Big Step Up from Renegade (PICS)

[Sean3565]

Nice! I did the same, kind of. I had (still have) a 2018 Renegade Latitude. When I went to get my Gladiator, my wife decided she wanted to keep the Renegade for herself and we traded in her 2015 Dart GT instead.

It was a smart move, tbh, since the Renegade currently has 55k miles and just had a new engine put in at 45k, thanks to the oil consumption recall.

Welcome!

Mine had 165000 miles and even though I had never had any issues other than routine maintenance, I was getting a little nervous.

Welcome!! Start thinking about how to get that hard top off, where to store it…. And those doors too!!! Gotta go NAKED when the weather gets nicer!

My hubby built a sweet hard top hoist setup in our garage. I bought a ‘door cart’ too. We don’t leave it naked for long…..If it’s calling for rain - we put it back together. Some folks get naked and leave it that way all summer.

Congrats! Love the color! It reminds me a bit of the Patriot Grey that was put on the 1949 Willys-Overland Jeep trucks. Sting Grey may be a bit darker its hard to tell from your pics. Im currently restoring a 49 Willys Jeep truck and Patriot Grey was the original color. Here is one like mine completely restored. I hope mine will look like this when Im done. As for coming out of a Renegade, you went from fun to awesome! I once owned a Renegade for a short while and I actually enjoyed that little SUV. However there is nothing like a JT! Welcome!

My Renegade was a daily driver for me and I'm already wondering if I should have held onto it since it had served me so well. I have a 2025 Toyota Camry which is an awesome car but I seemed to always be driving the Renegade. I'm just hoping that the Gladiator will be that comfy pair of jeans that I always reach for and fill the spot that the Renegade once filled.

Welcome fellow Sting-gray owner. Lots of information on the forum.
I'm usually a lurker and occasionally comment. 1st time Jeep owner so I have a lot to learn.
I drive it way more than I do my Challenger.

I have a 2025 Toyota Camry XSE and it has not been out of the garage since I got the Gladiator. I'm so excited to have a truck again after a year without one. Its so nice to have something that is a little different than you average truck. gets a lot of attention!
