Anthony Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 This is going to sell like nuts. Prices are not a lot more than the Ranger and I'd need a SawZall to be able to take the top off my Ranger. Super Win for Jeep. (I'd still rather have my Ranger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 The low end seems a bit expensive for what you get. Rubicon starting at 45k doesn’t seem bad though. I like how it looks, but a convertible roof and fold down windshield aren’t worth the premium to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snooter Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Heep understands manual transmission and no carpet still has a place...friends dont let friends by heeps....but FCA will sell every dam gladiator they can produce....the demand for 04 -06 2 door unlimited long bed LJ'S is huge and prices for the earlier scramblers have been insane for last 15 years....if heep ever produces another 2 door unlimited it will roll out if showrooms in record pace....

Agreed - When I bought my Edge the runners up were Colorado and Wrangler - This scratches two itches, and adds the convertible factor. Its going to get a hard look when I replace my Edge. I’m leery of FCA, but my Edge had/has a lot of nagging issues that they haven’t been able to fix, and it rattles worse than our 2010 Flex with 125,000 miles (But it’s [the Flex] seemingly built like a tank).

However, an automatic trans on the Jeep is a 2k option so that bumps it back up to to about a 5k difference if you wanted an auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) this will go either very good or very bad for Jeep, there will be no in between with this fella. I wonder though, whether Wrangler sales becomes collateral damage, there’s 90,000 of them sitting in inventory. dont get me wrong here, Jeep is pushing all the right buttons with Gladiator for it to be a runaway success but something tells me it wil come at a cost elsewhere but equally, that cost (lost sales?) may end up being something that other manufacturers should be worrying about, not Jeep Edited April 1, 2019 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomcat68 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I believe in this segment (Mid sized pickups) The Gladiator will be a runaway hit. I don't think it will pinch many sales away from Wrangler. I think it will steal sales away from other brands. I also think the brands that will have the most to lose will be Nissan and Toyota, whose dated products stand in stark contrast to this, as well as Jeep's ability to appeal to customers who wouldn't otherwise consider an American brand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 This will be interesting to see how the Gladiator does. I like Jeeps and the Gladiator is pretty cool, but Jeeps are not smooth riding vehicles. The ride in my friends Jeep is quite awful, with the caveat that it is lifted with 35’s. My sister’s unlifted Unlimited is only marginally better. I’m guessing it will depend on people’s willingness to accept the compromised ride, unless they have somehow managed to make big improvements in the ride quality.

I have only heard that the JL rides much better than the JKs. Supposedly the Gladiator rides better than the standard JL Wranglers due to the increased wheelbase.

630land Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I think there will be dealer "adjusted market prices" aka mark ups, and waiting lists, etc. But, I also agree will take sales from Wrangler 4 doors, and maybe Cherokee/Compass. Can also see some owners overloading the rear bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRunrGuy Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) I watched the majority of Doug's video review, I've yet to determine if a 48" wide sheet of plywood or drywall can be carried. I see the 2x4 recesses ahead of the wheel wells, presumably for a raised cross-brace, but no mention if the tailgate can be set to support a sheet, IF the opening in the bed is wide enough.

IIRC Wranglers sell well, but they often lose repeat customers because of the harshness of them, which turns off a pretty good percentage of buyers. I think their popularity might be similar to what the Mustang is-makes a great second/third car, but not a daily driver. This is the big hole that Ford needs to aim the Bronco at.

02MustangGT Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I’m speculating that the lease prices will lead to impulse purchases. If the Ranger had this kind of predicted residual/lease price, I would order one tomorrow. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/04/26/dirt-cheap-jeep-gladiator-lease-offer-is-143-month/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 That is absolutely ridiculous. This is nothing more than a huge cash rebate/lease subsidy based on an unrealistic residual value. Residual is wholesale so by the time you mark it up you’re looking at the same price new or used and that ain’t happening. I could believe 65%-70% of actual selling price. One thing’s for sure - at those prices they’ll be flying off the lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
