Nice jeep Ryan. Gotta ask if it has the Hemi as I'm not up to date on Jeeps. I see the hood scoop.

No, they haven't produced the V8 version of the Gladiator yet.

I'm sure they will.

This is a 3.6 6.

Unfortunately, the scoop is only for looks, however in the V8 traditional jeeps they are functional.

The taller hood scooped jeeps you see are either Mojave ones like mine or V8 or diesel units on traditional jeeps.

 

Sorry more info than you wanted.

I’m ordering hard top in black, to match the black Mopar grille. Calgary has terrible climate, from -30 to + 30 degrees Celsius. Plus hail storms etc. gonna insulate the heck out of it. But the rear is going to be canvas for sure. 
no leather and no safety dooodaas, no front camera either. 

[Ryan]

Ahhh, had not considered the Canadian climate!

Mine doesn’t have leather or safety stuff either.

Very cool ride, gratulations Ryan. My JK Unlimited has two tops, but since we stripped the hardtop, we are perfectly happy with the soft top. It's way easier to open, without the necessity to store the hardtop parts in the car. The soft top even weathers storms without complains and too much noise. Mine has leather inside, which I really like. Was part of the package as it's a special edition, called JK Edition, which are the last 1250 JK's built.

Cheers Rob

No leather????  Leather seats, heated and cooled, and heated leather wrapped steering wheel.....  all in my Chevy, obviously ,I am way too delicate to be a Jeep guy....

 

Cool rides none the less, and congrats Ryan on a very sweet ride... love the color...

With fuel prices over here the UK of equiv $9.34 a gallon this wouldn’t be very practical, what’s the mpg guys…….

There's a convertible one in the underground parking lot at my in-laws' condo. It's in mint condition. It stands out so much since there's a bunch of exotic cars down there.

I had no idea that Gladiators are assembled by people randomly picked up at Walmart the day before. What happened to overalls , safety footwear and overall safety and appearance ? 

Very disconcerting 

 

 

[Ryan]

Wait to you get it Martin.

No one gives a shit.

[Ryan]

I will say it (21 Glad) is better built then my 2020 Rubicion Wrangler.

[Martinnfb]

It better be with such a price tag

They work for Chevrolet.............LOL

[Martinnfb]

It seems that Chevy guys are wearing protective clothing , reflexive vests, head covers etc... ,  Based on the Gladiator video, I am expecting to find some loose objects in my future ride. Like, necklace, shoe laces, pubic hair  , perhaps somebody's lunch too 

[Ryan]

The both of you now are on some sort of anti woke list.

How dare you not allow a factory worker to dress in comfort to do a job with half of a gluteus maximus.

 

[GazzaS]

Car...   yeah....

 

[Jeff]

Always loved the 55 Belair....

A few years ago, I had this one :

 

Then, I needed cash to buy a piece of land, on which to build my future house, so I sold it.

Fast forward by 4 years, and we sold, very well, the house that was built on the said piece of land…

So I bought a new key-holder ….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…. And, btw, just came back home from a 800 kms trip in Spain with the car that goes around the key-holder. Me a happy camper tonight
