Spotted: GATOR vs GOBI Gladiator!

Where does it say "green"?

When you click on gator, the truck turns green. If it turned purple then people would be reasonable to expect purple. It wasn't an assumption of green, it was a picture of it and still is.

Dude, as pointed out above, Gator looks exactly like it does in the brochure and on the Wayout concept. Sorry you trusted the configurator.

Here's another comparison in different lighting... (Way-out concept inset)

Forget it, man. He's rolling on this whole "Jeep lied" thing.

I think I remember a You Tube video were they were talking to oeple from Jeep and they mentioned that it was specficaly made to not be green.

You're likely referring to this video:



That is Mark Allen, Head of Design at Jeep. He addresses the color at 1:46. Now he does say "Gator Green."
But then he follows that up by saying "It's the least green that we could get it."

The color in that video is what I was expecting to get. And based on the photo shared in this thread, it looks like that's exactly what we got.

All I know is mine is on a train somewhere in route and it will be coyote colored during the day and Gator colored at night, which is fine with me, as long as I'm driving it --lol

The wait and anticipation is killing me

That's the one, thank you.

Thought it would be more "military" green

Dont look like any gator to me...

 

[CarolinaGladiator]

I'm a little shocked by the negative response. As soon as I saw the Wayout concept and had it confirmed that it was indeed "Gator," that is the color I expected. The configurator can't be trusted.

Have a look...

Looks identical to me. I'm very happy with it! Can't wait to get mine!

I don't have a dog in the fight but I'm glad I didn't wait for Gator. Now had it been more like the wheels on that WAYOUT concept, WINNER!!! Just enough green to know it's not brown.

I'm okay with it. This color would have been my second choice after gator "green".

 

[Texops]

most Gators are not green

I agree. Jeep has been using the word green quite liberally.

A local car repair place paints vehicle in-house and has done some 'custom' or special order jobs.

I'm thinking about having them take my Gator Gladiator and paint over the factory paint using sparingly placed black and O.D. green camo-patterns on the body, fenders, and hood - I'm getting the matching body-color options on the fender and hood anyway, so all the shop would have to add is the patterning strips and ovals, and then the paint.

The look would say Old School hard-core Mil, but still be practical when hanging out in the boonies on fishing or hunting trips.

Wadda y'all think? Yeah, nay, or blahhh-eck!
