If ever there was a perfect vehicle in the perfect color at the perfect time, the Jeep Gladiator was it. The Comanche was out of production, Jeep was juuuuuust introducing the 2004 1/2 Wrangler Unlimited, and the Jeep public was primed and ready for a pickup truck.
Enter Dodge and Ram trucks, who said only THEY could make trucks under the Chrysler umbrella. Let me tell you right here and now so that we’re all on the same page: Ram makes great trucks. Really like the Laramie Long Horn. But … well, because they killed this truck, I’m not a big fan of the division. I’ll walk to another dealership to buy a Ford King Ranch because this rig didn’t go into production. Thanks, Ram.
