Traded in 2017 DCLB OR for Gladiator Rubicon

Yep. That’s the problem with pro’s.

 

A pro in a pro

 

Just saying. That’s 3 different sites. So Fiat is doing something but it’s not something right!

But enough points proven. OP is happy that’s all that matters I just hope he can get 3 Good trouble free years out of the Jeep as he did his Taco! I DO think the gladiator looks good with big tires but after doing lots of research when I was buying the Taco Jeep and Dodge was the only brand I didn’t even bother walking onto there lots. Good luck keep us posted

 

Off topic I know, but I’m surprised to see Honda so low. My wife has driven an Accord off and on for 20 years. Not one mechanical issue ever.

 

Yea I’m shocked by those 2! My mom has a 02 accord with 320,000km v6 auto
Original engine and tranny. They do a oil change every 20-30,000km lol runs great! Only ever needed a new alternator and wheel barring. Flawless and that thing survived 4 boys learning how to drive lol!

 

For the umpteenth time, you can order a base Gladiator Rubicon, have it delivered to the dealership for $45,290. That includes stock front/rear lockers, 4WD, manual Tcase, tow package, Fox 2" shocks, nice interior features.

Hell, the 240A alternator alone would be at least $1000 on a Tacoma with a Big Three upgrade, you get it for $250 along with the Class IV hitch and 7-pin with the Jeep. Great bang for the buck, great resale value.

 

Did you order one ?

 

If 4X4 stretch limos were my thing, I’d probably go for the Gladiator, too.

 

Sweet jesus. That shit is criminal. I have seen a number of 10 and 20k markups, but nothing in this range.

 

No joke!

 

To further this, if anyone were serious I could lead them in the right direction to actually secure an order at 5% under invoice, 6% once tread lightly affiliate program is accepted by Jeep, which will likely happen in a few more months.

5% under invoice is easily 4-5k on a Rubicon. Sure people are charging mark ups and people are paying them. That doesn't mean everyone that buys a Gladiator is a dumbass and pays extra, all you got to do is try a little.

 

No, but wouldn't mind doing so. How's Gilbert working out for you? Lived there from '95-'99. Loved it, nice base of operations.

 

It's nice! Insane amount of building and development going out here now, all the farms are being sold off and turned into homes and apartments.

 

Yup. That’s an old joke about Jeepers and their never ending mods.

 

Nice, so my Rubicon base build with base tow pkg would go from $45,290 to $42,572. Maybe even less if it's 6% below invoice. That's a great price for what you get. Yeah, it's a base soft top, I'd just try to find one of the hardtops elsewhere instead of ordering it equipped with one. Once again, I think if you order a hardtop, you'll get smacked with some additional upgrades automatically. The option packaging is where the price gets ridiculous.

 

No shit a Rubicon is more expensive than your Tacoma, it's got more shit.

Your trd pro is more than a Sr 2wd. What a waste that trd pro is.

 

Rear legroom looks noticeably better in the Gladiator. Can you confirm?

Big difference or just a nominal difference in the backseat?

 

There are one or two folks on this forum who are living in glass houses if making that statement

It’s nice having choices. I see where there is an appeal to that vehicle. I also feel very secure in my personal choice.

 

Confirmed. I've got 2 young kids so room wasn't a problem in either, but definitely more space in the Jeep.

 

I saw my first Jeep Gladiator in the wild today (an all black one). I don’t knock their off road prowess but, what an ugly thing. Absolutely no style in my opinion.
