What's New - 2023 Gladiator Colors

[OIIIIIIIO]

For what it's worth, I received this from my local dealer yesterday.
I understand many believe dealers are usually not the best source of info.

The photo is from Ken Garff CJDR in Salt Lake City, and they have always treated me fair and given me accurate information.
Reach out to Austin if you want additional info.

Agreed a small child could have put together the PDF/Image with photoshop, but I have hope of ordering Punk'n someday.

I am starting to think Punk'n is a red herring for being a actual 2023 color. That date they quote is in the middle of when 2023 orders would most likely stop and not enough time before the 2024 change over.

Hilarious looking flyer. I will wait for the 2023 Press Kit before I believe any of these supposed rumors (I wonder if they are going off of the Mopar Insiders article of have their own source).

Uh could they not find a stock photo of a Punk'n gladiator? Seems that would've actually been the easiest of all three.

They made a mistake replacing snaz

Wonder if the "j1: 9/5" on bottom left is order opening?

Agree with keeping snazberry! Punk'n is the ONLY color I would consider over sarge green! So if my Mojave was orange, would it have green accents? I may have to order a new one?

I'll be hanging on to my Punk'n '20 Gladiator Overland until the color is available again. I had to shop outside my local area to get the one I have when I bought it new in June '20. I get compliments on the color all the time.

I think ordering is open already. I did see an article saying production of the 2023 MY starts 9/5, so I’m thinking that’s what that is

You’re right. Makes sense that’s production date. Just heard back from Mark Dodge, where we just ordered a JL, and they’re saying January for ordering Earl.

 

[Pedal Metal]

I’m underwhelmed.

I realize that each of these colors has a camp, but I’m really surprised that they would design the yellow to be a new ”Core Colors”. Take note Stellanti, that’s just 1 color”S” (grammar matters). Then, they wait to release the first limited color months later and that Earl was used on a concept. THEN, Punk’n is held back until practically the end of the model year, and Punk’n seems to have a huge fan base. Speaking of Oh’s…. Oh, and what about the “Metallic Gecko” aka MOJITA that was previously leaked to be released in ‘22, but it just vanished into the wind.

Earl was announced as a 2022 color that never arrived. Mojito is NOT a “metallic Gecko”. Gecko is Gecko and it was released as announced.
Gecko was a 2012-2013 Wrangler color that was replaced with Hyper Green. Mojito was released as a new JL color
For 2022, Gecko came back for a limited run on the Wrangler and the Gladiator. High Velocity seems to be the “wild” color for this year

You are clearly right that Earl was earmarked as a ‘22 color.

As for my mention of “Metallic Gecko”, well, drivetribe previously leaked the ‘22 gladiator colors which was picked up in a thread below. Drivetribe has since deleted the linked article within and changed their business model, but this was the initial special color listing for 2022 and a few people were referencing in within tge board. The article referred to gecko as “Gecko Pearlcoat Metallic“.

I later referenced this article with a question to a GSM when I was ordering my second Glad and asked him early in 2022 if he could check with his Jeep Rep on the accuracy of these colors and release dates. I was told that the rep was surprised that I had the information and it wasn’t wrong, but he didn’t have specific dates. I was also told that mojito was simple gecko with metallic added. So, I was simply trying to speak in context of the original ‘22 leaked color article.

I still think that was a typo referencing Gecko that was finishing up its 2021 run. Nothing is official until it's official and even then, I don't trust anything 100% until you can order it and it shows up at the dealer. High Velocity was supposed to be a 2022 color too and obviously, that didn't happen. I'm pretty sure Earl is still coming, but there is a distinct possibility that it might not and I will have waited a long time for nothing.

Honestly I am in the same boat on Earl. It may sound stupid, but as I have waited this long my mind wanders in potential different directions. Could decide to reshuffle the stable in a different direction and Jeep might have missed out on a sale by playing stupid games.
