An insider told me that at EJS- my first reaction was disbelief but recently Trump gutted the CAFE Standards so looks like it will happen

I do believe there is a genuine clean air threshold that exists. Anytime you view a major city from a distance, there is smog. Could be from cities, factories, etc. The catalytic converter really cleaned up a lot. But beyond that, it's nothing but regulations and money in government pockets. I truly believe if all the other government bullshit went away, you could still have happy drivers and clean air. 90% or more of drivers could drive the cleanest vehicles around and live their lives. And the other 10% could do whatever the fuck they want and it wouldn't harm a thing. Most of the population just drives to work in regular vehicles and it's safe and clean. The small minority of rednecks that want to "hold my beer and watch this" are just a drop in the bucket. It won't harm a thing.

For a mere $110k probably

Probably true, but at least they are trying, and maybe (but doubtful) they can lower the price as it won’t have to account for the fines. Be curious to see, the gladiator market is already tough for Jeep

I’m sure this will give it that much needed boost

Agreed, and I also think there is a good market out there for a gladiator with a 5.7 at a reasonable price

Agreed.
I think Jeep needs to tank the resale value even more and lower new vehicle MSRP. Highly doubt they can sell very many of the gladiators at 90+ these days. Couple years ago, no problem. But the overland and 4x4 market has fallen way off. People have moved on.
For a hundred grand. It’s stupid to buy a Jeep.

Any stupid regulation we do amounts to nothing if you factor in China and India pollution. All we do is cripple our economy so that Gretta Thunberg is appeased.

That angry retarded bitch is programmed to spout her nonsense and Mockingbird media eat the shit up. When a volcano erupts it emits tons more shit into the erfs atmosphere than all the cars.

Actually this tidbit snuck out about a week ago. No info on pricing just yet. Bout time for this to happen.
LOL - but but but, they said so on the internet just like there was going to be a final edition 392 Wrangler and then a final final edition and then a final final final edition so it must be true!
What do you mean? Gladiator sales have been dropping steadily since it's release in 2021 and to the point where only 42k of them were sold last year. This year is looking even worse and this in spite of the price cuts they've been offering. Clearly, there has to be throngs of people willing to spend upwards of $100k or more on a Jeep pickup truck and just because it has a V8
