  1. Is it just me?

    I'm more thinking just in design cues. All around independent suspension and how heavy and expensive this thing is won't compare to the XJ in any way. But I'm hoping it will at least do well off road. So far the EV benchmark is Rivian for off road performance which leaves a lot of room for...
  2. Is it just me?

    Before I had my Gladiator, I had a 2000 Cherokee XJ. If I'm being honest, I think that was the pinnacle of Jeep, and the perfect vehicle, but a 23 year old vehicle with a job that requires lots of moving and my large family made it unrealistic for it to be a daily forever. That all said, these...
  3. Water Fording

    I've owned a handful of Jeeps, a couple Wranglers, couple XJs, and now my Gladiator. Its just a Jeep thing. The short front overhang doesn't catch it like other vehicles, so it goes straight up and out with the force of wide tires hitting the water at speed. It can be scary, but the faster you...
  4. Any news on Inline-6 Hurricane engine coming to Gladiator?

    They have already said they'll drop it as a crate motor. I'm content to wear out the 3.6L I have, then plug and play the crate engine. Especially since I have the manual, and don't want to get the mandatory automatic that would come with it.
  5. Any news on Inline-6 Hurricane engine coming to Gladiator?

    You get better torque, and the horsepower figures on those Hurricanes is nothing to sneeze at. V8s were good when car manufacturers couldn't figure out how to make power efficiently, but we're past that.
  6. JT a sales failure & doomed to same fate as the Scrambler?

    Ranger is 270, and no power figures are up for the next gen. Tacoma is 278, and no power figures are up for the next gen. Colorado/Canyon ranges 237 to 310. Frontier is at 310. The V6 Gladiator floats in at 285, which is not class leading, but is in the same ball park. If you think power is what...
  7. Scout to return via Volkswagen

    Pretty sure they're going to pursue the Land Rover/Rivian angle. I'm unsure of how truly off road worthy the things will be.
