I am not a fan of the short grill. Sure it will be easier to get off with aftermarket bumpers and winches in the way but it looks like a jeep compass grill or one of those ugly little box jeep things.

I like the new grill design. It has practical advantages for removal and winch use but also the shorter openings make the vehicle look somewhat wider from the front which I think is a cosmetic improvement that the Stellantis design team was aiming for.

That new grille looks ugly to me too...but with the winch on top of the bumper it doesn't look quite as bad.

I hate Jeep tied the Warn winch to the steel bumper group on their site. Looks like a few things are less configurable, hopefully that'll change closer to being available. A crash tested winch/bumper combo has value, but I like the OEM steel bumpers and don't want to be saddled with an overpriced light duty 8K lbs winch. That's not going to winch those vanlifers and HD trucks out ?

I like it. Needs reclining rear seats tho. Wish the rear seats in the Gladiator would recline just a little….even our old Patriot did.

Glad I didn't wait for a 24MY......... Uconnect5 and a new grill are not enough feature wise to feel like I lost or missed out

Power seats are the only thing appealing to me. The Uconnect 5 would be except I hear of lots of problems with it from the GC owners. Wouldn’t touch that for a couple more years once they’ve worked out the issues.

Just give us the whole thing in the Gladiator. Full X package with the 4xe or 392.
