Gladiator on order
372 seems way too low to be correct but it's possible considering the circumstances surrounding Gecko.
  • Up until orders for the JLs opened up nobody was even sure that Gecko was anything more than a rumor. Gecko JT orders opened up months after the model year is usually ended.
  • Orders closed before they started manufacturing them so nobody really knew about them unless you had a connection or were on this or similar boards. You didn't see one on a lot and think "I'd like one of those."
  • There were issues about what the actual color would look like (thanks Jeep Marketing) and nobody was sure until the 1st JL photos showed up but even then some people thought the JT would be a different color. Nobody really knew for sure what the color would be until months after orders had closed when the 1st JT showed up in Gecko.
  • They opened up for orders and were built during covid/chip shortage and generally the biggest automotive shortage in recent history. They shut the plant down a few times while they were being manufactured. I'm surprised that dealers were able to order any at all. This is when they only had two or three new vehicles on every car lot in the country. The very limited number of them might be why dealerships were able to order them so the color run would be worth Jeep's time. I don't think any dealership cared what they were ordering at the time as long as they could get it in their lot.
All that being said, it does seem like they might consider opening Gecko back up at the end of this MY because it came out in such a strange time and sold so few.

Hopefully, they assume it's a shit color that nobody wants and they write it off forever. Jeep, if you're reading this: GECKO IS A HORRIBLE COLOR THAT NOBODY WANTS....EVER!
You can add it was so late in the year people were waiting to see what the 2022s would bring new.

How many Mojaves in that equation?
Good question. "Sublime" posted a few threads back about tracking the Charger models down to specific options. Maybe Gladiators will get that type of information also? With the low 372 Gecko number, and options available, we will all have a pretty much 1 of a kind truck. That is amazing, and
awesome to me.

These pictures are fantastic. What a nice Farm too. You have enough pics to make a nice calendar now! You are helping me get motivated to get some pictures myself. My last one is
with the truck still out in the snow. Take care.
