He just made another video - now he's taking about all Jeeps.

New Jeeps Are Failing To Sell - YouTube
What a hoot! Dealer we bought our JLU 4xe from said they sell "140 a month the last couple of months". And they aren't a huge dealership by any means.
Is he taking into account the fall of used car prices - the rise of MSRP on new cars, and that people are now starting to go back to buying used vehicles again - likely dropping numbers for ALL auto makers?

Idk about not selling… My dealer in Idaho does like 50-60 built orders a month… that’s just wranglers and gladiators.

He is a clueless idiot - and I mean that in the nicest way possible. ;-)
Which part?

And aren't you actually referring to a fair percentage of youtoobers out there?

90% of everything covered is opinion based and subjective. I bet all the likes came from Tacoma owners


Click bait. The Gladiator over performed last year, saturated the market and is settling back to its target.

Wasn't he a salesman? I seem to think he was. Sure sounds like one. He sounds about an inch deep. He knows just enough to sound credible but not enough to be useful. I sometimes get tricked into watching his videos but I always leave feeling like all I heard was BS.

I sure am glad that I have reached the point in my life where I couldn't give two s___s what every fast-talking, scrotum-sack who chooses to make a "review video" has to say.
"Scrotum-sack" gonna remember that one.

Tell that to the people who waited many months for their vehicles. There's no reason they would still be available, being made where there were great restrictions on masking, distancing and so on just like the other plants.
When I ordered mine, the sales guy said they had a RAM truck and a JL that had been ordered way back in 2021, and this was spring of 2022, and they were still waiting on that truck and Wrangler to come in. They finally came in - when my JT came in over 2 months later. The dealer said it was almost a year for that truck and Jeep. He said they were having trouble getting stock, and in fact, they had to arrange their front lot with used vehicles and customer vehicles to make their lot look like they had something. The Ram/Jeep dealer north of us had a pretty barren lot as well. The choices sucked, the empty spots many. I know of two big lots where Jeep planted almost finished vehicles, waiting for parts to finish them - thousands of them. One was near where a friend lived in Indiana.

I can't speak to the power needs, but the net of this video is you have to already be a Jeep Wrangler enthusiast, desire a pickup to want a Gladiator.
