Yeah...so they say. Ultimate Ears speakers can have up to 150 linked together from a single source...so this is nothing new, and you could get 4-6 decent UE speakers for the same price, but they wouldn’t have the cool “smart charging dock”
I did forget about Jeep Wave. Wasn’t a thing with my last 2 new Jeeps. If all other things are equal, but one dealer includes a lifetime warranty, then it may make a difference to a buyer. A dealer selling Gladiators under invoice is making up for it by charging you more on something else too...
One nifty feature is that, should you have more than one in a location, at least a couple can pair together for “surround sound”...so use that inverter to run a portable projector and watch some movies while camping.
The differentials are supposed to be the same as the Wrangler, and I mostly expect it to have a solid rear axle, but we should expect IFS. The later Bronco’s built a reputation with their TTB front axles as high-speed desert pre-runners...and the Raptor has built on that. If the customer base...
WELL....for newborns you are still most likely going to want to start with a pumpkin style car seat that locks into a base. Chicco, Graco, whatever...go to Buy Buy Baby and get the one that is the easiest for you to live with.
DO NOT get suckered into one of those package deals with a...
ACAD made the implication earlier, but just to be clear: nothing you do will change or increase the tow rating of a Gladiator....or any vehicle. The tow and load capacity are determined by highly regulated tests and are partially calculated using the gross vehicle weight. This is why trim...
Given that rumors coming from Ford indicate they started with 2 and 4 door Bronco models....but are now planning a 4 door truck Bronco as well, we could see some direct competition.
Yep. The Diono Radian models are great. I think the Recaro’s we have are about the same size and I slightly preferred them, but Recaro pulled out of the US market. I think we’ve gone to a Graco booster that folds in half, which makes it real easy to store out of the way when you need to move it.
It may be worth adding extra incentives offered by dealers. Those tacking on a lifetime warranty or free delivery or a year’s worth of oil changes...
There is a difference between MSRP and Invoice...you get that, right? 5% under invoice is roughly 10% under MSRP. I’m not asking you to treat a dealer like it’s a charity, I’m just saying that a dealer that responds to an email by offering to sell below MSRP is putting more on the line than you...
Well, for those in Northern Indiana, Southern Michigan, or nearby...LaPorte Jeep has my first order on the lot to sell. White Rubi, aux switch, cold Wx, manual, MT’s, bedlining, trail rail kit, premium soft top, tow package. Talk to Matt Magnuson, tell him I sent ya
Dealers are in business because they make money...I definitely understand trying to get the best deal possible, but until FCA starts to honor affiliate and employee pricing, invoice isn’t bad. You laughed at the dealer that said 5% was EP and EP isn’t available for the Gladiator, but what they...
Dealer texted the Good and Bad news last night: my Truck arrived! Also, no employee pricing yet...
So, we’re crunching numbers on trade and just how much he’s willing to discount. But, if no agreement is reached, he’ll have a White manual Rubi to sell and I’ll just wait to order Gobi when EP is...
My wife learned on her dad’s 1970 big block Challenger R/T convertible...
But prior to her, I taught several girls to drive manual in my old Honda. I think the Gladiator will be real easy to learn in, as the clutch and stick are really smooth. Best advise I can give is to find a big empty...
Well, the Weimaraner makes you guys just that much cooler. That said, my Weim will be riding in the back, so I’m going to need something taller than this. I’ll keep you in mind for a bumper, however. Skid plates? Flares? Would love to see lots of low-weight options.
I really hate the grill. I also don’t see the point of the light-bar...but I understand that they do have their place in the desert. Honestly though, this is far from the worst build that we’ll see in the long run. The price is what happens when you pay dealer labor rates on a bunch of bolt-on...
That’s not entirely accurate. Ford did NOT take bailout loans because they had mortgaged all of their property before the economic recession...but they DID accept $Millions in federal grants to make their factories more “environmentally friendly”. FCA paid back their bailout loans, and did so...
I’m so far removed from the world of small aircraft. Moved from instructing to corporate back in 2007, just as LSA’s became a thing...and I haven’t really kept up with all the new stuff out there. Got a buddy (former student) with an old 150, but we haven’t made time to take it up.
