I'm a Jeep guy but why did CJ7 pop in to my head?
Avalanch jumps out at me. Its a Pick up....no its an SUV......no its a pick up.
This is the same thing only different.
No thank you! I was the victim of a Jeep Comanche pickup years ago. Never again...
The Gladiator is for a unique crowd. Someone who doesn’t need a truck to haul large items, but wants a Jeep as well. This Jeep truck isn’t going to perform as well off road as a full blown Jeep Wrangler. And it’s not going to haul anything like a truck can.
Actually, it’s for someone who is willing to spend stupid money for something that’s bad ass. Something you can mod and accessorize. And you can only mod and accessorize so much on a truck.
This truck will sell. And they will sell a lot.
I’m hoping the new Ford Bronco will actually come out soon. Jeep needs some good competition. Their prices are outrageous.

Yeah, I'm the market: suburbia-dwelling, former off-road loving, needs to carry big stuff some weekends, mostly commuting, disposable income having guy (once the last kid is out of the house).
I'd definitely look at one.
Last time I was in that market (to offset the lack of cool in the garage when we started getting mini-vans), I looked at the Explorer Sport-trak (?) or whatever that thing was with the partial pickup bed in the back. Kinda like the Hummer version with the same thing.
Too expensive at the time, but would've liked one.
The Explorer Sport-Trac was never cool
Maybe not, but at least it wasnt a Fiat like this abomination is
