Has this been discussed already? I did a search, but didn't see a thread. I'm at least intrigued. I've seen a couple on the road, they look pretty sharp. And of course, the no doors, no top possibility is interesting.

vehicular hermaphrodites

i'll probably get one in a few years. they are sweet.

From ground level they look awesome. From the angle in that picture, they look odd.

Wish I could

A full on open air truck?

So want. Much poor

Looks like gigantic UTV in that picture.

I saw one about a week ago. Not a good looking vehicle.

Want to like these, but just...don't.

They're beasty, in a good way.

Agree I want to see a Bronco.

Payload/towing numbers are pretty good on these. Can't help but think a standard cab might sell enough to be profitable for FCA.

finally saw one in person and was meh about it.

Would be an awesome toy here in co, but for the price now couldn't stomach it. I think i've been around too many full and midsize to where it just looks funny narrow/short bed. I get why its that obviously, but i wouldn't off road enough with it to justify the short comings of it being a daily personally.

For the right person it'd be dope, i just dont think thats me.

I still haven't seen one in person. I was seriously considering one, but my 2010 GMC was getting a little long in the tooth and I decided I couldn't wait so I bought a 2019 GMC back in April. From what I could tell, the front seat room wasn't any different from that of a JLU and that just wasn't going to work for me as a bigger person with a nasty commute.

Since then, I've changed jobs with a 20-mile commute (one way) instead of a 42-mile commute (one way), but I've been averaging 22 mpg with a crap ton of room to boot. I'm still interested in the Gladiator, but I still need a proper truck for recreational needs.

Yes, I know that the username doesn't check out.

Now that I've seen them in person, not really a fan. The fact they want as much as a King Ranch F250 for one. is a pretty big turnoff too...

In all fairness, it would probably look ok with 37s on there.

Still think it needs 4-6" chopped off the back end.

Needs a Hemi V8....then it would be a killer truck.

Dodge is typically the least stingy of the big three when it comes to putting V8s in cars. I simply cannot fathom why they refuse to put anything bigger than a gutless naturally aspirated V6 in such a large vehicle. I know they're going to introduce a diesel eventually, but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm sure that engine option will be handicapped with an automatic only transmission.

I prefer a V8 as much as the next guy, but that gutless NA V-6 is rated at 285 HP, which should be plenty.

Gladiator = PT Cruiser

Or slightly worse
