I want to like this so bad but something about the proportions isnt mixing right for me.

[Blackmare]

I hear you. I was drooling when I saw the two door renders, but the four door doesn't quite do it for me.

[RedSN]

yep, make it a 2-door pickup.

[Blackmare]

That looks damn cool. Get why they made the Gladiator a four door with the 4 door Wranglers outselling the 2 doors so badly, but the 2 doors look horny as hell.

I considered the conversion when I was shopping for a new truck. But it was too expensive ....and...well...it would have taken me 3 years to build.

[Laffs]

Yeah the 2dr / Extend cab makes it look a whole lot better.

I feel like the 7600# tow rating is a bit modest

It terrifies me considering the standard JK has a 4000lbs capacity and even doing that feels sketch. Be interesting to see how they upper the capacity that much.

Plus a Ram 1500 is highly likely to be cheaper........
To me this is a fail on many levels, but I guess we will see.

The engine alone is gonna be a dog towing any significant weight

It's something new that has round headlights and a 7 bar grill. People will buy boatloads of them at sticker, dump bulk cash in to accessories, then somehow beat depreciation when they sell them for the next gen model. Objectively they shouldn't, but they will.

[Ponyryd]

^Yeah but it looks stupid. Same as the newly proposed Bronco (overgrown Jeep Renegade)

They’re supposed to be offering the 3.0 ecodiesel as an option, not sure if it will happen, but if it does those can tow a lot. And actually, the 2.0 turbo with the mild hybrid will be good for towing as well.

Saw one in Michigan today

[Scrape]

Looks similar to a Honda Ridgeline. Ok maybe not so much when I compare it more...:P

They both look like poop.

Honestly looks like the chassis is shifted to far forward under the body.

[Ponyryd]

^yup, not feeling it.

[55 HD]

Maybe it's just me. But I live in the north where it is legal to ride ATV, Side X Side and snowmobiles on the main street down town, so I thing this truck with roof off and doors removed could be the cats meow.

I say it is a win in the right place. I would do it.

Ya I’m sure it will be popular in areas like that, as well as sunny states. Apparently the box is made to haul toys, like quads and dirtbikes

Jeep Gladiator 2020 has just become my dream vehicle. Tell me if you get any update about discounts.

[ZR]

Pretty damm cool.

[R3troGT]

Saw one at the dealer the other day. In base form it looks boring.

[Ponyryd]

^They look terrible, and they’re still like $50k. We had a stripper like that but in silver, we swapped out the wheels for some nice 19” black/machined wheels with mudders, it sold with a week. Jeep is way out to lunch on the pricing. People don’t want a smaller truck, they want a cheaper truck, don’t bring out a smaller one for the same or more than a Ram, then be surprised when it fails.

You would have different discounts in Florida than we would have in Canada.....but that one you posted looks cool.

Can't believe it has the same wheels as my wife's 2004 Liberty!!

[Reggie]

This truck is beyond over priced. There are loaded Rubicons on the Trader for close to $70k

[Ponyryd]

Can't believe it has the same wheels as my wife's 2004 Liberty!!

Lol, well it doesn’t. I’m sure you’re kidding, but in case you’re not they use a different bolt pattern now.

[Old Fart]

LOL... my first look at that picture made me think of the Liberty wheels.

https://i.postimg.cc/zG7drMNS/IMG-0875.jpg

[Ponyryd]

They’re terribly plain wheels-I agree. Epic fail on Jeep’s part...to me they should have started with the Rubicon only, then brought out the strippers a few months later.
Funny thing, my dealer was told they had to order 30 vehicles to get a Gladiator early, we chose to take no vehicles and wait an extra 2 weeks.

[RedSN]

Too many doors. Needs more box.

[RedSN]

Seen a few of these running around now. Cool looking little rig. Still think it needs a single cab Comanche version.
So I looked up the price. :omg:

Similarly equipped to my truck would be $53k.

[Laffs]

Give me modern this

Although I will add that the 4 doors have really grown on me

[Screw]

The more YouTube videos I watch the more I like

[allicedout]

Just visited Peel Chrysler Jeep yesterday, they have a lifted Gladiator Rubicon in the showroom. If you need convincing go have a look.

[Gabe]

saw one on the road today, looked good

[Blackmare]

They have to be lifted with 35's to my eye to look good. Out of proportion otherwise.

[RedSN]

.... a lifted Gladiator Rubicon in the showroom. If you need convincing go have a look.

https://www.4wheelparts.com/the-dirt/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/09/Rubicon-Express-2.5-inch-Jeep-Gladiator-Lift-Lead.jpg

Yeah, that looks wicked as hell. Still too many doors.

And while I was there I bought a Jeep....

[Scrape]

Congratulations Hemant!
And while I was there I bought a Jeep....

[Blackmare]

And while I was there I bought a Jeep....Pics and details?

[ZR]

Nice purchase.

[allicedout]

Pics and details?

Been back and forth about getting the girls something to replace the Civic, the more we looked the more I realized that they didn't want a car. They finally mustered up the strength to tell me they wanted a Jeep. So like a good dad I showed them a Jeep Compass....... at which point they both laughed at me! Looked at a new Jeep Wrangler but way over budget, hell even used ones cost a fortune. I had no clue they held so much resale. Anyhow we founds a decent 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara in there color of choice black. Now we have two vehicles to throw money at :hopelessness:

Sorry can't seem to upload pics.

[Blackmare]

That's awesome Hem. I have a 2015 two door and love it.

[Darkhorse]

When done right, they're pretty awesome.

Yup, couldn't agree more. That looks awesome

[Stephen06GT]

I know it's not as practical as the 4-door, but I much prefer the look of this JK conversion.
