Waiting on the Bronco

[bruno747]

This had my attention back when it appeared. I wouldn't have given the JK, Gladiator, or bronco a second look if they built this just like they showed it.

So funny... The negative comments I see in Facebook Gladiator groups or posts from friends that like Gladiators are the exact same... Ugly truck... FCA is garbage... Brand loyalty and personal style are so varied... I just find it amusing

Yes...amusing...and this sure doesn’t look like the pictures you have but good luck trolling the forums...

I agree. That is an ugly vehicle. If that is the product they produce, they deserve to fail.

This was settled awhile ago. Jeep won even when it didn't have round headlamps.

What's the big deal about carrying plywood? This is mentioned quite a bit. Are there really that many contractors on this site? If you need to haul lumber, just rent a trailer for $20 at uhaul.

Ask @Jake

Hey I just scratched my head and wondered if it would fit in the bed resting on the gas pipe buldge. Everyone else here took the ball and ran with it. Run Forest run. That’s my best story so I’m gonna have to stick to it.

Not directing this at any one person, but just so everybody is clear...you do know that automakers use "mules" to test powertrains, right? And lots of times the mules look nothing at all like the production vehicle, right? Clearly this photo is just a Ranger with the body chopped down to fit the frame and powertrain they are doing test calibration on.

I am for the Gladiator for the time being and I am a Ford, Chevy, Ram, Toyota, Jaguar and Land Rover...etc owner of vehicles. And for me I came to closure yesterday to get the Gladiator after driving her for a second time. I traded my prized possession a 2018 Toyota TRD Pro Calvary Blue. And I made my decision based on I feel the Gladiator will retain its value better than most cars, trucks and suvs. If you buy the right vehicle you will not take a huge loss. And my 4Runner was a 48k vehicle and got 42k trade. I just recently as well traded my Ford Raptor truck which I paid 70k and got 60k for her. Summing it up I feel strongly you can drive your Gladiator and if you take care of her and not high mileage she will be valuable to sell or trade 2-3 years from now. So OP enjoy the Gladiator for 2-3 years and by that tone the Bronco will be in the market and if it’s truly more appealing then trade your Gladiator in and or sell her. I think the used market for Gladiators will not be very big over the next 2-3 years. Just like Ford Raptors and Toyota TRD Pro Trucks and 4Runners. Many Toyota dealers take TRD pros back in and retail them close to their original MSRP.
And here’s my new Firecracker Red Rubicon Gladiator.

Lumber is most often used when talking about dimensional solid pieces of Pinus palustris, or commonly referenced as a broadleaf pine.

PLYWOOD, however, is an amalgamation of multiple veneers of wood oriented perpendicular to each other for strength with industrial glue.

You suggest we just throw these treasure sheets of building prowess into some rent-a-trailer? The JT has been specifically designed to haul plywood, the reason why it's Plywood rated.

Bro, don't you plywood?

Ugly truck

I don't know what people are smoking. I honestly think it's the best looking truck on the market. When I think of badass get work done, I immediately think military vehicle like the Warthog.

What looks the closest? Gladiator. Oh and BTW, I did not serve in the military so I'm unbiased to the military aspect of my opinion.
