Nice Gladiator hat and jacket, lucky daughter. Got any pictures of the trailer hitch? And did you by chance note if the rear seats sit on the underseat storage box? Or what is the gap between the two? Can you get me a hat and jacket? Go ahead, be my hero!

This is the best I have. I looked at it and didn’t see anything that concerns me as I will be pulling a 19’ Ranger with it this summer. We couldn’t get inside and they only had this one. Talking with the FCA guy he said he love to get us in the truck but then the show would blow up on him. It was sure generating a lot of interest. Most people had no clue what it was and a few that did know what the Gladiator was were fairly informed. I overheard a local Jeep dealer parts guy telling his wife they had “some” coming in soon. ??? Don’t think he was too informed.

Jeep rep at show was a Penske guy and was at the reveal in LA and has been traveling with the Gladiators from show to show. Apparently they get the first ones and are responsible for getting new models to the movie guys and other VIP first delivery peeps. He said they will be getting a bunch by mid month that will be going to employees and others that should start showing up on the streets.

Hey Lou2.0 thanks for the heads up. I saw your other posts about this in some other threads and went searching the Internet and found the article. Most interesting reading and sounds more than official. The article was dated today and states that dealers can take orders next month(April), production for ordered trucks starts in June with deliveries by late July. This means a 4 month wait to take delivery once a truck is ordered. Not too thrilled about a 4 month delivery time frame.

Oh and I just wonder what the April and May production pre-spec trucks will be. I am betting fully loaded Rubicon models.
