Default Who would trade their JK for a Gladiator?

I love my new X 4 dr., but don't know WHAT I'll do if they bring out the Gladiator! I figure the lifetime warranty won't last much more than a year or so....I'd hate to give that up, but the Gladiator is my dream come true!!

If you can only have ONE Jeep, which would you want?

I love the IDEA of a Gladiator, but have a feeling that the execution wouldn't match up to my expectations... whereas my JK is a dream come true.

I'd keep my JK, definitely, and someday when it's time to consider buying another vehicle, might consider the Gladiator if the majority of owners loved them (like we JK owners do our Jeeps).

Summary: Wouldn't trade my JK for any other vehicle - ask again in 10 years...

wow, that would be tough.... i would love to have a gladiator, but it wouldn't feel right to not have a wrangler. I would prolly have both as my JK is paid off... i would find a way to get the gladiator too. i would just hope to hell that the 3.8 isn't the only option, and that a stick shift would be available, if not, i would have to do the hemi swap.

If they build it and the top comes off I will be first in line to buy one. And not trade in the JK.

Not me. I'm not going to trade my JK for a Gladiator. I really love my JK. But, if my wife allows me (which is very unlikely since she wouldn't drive a pick-up), I want to get rid of Land Rover Disco to get the Gladiator.

Me too. Love the look of the Gladiator, but I have seen on another website that if they do it, it would be based off of the Dodge Dakota chassis Didn't we get all of the Daimler execs out of Auburn Hills?
