My apologies if this was already posted somewhere, but this is interesting news to see the
Gladiator on Hagerty's list of vehicles that may be good investments.
2020 Hagerty Hot List: The 6 collector rides of the future
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
The return of a cargo bed to the Jeep family means that the do-it-all Wrangler can now do even more. Packing all of the same rugged capability of the current JL-generation rock-crawler, plus the added practicality of a pickup bed, the Gladiator is much more than a pickup. After all, what off-roader or truck can haul 1600 pounds, tow 7650 pounds, trounce just about any trail, and do it in open-air splendor without doors or a roof?
The Gladiator shares a mission with Jeep’s CJ-8 Scrambler from the 1980s, which itself has ticked up 20 percent in value in the last three years. For Concours-quality, #1-condition examples, the median value for CJ-8s is 10 percent higher than for the comparable CJ-7. While we expect modifications will be common, down the road it will likely be the most original examples that will be sought after.
As personal transportation veers closer and closer to driverless autonomy, the significance of a go-anywhere dynamo like the Gladiator cannot be overstated. It is a vehicle with extraordinary capability, utility, and most of all, personality. Jeeps make adventure all the more fun, and a pickup bed only expands the possibilities for what the Gladiator can do.

that was. The future for what vehicles that will be collected will be obviously some of the same as now certain make and models. But unknown for JT, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the article was written to drum up some interest for LE JT sales on secondary market.
