Im a new Jeep convert! Previous sports car guy here,
Dodge Charger V6 to Dodge Challenger RT 5.7L HEMI Manual to Dodge Challenger Widebody Scatpack 6.4L HEMI Manual- Jeep Gladiator

Gladiator is my first Jeep, I will continue to buy them but may have to add some type of step as I am not getting any younger. Damn was I stupid to wait until I was 50(ish)

#4. Also still have #1...88 Cherokee.
I Wish I still had #2, 96 Cherokee country. Glad I am rid of #3 2005 Grand Cherokee. That thing was awful.

This will be my first personally owned Jeep. Army let me drive some and my godmother let me learn to wheel with her 94 Grand Cherokee.

1st jeep, coming from an '86 4runner. Thing is a beast but it is getting harder and harder to find parts. Figure it is time to upgrade into the new century.....

Ok, I did own a 1957 CJ6, but it never ran in the time I owned it. Because of that I am calling my gladiator my first jeep.
My wife has owned 3 jeeps, and I liked them ok but I always liked driving pickups. Coming from a ram rebel it is nice to have the smaller truck. It just is easier to live with on a daily basis. The gladiator wasn't my first choice, but it easily beat out the TRD Pro Taco after the test drive.

I saw someone else posted a question about if the Jeep gladiator was your first Jeep and it made me curious. The gladiator is my first Jeep, I’m coming from only owning sports cars. I have to say I really enjoy all of the accessories you can purchase and being part of such a huge car culture. So have you owned other Jeep’s or is the gladiator your first jeep?

Same here, traded a CLK350 when I got my Glad, feel same about the culture. We have a great local group.

Im a little sad here - this is my first but I've wanted one since i was a kid. I'm sad that my kids are not going to be driving jeeps like I had growing up. Too much safety BS, electric motors etc. In the future are we going to see Jeeps with roof racks to hold big batteries? Batwing solar chargers? Hitch mounted wind turbines? Maybe I'm a curmudgeon but dino juice is pretty damn convenient when you are totally off grid.

Sadly with the way things are going it seems that way. Or they will tax the crap out of gas to push the move to some kind of self driving BS. Now don't get me wrong I would totally rock a self driving tesla as a commuter, but not as my only car. I also like owning my vehicles and I see the path of electric cars turning into some kind of subscription services with battery swaps and all kind of other BS where you never actually get to buy your vehicle.

I like the technology in the jeep to an extent (android auto, large display for navigation) but other things just feel like too much. My kids are still confused as hell that I look behind me instead of using the camera (hard to break 16 years of habit). Like my kids might be some of the last that truely learn how to drive fully. seems so strange.

I got mine with the 6MT so my kids could learn on it. I plan on covering up the camera or pulling the fuse on it when they have it. Also I need to figure out how to disable the hill hold start feature - once they know what the hand brake is for and can reverse up hill into a parking space (Think San. Fran driving) then they can have it back to normal... according to my wife I am the mean dad...
