Wonder what they looked like during Covid when everyone was buying Jeeps for the end of the world. I’m not mad about that. I think mine was a Covid project Jeep. :like:

Actually, this is a very impressive report. It shows that the economy is doing well and people are still willing to buy old products. Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep didn't have anything new to offer customers. 2027 and 2028 will be more promising as new vehicles come to market.
Mmm... not so much.

They, as usual, buried the lede:

For the full 2025 calendar year, the company reports total sales of 1,260,344 vehicles, a decrease of 3% year over year.
The right-pricing of the JT helped that model sales. We all said it was stupid Jeep jacked the price up with minimal improvements over the past couple of years. I spec'd my '21 JTR in '23 and it came out to $63k+ and I'm like, "C'mon, Jeep."

I'd like to see what % of sales were actual private buyers vs. fleet/rentals/business buyers.

Yes, but the increase in Q3 and Q4 sales is reflective of the strong economy that we saw in Q3. The U.S. economy grew at a 4.3% rate in Q3, which is an increase from 3.8% in Q2. I think Stellantis is going into 2026 with a promising outlook.

When sales numbers are released online, people often make quick assumptions. As consumers, we can take a more focused approach to interpreting these figures.
  • Market Trends: Indicates popular models may not be assumed to be available. And if so, colors or trims may be limited. Plus demand drives future resale value.
  • Pricing: The Gladiator's previous high price shows that discounts can drive sales.
  • Production: Low volumes may signal supply chain issues (especially during COVID) or production challenges (e.g., Bronco).
For the most part, these positive Gladiator numbers are good for the health of the vehicle and the brand.

twice as many people bought a gladiator 😂 because they got a deal or got sick of their Tacomas 😂
A really telling stat would be How many of each brand was traded in om a new one.

Just throwing in my 2 cents. I bought a 2025 Gladiator Mojave X in April of last year.

I had it for a month..then got rid of it. It was wandering all over the road then I got the death wobble. The vehicle had 1200 miles on it when I ditched it.

I'm lucky because I bought it in Virginia. Paid 48k for it. Traded it in and got 50k. I got all my taxes back and cashed in the extended warranty I bought and only lost $50 on that.

I really want another Gladiator. But I'm gonna wait until they put a hemi in it and I can get another deal close to what I paid for last one.

I'm a Jeep guy my whole life

That ain't gonna happen. 48K for a JT that has an MSRP well into the 60s? Even with all of my discounts, under FWP and so on, it was over 50.

Why didn't you have it fixed if it "wandered" maybe your first Jeep? They don't wander unless there's a problem.

I see you have it at 3 different numbers 47 in one post, 48 in another and then you financed 49K

When (if) they come out, good luck finding a Hemi Gladiator for anywhere near $50k. Post up here if you do and we´ll all go grab one.

Yes it was 47,XXX (48) and I financed 49 with a few small add ons

Go do a nationwide search. There are a few within a few hundred miles of my area right now Listed at 50,51 so not out of realm to get one under 50 last year...

I did take it to dealer...they said "nothing wrong"

I was aware the wandering could be an issue with these. I was looking st steering stabilizers when I got the death wobble..then decided to dump it while I could get my money back

I have a few rare sports cars so I know the value of vehicles. I knew I had a listed window to dump it and break even at worst.
