I hate to blame Carlos Tavares for everything, but that guy prioritized cost-cutting measures and profits wherever he could. It's sad, but I can't think of one great thing he did for Stellantis.
I think the reduction from 4 to 3 was before Carlos and Stellantis taking over but yeah, I cannot think of anything positive that guy did at least for the end customer.
I'm old enough to remember the Chrysler Five Star Dealership program. I think that was the last time when customers were highly valued.
it is what it is
These leaks were known over a month ago, but it's good to hear it from TFL. Thanks for sharing.
The bit about "reinvesting funding to continue the long-term growth of the Jeep Gladiator" is nice to see. I definitely like the truck enough to buy another if they iterate sensibly.These leaks were known over a month ago, but it's good to hear it from TFL. Thanks for sharing.
Reminds me of when I watched a TFL video of him trying to explain the 4xe and how it worked and so on - they were SOOOOO LOST, I laughed at half of it. He had no clue about most of it.
I agree that smart improvements are needed if they plan to draw people to the Gladiator. For example, I was one of many who bought the Gladiator because of the diesel powertrain. Jeep definitely needs to offer something interesting, and they need to watch the price point.
If they had offered the diesel with the manual, that would have been my purchase this go around. Alas, my love for rowing gears won that battle.
Jeep hit a homerun when they launched the Gladiator but did very little to keep them competitive in the growing midsize truck market. I have faith that Bob Broderdorf, Tim Kuniskis, and Antonio Filosa will be making good decisions going forward.
OTAY Buckwheat!!!My sources say this is the next Jeep engine for the Gladiator -
That's been 1/3 of their sales. I doubt they kill it, there's a pretty enthusiastic group of owners out there.
