I'm being selfish, so what... Details details, don't bother me with details...
" Gee, California - hmmmmmm............ " Gotta sell those beach editions somewhere...
Your diatribe and data does explain why all the Texas and California/Florida oriented special models though...
You could have a point. The total available market (TAM) for jeep gladiators is a subset of other market niches. I really believe that the Gladiator appealed to a subset mostly of the mid size truck market and other jeep owners and those with an affinity to Jeeps. Part of the reason they sold...
My after market guy says do NOT use things like Armorall. He says they do as much damage as good over time because of certain chemicals... He had a few obscure company recommendations. I'll have to ask him again.
That will sell a few more and lead to some trade ins and a few new buyers, but they need more than that in the long run and the horrible gas mileage sure isn't going to get better with a 5.7 in it but the fun factor might at that...
The 3.6 is a good match for most people for a Gladiator. But...
I live in MT cancelled a trip to W. Yellowstone because... " Still a bit of snow lingering as winter winds down..." You sir are a master of understatement...
Room in back is NOT a reason to get a Gladiator. Now maybe a topper with the dogs in there would help considerably but would have its own issues. I have two big dogs.
You want room in back, get a Ram 1500, crew cab not anything bigger. They still have the 2012 Gen 2 cab on the 2500's/3500's...
I'd stick if I were you. LSD is the trade off if you don't have the full capabilities of a Rubicon or Mojave. IF...you four wheel in ernest, you are better off. If you four wheel occasionally maybe... The auto 4WD ought to take care of most thing imho.
YOU are one of the extremely few (the others are in the far south or southern CA) where I would say the full time 4WD is NOT needed. LIving in MT like I do or anywhere where roads get slick, it is a very nice thing to have. LImited slip should be mandatory at the very least... I have both on a...
Two places it is shown. ONE, on the "build sheet" you noted that NOW only a dealer can get and that is on one already built essentially so if you got an ignorant saleman even sales manager, they likely won't find it. The other place is on one sitting on a dealer lot and you can LOOK inside at...
I went into the PLC program in College in 1975. They tried hard to get me to go on a pilot path. I pointed out, I wore glasses and couldn't drive but they showed me their little models of the NEW F18's that were in the pipeline pushed real hard saying but you will be a pilot just in the back...
They used to put it on the Monroney. That's stupid to take it off when it's a selling point... https://www.jeep.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=1C6RJTEG0SL515620
Interesting... The "build sheet" website says it is NOT supporting the (2025) VIN for the one I grabbed. Two I...
Reddit sucks and gets suckier every day and the questions there are so off base, rudimentary or just plain stupid with trolls I don't even bother to reply and come back here where people at least seem to have a brain.
