  1. Signs the JT Market is Softening?

    Bronco is reported by a couple insiders to have a truck option as well with a removable top and doors. It will be so expensive though I doubt it impacts Gladiator sales. However, I could see the new Ram mid-size crew cab truck with IFS, luxury interior, 4x4 for 35k (starting price around 25k)...
  2. Signs the JT Market is Softening?

    Well the market has softened for Ranger XLTs. Ford is running serious rebates on them now. One can easily purchase at 10k off. A nearby dealer has a XLT Sport 4x4 with nav and all the safety goodies for under 29k. I'm guessing those who bought last year at 5k off are a little sick to see new...
  3. Why not buy a full size truck for the same price?

    I turn in the lease and rent a Gladiator for a weekend to see if its for you or not.
  4. Help me out here: Rubi shocks on max tow sport s

    as others have said, I suggest driving a Rubicon. But to be honest unless you switch the shocks, springs, and coils over you won’t be able to really know. Each trim level has varying combinations. I did notice the lift and more pronounced bounce/sway on the Rubicons over the Sport S max tows ive...
  5. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, PURCHASE DECISION

    Tim, You misread. I know the steering issue is across all trim levels. My implication is that if someone buys a JT regardless of trim level that does not have the wandering issue, I would not risk swapping axles, as the steering issues seem to be hitting around 25% of the people according to a...
  6. Help me out here: Rubi shocks on max tow sport s

    Wonder if Max Tow springs would work with Rubi fox shocks to keep the payload numbers up; not worried about the lift?
  7. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, PURCHASE DECISION

    Yea, different strokes for different folks. You are clearly handier with a wrench than I am. My plan is to buy a Sport S with Max Tow to get the payload, towing, cooling, and braking features I want, while keeping my warranty in tact. I would worry that making changes to the axles would end...
  8. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, PURCHASE DECISION

    I did read your posts but can’t remember exactly what features the overland has over the Sports S that you mentioned other than the leather seats and the 8”!monitor. Seems like it be easier to take the seats and larger monitor out of a Rubicon or Overland than it would be to swap axle, brakes...
  9. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, PURCHASE DECISION

    Your money and your choice, but I think the upgrades aren’t enough to justify the cost. You like the way your truck handles and drives, so enjoy it for the next year or so and see if you really need the extra capability. If you do and you really like the Gladiator sell yours and Get a sport s...
  10. Why not buy a full size truck for the same price?

    Tough choices. Going to throw some numbers at a glad today that’s been sitting on the lot for at least two months.
  11. Why not buy a full size truck for the same price?

    I'm still teetering, like daily flip flops between Sport S max-tow, 2020 Silverado w/Duramax, and 2020 Tacoma Off Road w/ 6' bed and LED headlights. Glad you got what you wanted.
  12. Max Tow Package Availability? Now a Max Payload thread

    I did a poll on this awhile back basically comparing the number of complaints between those with 4.10 and wider axles and 3.73 regular axles. The tally was roughly 25% complained of the issue and could not correct it with 20% having the 4.10/ wider axles. I used the gears because I figured some...
  13. Is there no power drivers seat available?

    Seats are very comfy. Armrest in rear middle seat only available on Overland and Rubicon trims with leather surface. No power seats.
  14. Hauling ATV in bed

    Na, the new Silverado short bed is actually 69" long. Looks like ATV would have fit and at min not had that much weight on tailgate. As far as midsizes go, the Taco and GM twins do have the 6' beds as well.
  15. M/T Gladiator vs M/T Tacoma

    You can look inside the front door frame to confirm.
  16. What's the likelihood of getting 6-7% below invoice on a gladiator sitting on a dealers lot?

    They will play you. Shoot 4k under MSRP and they will take it. Ask for Jorge at Classic in Denton. They don’t really do add ons there. Tint at most
  17. What's the likelihood of getting 6-7% below invoice on a gladiator sitting on a dealers lot?

    I think you can get between 4k and 5k off MSRP pretty easy. Lots of dealers on cars.com already have that discount. Some of the dealers here in the DFW area have 30 to 45 gladiators on their lots. Problems is what do you want, almost all of them are loaded Rubicons or Sport S without max tow.
  18. Those complaining about the steering... get the Fox Steering Stabilizer

    I’d guess wandering from side to side would wear the tires faster than going straight.
  19. Max Tow Package Availability? Now a Max Payload thread

    Was never available with Overland trim.
  20. Ribicon Wheels and Shocks on a Sport S

    Thanks. You answered my question. What I actually meant is that he should have kept the original ones he had in his truck. I plan to have the tire shop take mine out and put them on the take offs if they dont have them.
