Getting Rear Ended - 3 Times

[Malachi23]

Just wondering if any Gladiator owners are getting rear ended more than usual. I have never been rear ended, until I got my Mojave and since then have I been rear ended 3 times at stop light. Never any damage to the truck (maybe towing package reinforcement?) but considerable damage to the car that hit me. Just wondered if this is just me, or a "thing" for Gladiators.

I was safe for the first few years, but I've been rear-ended twice in the past 6 months. You should see the other guys!

I blame cell phones

3 times! It's not them, it's you!
Deactivate stealth mode. It's next to the locker switch.

I've been thinking about getting one of those hitch receiver bumper guards / rock sliders just for this purpose.

Never been rear ended. They will need a tow truck and they know it.

Funny title. I thought this was going to be about a wild New Year’s Eve.

Maybe some chase lights

I have a ZAutomotive Tazer and have programmed my third brake light to flash two times before solid when I step on the brakes - they call it pulse feature. Seems to get everyone’s attention… knock on wood.

I was never rear ended in 40 years. Last gladiator was hit twice from behind. But my wife has been rear ended 4 times in past 5 years. It's cell phones. Her last rear end the rear dash cam caught the driver staring at their lap at the time of impact.

Glad I put a rear end dash cam on my Gladiator!

I passed a car on the way home where the driver was holding his phone in center of steering wheel watching a video while driving down a four-lane highway. Lately had to sit behind cars at traffic lights where the front car never notices the signal turns green then back to red.
Phones.

That is the last car that rear ended me.

Early 80’s, I would see people reading newspapers while driving 70 mph on the Garden State Parkway. It’s not the phones, it’s the morons.
