Over 70K. LOL....theres always a sucker somewhere.
Yeah there is. I went to them to test drive a gladiator last year and they added 5k to every trim. After the test drive they asked me if I wanted to do paperwork and run nuumbers. I told them if they got rid of the 5k bs add on I would. They didn't, so I walked and got my gladiator last month at another local dealership.

Ok just saw that it's available, but why is jeep charging for colors like black, I definitely understand the extra charge for specialty colors.
Yeah I saw that on jeep.com. They've never charged for black or the greys before. Now they're charging $245 for anything but white. My guess is this is short lived (response for COVID-19? not sure).

Also search this site for Nacho, Gecko, and Sarge. Nacho is already on the November order sheet and Gecko and Sarge are supposed to follow in the coming months.

I wanted to buy a gladiator in the orange color but cant seem to find it. I tried to build one on the Jeep site but the color is not there. I see them on the road weekly here in Vegas yet cant find any at any dealers either. Anyone have info on what happened to the gladiator orange and if its coming back? Thanks so much!
Punk'n Orange was my first choice, but was discontinued very early this year and was very difficult to find from at least March 2020 on... [sniff sniff] ... :crying::crying:

I bought a black Gladiator Overland a month ago. I’d been driving Ford F-150 Platinums as my prior 3 or 4 vehicles in a row.

If I needed to tow heavy still, I’d have bought another full size pickup. I much, much prefer driving the Gladiator.

Zero issues, bone stock, but well equipped.

I'll be coming from 2013 f150. My wife's main concern is how comfortable they are on long trips.

My f150 had heating/cooling/massaging seats and she prefers the gladiator seats. Drove from central florida to Key largo (around 5 hours) and it was very comfy.

As to the OP. 22,500 miles on my Gladiator. ZERO issues. This is the best truck I have ever owned. If you test drove one and loved it and can afford it BUY!

I prefer black, dark reds, dark blues, not a fan of overly bright colors or grays, and I can't stand white(personally). I think I'm basic and simple but like to be different, .

For many of us Jeep are a lifestyle. Much like tattoos they can be painful sometimes but the ability to make them unique to you and your personality will keep you getting more. Buy the Gladiator, do some fun modifications and enjoy the hell out of it.

I came from a 2019 F150 crew cab. It is definitely smaller on the inside. However it is plenty big enough for my family of 4. The reason i went from the F150 is because this is the best all around truck you can get. I can tow what i need to, haul what i need to and offroad if i want to. Being able to take the top off is a game changer for me. I have had zero issues with mine.
