2021 Gladiator Ecodiesel and 2021 Wrangler 4xe
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

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.

Mopar Reveals Exclusively Customized, Limited-production Mopar ‘24 Jeep® Gladiator

Untitled.jpg


  • Exclusive interior and exterior content transforms Jeep® Gladiator Rubicon for Mopar’s annual factory-vehicle customization program
  • Limited-production run of 250 units available for the U.S. market only
  • U.S. manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the exclusive Mopar ’24 Jeep Gladiator is $70,295 (excluding $1,895 destination charge)
  • Vehicles are arriving in select Jeep dealerships now
  • Wide array of Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) is available for off-road enthusiast customers for increased capability

June 5, 2024 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar team continues its annual, limited-production, factory-vehicle customization program with a new special-edition model. This year, 250 units of the world’s most off-road capable midsize truck will be built with distinct and exclusive content to create the Mopar ‘24 Jeep® Gladiator.

Built upon a new Rubicon trim, the Mopar ‘24 Gladiator features a menacing black clear-coat exterior carrying one-of-a-kind topographical Rubicon trail graphics on the hood, bed sides and tailgate. The exterior graphics are accented with a red tracer and highlighted with the Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) logo on the hood and bed sides.

Inside the cabin, custom two-tone Katzkin leather seats carry black and Maraschino red surfaces with embossed Omega M Mopar logos in front. A matching Maraschino red center console armrest and seat bolsters provide additional color contrast along with red accent stitching on the steering wheel, seats and instrument panel. A custom serialized Mopar ‘24 badge sits on the leading panel of the center console, just behind the shifter.

“We’re excited to continue our annual factory-vehicle customization program with the new Mopar ‘24 Jeep Gladiator,” said Mike Koval Jr., senior vice president, head of Mopar North America. “Building upon the world’s most off-road capable midsize truck, we know our passionate Jeep customers will enjoy their special limited-edition vehicle that will definitely turn heads within the off-road community.”

Limited production
All 250 units will be built to the same unique specifications for the U.S. market only. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for the exclusive Mopar ’24 Jeep Gladiator is $70,295 (excluding $1,895 destination charge). Vehicles are arriving in select Jeep dealerships now.

Additional exterior content highlights include:
  • Mopar heavy-duty rock rails with step assist
  • Triple-hoop grille guard
  • Three-piece, body-color hardtop
  • Tri-fold hard tonneau cover
  • Spray-on bedliner
  • Grab handles – front and rear
  • Custom Mopar badge on tailgate

Additional interior highlights include:  
  • Mopar head liner
  • Black sill trim 
  • All-weather floor mats

The Mopar ‘24 Gladiator rides on standard 17-inch aluminum wheels with painted black pockets, mounted with Falken all-terrain tires. Power comes courtesy of a 285-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6.

Mopar ’24 owner kit and JPP tool kit
Each buyer will receive a Mopar ’24 owner kit that features a personalized certificate of authenticity with serialized vehicle-build number, a special rendering of the vehicle by the Mopar design team and more.

Buyers also receive an 83-piece JPP tool kit presented in an attractive reusable gift box. Dedicated tool pockets provide efficient organization and easy accessibility. The expandable bag provides plenty of room for customers to add their own tools.

Jeep Performance Parts
For Jeep customers looking to increase the on- and off-road capability of their Mopar ‘24 Gladiator or any other Jeep vehicle, JPP has the answer. The following select JPP offerings are designed for off-road enthusiasts to deliver proper fit, form, finish and quality to their Gladiator (shown with part number and U.S MSRP).

Two-inch Lift Kit with Bilstein Shocks: (P/N 77072468AF for 3.6-liter models: P/N 77072469AF for 3.0-liter diesel models | $2,095): The new Bilstein shocks complement increased ground clearance and larger wheels and tires by offering consistent, fade-free performance in all conditions. In addition, a self-adjusting, deflective-disc valve reacts instantly to surface changes, giving the driver maximum control while remote reservoirs increase oil capacity for greater heat dissipation.

Beadlock-capable Wheels (P/N 77073015AA | $485 per wheel): Provide enhanced performance when varying tire pressures might be needed for rock crawling, desert running and other extremely rough terrains. Requires Functional Lock Ring Kit – sold separately.

Beadlock-wheel Functional Lock Ring Kit (P/N P5160154AA | $300 per ring): Ring used to clamp the outer tire bead to the rim to run lower tire pressure for maximum traction.

Tube Door Kit (P/N 77072498AC | $1,545): Kit includes all four doors with door hinges and latches. Constructed of two-inch round steel tubes painted low gloss black, these doors also feature a mirror mounting location like the production doors.
·
Mesh Tube Door Covers (P/N 77072564AA | $337): Mesh covers provide a half-door look and keep vehicle content in the cabin space, while providing additional protection from the elements.

Mirror Kit for Tube Doors (P/N 77072562AB | $279): Kit includes two separately mounted side mirrors that are quickly and easily installed for an enhanced rear view.

Doors Off Mirror Kit (P/N 82215331AC | $498): Kit includes two mirrors with custom mounting brackets finished in powder coat black paint.

Performance Wiper Kit (P/N PW100013AB | $157): Get a cleaner view of the trail or road with new high-performance wiper blades that quickly clear the windshield with less washer fluid.

JPP / Jeep Branded Tool Kit (P/N 82219119AA | $543): This 83-piece professional grade tool kit has a wide variety of tools providing optimal job coverage. Perform repairs at home, in the shop or while out on the trail. The kit includes a heavy-duty JPP-branded canvas attaché tool bag, which is water-resistant, self-repairing zippers and reinforced webbing for strength and durability.

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.
