2024 Gladiator Refresh/Update Model Changes Spotted Under Our Nose?!

[dos0711]

The one I liked about the JK was the “Since 1941” in the grab handle

At least now I know where my bed lights are on my ‘23 Mojave. ??? I’ve been clicking that button and haven’t seen anything up front change. I’ve been running with bed lights on and had no clue.

I might have done that too

At least you are man enough to admit it. ?

I'd take anything you see in this picture with a grain of salt. It also shows that the Jeep is traveling at 68 MPH at 2000 RPM and all in 4 low...

Not in 4 low... look at the shifter and the 2H on the dash.

I do like the blacked out steering wheel trim...

Maybe I am crazy, but I was looking through pictures of the 2024 Wrangler reveal, and I noticed something that caught my eye and may confirm the Gladiator is getting the same treatment. (I know that we all expect it, but this might confirm it) If you look at the headlight switch in all other 2024 Wrangler photos the button is one piece but here you can see it is two. Is one of those for the bed lights? Just good fun speculation here but I thought I'd see what y'all thought!

How is this Jeep doing 68mph??

I would say the biggest tell is the panel below the light switches. It's an image of the Wrangler and the Gladiator back to back. Some reason the image will not attach.

I'm pretty sure this is a 392. Perhaps the 392 has a use for the split switch that normal wranglers do not.
Reasons it is a 392 - Speedometer going to 200 instead of 120, and hood bulge.

For me the larger screen sounds appealing but i would need to see really how it's utilized. If i can see more content, better navigation between screens, better CarPlay integration, or things like that it would be tempting. If it is shorter but wider, and just new colors... well then that is just marketing and not worth an upgrade IMO.

The fact that it is now wireless CarPlay/Android Auto is nice... but not enough to make me want to trade.

Mine too. And mine is a 21

Yes, as someone else stated, that's the point the OP was making... that this photo must be of a Gladiator since that split switch is there - therefor it must be getting the updated/larger infotainment screen. However, if you look at the shifter, it has the Wrangler image on it, so I think it's a Wrangler. Maybe they've found a use for the split switch in the Wrangler (additional lighting in the cargo area?). Either way, I'd bet the Gladiator will be getting the same upgrades.

The center display also shows the transfer case and both axles locked at 68 mph.

I'm just glad it says "SPEEDOMETER" at the top of that center display in the gauge cluster, because otherwise, how in the world would you know what "68 MPH" meant??? ?

It’s in 4L because the display screen shows both diff lockers engaged. Crazy this thing can go that fast all locked up in 4L. I need to trade mine in

Yeah I realized that afterward and couldn't delete the comment. Honestly didn't think another thought about it.

I seen that... but the shifter and the transfer case display on the tach say otherwise! Maybe they have a Tazer installed...

It comes with AUX battery issues before it's even launched.
