Honestly, the V6+8-speed is pretty excellent.

I knew it would be lol worthy. The great part will be the "early buyers" that get fleeced and cry about it. Then blame Jeep for the :dillerman: game

It's a mass production vehicle. If you NEED to be the FIRST with one, you deserve it.

Yea, we all waste money in different ways. Being a “first”
Is worth it to them.

One of my BIL’s dad ordered a Gladiator. BIL didn’t know if he got the launch edition or whatever that was or just a regular Rubicon. Will be cool to check out eventually.

It's a just a JL with a bed.... haha but yea It would be nice to see something different on the road. Initially i thought it was sort of fugly, but it really grew on me, and now I think it is the best looking mid sizer. But apparently I am more of a FCA fanboi than someone working @ FCA :koolaid:

:dat: I didn’t care for how they look at first, but it’s definitely growing on me. I’ll still wish they had a 2-door option, but I still think these 4-doors are :neat:

I love the way the Gladiator looks, personally. The best of them all? Quite possibly...but I still really like the way the ZR2 looks.

I just don't know what I'm going to do myself.

People keep saying they wish there was a 2-door, but nobody would actually buy one.

I'd say the take rate would be about 15-20% would that make sense from capex ? ~100k units for the Gladiator and ~20k units for the 2 door... ?

There is going to be a bit of engineering as well... and of course the marketing/blah blah. It won't be cheap so I am not sure if the 20-30k units annually would sustain that.

True. I say I wish there was a 2-door, but in reality, I’ll likely never buy a truck, let alone a Gladiator. I just think it would look better.

Right. Tons say they want it, but once they realize how impractical it actually is, nobody would buy one.
