Hello all, it's been a while I'm not new to forum, I'm not new to gladiators and not new to Jeeps, but I do find myself in a indecision situation.
Here's backstory I picked up a gladiator sport in 2020 upgraded that to a 21 Mojave and then thought that I wanted a four-door Wrangler, and I swapped that for a sweet 2023 Rubicon XR pretty much loaded. It's been 2 years and I absolutely love the look of my Wrangler. But I'm on the fence, as there's not a week that doesn't go by that it would be a lot easier if I just had a gladiator again. I did pick up a 3/4 ton four-door truck but then I find myself working on that instead of driving my Jeep. And I do not under any circumstance need a 3/4 ton truck.
To get back to the question at hand I'm thinking about swapping my 23 Rubicon for either a 26 Willys sport or a 2023 Rubicon. I'm really kind of torn between the two, the 2023 Rubicon is about six grand cheaper with 20k miles. The 26 Willys is brand new and a great deal. I put about 15k miles a year on them. I have never used the front lockers or sway bar disconnect on my Rubicon. I pretty much know what I want out of the Gladiator and 33s with a level kit is about all I need for my daily commute. The only negative on the Willys is it does not have the premium sound system the rubi does. Which I know how to fix that.
I guess the question comes down to a used rubi or do I go new willys sport? Thoughts? $6k won't break me , or is it better to have it and not need it.
