They don't like the price suppliers have given.

Thanks.

So it is something still in play if the costs align?

I just read the Ram expected to sell 100k hemi powered trucks this year. Assuming they are limited by production, with a take rate like that you’d think they’d want to offer than engine wherever that can.

Starting to think the only way you’ll be able to get a 5.7L is to swap it, Jeep just can’t help but make ‘halo’ vehicles.

Detroit Auto Show is happening right now.

Can see all the Hemi Gladiators and Chargers on display.

Jokes on us.

this is going to be the last twelve 4 twelve drop. They’ve just raided the left over blue tow hooks from the 4xe and are gong to throw a V8 sticker on it. It’s still undecided if they’ll actually add the engine.

Anything good there?

He will be overheating and begging for his 3.6L back within a month!







^ This is sarcasm

No.

Fancy Bronco, Cummins Power Wagon, not a lot really.

I think Stellantis and AMW have some sort of a Gentlmen's Business agreement. JEEP would steal a lot of their business if they were to produce Hemi optioned Gladiators. Why not do like Forld and Shelby did for the Shelby GTs, Shelby GT500s and other iterations.

So actually less room in the Gladiator back seat.

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Our gladiator is definitely more leg room than the 4xe wrangler we have. I can fit things in better when packing for camping than in the wrangler I believe it's more the angle of the seat.

On paper they supposedly have the same leg room, the wrangler has more hip room, and the gladiator more head room. The gladiator does have significantly more back seat room than most other midsize trucks (especially the previous gen Tacoma)
