Back In A Gladiator...3rd time

[Hutmo]

Had a 2019 Sport S, traded it for a green Rubicon 2020 during covid and then ultimately trade the rubi for a BMW.

3 years and two other cars later, I am back in a Gladiator, A white 2024 Sport S Max Tow. Upgrading the to Rubicon sized tires and a cover for the bed. Not a real off roader so these will suffice. I missed the fact that I can make changes to make this thing what I want it to be.

The 2024 has color matched fenders and optional wheels that give it some pop.

Good to be here.

I did the same thing and am on my 3rd Gladiator now. Sold my 1st one to go to a Wrangler JLU. Then back to a Gladiator Mojave. My job changed so I had a lot of commuting. Switched to a Tesla, got bored and 6 months later went back to a Gladiator Rubicon. Decided it was worth the gas cost. My wife now used the Tesla for her commute. Hopefully I learned my lesson and will hood on to the Gladiator.

That does look sharp with the color match fenders and those wheels. Those are much nicer than the old sport s wheels. Max Tows are a nice package. With the lighter tires and 4.10s it probably is the quickest of the Gladiator options.

The fuel mileage is a funny thing. 20k miles a year is worst case at 15mpg 1300 gallons . Even at 4 bucks it's only 5200$ a year. But we have all been guilty of trading a great ride for a fuel miser. At a huge cost . I once traded a ram 1500 quad cab for a Corolla. I still shudder

As Jeep/Stellantis consider what to do for the future of Gladiators, I wish they would/could track metrics like this, 2 and 3 gladiator purchases by the same owners. Multiple repeat buyers (loyalty metrics) like this situation. Maybe Brand conversion like me (long time Toyota owner over to Jeep JL and JT). Sending out questionnaires to customers to find things out like this. Maybe they do and I’ve just never seen anything. I feel like they are solely focused on volume of sales itself, which yes I do understand that part as well is the biggest driver, but understanding a bigger picture would help in advertising and market segment gains.
