doesn't surprise me. the 2025s are cheaper. If you put cheaper 25s on the lot next to more expensive 24s the rebates required to sell them would be insane.

The Gladiator feels like a stepchild of the Jeep family at this point. Wouldn’t be surprised if Stellantis kills it soon. Especially if they introduce a midsize in the Ram lineup.

(I have no sources…obviously)

I hear there is no manual.

So is the 4Xe happening or not?

Alot of conflicting information out there

Thats what I want to know. I am holding out for a 4XE but if they are not happening I will grab a 2024 Mojave X.

Any credible article we could link to?

They could start pumping out the 2025 4xe without really impacting the 2024 sales, don't you think? Seems like two different customers... you know, one set of customers that want terrible MPG while running on gas so they can haul around a heavy battery with a tiny electric range for the added bonus of zero resale value.... and another set of customers who have their head screwed on all the way.

I can absolutely see them backloading the 2025s and getting a jump start on the 4xe production but as was said, the plant is probably retooling for the 2025s already. There's no way they're not starting on the gas trucks.

I don't give clickbait videos views but I would not at all be surprised if they restricted 2025 ordering until they actually release... I know my trade was shit because of the surplus of 2023s early this year and the absurd deals they were doing to get rid of them. They're struggling to sell already.

Good. The JL-era manual is trash. It's like seeing a good friend comatose. Just pull the plug.

Yeah, my dealer's lot was full of Gladiators they can't move and they sold me one at a heavy discount... which wasn't even one on their lot (they got it from another dealer in another state).

I can totally understand why. Gladiators are a very niche market and they're expensive for people that aren't clamoring for the things that make them unique. For me, the Gladiator was slightly more desirable than a JLU because I hate hauling around my utility trailer. My wife would have rather gone with a JLU, so ... if there were a JLU with a similar option package at a similar price to my Gladiator right next to it on the lot, I'd be back over at the Wrangler forums right now.

Can confirm. After five years it never felt natural to drive... I had to drive like I was late to work everywhere I went... incidentally, I was usually late to work because the Uconnect couldn't keep time either.

Is it really that bad? I knew there were some issues, but didn't follow it. Too bad they didn't just use the MT from the JK/LJ.

Did they move to a shifter with cable instead of direct connection due to impact reasons, or did people whine about shifter vibration?
