I like the looks of this one. They made some major improvements in this model like strengthening the body, larger roll bars, better suspension, larger shocks, the body is an inch wider too.
But then, ever since we had one on the farm and ranch I've liked Jeeps. We had an old Jeep pickup, must have been about a 1965 model.
Similar to this:
They were funny looking but man they were tough. I'd always carry a shovel in back to dig myself out if I got stuck and that happened quite a few times but the Jeepster would always get loose.
The only bad thing was that you had to stop, get out, and lock the hubs in place by hand on the wheels for it to be in 4 wheel drive.
But anyway I think this model is going to be popular for offroaders or just because of the look.
I also like that the bed is large enough to actually use for some things.
Oh, they also have a military model because they're trying to get a U.S. Army contract. They call this the Gladiator Extreme Military-Grade Truck, or XMT:
Jeep is actually in competition with Chevy for this contract. Here is Chevy's model called the GM Defense Infantry Squad Vehicle, or ISV
Pretty wild huh? May the best vehicle win. I wonder how many billions that contract is worth?
I'll take the Jeep's XMT. lol. But I could really use the Gladiator for work on our spread here. Maybe if I'm real nice to Mrs. J.
I think the price of the Jeep Gladiator Mojave will be about $44,000 for a base model.
Thanks for stopping by folks, God bless you all!

PS- Meanwhile in idiotville:
Check this out guys...we go from smart engineering to really dumb engineering. This fool took a bath in hot sauce, he claims it took 1250 bottles to fill the tub.
How much does hot sauce cost, about $2 a bottle? So he spent $2,500 on hot sauce? lol. Anyway it was pure torture and he got chemical burns all over his body and in his body!
He did it for his youtube channel so I reckon people will do anything to get attention. I must admit it IS entertaining in a moronic sort of way. Here's the cringe-worthy video:
