[POLL] Will you be purchasing/trading in for a 2025 Gladiator 4xe?

[storyg]

The electronics may please many but I would prefer a JEEP to be more like my old J-10. Which I still kick myself for selling to a friend of mine years ago. I miss that old truck. Except for its too skinny and small drum brakes which made standing on the brakes an often-used technique to Whoa Nellie. Especially when all four drums were wet from rain. No electronics and no electric windows or door locks. Simple. Never happen from the factory again I know but I'd buy a Gladiator in a minute if it was a stripper. A truck. A truely fundamental off-road vehicle first, and pavement queen second. But of course, easily configured by an owner with factory or aftermarket add-ons to be whatever we want them to be mechanically, electrically and electronically off road, on-road or both.

I voted yes, but they're probably won't be a manual transmission available in a 4XE, so unless they completely eliminate a clutch pedal in the JT line, I'll be passing.

If Jeep wants more money from me, the only answer is Hurricane 6MT

In the world of things that will never happen, this combo will never happen the most. I think Jeep is more likely to axe the manual altogether than they are to put the I6TT into the JL and JT. And lord knows even if they DID put the I6TT in this platform AND keep the 6MT, they certainly wouldn't combine them.

Yo.

They cant even get 2x 12v batteries to work and you want a 60v hybrid battery tucked under the bed?

Lol this is too true

If I was in the market and I believed that the Gladiator isn't getting canceled after '24 sure, but am totally happy with my current truck and miss not having payments.

I don’t even know what I’m eating for dinner tonight.

 

[Badunit]

No for me, but I won't go so far as "I'll die before ever buying one". My vote is "No, unless an EV becomes the only kind of small truck that we can buy". Or "No, until the range and fill up time become equivalent to a gasser and battery fires can be put out and battery replacement is not so costly and the special materials for the batteries and motors do not have us dependent on China".

Other than that, I'd love to have the torque an EV provides.

 

[Sweetums]

I'm going with "no" because I just barely got my EcoDiesel and would like to at least buy a set of tires before I trade it.

I'm very interested in a plug in hybrid that uses essentially zero fuel for 90% of my driving and can operate silently to sneak around the woods and get photos of the critters.

 

[AyeCantSeeYou]

I would only consider upgrading to the hurricane straight 6. You should add option in your poll.

No. But not for any of the listed reasons in the poll. I like to hold onto vehicles and avoid car payments.

I’m super excited to see a 4xe, but unless I win the lottery-pass.

 

[coalcracker]

Same as some of the others — I like my current Gladiator that I just got in January, but none of the options in the poll align with my reason.

The system is WAY overly complex. Especially compared to the extremely straightforward 3.6.

You have the turbo, the e-torque motor, the high voltage system, the electric motors, the clutch system to combine them, the added cooling, etc.

NOT A CHANCE

One and done with these plug in hybrids. Never again.

Do modern generators have to run blue DEF? Is that where the savings come from?

While the poll isn't over, it seems like the overall consensus is a fat "No" (along with me being an idiot).

A lot of ppl claimed they'll die before going hybrid/EV which doesn't surprise me.

My prediction is that when Cali gas prices are the new norm, a lot of people's hands will be forced. At that point, I probably wouldn't be buying an over-engineered Stellantis product though
