April & May production will be pre-spec
Dealer ordering in April will be for June production

No pricing info
In this post it mentions "Dealers must have a sales allocation of 75% of their Jeep Wrangler’s sold must be Unlimited models." Any idea if that includes both JK's and JL's? My local dealer still has three new 2018 two door JK's on the lot, worried they'll get shafted by those skewing the numbers

The document states that the first public offered Gladiators will begin production in June. So based on the timeline, dealers should start receiving the pickups around the end of July.

The document states about dealer allocation for the Gladiators. Dealers must have a sales allocation of 75% of their Jeep Wrangler’s sold must be Unlimited models, as well as the dealers total sales must be at least 25% Jeep products. According to the document it also depends on how fast they can sell vehicles as well. So not all dealers will be granted Gladiator pickups, right off the bat.

But it does means you should be able to walk into your local Jeep dealer and be able to place an order for the new 2020 Jeep Gladiator next month. FCA has yet to release officially pricing on the all-new Gladiator. But we expect it to be within the next few weeks.

I like that you're still helping us JT guys out, and you already bought a Taco. =) You just missed us, that's all.

As I said in another post, I really do feel for you guys and wish you the best. It’s an interesting concept and I haven’t 100% ruled out someday owning one further on down th road if it turns out to be a decent vehicle; but I definitely want nothing to do with the circus currently being conducted by FCA.

At this point I’m in it out of curiosity.

Glad you went with a Taco over the Ranger and GM twins. I think you will be happier. I am on both forums, as I see you and a couple others are as well. I don’t think you will have any shifting issues. I think the Atkins has unique shift points for FE than the others. The Taco is currently my back up. I’d go with the CCLB OR in magnetic or white. I did not buy one because the back seat is too tight, rear seat does not fold up, and you have to take the headrest off the backseat to fold it down. I pretty much always have my dog or a kid in the back at different times on a regular basis.

I'm almost sorry I brought the info to our attention . . . now Some are RePosting everywhere . . . and now (here) it seems we have yet another "dedicated thread on the "topic"? Which will quickly get sidetracked with some B.S. about "plywood" no doubt ! Well, I hesitate to bring "this" up, but on TFL Truck ( is this banned too? ) the 70 vehicles has morphed into 80, but beside that oversight (?), they mention these "sold" vehicles are (in the comments section) probably sold to 3rd party vendors - this I agree with, vice employees buying them ! Makes sense, because these PreProduction Vehicles can not be Legally Registered for On Road Use, also mentioned in the comments section ( I would NEVER take credit for someone else's "work" !
I hope BedRug, A.R.E. and others are getting ONE for independent research of Their Future GLAD. Offerings . . . !
This is a GOOD sign for those (i.e.; me) wanting to get the GLAD. "Set Up" just the way we want - SOON after purchase/Delivery ! I'll still be waiting - for various reasons; some practical, some medical, some waiting for the "bugs" to show and get resolved (quickly, I hope) ! ? Hmm, realize I seem to use the "Hope" them a lot lately . . . it is what it is !
ps; I still find it interesting some of the "I'm outta here club" continue to impart their wisdom . . . . . . . . . :idea: :clap: .

I drove a taco not too long ago and the transmission and lack of power really left me wanting more. I wanted one if the gladiator didn’t pan out, but there’s no way I could drive the laggy taco. The new generation is supposed to get a redesign, and an upgraded drive train. I think it’s due for one personally.
