Poor Gladi

[Kblanton]

I like and understand what is being said about sales numbers but every time anyone post these numbers the only thing I can see is how many lost sales are there because they couldn't/wouldn't make vehicles.

Truth can only be known if we could go back and do the last 3 years over again without covid and shortages.

but the Wrangler still killing it in comparison

How so? Wrangler has had a larger decline than the Gladiator, by 3 percentage points.

Hmm, not sure that's what matters. JT was expected to satisfy a smaller market than the JL. That's not an issue. That's literally comparing apples to oranges.

That's why they put it all into percents/ratios. That's what really matters.

^ This.

I haven't read all 8 pages and I'm assuming the OP posted this as a tongue-in-cheek thread, but I think a lot of us know that the Gladiator was a victim of chip poaching from its more popular brother.

Production Of Popular Jeep Gladiator Halted Due To Chip Shortage

Flagship products like the Jeep Wrangler are given priority of the scarce supply while more niche products like the Gladiator suffer. This doesn’t mean you won’t be able to find a new Gladiator on a dealer lot. Jeep will resume production when they need to build more Gladiators for customers once the current stock is depleted. Until then, Jeep will build what it can with the limited microchip supply.

Many industry experts say that new vehicle supply won't return to normal until at least mid-2023. It all depends on where the manufacturers allocate their chips. I don't think we can put much value on sales figures until then.

I posted this above previously in this thread.

This link shows that the Wrangler received available chips while the Gladiator production halted as a result. If I sold that many Wranglers, I would pivot allocation too.

Sales numbers (across the board - from all manufacturers) are just skewed right now.

We on the western side of Pa. wish that Philly would drop into the ocean.

Close. I'm on the Mon river, where RT 40 crosses it. Halfway between Pittsburgh and Morgantown WV. Fayette county.

Interesting, until very recently, I didn't see a gladiator on the road in my township for anything...Now they are seen quite a bit, and many in Aqua Blue which pisses me off ? because now my Glad. is not quite as unique as it used to be. I hope the Ladies don't stop staring at Mojave down by the bay because of this.?

Same here in Texas. I used to see one or two Gladiators. Now, I see them everywhere.
