Just kidding ladies and gents.

Just kidding ladies and gents. I decided on the black. I searched the entire state of Florida for a Firecracker Red with the black leather interior and there was only one which was at the same dealer I purchased from but had another $1000 in extras (hardtop headliner and body colored matching hardtop) that I didn't care for. I really grew fond of the black after having my mind set on the FC Red for at least the past 3 months. I realize the maintenance on the black will be a little more intense than it would be on the red but I really liked the black leather interior more than the tan leather and I wasn't prepared to wait for another custom build.
You had me there.:clap:

Thank god you were kidding. I mean man some people believe a JT may be a JL with a bed on it but at least it’s not a minivan with a bed on it. You had me.

Yea, the forum was a little boring tonight so I figured I would stoke the fire a bit. Man it's good to finally be driving a JT. It really is an awesome truck and I am so glad that I opted for the extra amenities. YOLO!

I didn't buy it...
By the way, that puppy looks proud of his new Gladiator!
Cheers!
He approved right away. Going to order the backseat cover that @WakesurfVT endorsed so that my little boy can ride with me.

LOL You totally got me man, well played :CWL:

I really was in shock about the Ridgeline - it is a nice truck I suppose but a unibody construction with a bed on a car basically... LOL You really got me going! hahaha

Please give us a 2nd review on that back seat cover when you get it. My good boy can’t wait to ride in mine, so I wanna be prepped when I take delivery. Congrats, she’s a beaut.

How big is the pup by the way for comparison? Mine’s 80 lbs on a good day

Was initially going to get a Sport S with max tow but after looking at a Rubicon with some of the same features mentioned decided on the Rubicon. No regrets here. Do I need all the extras, no but it's nice having them if needed.

Looking at your profession some here as I felt the TRAUMA when you said you purchased a HONDA PICKUP TRUCK LOL. That’s a really good looking GLADIATOR and all of my family lives in Oldsmar Fl which I visit and stay often. Right now my Gladiator is down there for the summer fun I had her trailered down from northern Virginia. The looks and responses are awesome and have never owned a vehicle with so much attention. Even the delivery company was blown away of all the attention when driving her down. People would take pictures and at each stop people would come up and ask all kinds of questions and take pictures. So congrats and happy Jeeping or should I do the wave :jk:.

LOL. I could understand someone saying "I bought a Colorado ZR2 instead," or something along those lines. But the Ridgeline was a head scratcher for sure. They are as far as you can get from a Gladiator while still being a (sort of) pickup.
