About to finally join the Gladiator owners club! (Hopefully)

[patthefool]

Hey everyone!

I've been planning my next vehicle purchase for quite some time, and we were going to pull the trigger this year.

Due to an issue with one of our current cars, my plans have been greatly accelerated unfortunately. I'm currently in the process of figuring out if I can afford going the Gladiator route, or if I gotta go find a cheap used truck somewhere else to hold me over, further delaying the gladiator purchase.

I'm getting some pricing from places now, but curious if anyone had input on ensuring the best bang for my buck. My only real requirements are the Max Tow package, and I'd prefer it to be blue. I can compromise on color if needed for the right price.

I know dealers are basically throwing money at you off of MSRP. Anyone know what a typical/competitive amount is?

Would it be particularly hard to get the final financing amount under 40k?

Anything else I'm not thinking of to help me get into my gladiator?

Sorry if some of this is remedial, time is a bit of the essence now with the car issue.

Thanks everyone! And Hi!

Also, I'm in the triangle area if NC if that helps

You can find some crazy deals right now. Here is a blue one for $27k:

Don't be afraid to travel a bit. I went halfway across the country and saved $10k over buying locally. Minimum discount I would expect right now on a 2023 is $20k under MSRP. If you get lucky you can get a $30k discount like this dealer is offering. Shouldn't be difficult to get out the door for under $40k.

As someone who recently bought a 2024 Gladiator Sport S (Memorial Day), I can tell you that provided your credit is good and you have a little cash, they won't let you out the door until they meet your goal. At least here in Texas anyway. I ended up with payments that I was planning on buying a used truck with.

Edit: I also got about $3,000 worth of options waived.

All the options you can get from the factory will save you headaches in the future.
Front trail camera.
Aux switches.
Led lights
Get the Rubicon for the lockers and sway bar disco
Yes, load it up with everything and plan on keeping it forever, your last ICE.

Yeah, same here. Not sure what he's talking about $27k on a brand new Gladiator with an msrp of $54,600. That would be over 50% off.

The price was listed incorrectly I assume and they have since corrected it. Was showing $27k price yesterday. Too good to be true.

Here's another one though that is nearly $20k off msrp with a max tow package:

Basically, if I remember correctly, Rubicon X is just Rubicon with all the available packages. I don't have the list off hand of all of them
