From what I've seen locally, there are some Sport S models shipping to dealers, but no base Sports. All of the Sport S's appear to be equipped with automatic transmission. Wondering if manual trannys will just be a special-order item, or if dealers will actually get some trucks with them in...

Vehicle registration and property tax(rates vary by city and county, amount based on appraised value of...

Thanks for the heads up. Went and took a look at this Gladiator yesterday after seeing your post. Dealership wasn't open (since they are closed on Sundays), and they had it locked up, so had to content myself with staring at it through a chain link fence. Been waiting 5 years to see Jeep's...
