Is The Gladiator THAT Ugly?

[Chukronos]

With the top on it is pretty goofy looking. Same with having wheel spacers pushing the tires out. Awful. But, take that top off and it is the best looking truck available.

In the new gladiator commercial there is not one single shot of it with its top on. Makes sense.

Beauty is in the Eye Of the Beholder,But when a guy on a bike follows you Into the plaza parking lot just to get a closer look, Or when dozen's of people who have approach me with positive comment in the short time I have owned it, one thing for sure the Gladiator is turning head. I think they looks awesome

It's called "character". At least it doesn't look like 99% of all other vehicles.

I’ve had 4 friends now (none of which are car guys) tell me that my gladiator is hideous. One of them said “god, I can’t even look at it, the proportions are all wrong”. Another said, “it just looks like a wide brimmed top hat” (which after making this picture, I agree with haha)

Do any of you that own it, think it’s ugly or is everyone in love with it? I can honestly say, I think it looks really cool, but there are one or two bad angles when looking at it

I love the looks of the JTR once modded with a lift, 37s or larger tires, some body armor, looks like an tough military type vehicle, stock they look good but out of proportion. I have the Bestop sunrider, but that’s the only part that’s cloth (twill).

It was kind of ugly when I bought it. I knew what I was going to do right away. It is beautiful now.

Ha I’d just laugh and tell them it’s just like their kids, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Not all hats or the men who wear them created equal…

The Jeep Wrangler look is utilitarian, not "attractive" per se. The quirkiness of the vehicle is what has kept it the most unchanged vehicle in 50+ years. Only Porsche has been changed less through time.

It's not a look for everyone. Stock Sports look oddly proportioned, and overall I think the Gladiator body needs to be moved forward about 3-5" on the chassis for balance. Wheels & tire upgrades, bigger front bumper & winch help tremendously with the perceived balance.

A Ferrari F430 it's not.
