Then You should go back and read his post more carefully. It was a sarcastic comment about people that choose what truck to buy based solely on its ranking on some list.
and my sarcasm bag at you is not everyone does that You have your opinion with sarcasm I have my opinion with sarcasm and I can show that I'm not one of those people but you think is sarcasm funny Not everyone just goes and buys big trucks to ride around and look cool in them like your sarcasm states. How about the people that I can show you a dozen that I've seen in our club that we go to I've seen them that take gladiators and put $50,000 aftermarket into them with 40-in tires lift kits shovels the bearcat tracks axes all that s*** hanging on there The bed on top the rack with all the bells and whistles and slide out and they don't even go off-road they never go camping The beds brand new never been used I know several people that have put at least 50 to 60,000 aftermarket in their gladiators and they don't take them off road They think it's cool to have the bed on top that pops up 2 years old and the ax and the shovel still brand new never been used I mean I get it most people today do put stuff on trucks and Jeeps for cosmetic looks a lot of it is cosmetics that won't get used not everything you put on a Jeep or truck gets used It's for looks. That's just how it is there's so many things out there people will buy and put on because they think it looks cool and makes their truck or their gladiator look cool and it never gets used but that's what keeps the aftermarket people in business accessories that never get used Like I said I see so many gladiators that haven't had anything used on them with all that aftermarket accessories Not everyone goes over landing I know some people that do and it's great to have but I know some people that have never been off-road and they got the subcompact freezer refrigerator and the pool out the axes like I said the bed all that stuff they've never used it in two years looks cool riding around town every vehicle I've bought I've used for what it was purpose to to haul something heavy or ajib to go off-roading and have fun most people are weekend warriors Not everyone can go four-wheeling every weekend I get it. A lot of people have kids and have soccer games football baseball games on weekends over their family and they can't go every weekend I understand that I couldn't go every weekend We had other priorities with my kids but like I said most people are weekend warriors So back at your sarcastic is there are people that buy big trucks to pull something because you ain't pulling heavy s*** with the gladiator. I'm not going to go back and forth You can say what you want after this comment I get the alert I'm going to delete it I'm not going to go back and forth You said what you said I said what I said I'm done
I only read the first couple sentences. I replied so your post is still here if you delete it.
Okay I deny apologize if I misunderstood you I just got a lot going on and I might have misunderstood you so if I did I apologize I just got a lot of stuff going on right now in my life and I'm sorry
Don't know know what they were really trying to say just said #1 mid-sized truck. The reason for the lower prices on used and huge discounts on new is due to low demand and excess inventory due to low demand. Just stating the facts as I found them when it relates to #1. As for the Frontier and Ridgeline they were both at the bottom of the barrel and below the JT. The telling numbers are the Tacoma which is the undisputed number 1. I appreciate your loyalty and sticking up for the JT but the numbers are what they are.1700371131470.pngapa, post: 1215264, member: 25284"]
You are speculating that those are long unsold - take a look around the local Ford and Chevy dealers here - lots of trucks. Would you call those unsold inventory? If you go back in a month and see the lot is still full - is that unsold inventory, or are those trucks delivered since you last drove by?
The Gladiator doesn't stay on the lots long here. Sure, each time you drive by or drive through, you see them - but my recent dealer visits have shown me that the trucks I saw a few weeks ago aren't the same ones I'm seeing now.
#1 midsize - what? In sales like you suggest? It ratings by auto blogs or magazines? In initial quality?
What you are referring to - was Jeep REALLY saying #1 SELLING, or could it be they meant #1 rated?
You are going by sales figures, but - maybe Jeep is going by some rating system, such as Forbes, which says Jeep Gladiator is #2 -
Or maybe Jeep was referencing this site when they said Gladiator was the #1 midsize truck.
Unless you read or heard them say "best selling" - they may not have been lying - look at the scores here. Jeep beat the others by a fair margin:
Or did they go on to say for initial quality?
Lower *anticipated* demand. They’ve sold more each year, but the growth wasn’t as expected . Another way things are spun and ironically by the OP who didn’t mean to. Classic!
I would call it an upgrade!
Number 1 truck shaped car in America. Trucks don't have unibodys and 4 wheel independent suspensions in my opinion. Even the El Camino was more of a truck. Sales figures have never even entered my mind when shopping for a vehicle for 2 reasons. I really don't care what "most" people want to drive and most people are idiots. If all the lemmings are jumping off a cliff to buy a Honda "truck", I'm heading the opposite direction. The only hope is enough real trucks continue to sell that all manufactures don't go the cars with beds route.
The jeep ad is directly referencing the 2023 Initial Quality Study for Midsize Trucks from JD Power. They even say this in one of the ads.You are speculating that those are long unsold - take a look around the local Ford and Chevy dealers here - lots of trucks. Would you call those unsold inventory?
