Mopar reveals 250 limited-production Mopar '24 Jeep Gladiator

[Ericshere03]

And there already discounting the hell out of it !! Jeep has become a total joke and they are gonna run the company into the ground along with the value as they already have !!

They gave the public a taste of “incentives” … I been driving new jeeps since 2015, I learned that paying the price up front and selling at a negligible price after I’m done was way better than buying used and fixing up someone’s screwups.

Jeeps had “value” and you never heard of wranglers being discounted … that sort of mentality flowed into selling/used markets.

now they’re all screwed up, how do you determine value when your product now costs double, but they’re are now massive discounts, what’s the value anymore ???

jeep has gotten greedy, over inflated the wrangler (and gladiator) product line, then introduced pricing complexity …

regardless, I’m happy with my 75k diesel gladiator that I paid about 50k and was out the door for 55k, most expensive new jeep I’ve bought. Since diesel is discontinued, I may be stuck here for a while …

let us not forget, that even a base sport gladiator is a great little truck!!! My first gladiator was a basic Sport S, manual transmission, alpine and that’s about it. Great little truck, terrible motor and transmission, MPG were about the same as my LJ. But diesel changed the game!!! And now the game is over

Only $800 per wheel for beadlocks. Lol

My thoughts exactly…

A dealer near me has one the MSRP is $72,190 Sale Price is $64,908 checkout the interior.

Imo. The 2 tone interior should be the other way around. It looks like some cheap ass seat covers woth red contrast all over the places.

Edit: Holly shit lol. Katzkin actually has one. Looks way better.

For the money, this is purely a money grab for Mopar/Jeep imo

They've been trying to draw customers into their JPP brand of MOPAR for years, without much success. AEV gets more customers than JPP of MOPAR does (and their stuff is even more overpriced). Doing things like this gets those one-off customers who want the super rare, limited-edition things but don't really know or care for what their money is, or rather isn't, getting them.

This should've been more than just a Rubicon X with stickers and a cute tool bag. Like others have said, it should've come with all the cool JPP stuff standard; beadlock wheels, big lift, beefy axles, etc. and put the fucking Winch in it for the price. You've got the modular bumper already, why not?

What I found interesting is the factory supplied half doors. Living in PA I wonder if this would be a go-around current "no door" laws that we have here?


PA inspection code § 175.77 states (f) Doors. A vehicle specified under this subchapter shall be equipped with doors of a type used as original equipment.

Doesn’t even have the leather dash/door panels … this is a cloth rubicon with a badge for 70k!!!! AND ITS JUST A GAS!!!!!!!

whatta freaking joke!

I just got my 3rd gladiator, 2023 Far Out Rubicon with a Diesel, FULLY loaded except front camera, upgraded cruise control and Bluetooth speaker for 55k OTD. If this were 50k, then maybe … but I gotta say, the leather and red stitched interior is pretty cool. The red and black seats in this truck are tacky , especially with the cloth sport doors and dash …

The Katzkin optioned gladiators always came with the unstitched door panels and dash--one of the positives of that option. I had that stitched "leather" dash and door panels in my high altitude. IMHO that is what looked tacky and cheap. Red stitching all over a plastic dash--Seriously?? No thanks. Give me the red rubicon dash panel to inject a little bit of color and limit the stitching to the real leather and you have a winner........
And "just a gas" is desirable to many over the diesel. The majority viewed the diesel as an option, due to it complexity and suspect reliability, to stay as far away from as possible.
With the right incentives in place, I think this truck has a pretty cool look to it. If I was in the market, I would consider it!

I think Jeep keeps missing the Boat on what Gladiator owners want. We don't want to pay for color changes, stick on lettering, and collector badges. Do something big.

Let's see a Hemi 392 Gladiator. I'm not sure why there is a 392 Wrangler but not a Gladiator. The 3.6 Penstar is grossly underpowered for a pickup, that will be lifted and is supposed to tow trailers.

As soon as we put our big heavy tires and lifts on Gladiators, they suck tons of gas and can't drive highway speeds without the RPM climbing into danger zones. Try to tow a trailer, and we end up getting passed by everything on the Highway.

Please give us a 392 Gladiator!! Come on, just do it! And please offer it in a Base Version, not just the Rubicon.

Too much $$$$$$ for what you get. No lift kit, no winch, nothing but some graphics???????

I am pretty sure he is talking about the 3.0L i6 Hurricane engine that has been rolled out in other Stellantis products.

Turbo I6 would be epic. But they’d need to make alot more than 250 of them for it to be on sale for more than day or two. Would transform the JT platform.

As other guys have said I hope they do it oneday in the lower grades / sport w steelies and all terrains w no leather or chrome anywhere.

I see a lot of hate, I like it and am glad they are doing it. Still doesn't beat a Mojave, but I'm still a fan.

They're getting the (deserved) hate because of the ridiculous 70,000+ price tag, not even fully optioned! No Rubicon should cost anywhere near that. I remember my old man bought himself a brand new 2015 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock, fully optioned out, and the original window sticker ran $41,795 (I know this because we still have it).

That's about $55,290 in 2024 BTW.

Even with the pickup truck tax and a few upgrades, these really shouldn't run more than $60,000. The simple fact is they've gotten exceptionally greedy these last few years.

 

[MudderNuker]

Hard pass. Now put a hurricane in it and we'll talk.

 

[biodiesel]

no diesel no care

That would truly make it a limited edition and also highly attractive to potential buyers.

 

[RubiNewbCB]

My thoughts exactly…

Are they the LiteBrite custom billet wheels?
