May Gladiator sales (2584 units)

[AndyG]

With dealers having inventory, the Gladiator had a very successful month.

What remains to be seen is will this be a consistent number.. if it is, the truck will be a contender in its’ category.

If the unique concept of the vehicle causes it to reach a limited market, a taper in sales would be likely .

Not too shabby for what should be considered its first normal month, since dealers were handicapped in February with late arriving inventory.

On the Gladiator forums, there's tons of people paying 61k for fully loaded Rubcicon models. I think it's a smashing success for Jeep.

Sure, it's the ugliest looking turd I've seen in a long time (and by far the worst looking mid-size truck), but apparently I'm in the minority with that opinion!

That’s a lot! At first, I was skeptical about the gladiator. It’s starting to grow on me a little bit though. I mean, I won’t buy one but I’m happy it’s not a failure. (Yet)

Tacoma sales are 20-25,000 per month .

The Gladiator forum says it was not meant to go head to head with the Tacoma.

The FCA claims seemed to indicate it was.

My prediction was , like Jeep trucks before , it would have a smaller fan base .


Still way , way to early to tell.
