Jeep Gladiator

It does have a bit of awkwardness in the design, but I'm sure once lifted with some bigger tires they will look mean. Bravo to Jeep for building it and offering a manual. If it follows similar pricing to the new Wrangler though, the price point might be kind of tough

 

They should’ve had AEV design it. The way it sits, it’s a cuboid vehicle that they threw curves into and looks goofy, as well as the rear fender flare continuing into the rear quarter panel.

 

I noticed that too! How is that going to flex?

 

I'd consider buying one if I were in the market and I hope is sells like crazy. Because if Toyota doesn't have any competition pushing them we will just get more of the same.

 

For its size seems like impressive towing and payload if the "leaked" information is to be believed. I wonder how many buyers this pulls from Tacoma vs Wrangler buyers.

Shame someone won’t make something with a smaller wheel base like a new samauri or tracker style vehicles

 

Great specs on paper. Unfortunately comes standard with legendary Chrysler unreliability and can’t have a conversation at normal volume over 50 mph Jeep cabin.

 

I'll never eveeerrrrr buy a cry-slur. Their TIPMS can eat a dick.

We'll see how these are doing in about 10 years when I'm ready to sell mine...

 

But will it come to the USA....

 

Closer to the Samurai than the Tracker, but yeah.

 

Nope

 

I would buy one if it wasn't an FCA product.

 

Well damn bro. Way to tease

 

I'm glad they decided to call it the Gladiator and not the Scrambler.

Solid front axle, diesel

 

Too bad they didn't go this way (Kaiser concept):

 

My feeling is, at first, there will be lots of hype. Then majority of the people will realize daily driving a Wrangler STILL isn't that comfy. Off-roading crowd will stick to regular Wranglers without the big caboose hanging up everywhere. I doubt it'll have any significant affect on Tacoma sales. If I were Toyota, I'd be much more concerned about the Ranger.

 

Nice to see a new pickup with a Manual Trans option!

 

I think they look cool as hell.
