It is human nature to make your complaints heard. Before Yelp or online reviews I recall a dealership sales manager say, "For every happy customer 1 or 2 friends may hear about that good experience. Every unhappy customer will tell everyone they know."
I also believe people think they are...
Congrats OP!!! Jeep/FCA dealerships in NorCal are usually the last to get anything new. I have yet to see the Gladiator in person! Also the sales guys are clueless when they will be in :headbang:
That is really vague and I don't think that is the case. He simply said, "...have to give Chevy some love..." then proceeds to praise the Jeep so I think you read more into it. Both are good trucks and believe the ZR2 will have better road manners but the JT will be much easier to modify into a...
ZR2 Bison looks like a real competitor until you find out it only has 31" tires and cost a ton as well as be too top heavy for 35s because of the tiny wheel wells.
Gladiator (Rubi) can handle 35s from factory and 37s with just a 2.5" lift. Sure larger tires are not everything but can't deny it...
Finally got pricing and my only gripe is the price of the optional 3-piece hardtop. It is much smaller than the JLU but basically the same price. Go figure! :facepalm:
The definition of implements of husbandry (IoH) is: A self-propelled or towed vehicle that is manufactured, designed or reconstructed to be used and that is exclusively used in the conduct of agricultural operations.
Hmmmm... put a rake in the back and you can drive with windshield down on...
Death wobble affects a very small percentage of JLs but it is def there and with enough being vocal about it finally made Jeep acknowledge the issue. Can hope any improvements to the JL transfers to the JT.
Designer had a fairly easy job since most of the JT exterior has not changed from the JL. I do like how the bed and rear fenders flow with the JL body lines. I wish the rear doors were bigger but I can understand why Jeep kept them interchangeable with the JLU.
Also pretty cool to see a guy at...
Will seem like forever for those of us waiting to get our hands on a JT.
Great to see the JT holding its own against a class leader! :like: This gives me more confidence my wait for the JT will be worth it.
Sounds like the dealership OP went to is already thinking about adding dealer markups! Not shocking since the same was done with the JL and I would just plan on waiting until the dust settles to get a fair price.
From what I am hearing its not the headroom that is the issue it is the sports bar just behind the front seats. I suppose if you are tall and you push the front seats all the way back I can see head room issues.
