If it is, it should be at least like $100 less. I have seen that for like $399 not that long ago. But isn't synthetic rope much better and safer? I remember many years ago when I was in my teens pulling a dune bike with a small winch onto a trailer and the ''rope" broke. Part of it wacked...
Are you inferring that if a kid on a bike accidently pulls in front of traffic, you hit the brakes, and you are 1,000 or more pounds overweight and the kid is in a wheelchair in the courtroom with a fractured spine ........ don't you think that Morgan and Morgan (or whatever law firm is in your...
Why not make it standard you ask? Well, there is a cost involved in the additional clutch system what makes the FT 4x4 work. Second, I am reading here that in some cases the FT system is less reliable than the PT system. That may equate to more warranty repair costs for Stellantis. Third, some...
How does Stellantis expect anyone looking to build a Gladiator to used the specs on their website?
For example, Towing Capacity (there are other things that also don't make sense but let's look at towing capacity).
When you do the "Display Model Comparison" thing and compare models it lists...
I stand corrected. Wow, Stellantis has done a 180 again in 2026 with the FT/PT game. I pulled up several X models (both Rubicon and Mojave) window stickers and yes, PT 4x4 is listed as standard equipment. I did see a couple of people here show their window stickers that had the FT 4x4 as a $795...
You may be correct. The ad is a bit vague when it says the inside track club people get the first dibs on the merchandise on Mon-Thur and everyone else gets it on Fri-Sun. But when looking at the ad, it just shows the price for inside track club members.
In any case, if you do any other...
I'm not a shill or anything for HF but they do have the Apex 12000 this week on their "Spring Black Friday Sale" for $479. It may be even less with their credit card offer. I know a lot of people here have them and I have one on my JTR. I am very pleased with mine, especially at the price.
The window sticker is for the 2022 model year. Yes, it used to be an option. Then, at least from 2024 onward (not sure about 2023), the FT systems only came on the X models. There was no FT option to purchase the FT system on the standard models. Likewise, there was no option to "downgrade" the...
Newbie, welcome to the world of Gladiator. At the time I purchased mine (Jan 2025, for a 2024 Rubicon Gladiator), I also had no idea and saw absolutely nothing in the Jeep website at the time regarding the 4x4 options or what comes on what models and what doesn't.
With the huge discounts at...
Wow, sorry to hear that, especially for a person like yourself used to moving around physically alot.
As you mentioned, it may be time to consider a lift in your garage. I know they can be pricey but at least you can get back to what you enjoy doing.
I'm in a somewhat similar situation with...
"Now that I can't lay under a vehicle, I'll likely let a lot of things go a lot longer........."
Personally, my problem isn't getting under the vehicle. It's getting back up!
You make a good point about the warranty, something that would typically be more limited if at all by many independents. At least with the dealer you do have some recourse if anything goes wrong.
Not to change the tone of the thread, but I think Active Safety is a very good feature that, if its not a huge expense, should be included on all Jeeps. I think it is a very good safety feature, at least cruising on highways when people are weaving in and out of traffic.
Now, back to your...
I've looked around quite a bit (I guess not enough) and still keep asking myself, "where's the beef?"
I've seen people mention Dana 44's but all Gladiators have them regardless of trim level. I see people mention the Mojave-look hood. I guess that is worth something if you don't like a regular...
I guess I am resurrecting an earlier thread since I was searching for information before commenting on the current GG thread.
But I don't understand what "choice" one has when purchasing a vehicle (JT, Wrangler, whatever) of what kind of windshield it has. From what I have ever seen, there is...
