After some searching and bouncing between new and used I finally pulled the trigger on a used 2022 Gladiator Mojave. It's got 14k miles great condition and CPO (not sure how much that really adds); but also had the features I wanted. I'm coming from a full-size Ram 1500 so still some adjustment to the interior and bed space, but at the same time I'm liking being able to navigate tight parking lots a bit easier. Plus compared to my last truck this thing practically sips gas!

Congrats on your first Jeep. Welcome to the Funhouse. You will not regret it. I have owned a 93 Wrangler for 20 years, but took the same leap you did a month and a half ago. I traded in my lifted 2014 Silverado Badlander edition. It was an awesome truck. The adjustment to something smaller did not take long. I absolutely love the Gladiator!. I have owned a full size truck since 1999. Dodge, GMC and Chevy. I have not regretted my decision. I look forward to driving this truck every day. The pints about easier to maneuver, park and gas mileage are just a few of the reasons, lol.

Jeep wave, fellow Jeeper.

Welcome to the cool kids club. :) You for sure lost some interior room compared to your Ram but that just means you'll be cozier with your passengers. Lol. Prepare to smile all the time while driving your Jeep. ?

Congratulations on the new truck!

The thing about your Gladiator is that it immediately makes anyone that owns it a master at justification- you are going to become a master at convincing yourself you NEED a whole lot of things you didn't think you NEEDED prior to seeing them on this forum.

Good luck!

Welcome to jeeping. I want to hear your gas mileage in a year after the mod bug hits.

My old ram 1500 got about 12mpg. You can match that with the glady if you work hard at it. I know you will.
