Perfectly stated. I saw a really nice Gladiator Rubicon this weekend- with lift and what looked like 35's. Both me and my GF turned heads to look at it. My first thought was how many people that had Bronco orders that could no longer wait- due to lease ending, vehicle dying, etc. and migrated to a Jeep product. That cools Gladiator we saw had me thinking but we are going to wait it out. it will be awhile before there are Broncos on the lot and readily available for anyone to buy- probably at least 2 years is my prediction.
Good things come to those who wait, Jeeps come to those who don't!
Congrats!!! They are damn nice vehicles.
It's okay to be frustrated waiting for your Bronco, I sure was too. I just hope you got the option to remove your wedged panties.LOL, you're all on the wrong forum here I'm sure. Or just trolling?
But enjoy your fugly truck thing. Personally I'd rather drive my 19 year old Tacoma for ever than driving that dorky Gladiator, but hey, all you jeep shills go ahead and enjoy
Just not sure why you post about your impatience and bad decision here? LOL
There's a sister forum just for you out there, seems like it's run by the same company as this forum too, so you won't get lost.
Oh, and bye!
Not the op, but for myself, I have been spending time on the gladiator forum and here. It seemed like when the Bronco is brought up on the gladiator forum, the responses are more like, ‘yep, looks neat‘ and a more level discussion on the pros and cons. Here, when the gladiator gets brought up, there seems to be more knee-jerk hate. Doesn’t bother me, but it makes me wonder, and it’s definitely a bad look. The Jeep hate is weird. Criticisms are awesome, and bring value to the conversation, but the out right hatred seems a little nuts.
Not really, from the beginning with I was pretty indifferent to the two. I think the Bronco has more value/price on the lower end but once you get over $45k I think Jeep starts pulling ahead a bit (especially with being able to get one below MSRP). I was looking to stay on the lower end but decided to jump up on how much I'm willing to spend.
Bringing up ANYTHING else on here brings the hate. Anything else is considered "garbage", "ugly", "not even close to the same thing", "weak", "useless"... it's kind of crazy.
Unfortunately, to get a decent set up with Jeep you have to pay. The Mojave addresses some issues with lower trims and throws in some upgrades.
My Gladiator will be built in about 4 weeks, I didn't cancel my reservation yet and the deposit on the Jeep is refundable until I sign. I should know my build date by then so there's still a chance I'll be getting a Bronco, but I don't think it's likey.
Unfortunately, they nixed the projected build weeks they were supposed to give us so now we might not know a delivery estimate until it goes into production.
I think the hate for Gladiator is something that is fairly widespread, not just this forum. You either love it or hate it, so there is a big hate group. Conversely, most people in general like Wranglers. There is a big difference.
That’s similar to what I want to do. I figure the gladiator will get me back on the overgrown logging trails in my woods and I can use the truck bed and maybe winch to move stuff around and clean them out,, and then when the Broncos are available in 2022, maybe I’ll have the trails nice, and make a decision to switch to the smaller Bronco which will be easier to drive around out there. Sounds like a fun way to spend the next several months.
I got it in Sarge Green, It's an awesome color, and it was another way to justify the switch. lol
