the CORE consumer coming back and the sales numbers consistent. I LOVE my ecodiesel but will I return to buy a new...
A BMW B58 engine edition like the Grenadier Quartermaster - smooth, extremely powerful and dependable - the engine of choice for "special Edition" vehicles 😉 My Gladiator has an Italian diesel and as a B58 engine owner - HELL YEAH!!!! The diesel was 4K - how much more can a B58 cost over the...
Current marketing for the Gladiator brings back negative memories of AMERICAN AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS from the 1970's (JEEP, too) - short-term planning (quarterly profits) and over-pricing leads to stagnant products which are only updated with MINOR updates and MAJOR Special Editions WITH COOL...
The quality of new autos is far, far better than the past. The 1st 10 new vehicles I bought starting in 1985, always had a running list of the items that needed to be addressed at the 1st service appointment. ALWAYS that 1st list of repair items at the 1st service. Or as in my 2nd new...

When I start my Gladiator it will many times sound an alarm and show, in the instrument cluster, "Front Sway Bar Disconnected!". Sometimes the warning goes away and sometimes it stays. Most times the warning comes at start-up, other times it starts warning while driving. Sometimes the...
Two things stand out for me: 1) It is a solid vehicle - no creaks or rattles and just a solid overall feeling 2) the coolest interior of any vehicle I have ever owned - bright white with matching hardtop - Fat Mat and headliner installed. I have owned many vehicles and I have lived in Florida...
I want to say thanks. Boy are these effective and blend right in. Considering there is an Eisenhower Silver Dollar somewhere under my console 🙄, the $20 is doable. I'm gonna leave that Silver Dollar under there as a "find" for someone who removes the console someday. 🇺🇸 Cheers
I purchased my 2023 Jeep Rubicon diesel 1 year ago today OTD for $62,965 (Dlr. $77,950). It's mostly loaded. It is a dependable, comfortable (relatively) and efficient mid-sized truck. The 3.0 Ecodiesel has performed flawlessly with excellent performance and impressive fuel economy. The...
