Jeep Gladiator

I don't particularly care for the box look all that much, but i believe as long as they don't price it north of 50k it'll sell pretty well to the Jeep Fan boys, whether or not it'll steal from the Taco fan club i really don't believe so. Would be nice to take my doors and top off though...

 

I think they'll come out to high a price right out of the gate, but they may keep in line with TRD Sport and OR prices. It will not surprise me to see the Rubicon version to be close to 60k.

I've seen the Jeep bruteforce conversion sold at 70k range, might be a data point to consider. But time will tell once they ramp up and mass produce the amount of issues that wranglers keep getting hit with.

 

I'm figuring it'll start around $35,000 and go up to $50k.

I agree it is everything yous said. If I could afford one the next time my wife needed a car I'd heavily push for this.. But the reliability won't be there so in the end I won't. Plus she's deadset on a Sienna or Pilot next. She said if we don't have a third child by then maybe a Ridgeline lol.

 

I actually am looking forward to this. I used to drive a Comanche and thought Jeep really missed the boat on a "truck" line. If they can make a truck with jeep capabilities while keeping it around 40k nicely equipped, then I think they may just have a game changer.

 

too bad the only engine options are the shiet Eco diesel or the 3.6

 

Honestly.. I think it's kinda ugly.

I really like the little knobs on the tailgate that lets you half-lock or half-drop the tailgate for when you're hailing longer items or a motorcycle. I'm going to see if I can do something similar on the Tacoma, but think it might be too low. It's literally a knob and lip you put the wire behind. Check this out!

 

No, I missed that. Must have slipped my mind because I OWN A FUCKING TACOMA




jk but srs I missed it because I wasn’t looking.

 

Yeah.. I'm not really a fan. Although I did like the half-drop feature on the tailgate. Perfect for towing long items or a motorcycle.

 

Oh cool...Jeep brought back the H3T lol.

 

You don't think this is seriously going to siphon Tacoma sales? Solid axles, stupid easy to fit 35" tires, stick shift still available in most trims and a diesel on the horizon.

They're gonna sell them by the boat loads.

Rofl that aluminum contraption in the bed looks like a) it holds painters tarps and paint and is on its way to that single story cape cod down the street for a reno
B) filled with burritos and pizza slices because it’s a lunch truck

 

i bet they outsell the tacomas 2:1

 

Especially if they start offering a regular cab version.

 

Oh, right, the AT Habitat that is never seen on Tacomas.

 

Good news for people who want a midsize diesel alternative to the colorado/canyon. Taking the doors off is cool too.

 

Jeep has already stated it will be priced high since its a "lifestyle" vehicle.

There's no such thing as setting too high a price in Jeep world, then you add in the 'pickup tax' and some dealer installed accessories/upgrades and POW!

 

Yes that insanely stupid looking contraption. Thank you.
