Video: TFL hands-on with Jeep Gladiator

[jeepguy225]

Will it be 0000 March 30, or 2400 March 30 (24 hour clock)?? We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

midnight is called 'zero hundred hours'. Didn't you ever military bro? lol

I always subscribe to the leave the doors unlocked with a soft top theory. Crazy people out there take a knife to your top for .37 cents and half pack of gum.

Just have to figure out how to set the alarm without locking the doors.

If this is accurate, and it would appear to be, pricing will be released at 12:01am on Saturday the 30th, which will be 10:01pm on Friday for me in Denver. Taking my son to the Denver auto show this Thursday, but not getting my hopes up I can do more than look but not touch.

No such thing as 2400 in the 24 hour clock....

2400 is not used often, but it is a correct way to notate midnight as the end of the day. 0000 and 2400 are interchangeable, though most people do stick with 0000.

I had a uncle who would always leave his doors unlocked. His mantra was, they're going to get in anyway, do you want a broken window, or just a stolen radio? I'd rather have only a stolen radio.

What do you mean by production add on? It was my understanding that it was a option as shown in the build and price tool. Are we talking about the same thing? Or are you saying it will be standard equipment that was decided on after the test mules were built?
Sorry, meant option for factory models that wasn’t put on many of the mules at the car shows.

TFL guy says pricing will be available “Midnight March 30”!!!

See - like I mentioned in another thread. Pricing will be released while we are all sleeping.

at 4:00 he shows the ulocking the tonneau cover and it looks like the "weekend warrior" position isn't actually held in place by anything, its like its just only rolled up, one half revolution......guess we'll need to see more of that.

Really Jake, another manufactured crisis? Do you really think a multinational corporation that went out of there way to brag about the new feature of their tonneau cover didn’t think about it blowing closed while driving? How much you want to bet that the weekend warrior position will work as advertised? Just because you didn’t see Roman take the time to secure it in the very quickly thrown together preview video does not mean it doesn’t secure.

No homerun, no manufactured crisis. I add Steffen’s post here. He wondered: it looks like the “weekend warrior” position isn’t actually held in place by anything.

Go replay the video yourself and you will see what he is talking about. See from 3.49 through 3.51 in the video. There’s some substantial hardware there that looks to me like it’s designed to hold the cover firmly in place once it’s fully shut. But in looking at the video once he folds it a tad further from the weekend warrior position it looks like that hardware does nothing to hold it into that position. I have never seen the truck and am not an engineer so this is just my humble opinion. It really does not matter at all to me as I will put a hard cover on my truck, will not put a soft cover on. Again I was just commenting on Steffen’s observation.

Hey Steffen isn’t this what you were talking about?

 

[Jake]

Looks like proof to me!

lol, homerun is funny.

That circled thingy locks into place I think.

What will really worry you is how did she close the tonneau cover 3 times from 5:22 to around 6:10 of the video below, and just flip it back open? What if somebody just walked up to your JT and could flip open the tonneau cover without unlocking your tailgate? LOL, i'm sure there's an explanation, i'm teasing people!

Hey Steffen I just looked at the video from your post and at 6.14 she pulls a red tab to unlock it from the weekend warrior position. Mystery solved.

 

[JTRUBI]

There is a new video which shows it as well. I posted it up.

I took his "midnight on the 30th" to actually mean 12:00am on Sunday 3/31. Either way it'll be nice to finally be able to crunch some numbers to see what options I can afford!

 

[jayd33]

Midnight EST????

That would make sense as both Toledo and Auburn Hills are EST.

Per what @DenverGladiator posted, it's going to be 12:01 am ET March 30:

I've always gone with "balls" "midnight" or "what the shit, who's waking me up for watch/some made up emergency?"
