33 gallon fuel tank, boy howdy!
LOL and its all premium all the time. 12.5 avg mpg so far. Have not gotten past break in period yet. I’m thinking smiles per gallon will make up for my direct tap into colonial pipeline (haha).

Where I live, people think you have a micropenis when you drive a truck. But I heard, a jeep was ok because it looks “vintage”. So far I have not seen any other Gladiator since I had mine 3 months ago so it seems a rare beast and I am allways told that it is in pristine condition “for its age” because people think it is at least 20 years old because of its design....
I can live wirh that!

Let me start by saying this forum and jeep culture in general is awesome. We have enjoyed every minute of building our JTR and learning from others.

If you haven’t noticed the used car market has lost its mind. I stopped by the local Hendrick store and started a conversation that ended up with me trading keys. Yes, we traded the gladiator.

The dealer gave us over $56k for the Silvertruck, which is within 10% of what we paid (with first lift tires and wheels). Obviously we ate the rest of the mods, thats what happens. But, the trade gave us substantial equity that we rolled plus a little cash into a new truck.

But not just any truck. I am talking about a 2021 Ram 1500 TRX. 702hp, 650 ft lbs hellcat powered supertruck. 14 inches of travel, 8 drive modes, soundtrack like no other truck on the planet. All with state of the art interior and infotainment.

Its apples to oranges, but keeps me in the mopar family and a chance to own a hellcat that meets family needs as well.

This has been a great forum, and thank you all for reading my stuff and commenting on my build. Let me know what you think or if i can answer questions. Silvertruck wont be our last jeep. See you on the trail!
