We had a Trailhawk for a couple of years. Drove well, but not the most attractive. My wife couldn’t stop telling me the taillights looked exactly like a butt hole. I could never see them the same again.

I think the tail lights look like the eyes of a dead cartoon character....

That thing would be a disgrace to the Comanche name. ??

They already make a long wheelbase Grand Cherokee. Take that front end, that drive train, and make it a unibody pickup….

The problem would be they can’t seem to make a Grand Cherokee worth owning for under $40k.

I think we'll get a Dodge Dakota (Or Ram Dakota) before we get that.

Yes, the Ram Dakota is coming and is basically a Gladiator with a Ram shell.

A mini Gladiator is not that far of a concept. The Ram 700 will be a Mexican built mini truck. Stellantis will have a mini "truck" in its stable. (Source) - note the quotes around "truck".

I wish the Gladiator got that type of tailgate treatment

With the sales of the maverick it'll be interesting to see how the compact truck segment ends up in the next couple years with the other manufacturers.

The Ram 700 is an interesting design, though it would take a while for me to get used to that.

beds kinda cool looking, though it also appears the fenders are part of the mold ?, the rest of it looks dumb.

Put it in the $25k range, add an actual top and I'd own one right away
