I think this is a terrible direction for FCA and I think their priorities are messed up. Are they going to come out with a lowered version on bags next?

The gladiator is promoted as having the best in class tow ratings but still haven't come out with tow mirrors or a factory trailer brake controller and they're instead spending their time on this. What they need to be working on is a diesel with a better tow rating then the gas version.

Well the color matched bumper is fine.. Everything else is no good in my opinion. But if it boosts sales then it'll boost aftermarket so I am all for it.

Well, I ordered one of these yesterday, Snazzberry, diesel, and yes, the 20”s. I don’t plan to do any rock climbing, but I do enjoy trail rides, open country driving, and getting to remote lakes. These have the same Dana M210/M220 axle set-up as the Mojave. I will get to lift and tire mods when I am ready, meanwhile this is luxury Jeep.

I enjoy this level of trim on the highway, or 100 miles away from civilization. To each their own and I commend Jeep for making models for the broadest possible audience. If someone wants to ignore me or snob their nose at me because I don’t drive a Jeep that fits their perception of what a Jeep is, then so be it. This will not hurt my feeling at all. (I only have 1)

2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland High Altitude
Ran across a Facebook Ad (damn algorithm) for a white High Altitude last week and a few hours later my Ram Laramie Blackout was gone.

I personally liked all the higher end amenities like the camel diamond stitching, all painted exterior. I’m getting tons of compliments.

That being said, I do have an appointment this week for 3.5” Lift, 18x9 and 37’s so it’ll be a little mix of both worlds. I used to own a 2016 Rubicon that never saw any dirt. Mall Crawlers! Assemble.

Great Looking in White! Please post pics when your lift is complete. Thanks

Looks awesome! Are those the original wheels? The shadow is hiding the wheels. Thanks.

Dude, congrats on the Snazzberry High Altitude (HA). You don't have to explain why you chose a HA; it's a kick-ass JT, has a ton of capabilities, and looks great.
