No matter what you buy the gladiators aren’t selling and you could get them for up to $15,000 off I actually recently purchased one built it and I really like it it’s simple it works great and it was totally affordable sticker price on my Rubicon for a 2023 was about 64,000 and I paid less than 53,000 so I think that’s a pretty affordable deal and I would assume the vehicles you’re showing are probably the same huge amount of sticker. I just wish they could go back to making these vehicles more affordable for all of us it’s a bit out of Control
Some cheap vs expensive cars I'd love to see: Tacoma, F150, Colorado, Ranger, Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, Bronco
It seems like it's usually trucks that span such a wide price range, so I'm curious what you get with that 30k+ swing that those trucks tend to have and what the interiors look like.
We just bought a 2024 Sport S. We found with a $52,700 msrp, with a few nice options, auto, freedom hardtop, pref options group, power windows and locks, heated seats an wheel, 17” alloy wheels with great riding highway tires in 245/75-17 at 31”. Along with 12.3” screen and 8 speakers plus Apple Car Play, with UConnect SOS/911 Telematics System. All in all a very nice Jeep. That was discounted $15,700!
I was really hoping for a base Sport vs the Rubicon. As soon as I saw the painted flares and tires on the Willys I knew these would be a lot alike. The Willys is a Rubicon lite. Most people can only afford the base and Sport S. Other than that, great video.
The Willy's trim is the best bang for the buck honestly
That's what I'm thinking too.
On my Gladiator Rubicon I only got the heated seats (not leather) and wheel (cause of where I live and my back hurts sometimes and heated seats feel good), the upgraded stereo (cause I’m from Jersey and, well, you know), the upgraded screen with Nav (because it is a hard drive based system which is nice when you have no cell service in the middle of nowhere), the keyless entry with remote start (bc it is a really convenient convenience), the hard top with freedom panels (because I didn’t want a soft top) and the spray in bedliner. Didnt want any more of the luxury stuff (I actually prefer the black top and fenders) and the rest (like bumpers and wheels and tires) I was gonna take off and mod anyway. Saved a bunch of money and didnt get a bunch of crap I didnt want. 80K plus miles and very happy. Every time I drive it I love it and it makes adventures a LOT easier.
I bought a leftover 23 Willys this spring. Extremely pleased with it especially with the massive discounts on it. I never would have paid MSRP for one with the depreciation on these.
Expensive vs More Expensive
I test drove a Sport S a couple of years ago. I really liked it...except for the wobbly steering feel. Are they all like that..?
Fenders on the Rubi are raised for a bit more clearance.
I’ll take either with a V8 Hemi. 💯💯💯💯💯
No V8 for the Gladiator unlike the Wrangler
So basically the difference in my willys sport and a willys is now 17k, so power windows, locks and a plug in the back is 17k, yea ok jeep.
The important features for Jeep Gladiator should be as follows all trim levels should have the same heavy duty chassis as “MOJAVE”
All trim levels no such thing as open differentials,
You get a lot of stuff you will never use off roading to Costco. Buy the sport s with insulation.
@@PoserPunx1 I feel like you been watching me lol. I literally take an old rutted out shortcut to Costco that a CRV could handle with ease… however I’m in a 4Runner TRD off road with rear locker… never needed the locker really
@@adambaseball3000 new 4Runner looks awesome
The cheapest I could configure a new (wrangler) Sport was $39k with the hard top, 6Manual, and tubular side steps, while the Rubicon V8 will msrp for over $100k. I owned at 2016 Wrangler with about the same configuration, and although I liked it, the overall maintenance cost over some pretty easy 50k miles, was higher than any of my other vehicles by a wide margin. I considered moving to the cheapest Gladiator as I do really like having no doors or roof in the summer, as was shown in this video, but definitely do not see the value of the step up for us.
I thought the Sarge Green was discontinued?
Please do Ram 2500/3500 Tradesman vs Longhorn for Cheap v Expensive video
Automatic with the 3.6 adds $4500 to the price
Both jeeps are cool looking
You forgot to add that the Rubicon has front and rear Dana 44 axles with 4:10 gears, where the Willy's has just the rear Dana.
All Gladiators come with Dana 44s and 3.73s standard. I'm guessing you mean the Willys comes with just the rear locker rather than the front and rear like the Rubicon.
Resale value better with Rubi but needs tons of care
Prices are too high. Jeep is crazy. Should each be $10,000 less at least, imho. Maybe they are with discounts these days?
They will be $15 to $20k off in the fall.
@@371kenny That would make a lot of sense if they want to sell them at scale. The value at current prices just isn't there.
I didn't know the door trim is different on the more expensive model. guess you are really paying for something.
For that kind of a jeep I personally like the Willys better I didn’t catch what they’re able to tow and to really be old-school. It would’ve been nice if the willies didn’t have that big screen I guess you could get it in a standard too.
It would be cool if the offered a 392 Gladiator
Ooou I’m excited for this one I want a jeep but they so expensive
you forgot NAV in the rubi and 4.10 gears on 33's
100% worthy. I hate the power seat’s and no bed plug. Love the MANual
Ok.... I know I am not an expert CZcams car person.... But please, the 70 or 75 on the sidewall measurement means. in this case. 255/75 the side wall is 75% of the 255mm width or 191.25mm. thats the whole side wall, so divide by 2 to get the measurement we are used to. So the sidewall of the willy's is 95.62mm. now the Rubi 285/70 70%of 285 is 199.5 divide by 2 = the sidewall of the Rubicon is 99.75mm.
So even though the Willy's has a "75" sidewall, its still smaller. Not by much. Basically the Willy's is a 32" and the Rubi a 33"
By $10000 more you really mean $14500 more because an automatic is $4500 add on
Buy the top end; yes more expensive but you’ll be happy.
