2013 Jeep Gladiator Pickup

This truck caught my attention today at a local dealership, I have to admit it was different...





Asking price $53,500 but would take $52,000

 

Thats cool, but $52K?
With name like gladiator, you would think it would have some kick ass plate bumpers and skids.
I'd pay low $30s

 

IMO, it's hideous

Those rims are ridiculous! Otherwise, I agree with Rob, I'd consider it for around $30k. I'd like to see a full 4 door model.

That looks like it could be a kit though. I'm not aware that the Gladiator ever made it into production by Jeep.

EDIT: I stand corrected, looks like Jeep wants to try and play with the pickups!

 

It needs the SRT8 motor...so no thanks!

 

... ^^^ ... I like it ... ...... but not $52K worth ... ...... and I wonder how dependable it is ...
.

 

Yeah, it's a kit only 200 customized at this point...

 

It's a Jeep for Bros.....Breep

 

Thats a JK8 package. Kind of like a "brute" conversion bit the JK8 parts are by Mopar.

The base of a JK8 is an 07+ JK Unlimited.

 

Hold on, I'll be back! I'm gonna go convert my wife's Rubicon to a Gladiator real quick, then I'll post it up for sale. First $40K gets it!

 

Horrid... Absolutely horrid.

 

The big ole wheels are ghey tarded.

 

Yup, as previously said it's a kit... You can do it to older models too.

 

a BIG waste of money for nothing...IMO

 

Uh ya that's fing bad ass

 

I saw several kits and concept Jeeps in the new Truck Trend mag. The FC Forward Control pickup and the J10 retro pickup are way better looking than that JK8 abomination.

 

id rock it

 

2nd gen? Also I wasn't aware you had to pay extra for a transmission and a roof.

 

This rocks, jeep really needs to make a pickup again...
