A 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2 crew cab and short bed with a diesel and Midnight Special Edition package has an MSRP of $51,600 - the Gladiator should be able to compete at this price point.

My prediction for the entry price is based off the 2018 4 door Wrangler Sport which has starting price of $31,445. I think they absolutely have to be inline with the Toyota Tacoma TRD and the Colorado ZR2. If not, I think sales could be in trouble.

All I am saying is - if Jeep wants to really penetrate the mid-size market and make a profit with the their mid-size truck then they are going to need multiple offerings to compete in the same market as their competitors. And Jeep has the advantage of a rich heritage with successful trucks that...

Comparing the sales of the established Wrangler that just about has its own market niche with no competition to that of a mid-sized pickup is apples and oranges. If Jeep stays on a foolish track of making billions of dollars of investment to build one single cab configuration truck then my...

I agree about the diesel

Hopefully, they make BOTH of these trucks! If not the first year then soon...

I am willing to bet that the entry level Gladiator Sport - maybe even a regular cab - will start at a price of $34,995. The fully equipped Rubicon with all options tops out at $57,000.

Not to be argumentative but there's no way FCA sells 150k or even 100k per year of a single body mid-size truck. For all of 2017 the Tacoma - the perennial no. 1 selling mid-size truck sold just over 198,000 units - with three cab variations (crew, extended, and regular) and not just one. The...

Remember the most costly part of Jeep’s decision is over - they funded a whole new assembly line and have committed to a longer chassis. To maximize profit they need to offer a wide range of cabs and configurations to make deep and broad market penetration. There’s more coming - this is not...

I forgot about that - thanks for sharing....

Exactly!!!

Good point! What I am basically trying to say is that - a lot of money has been invested by Jeep in a whole new dedicated assembly line and I don't think they're going to limit themselves to building just one singular crew cab truck. They need to maximize the return on this investment so I think...

The decision to build a Jeep pickup is landmark event that could bode well for many exciting vehicles from Jeep. Deciding to build the chassis to accommodate a longer wheel base needed for a truck is the key. Now comes the cabs, Engineering cab variations at this point is easy and relatively...

Engineering cab variations at this point is easy and relatively inexpensive. Having followed this Jeep pickup topic for years the hard part engineering-wise was making the decision to convert the old section of the Toledo plant for manufacture of the pickup truck. They tried to develop a truck...

HAH - YES! Damn right! TextJ209 finally gets it! - At least someone does... I did the same thing with demanding that Jeep build a pickup truck - I've been harping on this in every forum I have been in since 2005 when the Gladiator concept was shown. Heck I even wrote Mike Manly a letter about...

Overland in the Jeep vernacular is a trim level and not a model name...

I have the 64 inch bed on my extended cab Ram Laramie 1500 and I can comfortably haul a full FACE cord with the wood slightly stacked above the edge of the bed rail. My truck also has the Ram boxes so my bed is somewhat constrained. As an aside - I also have the air suspension and it is a...

YES, YES, YES -- me too! How can anyone say a TRUCK - a TRUCK mind you with a 60 inch bed is a truck - it's a glorified open air station wagon. That said I do not begrudge those who want the crew cab with the shorter bed - have at it and I am happy that this configuration meets your need by all...

Not me - extended cab or I am going to wait until there is one....

I have been following this pickup since 2005 when the Gladiator concept was first shown - 13 years ago. Any chance they make the extended cab available like in the original concept?
