If they upgrade the payload to European specs (1t) then it would be quite tempting.
Even better a PHEV with full time 4x4. |

Scratch that Rubicon order, I want a Mojave.
I don't NEED one, nor ever will, but I do WANT one! The high speed "Desert Rated" Jeep. If you like chassis, axles, shocks, engines and transfer cases, skip to 6.4,

Unfortunately Jeep is going up with their prices and we see more Jeeps on the street than in the woods. Furthermore if Gladiator comes to Europe it will be similarly priced as a Porsche, and will be sitting next to one in a fancy garage.
At least it will have an adequate non Fiat engine. Defender 110 SW MY2011 2.4tdci decat, no EGR Jeep Wrangler YJ 1990 4.0. Front 78' Dana 60, Rear CUCV 14 bolt |

Saw a few Jeep Gladiators when we were in Florida over Christmas.
They look good in the flesh, same width as the Wrangler but with the longer bed at the back. And of course they come with a soft top option with canvas replacement roof too! Unfortunately did not get any pics.... Cheers Don. |

They look great! Looks like at least some manufacturers listen to their customers! You could imagine them doing real work too. 2011 110 USW

Seems that in the States the (non-PHEV) Gladiator is not selling as well as expected - the $33.5K starting price is being blamed:
https://jalopnik.com/the-jeep-gladiator-is-struggling-1841569645 I'm not sure how it works regarding local taxes on top of that $33.5K over there, but looking at the Jeep UK site I'm guessing the basic non-PHEV would start a couple grand more than the LWB Wranger, so around £44K here. Which still seems cheap compared to a new 110! |

That advert is great. By comparison, LR seem to have sucked all of the fun out of their vehicles

Great advertisement! I was a bit worried when the doors were nicked (just like a Defender) but they were clearly returned later.

^^ totally agree, a great advert, for a fun vehicle, with a sense of humour.
No pretentious, premium verticality there. |
