Parts, or lack thereof, are definitely a problem with the Gladiator. I ended up with a 2024 Rubicon in January 2025. (a 2024 model). However, I was trying to pull the trigger on a Max Tow that a local dealer had. I need the towing so I had it narrowed down to the Max Tow (7,650 lbs.) and the Rubicon (7,000 lbs.). I ended with the Rubicon at about 43k but for about 12k less (31k) could have had the Max Tow. I figured I could add a lot of goodies for the 12k difference.
Anyway, I made what I thought was a deal on the Max Tow then was told that they couldn't sell the vehicle at the time since it was part of a recall (something in the dashboard that didn't display the speed properly or something). I waited a couple of weeks and the dealer said they couldn't even give me an estimated date on when the parts would be received so I ended up with the Rubicon from another dealer who had what I wanted in stock. I spent 12k more but got a great deal (66k MSRP) with the Rubicon 20% off deal from Stellantis, dealer incentives, and buying it the last day of January when the dealer was desperate to make another sale.
If it weren't for a lack of parts, I would be driving a Max Tow.
