Do Wranglers Wave at Gladiators?

[mikesjt]

You guys that already have your Gladiators, do you get a Jeep wave from Wranglers?
I’d also like to hear from the Wrangler guys and see if you wave at Gladiators.
Ive seen a lot of comments on other social media from Wrangler guys talking about the Gladiator isn’t a real Jeep lol. Seems some people genuinely have their feelings hurt about this Gladiator What’s up with that? Be careful because you might accidentally wave at one. They look the same from the front

As a first time Jeep owner, the answer is an absolute yes. I have waved at more people the last three weeks than I have my entire life.

I get waved at a lot. Even by wranglers 4 lanes away on the other side of the highway.

When I drive my old Toyota FJ40 (basically, a reverse-engineered Jeep CJ), I get waved to a lot by Jeeps. But I don't return the gesture because I'm not technically driving a Jeep. Even head-on, between the big white headlight bezel and the large "TOYOTA" nameplate in the grille, it's fairly obvious this isn't a Jeep. So I guess its more of a wind in your hair lifestyle wave.

Regardless, I guess that will have to change when driving the Gladiator...

Absolutely! I wave, they wave, we all wave! Then there are the posers that don’t get the whole Jeep wave thing......they should be driving a Prius!

It's the Jeep wave. You wave at all Jeeps.

Wranglers wave at me and then stare a hole through my truck. :D

I get the waves just as often as I got them when I had my JK and JL Wranglers. I remember when the 4dr JKU's came out and you had a certain faction that thought they were not real Jeeps but that eventually soften over time.

Then there is the 25% rule of people just being assholes because they are.

I hope to buy a gladiator today, as long as i can turn off the ESS, as for the jeep wave. The kids today don't remember the J series that AMC made for about 30 years, now it"s back. I have been driving a wrangler before it was a wrangler, it was called a CJ7. The gladiator is a real jeep, yes, i will wave

I wave at them and they wave at me, unless they have an angry grill. I flip those off so they at least have a reason to be angry.

Kind of hit and miss for me.

In my Gladiator : I wave
In my JK : I wave
In my Grand Cherokee : No wave
In my Compass : No Wave

I wave and get waved at.

I just went to Destin FL and every Jeep I passed waved. I even wave to Jeeps when I am driving my wife’s van out of habit

In 1987 the CJ crowd thought the Wrangler with the square headlights wasn't a "real Jeep"..... Nothings changed. Wave & Get Waved!

I must admit I get waved at by the modified wranglers. We have too many people buying wranglers to drive to the shops with. They have no idea about proper etiquette and bloody wave at me ya bastards. When out wheeling I get waves and always wave back.
