My new Gladiator Sport S

[rnish]

Hello All:

My first post here. Just saying "Hello" and to start my Jeep story. After some semi-serious looking and tire kicking (late January 2025), I got ~34% off MSRP, a new old stock, 2023 Gladiator Sport S. It had 88 miles on the meter after my test drive. I jumped on this deal because of the uncertainty of tariffs and inflation.

I'm new to Jeep but not to off-roading. A long time Toyota Tacoma fan boy trying out the other side of the buffet.

Looks like we are white Sport S twins. I picked up mine just over a week ago and got a similar deal. I'm going to wait a few months before making any major modifications.

Congrats on your new Gladiator!
I’m on my second, it’s a 2023 sport I acquired in North Dakota.
My first was a 2021 Willys oil burner that I took from Florida to Alaska towing my 17’ Gladiator. It was a 14,000 mile trip with my rescue mixed Breed chihuahua, Kate.
I loved the diesel, I got 17mpg towing on the Alaska journey. At 58,000 I traded it for a Ram 1500. The HPFP fiasco concerned me since I didn’t want to be left with no way to tow my TT should it fail ,
Up north, 70 miles from the Canadian border, With 2 wheel drive I bit the bullet and got the sport on December 31.
I added an aftermarket Sirius/XM, an ARE cap, step/running boards, CAI, bed spray, undercoating, CB and GMRS radios, 100 watt HF and 75 watt 2 meter radios, roof top insulation, and a set of Camo seat covers. Kate approves, with reservations!
I miss the torque and better mpg of the diesel.
I think the tree hugging, trans loving, liberals are out to destroy the economic and efficient diesels so I surrendered to the bums!
I previously had a ‘13 unlimited Sahara diesel liberty, and a ‘91 Sahara (I left it in Hawaii in 2013).

Yea welcome over from the dark side! You got a great truck with lots of features, especially compared with a Tacoma with the same.

I am new here as well. Leased my Gladiator back in April 2023. Plane Jane Sport with max tow. Added a 1 inch level and rubi tires. Depending on how values are when my lease is up i will either buy this one or upgrade to a diesel maayyybeee.....

Whoever wrapped that truck must have used some nasty soap in the spray bottle!
