Tank Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I won't lie, the Gladiator with a bed cap looks like a cool super-Jeep and just purely from an aesthetic POV I kinda like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Whomever at Jeep thought of the Gladiator really came up with a winner. It is really for the person who wants the off-road capability of a jeep but still has the practicality of a bed when a truck is called for. As a truck owner I can really appreciate that.

Yeah, but the problem is that is a pretty niche audience. I wouldn't be surprised if the Gladiator is cancelled in the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedigoat Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Just as I thought. They told me my monthly payment would be over 700 a month. Lol....what a crazy world. That's almost my mortgage payment. Plus they told me I was upside down on my trade in, which is ridiculous. I was never a fan of that particular dealership I visited anyway. Keep dreaming, Goat.....keep dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 This is what I afraid of too. I’m already at 480 a month, and that’s plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw a 2021 Gladiator in army khaki/green in a kind of matte powder coat finish and it looks post-apocalypse ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Spam Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I walked out of a dealership today after test driving a Maverick again because HOLY crap a paid of car right now hits the sweet spot. Who are these people who buy cars that have a payment like mortgage? ALSO Who are these people who want to make payments on a car for 7+ years. They offered that to get my payments under 350 a month and I was like nahhhhhh. I'm good. It would have sucked if the Prius hadn't turned on in the parking lot and I drove off into the sunset not making payments of 350 for 8 years on a Maverick that was USED! Pish...I'm like a little jewish lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 What were they charging? Around $30k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 It was a fully loaded Lariat version with leather seats. Final paperwork had me borrowing 79k for a Maverick with about 15k in trade in and cash already applied. I like a sweet ride but I am cheap as hell too.

Metropolis Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I think the only F-150 under 50K is the base model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Used 2021 to boot. It was blinged out. I was more interested in it because it had the tow package already installed. But it had a lot of stuff like an entertainment thing in the back and some other neat things like those moving side running boards. The base starts at 26K. I think it also hurt I was at a Ford Dealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 We got a 2021 F-150 Platinum for less than that... a year ago. That Maverick was a bad deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new truck is fully loaded at the top trim line and was 70k MSRP--60K with comps and 50K after trade in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
