This will be the first brand new vehicle I have ever purchased...much less ordered. I justified it by selling my Silverado and making my wife tired of me taking her car to work! lol...D1 status with an estimated ship of 23Aug as of this morning.

How long ago did you order? Mine is in D1 status today as well. I wasn't told an estimated ship date though

I ordered mine 07Aug. Got an estimated ship date as well as VIN# this morning from the dealer. I had to call....he didnt just send me an update, so I don't know exactly when those statuses were reached.

My dad had jeeps when I was growing up, first vehicle was a CJ-5, second was a new in-the-box 1979 CJ-5, currently have 3 jeeps 2003 TJ Rubicon gets pulled behind the motorhome (now a daily driver), 2004 LJ with all kinds of "stuff", and the wife has a 2015 JKU. I also have (just sold) a duramax dually one down, 2 to go....
The justification was easy for me, sell the dually, the LJ and the 2003 TJR, get a gladiator. This way, I have a pickup, a jeep to tow behind the motorhome and a really cool modded daily driver. But I just can't see myself selling my LJ, so I'll just have to live with my 2 jeeps (and the wife's jeep)... The pain I must endure.

Ok thanks. I ordered 7/26 and had the VIN a couple days later. Maybe we'll both have good luck with build and ship times!

Got myself a mountain. Building a house means I need a truck and what truck is better suited to being here than a Jeep Gladiator?

The Gladiator proved itself to me on the test drive. I went in with low expectations. I left obsessed with the thing.

Sold my Ram in 2015. Wife bought Jeep Renegade. I took over the Nissan Rouge with no payments. Four years later a want/need another pickup truck. Test drove the other pickups, but they are all boring and look the same. I’ve known about the Gladiator for years, but I sat in one at the auto show before it was released and knew this would be on my driveway in the near future.

This is the north side of it. Missed out on the property I took this from so bought the taller mountain with a better ocean view (you can see the mtn i missed out on to the left of the first pic I replied with above). Should have a house built out of shipping containers very similar to this one by next summer. People are rock climbing and hangliding on the property already. I intend to open it up for a huge gladiator meetup once construction happens.

I wanted something to haul my new dual sport motorcycle and tow my SxS around Az. The 4runner could do one at a time, but not both. :) Plus the Gladiator is just way more fun than a Ridgeline or a Taco.

First post-
Haven’t bought one yet, but right now I have a 2011 convertible mustang and a 2008 Ram 1500, both manuals. Living in northern Indiana, the convertible isn’t feasible as a year round vehicle.

I’m looking to combine my truck and my convertible into one vehicle, and save on insurance/plates/etc.

Hoping my mustang sells soon so I can get an order placed. Punk’n manual overland or a sting gray sport-s (don’t like the Orange with black fenders)
