Go rent one on the weekend. Every time I get the wild hair to pick up something else, I rent one for the weekend and happily toss them the keys when I've got it out of my system.

I traded in a 2018 Challenger RT Scat Pack for the Gladiator. Reason being I rarely drove the Challenger any more. Had it out couple times last year.

Yep,
I used to own a 2011 RT challenger and was a fun day Sunday car,as stated above rarely drove it so I sold it to get into a new 2018 wrangler.
and then the wrangler to the gladiator.
Always missed the challenger.
My father Has A red eye hellcat so I can get my horsepower fix if needed.

Traded my 2010 RT in with 15,805 miles on it for a Gladiator May 2021
Not sorry but I miss the Challenger especially now since 23 will be the last year for the Hemi's in them and the Chargers.
I'm past mid-life crisis.
My wife and I wanted one of the
"Last Call" Scat Packs so we traded in her Dodge Journey for the Charger. Now these two senior citizens are having a blast.

We're keeping the Gladiator and Scat Pack until someone puts us in a nursing home.
Buy the Challenger now before they'll all gone. You can always buy another Gladiator.

That was my thought,
But 10k over sticker 9.9 % financing.
That is a lot of extra money.
been trying to beat them down for a few days.
just doesn't seem logical,at least for me.

I'm in central Pennsylvania and drove 3 hours to get ours at sticker $. Plus $1,500 cash back
Went right buy a dealer that has them marked up 6 grand.
I hope them cars sit on them lots and rot. Sad that some dealers are scumbags.

Thinking about trading the gladiator for a challenger.
obviously a fan of the color.
will I regret and or miss the gladiator?
Or will my middle aged dreams come true.

I went the other way and had a BMW M car. Traded it in for the Gladiator. Always got to get that out of your blood. Do what you want and go for it!

I did the opposite. Had a 2018 challenger that I traded in for gladiator in 2020. The challenger was fun, but going fast in a straight line does wear off overtime. Gladiator being able to go anywhere and do pretty much everything I want to, made it the most fun vehicle I’ve ever owned. Just depends on what you’re looking for.

My Dad just bought this redeye hellcat and I wanted to get a hot rod so we could enjoy Friday night cruise in or Sunday car show events together.
and the widebody sublime 6 speed shaker hood beast was calling to me.
but financially un realistic with the high mark up and today's finance rates are off the charts.
was 1.9 % when I bought gladiator.

Hello, I think I understand your position. I have a Gecko Gladiator also. I wanted to get a 2023 Last Call Challenger also. I ran into the same thing as you. No deals and high interest rates. Getting rid of my Gladiator was not an option because I had to have that Green, and Gecko is no more. I decided the Last Call tag under the hood wasn't the end of the World for me. I got on Dodge.com entered Challenger R/T and did a Nationwide search for the Lowest priced cars. You can enter the options and color you want to narrow the search. You have to click on each car and link to the Dealer to see the discounts offered. I found a new 2022 left over for $10,000 off sticker. I still had to pay the high Interest rate, but oh well. I got my car in Ohio and live in Michigan. You only know your budget. I think you should keep the Gladiator though.

Soooo. Below is my other car. While not the Scat Pack version they are fun but i would NOT drive it everyday.

i much prefer the Gladiator for everyday driving and usage. Wait til you you notice the gas mileage is twice as bad as a gladiator.
