I've owned many Wranglers and a couple Gladiators now. I learned to always buy them new with a hardtop! Ive added the Mopar panel inserts before which offer a little help. On my 2025 Gladiator Mojave, I decided to buy the Coverking full liner. Not as easy to install, but wow, what a difference...
There are deals everywhere on Gladiators. I just purchased my 2nd Mojave. I had a 2021, and now a 2025. They were taking $12,000 off sticker. If you can make the numbers work, buy a new one. The High Tide is a good package, too.
