I'm trading in my 2019 Mustang GT on a 2021 Gladiator Sport S in Sarge Green. I'm putting in my order on Wed. the 19th and I'm expecting it to take 6-8 weeks to arrive. I've always wanted a Jeep and now that the Gladiator is out I'm pulling the trigger!

I've been snowboarding a lot the past couple of years and it's a pain fitting all my gear in the trunk and I'm limited weather wise due to not having 4WD. I also golf and it's a nightmare transporting my clubs if I don't go with someone else. I've tolerated it up until now but now that the Gladiator is out and my GT has super low miles I'm finally checking this off my bucket list.

You won’t regret it. I owned a 2016 Mustang GT. It was a fun car. The Jeep is even more fun and so many more uses for the Jeep. Enjoy!

Welcome. I will advise to move your expected arrival time up though. Mine took a full 3 months to get here and that was before all of the chip and part shortages. You're gonna love the JT. I'm a Toyota Tacoma / LandCruiser convert.

When I ordered my 2005 GT it took about 5 months to come in so waiting is not an issue. It takes as long as it takes.

This. Not only did I sell 2 Mustangs to get this Gladiator (2017 GT and a 1999 SVT Cobra)....my wife got a JL in lieu of her Explorer.

I used to road course race my mustangs. Having a ton of fun modding and off roading now.

You won’t regret your decision.

Welcome to the Club!

Got it. It was the first vehicle I ever ordered, was told 8-12 weeks but closer to 6-7. 12 weeks later and I was loosing it. It sat in the lot at the factory because of shipping issues caused by the manual software flash. 1 day, flash was done, 30 days to get to CT from OH.

I thought about doing the same thing but then I realized how much I loved my mustang so I kept it and bought a Gladiator anyways. I'm glad I did because the JT is a fun machine but it don't satisfy that need for speed like the Mustang does, but I'm sure you want miss it.

Funny thing is when I ordered this Mustang in July it was here by September

What transmission did you choose on the gladiator? I see your mustang is an MT.

Manual transmission all the way!
Heck yes! Have fun. It's a blast, but go into it knowing you're going to have to shift way more than the mustang to keep the RPMs up. 5 and 6th are pretty much just for the highway on these trucks.

Man, those are some nice Mustangs. Will be hard to let go of our 98 GT when the time comes.
