They are running the Jeep brand right into the ground. They have killed value once again with over inventory for 24s just like they did with the 23s. They have inflated prices then drop them. Who even knows what msrp means anymore with this company ? I am surprised they don’t start saying or best offer On the window stickers,lol !! I believe Jeep will be gone or sold in the near future. Pretty sad to say the least. I love mine so far and will keep it at least until the 5/ 60,000 is up. Hell at this rate it isn’t worth anything on trade in any way. Not being political , the way this company is run kind of looks familiar don‘t it ?
Yep.

I feel genuinely bad for the guys who bought an upper trim new in like 2022 and now it’s worth 50% less 2 years later. Even for a new car, that’s a steep drop— but for a truck? Abysmal.

I love the crank windows on my 23. I'm okay with the dumb locks, but there are times I wish they were powered.
Are the mirrors powered? If not, does that mean no wiring harness to disconnect to get the doors off? That’s cool. 😎

They’re probably lighter, too.

My 1988 Wrangler didn't even HAVE door locks, ha. There was no key tumbler from the factory, they figured someone would just cut the soft top. Only had my stereo stolen once, lol

I believe it got dropped, disappointingly, during MY24 at some point midyear.

While rumors of Gladiator’s demise were very premature on this forum (as early as MY2021!) the removed options and pared down lineup don’t bode super great for the mode going forward.

No wonder the Gladiator is going to be put to rest,
And you have that straight from Stellantis?

You mean the things that come standard on every modern car on the road lol
There's your problem - these are NOT cars, they are a lifestyle vehicle. People buy them because they want Jeep for various reasons, luxury is likely at the bottom of that list.
I never expected a Jeep truck to even come close to my past trucks, and yet, I was pleasantly surprised - for a Jeep.
You're buying a bloody Jeep! What do you expect, AI driving and self parking included?
And these are Jeeps - aimed at very different abilities and features. They aren't a heavy-duty truck that can't make the same trails, they aren't a family "car".

So basically a 24 model with no improvements, just no $2k upcharge on the auto transmission?
Directly comparing a 2024 Mojave X to a 2025 with identical equipment - it's 4K less for the 2025. A bit more change than just no AT upcharge.

I was at over 69K MSRP last year, now the exact same thing is about 65K. That's a "decent" price adjustment.

I question where we know for a fact there are "no improvements" ............... we've yet to find out, really. Maybe, maybe not.

No dual door group or half door option anymore?
You cut what clearly doesn't sell, and costs more money "than it's worth". I'd bet the percentage of those sold of all JT purchases was a miniscule percentage.

That's why I unsubscribed................

Back in the 80s, I could open almost any domestically produced vehicle in seconds. I made copies of some of the tools the IHP troopers carried in their cars...... shhhhhh, don't tell 'em, I did it while servicing their vehicles. Still have one such tool hanging on the end of my tool box.
Basically, locks on most vehicles were worthless back then.

I don't see a mention of a manual transmission option???
My understanding is that it is gone... along with the ordering of the full time AWD. I am glad I got it on my 23. It would have been a deal breaker for me. You have to get the X version on Rubi's and Mojave's to get it is my understanding...

Maybe they removed it because of issues with the manuals before which you would think just fix the problems for the next model year but I guess it easier to remove it altogether.
I’m not sure how many models they have moved so far from the previous years till now, but I assume this is just managing the cost. They probably sell more automatics than manuals and since they don’t sell enough of the gladiator to make it worth their while, just cut it out all together.
