i'm about to order one, any current owner feedback?
i'm familiar with the pros/cons of the wrangler (my wife drives a 2012 4-door); i'd be trading in my 2018 sierra which i like but don't need anymore and the trade value is sky-high right now so i'm comfortable with the financial transaction.

the color options though are kinda uninteresting, i suppose wither white or one of the greys is what i'll decide on.

right now i'm set on a rubicon, 6-speed, gas, with a few bells & whistles but not many.

any advice on options, colors, etc appreciated

I work with a guy that likes his. We usually ride around in his work truck when Im in that area so no direct opinions.

My trainer drives one. I haven't ridden in it but he loves it. It's the desert edition or something like that.

I've read where they're noisy, even with the hard top.

I can’t do Jeep. Would rather a new Bronco.

It's the perfect size truck for me but it's ugly IMO.

I did a test drive and just didn't like it.

Either buy a jeep or buy a truck. This is the worst of both. It's not cool like a jeep, but drives like one.

It’s predicted to happen soon.







Can’t be that hard to make…from where they are.

If I got a Gladiator it would be a classic one



I also want an old w200 dodge power wagon for a “shite hits the fan” vehicle

My buddy had one, It was a lot more noisy than the two wrangler soft tops I have owned. The bed so is so small it’s not good for much. if you need a truck get a real truck, if you need a small truck get s Tacoma. The Gladiator is basically a “poser”

I bought a 2021 Gladiator JT Rubicon. I like it. Put a 2 1/2" lift & 37s on it day 1. Can haul anything my 2019 GMC could. Also have a trailer if needed. Gas mileage does suck but don't care. Ride is not like a GMC, but not bad. Is a little noisy. Best radio system there is. Removable top and doors is cool also. Buy it for fun not to travel to wallyworld with da family on vacation. Look at the FB page FOR GLADIATORS ONLY..Lots of options and opinions. BTW, I got the "Sting-gray" color.

I know a guy with one. This is my sentiment.
