Anyway, I'm just dreaming here. Unless I win the lottery, I won't be buying a new Gladiator. Right now, even looking at a 10 year old Wrangler is depressing. I bought my current Jeep Cherokee when it was 10 years old and I paid ~$4K for a really low mileage, rust free (from BC) gem. Currently, a comparable 10 year old Wrangler Unlimited is ~$15k and up.

A friend of mine went through that issue with his Tacoma, settled his claim with Toyota and now is driving a full size Tundra, nice truck , but I still prefer my Chevy.

I was in a Dodge dealership recently having my Ram serviced. Looked at a Loaded Wrangler in the showroom that was listed over $51k !!!!! I expect this Gladiator to hit $60k. This for what will not be a very useful pickup truck. It’s a Jeep thing, they’ll sell everyone they make.

Yes, $51 K for a Wrangler is excessive, but the Rubicon trim is a serious off-road machine (for a stock vehicle). $60K for a Rubicon Gladiator sounds like what people should expect. That's a lot of money. It won't be a work truck, so whether people consider it useful or not will depend on what they intend to use it for. A 2wd dually crew cab long box pick-up is super useful for trade work, but utterly useless once you leave the pavement. I know that I would find the Gladiator perfect for what I would use it for.
