A JT spotted without the camo! Assumed to be running a 2" Mopar lift with beadlocks and 37s. Looks like a Sport with the max-tow package (plain bumper with the 2-piece flares). I bet this will be a somewhat common setup, 2" lift and 37s!

Badass indeed

I'd love to see a side view of that....hoping that the proportions look better w/ 37's.

The Build & Price tool has the Gladiator! Sadly, no prices... but the option lists and specs are there. https://www.jeep.com/lineup.bmo.html?app=bmo
Of note for me, the turning radius is 44.5' compared with 34.5' for a 2-door JL and 40.8' for a 4-door JLU. Not as bad as I was expecting, although I'll miss the super tight turning capability.
I'm not sure if the specs in the "standard features" section are accurate, it says the gas tank is 19 gallons but the spec sheet I saw before said 22 gallons.
Edit: it says 22 gallons later down the specs page. I guess they need to finish cleaning up a few spots. -
Hit the gas at the right time, turning radius shortens quite a bit!

These photos have a closeup of the tires... 35s.

Haven't posted anything in a while, so how about some cool news... A JT will be competing in the King of the Hammers! Savvy Off Road is building one for he Everyman class. Keep an eye on their facebook page for details: https://www.facebook.com/SavvyOffRoad/ Haven't seen how they managed to get one so early.
A dude over on the Jeep Gladiator Forum made up a spreadsheet showing the currently available options for the JT and the model/package chart. Here it is: https://docs.google.com/spread…lgXSbh9Q/edit?usp=sharing He'll update it later when pricing has been released.
And some potentially bad news, there was an article in a Los Angeles paper that quoted Jeep's brand director Scott Tallon who said that the JT would be in dealership by end of June. Hopefully it's way before then.
The JT is on the list of vehicles for the Philly auto show (starts Feb 2nd)... I might have to take a drive up to check it out in person. O:)

You can catch the train to Philly too

I cant have a jeep without a manual, and i cant have a new truck
unless it can tow. Since this cant properly tow with the Manual
(and wont come with a manual diesel) i gotta file it away under
the "Power Wagon 6.4L/Challenger GT/Other cars that Dodge
came so close to getting right but COMPLETELY failed at
delivery" folder...Im trying really... really hard to like this truck, but the more I hear
about all the things it wont have or cant do, the more i want to
keep my Mjs... -
its a 1/4 ton truck that can tow up to 7k with the v6 gasser and 6spd. How much more can u ask of it. Its a fair amount mord then a mj, jk or jl and u get all the coolness of a soft top jeep.

When you say it is a fair amount more, do you mean they announced pricing? I was figuring it would be at or around the price difference between a 2dr and 4 dr above a 4dr for the Jt. Which wouldn’t be competitive with the Colorado or others.
Otherwise if I was going to give up the buggy I would probably want this jt as an overlanding rig.
-
no, i mean its towing capacity is a fair amount more the previous models.
Yes it will probaby be pricey but thats another arguement.

Here's a photo showing the tape measure, but also shows a little of the "trail rail" tie down system. This will likely be available aftermarket, but if you order from the factory it'll include the power outlet.

I'll definitely be checking this out at the Philly autoshow but am leaning away from getting one as a replacement for my aging truck and commuter. While I like the idea of getting back into a DD Jeep the hit on towing for both Rubi and the diesel will likely be right at $7k and the pricing for that config is likely going to put it into 3/4ton diesel territory. I'm starting to lean more towards a CCSB Ram 2500 when the new ones are released.

Jeep. ‘Light utility vehicle’. I’m just flabbergasted (that means lying on the floor leaking bodily fluids) that the ‘jeep’ is being perverted with 4-doors, and “towing capacity”. Sorry.
-
Guess I ruined this thread: please carry on!
-
didnt ruin anything. Its not worth argueing about. It will suit my needs so i may buy one.
Btw, your jk is anything but light. Probably weighs twice the original jeep.:)

just thinks a loaded Rubicon is what now around $60k, no discounts because its a jeep, a Ram cummins mega cab that will MSRP for $72k you can get for $62k because of truck rebates and dealer intensives. Who in their right mind would pay more for a Gasoline wrangler truck that has half the space and capability.

I can't believe the price of new Jeeps, but they don't appear to be having any difficulty selling them. I feel like I see more Jeeps than ever on the road.
