What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[Dp7]

What'd I do with my gladiator today? I drove it home from the dealership. Nighthawk + tow pkg. Let the adventures begin, woot!

Arrived at our destination! And having a snack off the tailgate, waiting for the ship to open!

No photos…. just arrived in Clayton, NY for 2 days of fishing in the St. Lawrence River (tomorrow & Friday). This as our first extended trip with the 24’ JTM.
One way was about 300 miles. Took us about 6.5 hours with sooooo much construction zones up Rte 81 North. The truck has almost 3,000 miles on it.

Reset all my trip & MPG data. We ended up with about 17mpg (my Instant MPG showed up mid trip).

My husband drives a BMW with Adaptive Cruise. We learned today …they’re NOT the same thing - and we honestly didn’t realize WHY. The JTM brakes will NOT hold the vehicle in stopped traffic. It’ll only STOP you but release the brakes a couple seconds after. The difference? Manual parking brake versus electronic parking brake. Makes sense….

We’ll be up early tomorrow to catch some smallmouth bass….. a little cold up there and I hope the rain stays away!

Drove it from upstate NY to Jericho Mtn state park in NH and did the 4x4 trail. It was raining and super slippery, and I was alone with kids, so took conservative lines. No issues. Spent about three hours on the various loops.

Welcome to the east coast trails. Rocky and over hanging trees.

Thanks. Yep. Rocky I love. Slippery during a rain storm makes me cautious. Meaning I didn’t go after the lines I’d have normally taken. But what a beautiful place. I’d never been to NH before today. Tomorrow will be a very relaxed Niagara Falls day.

Go on the Canadian side to see the falls. There you can go behind the falls. Also take a ride on the boat to up see the falls. We spent a week up there. It's about 6~7hrs from home.

Went to the beach yesterday.

Went to the beach today too!

Didn't want to waste space and start a thread, but I traded the Gladdy a couple days ago. Expanding family, needed room for a 3rd car seat in the rear and wanted more room for family stuff, more comfort on trips to see our family (2hrs away), etc... As much as it sucks, I think it was the right choice for right now.

Got a '23 F150 XLT with the V8. I'm sure someday I'll find my way back into the Gladiator, it's been my dream truck since I first saw the renderings online.

This is such a fun community, I've caught myself waving to a couple Jeeps over the past couple days, I felt like a traitor..

I hear you on needing the room and it sucks....for now. We end up taking the Durango on long trips for the third row (to keep the three kids sane). I came very close to leaning towards a Ram when I was replacing my Wrangler but just couldn't do it.

And don't worry....Fords have plenty of quirks to deal with that will remind you of your Jeep!

I didn’t have the kids passports with me, so stayed on the us side. We did do the maid of the mist though. Pretty cool that they’re completely electric now. Two 400v, 400amp simultaneous connections fully charge the vessel in 7 minutes flat, while unloading and loading passengers. Pretty impressive.

Glad you got the chance to see the falls. Did they take you right up to the falls? And did you get wet?
That recharging is using as much electric as a small 10,000 people town.

I’d say within 50’ of the falls. We were soaked. Well worth it.

Picked my old bike up after getting her running again (main bike is in the shop after a wreck 3 weeks ago- 2nd picture) and hauled her back home. Last picture was hauling her in to get running again the week after the accident.
