I’ll spend 225k at a Quebec strip joint before I spend it on a wrangler pickup truck. That said, I’m sure there will be buyers.

I strongly dislike Jeep. I'd spend that money to mod my Volvo 240 and turn it into a 1000hp drifting machine.

I wonder if you have to knock the floor plugs out of this one so the rain can drain, like my old Jeep?

"A man has to know his limitations." I would not even make it out of the driveway without wrecking it. So, I'll stay with my F150.

I own a Wrangler Unlimited so I may be a bit bias. I liked the idea of the Gladiator but do not really like how it looks with the top and doors on. Take the top and doors off and I like it.

About the Hellcat motor transplant, I’m just glad they didn’t lower it and make it look like an import tuner drift car. Took the trophy truck route with the 6” lift and Dana 60 front and rear. Made the truck look way better than stock in my opinion.

I hear ya.

I think EVERY Jeep Wrangler needs to be lifted to look even half decent. That started with the CJ version of the Jeep.

Cool looking for sure. Better know what you are doing behind the wheel of 1000 HP. Accident waiting to happen.

I’m a fan of this vehicle.

But I’d not want one. Or buy one.

I don't want my jeep to have 1000hp. Wrong frame and suspension for that kind of power.

I totally agree I also own a JLU love riding the beach if I was a pickup guy I might have considered the gladiator. FCA did a great job on the wrangler redesign.
