Its a bit of a pity the goodies in the US like the 33"tyres as standard and the v6 diesel, or a manual transmission option aren't likely to be available here ever. SWMBO is in the throes of buying a JL Rubicon at the moment.

It was bad enough being seen in public with you and your family before with the old one - but now I think I will just hide [happycry].

Did you have to give the old one way? [bigrolf] - or has it burst into flames.

Women love the Jeep...daughter wanted one but son's mate had one and talked her out if it. Pity cause it was good off road cept for the hopeless throttle control and thirsty engine/poor range...oh and leaky roof and milk shake ride. He lost 20k on selling it too..after 18 months and many minor repairs and lots of modifications to suspension etc.

He's bought a landrover now🙄

Gladiator is v expensive..can't tow a lot and is in Cruiser territory...will be interesting to see how it goes. Could be another Hummer?

I concur. When I arrived back in town with my shiny new JK Wrangler a young woman came over and commented that it was the sexiest car she had ever seen. When I replied that I wanted a car to match my personality she didn't know whether to laugh or cry..........sheesh!!!!!!!

Tote.....what a fantastic looking car. That colour is something else. [thumbsupbig] Your wife has very good taste. I'm torn between yours and the yellow and black one but still got plenty of time to think about it.

We took it for a run up to Bowral to visit my mum today and while I have no doubt about its capability off road it is significantly better than the JK on the Highway. Nic's JK is a 2011 which was the last one with the 3.8 litre motor and was always a bit gutless. This one cruises along much more quietly and the 8 speed auto makes progress pretty easy. It's a generation ahead of the JK in the quietness and comfort on the highway.
