Thanks man! Likewise! This forum is gonna be a whole different animal once we all actually have our trucks and am definitely looking forward to when that happens.
You’re right and I was unnecessarily rude. I initially thought the LE might be valuable in the long run, but after hearing you out I’ve lost hope of that! Only time will tell I guess. I am for sure one of the people who had no patience for waiting and jumped on the first chance to get a...
I beleive that's an Overland model.
Here's a link to some still photos: http://media.fcanorthamerica.com/image-gallery.do?method=adhoc&mid=1&imageIds=,47151,47150,47152,47153,47154
Some of us suckers are just happy to actually have one ordered. Feel free to let us know when you drive one off of the dealer lot!
Edit: Never-mind; enjoy that $45k Tundra if you ever get it.
Can you blame people for wishful thinking after we "over paid" for our trucks? Not a single person on this site has any clue how this stuff will play out.
The release, order, and shipment process has been non-standard from every other Jeep vehicle so you can't really look at history as an...
As someone who also ordered and LE and would love nothing more, just going off of the videos/pictures, I don't think so.
Worst case we're pleasantly surprised!
Looks like the info is confirmed: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/fca-press-release-all-new-2020-jeep%C2%AE-gladiator-begins-shipping-to-u-s-dealers.15475/
Some vindication (I was skeptical, too) : https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/fca-press-release-all-new-2020-jeep%C2%AE-gladiator-begins-shipping-to-u-s-dealers.15475/
Official FCA announcement:
April 12, 2019 , Toledo, Ohio - The all-new 2020 Jeep® Gladiator – the most capable midsize truck ever – began shipping to U.S. dealers from its home at the FCA US Toledo (Ohio) Assembly Complex on Friday, April 12, 2019. The Company invested $273 million to retool...
Hell I’m out at Pax next week and would make the drive down to Oceana and give you $5 of my dollars to see your JT if you get it in time! I can only look at pictures of these things for so long.
Your point is definitely valid when you put it that way. To me, I think everything they're doing is so fluid that its more of an "under promise, over deliver" situation. What I wouldn't be happy with is if they put dates out but then (inevitably) had to push them back.
I don't know if there's...
Then they'll wait. The only customer orders that have been possible are for the Launch Edition; as we're being told those are all spoken for, they can sit tight and dream of how it will look in their garage, forfeit the deposit and take a dealer allocation that shows up, or forfeit the deposit...
Again, a snapshot of 119 potential buyers on a website whose sole purpose is to allow Gladiator enthusiasts to exchange information and banter. How many of those votes are going to no shit drop the cash for a JT? How many of those people already changed their mind and snagged a launch edition...
I think it’s reasonable to say they want the consumer to know what they could possibly get. Would it be bad PR if they didn’t tell you at all about future colors until the day they were available? And since they’re offering 10 colors, I’d bet they only have the ability to simultaneously spray...
