Traded in 2020 Sport S Gobi max tow...got sport car...now thinking gladiator

It's the same 3.6 engine on all Gladiators. No difference.

Are you open to getting a '24 or something? You could score a great deal with older models and then just do a wrap for the color.

nah I dont think so. It seems to me that there are already good deals on current rubicons being that many have discounts already plus the extra 7,000 bonus cash.

Do you like Nacho?

PM me.

I do like nachos, especially taco bell. not looking for used. :P Actually I dont even know that I am looking but I am considering it heavily with the Mojito which I always said i would get if they ever did it on the trucks.

also...yeah its not super fast. Ive had fast fast.. This is one is ok...its 300hp awd turbo 1.6 3cyl. Handles great though. Its fun....just at 41 with 3 kids, im starting to think my wife was right.

Never admit it!

Yeah, I’ve had fast cars too, but the turbo, good handling/well balanced, manual transmission fwd cars are a blast. It’s different, but also very fun.

One of my all time favorite cars
was a Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo hatchback.
It was all I needed.

Except for my '74 Honda Civic
which was the most fun per dollar.

My Mirage and my Civic were all I needed.

And my Fiat 850 Abarth in West Germany.

My Mirage, Civic and Fiat Abarth
were all I needed.

And my '62 Buick Skylark convertible
with 215 CI aluminum block V8
and a 4-barrel carb...

What about something like a suburu crosstrek? A little more room maybe than what you have and still awd. You could step up to an outback for even more room.

I'm in a similar boat. Traded in my Subaru Legacy GT for a '24 Ridgeline Trailsport in October. It was that or a Gladiator. 6 months later, I realize I should have gotten the Jeep.

ive had fwd cars too. I prefer awd or rwd for those. Believe me i like the little car, but i miss more about the gladiator than i like so far about the GR corolla. I loved it at test drive and getting it. Now that ive been using it for a month its a bit different love now.

lol I had the jeep. Traded it in and miss it more than i love the new one. Plus i said if mojito ever came, i would have one. Guess now makes a good time. Though i probably could have avoided the car part. hahah. We will see what happens I guess.

I got married.

I got married.

touche'. Ive let a fully built (that i built) big single turbo 94 supra go. A z06 corvette. A bmw 335i. etc. All because ive always had ideas that i would like something else more. These days I smack myself for ever letting my Supra build go. Honestly the gladiator was one that ive ever kept the longest at close to 5 years. I figured id keep it forever, but then the car itch hit again and I thought i would be happy with getting it and a cheap old high mileage truck to do the truck junk...but at the moment its not hitting like that.

negative. thanks for tossing out an option though.

Oh are those AWD? I forgot. I had a tuned S3. That was a very fast car. Also, S4 manual and M340i X drive. Those were fast and nice, but didn’t touch the Audi after it was tuned and had a few bolt ons. It had almost 400 WHP and was pretty light.

yeah. i wouldnt mind a M340i and was one of the ones i was contemplating due to the turbo inline 6 and the more room. I imagine it would have kind of been like my old 335i, just now with a B58 instead of N55 engine.

B58 is stout.
