    Re: Jeep Gladiator

    I would absolutely love to be driving around in the Gladiator. I’m sure it’s pretty cool. A few Jeep guys at work and after a drive in one I was very impressed by how absolutely smooth it was on the road. I thought for sure it would knock my fillings out. I was so wrong. I’d like to test drive the new Gladiator.

    Joe, I'm in a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland as my daily but have taken a Wrangler JLU out for a test drive few times and really liked it.
    It is a bit more hard core than the GC. Since I always wanted a Wrangler but have never pulled the trigger, I may consider the Wrangler JLU next. I don't really have any need or use for a pickup but the Gladiator sure does look nice and you have the top to pop when the weather is nice.

    It’s definitely a cool package. And, the Jeeps are one of the few vehicles that really hold their value for some reason. I guess the popularity has something to do with it.

    I had a very early Grand Cherokee and loved that vehicle. It was around the time we had some terrible winter years and I was driving through tons of snow without a care in the world. I wasn’t cocky but felt confident and was coming to work when nobody else even tried. Amazing.

    The Wranglers certainly do hold value. I would imagine it would be similar with Gladiators.

    Re: Jeep Gladiator

    I have a Gladiator Launch Edition ordered. Probably won't get it till late August tho. They had a delay in the color I wanted. Granite Crystal. I haven't driven one, but when I saw it in the flesh last year at CES I was hooked.

    I have a JK Wrangler and my wife has a JLU Wrangler. You could say we are a Jeep family.

    Definitely Jeep fan family in my book. Congrats on the Gladiator! Nice color choice!

    I’m starting to see quite a few Gladiators out on the streets. Then again I see at least 3-5 Wranglers on a “few mile” local errand trips. Of course the Jeep dealer within a few miles of my house has something to do with skewing the odds of seeing a Jeep

    I have had 4 jeeps and currently have a JK Rubicon Unlimited. The gladiator looks nice but i think it needs a lift and some wider arches and wheels. Right now it looks a little bit too svelte imho.
