I am confused by this comment because I ordered an Eco Diesel with the bed liner.
Wasn’t available on diesel through Gupton. You could add it on Jeep build website for 2022. It would automatically remove Bed liner when diesel option was selected when building a 2021. Dealership told me they couldn’t build a diesel Rubicon with liner.

Just ordered yesterday! So excited! I have been eyeballing these for a couple years now and just made the choice to sell my truck for a nice down payment. I love my TJ, and just like it, the Gladiator just feels all kinds of right.

There are a few things I wish I could have ordered, but not all items are available with all trims, etc..

Sport S
  • Sarge Green - after seeing it in person, it is on point!
  • Gasser
  • TAN interior - I haven't seen any tan interiors but black is just too much black, I hope its a dark tan
  • Satin black grille
  • Spray in beadliner
  • Cold weather group
  • Popular equipment package - apparently this was required
  • 8.4 and premium audio
  • Safety group - apparently this is the 'active safety group'
  • Advanced safety group - apparently this is the 'adaptive cruise control'
  • Max-tow package - this was a requirement so I can have the same axles as the Rubicon and add my own lockers later, also to have the door sticker show higher ratings so insurance doesn't get funny....this was only available on the Sport S
  • Selec-Trac full time - after some members here helped put out some good info, I decided to go this route, hopefully it works good for some decent off highway needs

Options not chosen
  • The LED package was NOT available. Funny because when the dealer went through the build just a week earlier LED was available...must be either a change in their options or parts availability issues. But it's ok because I can install my own LED headlights later, and the tail lights are supposedly LED anyway due to the max-tow and advanced safety groups
  • I opted to skip the trail rail system so that I can install my own wiring and use a better quality inverter and DC/DC charger from Redraw
  • I also skipped the aux switches as I can get custom labeled switches and install them in a factory appearance so instead of just saying 'aux 1-3' they are actually labeled with the appropriate item they are switching.
  • Side steps of any kind were skipped as well so that these can go on right away and I'm not removing a factory installed item that will go in the trash - https://www.quadratec.com/p/rock-slide-engineering/gen-iii-step-sliders-gladiator-jt-bd-ss-300-jt4
  • One of the first things to change will be wheels and tires. Factory tires are noisy and not suitable for off highway. I will be going 33's - so basically the same as Rubicon, just need to figure out the right wheel offset needs.


Dealer said it could be 6 months to receive! Thats awful long - hopefully its half that timeframe. I also need to spray the underside and frame in and out with some Eastwood products as nobody in my area does any sort of undercoating to prevent against rust anymore. Kinda weird actually.

Very excited for this truck. My last truck was awesome but just didn't fit my needs any longer and was too big - this fits ALL my needs perfectly!

Well %^&*! (just frustrated from my own point of view - That's awesome that you got it!)

Has the truck been delivered yet?
No, eta is around the 20th. I'll post here when it arrives. Build sheet and sticker both confirm bed liner.

Finally joining the Jeep family! I had my order confirmed early last week, though my process might be slightly different as I ordered through Military Auto Source. We're currently stationed in Germany and headed back to the States (after 7 years in Europe!) this May.

My order acceptance came through on 2 March. Order is a '22 Gladiator Rubicon, all packages except smokers, in Firecracker Red.

I will be a little sad as I'm giving up my Audi RS3 for this, but that thing would be a speeding ticket magnet in the States...

I just ordered a white Rubicon through Mall of Georgia. Mike made the process really easy. Thanks to this forum for letting me know there was a somewhat local dealer selling below invoice. I highly recommend Mike Clinan at Mall of Georgia.

That seems pretty quick. I paid the deposit to @GuptonJeep this morning, still waiting for the verification it was ordered. Two weeks ago I was given a 12-16 week build/delivery estimate. I'd be ok with the latter, as my Tacoma lease ends in late Sept.

@BlueScapegoat I know the feeling. That interior is going to look nice. I ordered from @GuptonJeep this morning too, Willys with tan interior. Maybe I will see yours at Gupton in a handful of weeks.

Pretty pumped, Sunday i posted that i had filled out the order on Sat, and the order would go in Mon. Just spoke to the salesman and a Vin has been assigned and it's gone to "D" status. Hopefully it continues this smooth and quickly.

Darn it y’all! I ordered my JTRD with saddle leather because you didn’t see many like that and y’all are messing me up!!! Mainly went that way cause I don’t like scorching my back side on black leather. Know what I’m saying…
