Value is where the market growth is right now ... think of the recent success of the Chevy Trax. Not a great time for Stellantis' strategy of prioritizing higher transaction prices, especially coupled with pretty lackluster interest rates compared to automakers with in-house financing like GM...

CR also includes things like user experience with infotainment systems in its "reliability" surveys. I think most of us think of reliability as a vehicle that gets me from point A to point B day in and day out with minimal interruption and repairs. The infotainment is the main reason Volvo ranks...

Welcome to the club. There are other threads on here about the same issue. Some members have suggested broken brake pad clips as the possible culprit but that hasn't been the case for me. I've had the issue since about 35k and I'm at 53k now. Dealer says the brake pads look fine and have plenty...

Ah, makes sense. I have a black hard top and no SelecTrac (wasn't an option in '20). My Mopar roll-up tonneau I bought through the dealer; not sure if you can still do that. It does suck that you have to go upmarket to get leather seats and the nice leather dash/stitching that was on the...

I have a 2020 Overland and I'm sad to see it's no longer an option. However, I'm not quite understanding why folks are saying you have to move up to a Rubicon X now to get equivalent features. I can build a Sport S and check a lot of options to get almost all the same features (including...

Stellantis may be the biggest automaker to make this decision so far but it won't be the last. I think the pandemic era forced even the most stubborn of industries to reassess how they do things. When the auto shows went away, brands like Jeep revealed the Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer/Grand...

In life nothing is certain except death, taxes, and this forum have a meltdown on a quarterly basis over Gladiator sales figures.

But wait, according to a lot of folks on this forum the Gladiator was going to be discontinued any moment. 😜

All things considered, these numbers aren't horrible. It still works out to about one Gladiator sold for every four Wranglers, which is about what'd I'd expect. Both are down due to interest rates, high prices, increased competition and so on. Plus, folks are "revenge spending" on travel, live...

If Stellantis is smart, the Dakota will be a unibody compact and aimed at the Ford Maverick. It will disappoint some but I think the midsize segment - Tacoma, Colorado, Canyon, Ranger, Ridgeline, Gladiator, Frontier - is about saturated.

You could really parse the use of "electrified" too. Jeep could simply do a mild hybrid aka "eTorque" with the 3.6 (like Stellantis does in the Ram) and then say the Gladiator is technically "electrified" by 2025. I doubt that though because why wait this long. I agree that something is in...

I mean 4xe is obviously coming since the full lineup will be electrified by 2025. Jim Morrison even confirmed it today. Not sure what the hold up is but maybe the engineers aren't quite happy with it on the JT yet. Regardless, 4xe and XR were not part of the recent mid-cycle refresh on the JL -...

Wow, a lot of disappointment and gloom and doom on this thread. I'm a little surprised by the reaction. Anyone paying attention should have anticipated that the 2024 Gladiator would essentially copy/paste the mid-cycle updates from the Wrangler. Hell, when it was unveiled in 2019 the Gladiator...

First, Gladiator sales aren't terrible relative to the segment - especially for a vehicle that hasn't seen significant updates in almost 4 years. The Tacoma is always going to blow everyone out of the water while the Ranger, Colorado, Gladiator, etc. fight over a smaller piece of the pie. The...

Several Overland owners on this forum, myself included, have put 295/70R18 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs on the stock Overland wheel. Comes out to about a 34" tire. Looks great and doesn't drive too stiff for a load range E tire. Those tires are also within the approved rim width for the stock...

It's what you'd expect based on the updated JL that was unveiled recently. I'm still just not a fan of the revised grill.

How constant is the noise when driving? I have a 2020 Overland with the 3.6 and I've had a similar experience but typically only when on a high-rise bridge with a steeper incline. I rarely, if ever, hear that diesel-like clatter otherwise. I actually think it's something rotational and not the...

The two are connected. Shortage of materials made new cars more expensive as well. In the current economic environment, consumers are more price sensitive. I think that explains the Grand Cherokee's sales decrease. Down 27 percent from the prior year even though it's a brand new model and now...

In addition to the hard top bolts, I'd check the windshield bolts. The one on the far left drivers side in my truck occasionally works itself lose and creates a rattle. After I tighten it, all's good.

And I'd say both Jeep and Volvo have had great success under their new ownership.
