2020 Jeep Gladiator first Impressions

2:08 "Towing and hauling is sorta a bonus." I think that is largely true with the new Jeep truck. As long as it can haul a bed full of off road gear or some dirt bikes, I think most people in this market will be happy.

So horse trailer is probably not a good option to tow?

Is the room inside the vehicle the same as the standard jeep ? Im 6'4 and sat in the rubicon and it was pretty tight with my knees and head space

Nice videos of the drive but your commentary lost me at "Coils springs all round" being different from the Wrangler. Coils on the rear is different from most trucks, NOT the Wrangler.

The loaded Gladiator MSRP is $62, 000. Obviously these trucks will be listed over the MSRP. It will be priced at the dealers more around $65, 000. First thing people will do is put a lift on it due to it's high probability to high center. Then they add bigger wheels and tires. Now your at $70, 000!
OR, you can buy a Tacoma Pro for $45, 000. That leaves me with $25, 000 in my pocket!! Imagine a Tacoma Pro with another $25, 000 put into it! LOL The Gladiator is INSANELY The vast majority seen on the road will be the absolutely cheapest version possible!! Remembering this price is coming from a company with quality issues. They just recently recalled over 5 MILLION vehicles. And OH by the way! It looks like FCA is about to be purchased by Renault!! This is another company that is known for poor quality just like Fiat!! This is the kind of purchase a teenager would make. It's not reasonable at all!!! Look around at other dealerships and see what $70, 000 will buy!!! A BMW, maybe one of their SUV's? How about a really nice Mercedes? You could buy a full size F-150 with damn near every extra available in a full size truck with a V-8! Have you seen the Chevy Silverado Double Cab, V-8 loaded for that kind of money? Leather interior, heated seats and damn near every extra you can think of? They don't even make 4Runners that expensive! They don't make Tacoma's that expensive!! They don't make a Ford Ranger that expensive!! You could buy a new Chevy Suburban for that price! You can buy a new Chevy Tahoe cheaper!!!
