2020 Gladiator Overland & 2018 JLUR
Just purchased on the last day of the month. I was shopping around Iowa and the bordering state. On Friday I bought from a dealer 5 minutes from my house.

I was going to order but being impatient I bought off the lot. FYI, Stew Hansen in Des Moines gave me a great deal. $3k off of MSRP and I made them throw in the Rubicon tires and wheels.

I got a bright white Overland. Shop around and don’t pay msrp or over.

Thx!! I really wanted a Rubicon but once I drove the Overland. I really like the ride. It’s totally different driving composure than the JL. I couldn’t justify the price difference and they did want to budge as much on the Rubi.

I have a JL as well. My wife thinks it's redundant to own a JL and a JT. I beg to differ

Did you think the drive was that much different than the Rubicon? I didn't find it much different except for the street tires on the Overland.

I guess not a huge difference between JT models. I meant the overall Gladiator drive versus the JL. I did surprisingly like the leather dash versus my red JLUR red dash. I ditched those wimpy street tires. I will say the Falkens are definitely a more aggressive tire than my Bfg KO2 on my wrangler. However, not as much road noise as I anticipated.
