As much as I like the modern bits and bobs in the Gladiator, I just can't begin to justify one. I could buy a full size, V8 powered Chevy for less. I get it, I can't have the same fun as the Jeep, but those of us that have 0 use for a 4 door truck, won't even look at a current Gladiator. I think Jeep missed the mark in not having a 2 door option at least. I mean they have it for the Wrangler, why not the Gladiator. If Jeep came out with a lower cost, 2 door Gladiator, I would be tempted to trade my 2003 Mk IV, bone stock Golf GL for one. I have seen a few around Las Vegas that are lifted and built nicely, and they are a good looking vehicle, for sure. Just my humble opinion tho. Just like riding a motorcycle, I don't care what name is on the tank, riding is riding. Jeepin is Jeepin!
