I've read elsewhere they've pushed production start back another month (MY22 JTs won't hit the streets until the 2022 calendar year). The NY Auto Show was expected to be the release date(s) of the order guides, but it was cancelled. The Texas Auto Show is the next one Stellantis recognizes, and...
Jeep finally tweeted something about the Gladiator!!!
...touting their JD Power IQS results as highest quality mid-size truck. Not completely nothing, but not at all what I was looking for.
I've noticed quite a few near-duplicates floating around. Even saw one called out one to the other in a thread recently. I'll start paying closer attention and deposit here for points!
As a nearby resident (I noticed you mentioned Bandimere elsewhere; I live back up behind it and south a ways), I Nth the suggestion to wait to see what you actually need. From the OP, it sounds like you're into a similar degree that I am (get to where I'm camping, do some work, not extreme rock...
When it gets here, it'll be MY first Jeep proper. My wife has a JKUR, and I drive it. I've had all manner of off road oriented vehicles in the past though. 4Runner, FJ40, K10, M1009 CUCV, and a handful of others. The JT is the first Jeep that checks all my boxes.
Texas may not be big, but it's the next one Stellantis has on their "virtual car show" site, so it's at least big enough to be on Jeep's radar. I don't have any expectations for anything big, but it seems they try to milk everything for all they can, and an event like a car show brings buzz...
Well... I think it's safe to say it's effectively the end of the day. Last day of what would have been the New York Auto Show. Zero announcements from the New York Auto Show that wasn't... Gladiator or any other model. Now we all get to sit and twiddle our thumbs for another... Three weeks and...
Not yet. That's why I'm so active in this thread. My wife has a JK (our only vehicle until I get my JT), and we're a little south of Conifer. My parents have a JL (in Evergreen), and they are about to replace their other car, so must like it better. I've driven it, and the only complaint I can...
In the stairwell down to our basement, there's a shelf around the perimeter where I keep car show trophies and toys of the carious vehicles I've had over the years. I've been given a LOT of toy cars over the years like this. I wouldn't call it ducking. I think it's a bit better than ducking...
I agree that it's a notable omission, but the flip side of that is that the VAST majority of Wrangler buyers have no idea what a solid axle is or why it's good/bad. In the forums, the off road crowd is vastly over represented relative to the actual owners of the vehicle. Most Wranglers get...
Oh yeah! That leak! The opening of the MY22 order books is why the NY Auto Show was "the one"! I'm not one to base decisions on anything without substance behind it, and that combined with previous years timelines is why I was so convinced the NY Auto Show was when we'd finally hear. I also...
I hope that's what we get. There has been all manner of speculation around myriad potential fun new things, but the only things I have (and have had for some time) any confidence in are these two things. I would LOVE a wireless charging pad to go with the wireless CarPlay, but that seems like...
I used to exclusively drive classic cars. Few to no safety features at all. I had to install seatbelts in a few of them that never had them from new. "Safer than a Harley" was one of the joke phrases to brush off the risk. I was a super duper safe driver. Can't control those around me though...
In the automotive media today: Bronco truck dead.

Last paragraph cites anemic sales on launch. From personal experience trying to buy a truck shortly after launch, this is almost certainly all down to shitty...

Different source. Cites anemic Gladiator sales on launch as a likely factor. That is 1000000000% shitty dealers bagging sales by marking up over MSRP. I tried to shop Gladiators when they first came out, but was...
