  1. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    True as far as the placard goes, but once you modify the sport s with larger tires etc...(like most do) the real world capability is no different. Yes I know if you are pulled over the placard counts, but its not correct to think that its always accurate once the truck is modified. Honestly if...
  2. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    Agree 100% All of the option choices are nice for individualizing what you want- but I think its a bit overdone, probably intentionally so on the JT and serves to drive up the cost. It is also the reason why everytime I talk myself into just going Sport S max tow I end up back at the Rubicon. By...
  3. Signs the JT Market is Softening?

    Built is one thing- but sold is another. Q3 sales were just over 16,000. I hope I am wrong but I doubt if 100k total are sold by August. Just judging by the seemingly stagnant growing inventory and the fact that the people who were dying to buy one probably already did.
  4. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    I get the comfort and for sure the top off thing- but why buy the JT instead of the JL if the “truck” capability is so limited... Not saying there is no good use for the overland, but seems like it would be a very limited customer base compared to the percentage of inventory at alot of dealers...
  5. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    Not only are the options terrible on most Ive seen, but the ratio of trim levels seems off too. For most people that actually need a truck over a JL it seems like the Max Tow Sport S or the Rubicon are the only way to go for reasonable towing and payload. Some dealers here who have 25 on the lot...
  6. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    Your comments about the 1/2 tons are exactly what has held me back from buying one yet (and i bet alot of other ppl too). Always driven 1/2 ton and even a few 3/4 ton trucks- although I really dont require their work utility for my hunting fishing etc... The JT would certainly fit my needs, and...
  7. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    Any thoughts on 3rd quarter sales figures? 16,000 Gladiators. My initial thought was jeez thats not great, compared to almost 60k Wranglers. I mean come on Ram sold about that same number of promaster work vans, and dodge sold more challengers. Not to mention Toyotas impressive taco figure at...
  8. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    I really think alot of it is just price. Yes lots of trucks msrp at 60k or more these days- but you arent shopping very well if you pay remotely close to that. The Gladiator so far just hasnt had enough markdown to get into alot of peoples price range. Also I think at least locally a sizeable...
  9. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    I know sales are slow this time of year- and the rebates from other mfgs show it- or at least they are trying to get rid of the previous model year. I am more referring to seeing the same Gladiators sit on the lots for several months with no movement. I have to think these smaller dealers...
  10. Ballooning Inventory- sales slowing?

    Just curious- I plan to purchase a JT Rubicon this spring, and have therefore been researching and watching local dealers’ inventory for several months. It seems as though JT inventory is ballooning and slow to move off the dealer lots. Several local, relatively small dealers have 20-25...
  11. GATOR Gladiator JT Club

    These pics may be my deciding factor to not go Gator. Really like the gator in the shadows when it looks more like tank green, but not a fan at all in the sunlight. Seeing it next to the tank green really puts it in perspective. Just don't understand Jeep’s thoughts offering both Gator and Gobi...
  12. Any Full-Size Converts?

    The 36 gallon tank has to be my favorite feature on my F150. That and the keypad door lock which I love for hunting etc... But damn it is just so boring, not to mention seeing at least 20 others everyday on my 7 mile commute. I feel like its a pressed plastic box compared to my wife’s JLU, and...
  13. Any Full-Size Converts?

    Exactly what I plan to do if I get the gladiator. Will allow me to tow and carry kayaks or roof top tent Sounds like the ideal set up!
  14. Any Full-Size Converts?

    Thanks Tim! I also find myself driving around with an empty bed 90% of the time.
  15. Any Full-Size Converts?

    For those who have gone to a Gladiator from a full size truck- any opinions/ regrets/ should have done it sooner etc? Asking because my current lease is up within the next year and I really want a Gladiator for its off-road and top down features. But am concerned I may miss the space, comfort...
