Australia to be second largest Gladiator market

[smlobx]

I just read the article nd it seems that there are some discrepancies.
It states that you’ll get a 100L petrol tank which equates to over 26 US gallons. In the US we only get 22 gallons...If you do indeed get 26 gallons I would be changing mine out for the extra capacity.

Well ...

Totally agree! I think Jeep have lost me as a customer! I am now waiting to hear more about the Mustang V8 Ranger Raptor!

I'll be more interested what these guys have in Feb, they've had some good exclusives in the past.

I hope you’re right about maybe getting a bigger tank, but I wonder if someone has made a mathematical error and used the wrong conversion? 100 litres down under is 22 imperial gallons (4.5L/ gal). In the USA it’s just over 26 gal as you say (3.78L/ gal).

More importantly a mate just sent me a pic of gladiators on the wharf in NZ! Where it will cost about USD 130 to fill the tank....

Where did you get that photo? They looks right hand drive and in Australia?!

EDIT: This IS in Australia. There is a South Australia Rural Fire Truck in the background!

I reckon they would have been the ones used in the NZ launch....

There's a bunch of LHD models doing a lap around Aus basically to various dealers. Nothing really that special unfortunately because it STILL doesn't confirm anything for us.

So I sat in the LHD pre launch world tour vehicles, overland and rubicon.... as much as I was willing myself to love it... I just couldn’t and I’ll admit 99% of that is sticker price. It’s cool, it’s capable it’s over and above the top end price of anything on the market here.... rough coin is 70+ overland, 80+ rubicon and 90+ LE. I can buy a high end competitor vehicle add $20k of mods and still be under Jeep sticker....
I’m gutted...

Me too! I was worried Jeep would Price them to get them outta trouble here in Aus!

Thanks for the details ... I am now thinking I might wait for a 2 or 3 year old 2nd hand one ...

Think we were seeing Mercedes x class mk2 .... no more than 100 people will pay that coin, even for an admittedly good vehicle.... I’d say it’s 10k minimum overs across the range....

Yeah! I’d tend to agree with you on all of that!

 

[Gumidaka]

It'll be a real shame if its priced that high, as much as I love it its still just a dual cab ute at the end of the day and entering the huge dual cab Aus market at that price point is hard to fathom...
