Buying a gladiator in two weeks, still cant decide on the trim package ... Thoughts?

[jurfie]

In Canada it’s around $10,000 if you want the Overland and Rubicon fully loaded. I keep forgetting about the difference in price between U.S. and Canada.

Really? I just priced out the Overland and Rubicon with the same options I want, and the difference was $3,629 CAD. For that, I'd go with the Rubi.

So I went to the Jeep.ca site and the difference between an Overland and Rubicon base model is only $3000 (cad). Really only $2800 with the different discounts available. Surely any particular optional equipment you add to either model will be similarly priced - i.e. adding an automatic is the same $1750 for either trim.

Now if you're saying you have more options available to add on to the Rubicon (to make it even more "fully loaded",) well then that becomes a completely meaningless comparison.

Edit- Oops, didn't see Jurfie's post before I replied.

If you want to blow an extra $23k get the rubicon. You'll get some generic yet "upgraded" steel wheels and a sweet looking hood. Basically the sport and rubicon are the same jeep, minus the 4.10 gears, which you'll only need if you are towing your aunt flossy's mobile home. So for an extra $23,000 you get to have the prada of car badges "rubicon". After much research I just couldn't justify paying $63k for a loaded tits out rubicon. Paid 41k for an overland and tricked it out and it's a fraction of the price of a rubicon which does not have anything special in the engine department or body mods. WHY people insist on the rubicon and overpaying boggles the mind when 98% of jeep owners don't offroad. Waste of money and an ego circle jerk if u ask me

Overland is by far the best buy......IMO

@rhinomanj, since you're in TN, I recommend you check out this thread....

https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...p-to-8-under-invoice-on-factory-builds.34440/

I just looked at the Gupton web site as they are 75 miles from me and off MSRP for a Majave they are giving about 8% off of MSRP.....Not much of a deal

Even in Southern California, which is thought to be a pretty expensive market for cars, you can get 9.5% off MSRP.

My local dealer quoted me straight up MSRP to factory order. Nope.
I got 13.2% off MSRP from Gupton with exactly every option I wanted and none I didn't. I'm happy.

Did you contact them directly? If you ask for invoice pricing +tread lightly, financing you should get the 8% off INVOICE, not MSRP.

I bought my Gladiator at Sparta, Tn.....MSRP was 55,680 and Gave 6600.00 less.....

Congrats, still a good deal! I used to pass through Sparta all the time - Chattanooga to Smithville, small world.

Sorry but that feels like letting us spend your money. When I bought, I was strapped by my checkbook. Bought the perfect JT too. Decide on your own! That way you can't blame anyone else.

It came from their Web site and probably isn't the deepest deal....

They did tell me that was Employee pricing and another discount of an amount I cannot remember for buying a 2018
wrangler Sport two door from them....

If money is truly no object buy a Mojave. They're the prettiest and ride so smooth! I drove every model available and its hands down the best overall IMO.

The sticker on the Mojave I wanted was $60k. Do I have 60k to spend? Sure. Do I hate my money? Fuck no. I bought a sport with max tow for 33k and am currently tricking it out. I'll end up about 38k in and super stoked. Good luck with your choice!

All, I appreciate so much the help and advice. I picked the Overland up last night. Love that Snazzberry.

Thanks!!!!

Hey @rhinomanj , I've ordered a High Altitude trim Overland like this and I wonder if the blinker lights on the painted mirrors work? I haven't been able to find one in my area to go look at and not much is online showing them actually blinking.

Also, excellent color choice, looks really nice!

Thanks!

So, I just went out, sat in it, turned on the blinker, and only the front and back lights blink. Nothing on my mirrors blinked.
