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.
Damn, just cut his willie off by getting a subaru...

I was in your boat. I turned in my 2020 Sport S lease basically because I didn't want to spend $35K (buyoff) on a 36K mile vehicle with no amenities. Plus @ 9% (at the time).

I have a Mercedes E350 coupe that is a blast to drive, but I also leased a 2023 Honda Passport for mild SUV duties (my wife drives our Acura MDX). In short time, I missed my Gladiator. Bad. What surprised me was my family, friends, and neighbors all loved my Gladiator and were truly upset at me for getting rid of it. Especially my 2 boys.

Fast forward to January's huge discounts and I bought a 2024 Jeep Beach Edition. I couldn't be happier. The 2024+ changes make the vehicle different enough from the 2020 model. I love it. So does everyone else. Life is balanced again :CWL:

yeah...thats another thing. My kids seemed to really like the jeep. I hated letting it go for that reason. They appear to like the car as well. But im sure they would be thrilled if I got a jeep again. lol

thats what I was thinking, but didnt want to say it. I almost put, im not a butch lesbian. lol...no offense to those who are. (kinda)
Dude, you traded your gladiator for a corolla. Don't be actin all John Wayne now. An awd suburu would be perfect for you. Or stay with toyota and trade in the corolla for an all new rugged RAV4 TRD endition!

My wife almost tells me daily I should have gotten a Jeep. The lease on her ‘22 Forester is getting bought out next month and we have a ‘25 Forester coming to replace it. Then we can address the RL.

Yea looked it up....3200 lb car with 300 hp. I grew up in the 80's when car guys didn't buy corollas to brag to other car guys. Another cool fact is "corolla" is a term which means all of the petals of a flower.

I would wait to see if a new design comes out for the Gladiator. Let's see what the 26 models bring... might be worth the wait.

If it is anything like Nacho
Jeep only produced that color
for three months for the Gladiator.

As I recall one of the first Gladiators
that I saw in person was GOBI.
Very handsome indeed.

Gator was like Nacho. Gobi has been made on more than 1 year...

Which is much too short a run for indecisive people like myself. It takes me a while to warm up to some of the bolder colors, and by the time I do they're gone. I wish Jeep would offer more of them for longer, or even yearly custom orders. Offer a frickin' rainbow of options every year and I bet they'd get more sales.
