I saw a used Jeep. I think it was a 2014 or something and the dealership wanted $41,000.

Just the Rubicons which have shite no one will ever use and have shite that a Jeep really doesn't need. You are better off buying the base model $40K Gladiator and adding what you want to it and saving $23K IMO

They also hold value as well as just about anything



The Gladiators are predicted to hold 91% of their value for the first 2 years. That's insane.

I have the fully loaded Rubicon Gladiator in black. It’s quite enjoyable to drive.

when being a weekend warrior biker came in vogue you had to get on a waiting list to get a Harley, people would buy them as an investment, put them up for bid for those badass CPAs and docs, and lawyers that didn't want to wait

I remember when you could get a Jeep in good running condition for $50 at Government auction.

I can’t say on that. But I do remember back in the 80s you could buy a fully functional and running Jeep for $50 at government auction.

Who in their right mind would spend over 60k for any kind of Jeep? And 85k for a Grand Cherokee? So many better options out there at that price point.
My wife has a Grand Cherokee and it's a fine vehicle, but yea, i can't fathom making that kind of decision with all of the other vehicles you could get in that price range.

yeah, was kind of a joke, but I'm pretty sure that at least up until the early 70s you could buy crated up old warbirds for a song, made for the war but had never turned a prop, and that old jeep in your pic was supposedly a badass little mofo, friend of my dad who was a Korea vet told me that thing could just about climb a tree

That is not the actual Gladiator. They don't even make a 2 door version of it. OP found the ugliest one he could to make this thread to create bias.

This is what they look like

Name anything that will perform like the Track Hawk for that price.


Only thing I can think of is a Porsche Cayenne or Maserati Levante

TrackHawk is essentially a hellcat in SUV form... 700HP

they look a lot better in person as well. A Black Gladiator Rubi with aftermarket front/rear bumpers looks pretty badass
