$70,000 Jeep Gladiator. So fast you can't blow its doors off.

Never saw the point in those little tube doors, it's not like the stock doors were considered safety devices anyway. At least not for the TJ, I don't know as it's gotten bigger and heavier if they've said differently.

 

Looks like the interior will leak.

 

What issues did you have with the the Scat Pack?

 

5th gear took a shit about 2.5 years in.
Synchro, fork, shifter rail and eventually the entire 5th gear assembly.

Cause per dealership......resting my hand on the shifter.

 

Warranty cover it?

 

Absolutely,
It was down a couple days. No biggie.
I just never felt the same about the car after that.

However, I didn't want chrysler/fiat to leave a bad taste in my mouth so I decided to go with the JLU Rubi. 7yr/70k warranty.

 

Canadian or US $$?

 

It’s all fun and games until you realize that you paid $70k for a truck you can’t drive in the rain.

 

Why does the Rubicon have a different warranty?

 

You mean length?
You can get whatever you like when youre signing. Basic or extendage coverage.
I figured since it was a 1st year production model, I wanted a bit more than the basics.
To many electronic gadgets in vehicles these days.

 

So you got an extended warranty? Not that the Rubicon came with a different length warranty.

 

yes, the offered several.

 

Just noticed all the grab handles. Looks like a minimum of 8.

 

That's for all the ladies that will be mobbing this truck at mudfest 2020!

Well that's what the salesman said to me...

My truck only has 1... a really fat heavy duty one...

 

I like how they just state "lift". For almost $10k, I'd expect to see some serious info posted about it. And, it better be a pretty impressive lift!

 

I agree they should have laid out some info at least. I did look, not sure about the lift brand.
But it did have some really nice FOX shocks.

 

Better lifts available now at well below $10k:



Longer wheelbase means there's room to convert the rear to a triangulated 4-link setup with no track bar.

 

I think the Gladiator is Jeep's version of the Ridgeline. It looks like a pickup version of the Wrangler while the Ridgeline looks like a pickup version of the Pilot.

 

$43,545 base price for a Rubicon is a good deal IMO. The option packages are outrageous though. You can't get just one thing you want, no no, Jeep gonna add in another $1000 or two of things I don't want.

If I was in the market for a truck bed again I'd consider the base Rubicon and go aftermarket for the few things I'd want to enhance it.
