    3.73 gears are a little out of place being the same ratio on the sport. But I agree, nice truck and well done.
    Price and market climate don't seem to be in the Gladiator's favor for that type of pricing but your review is awesome.

    I got to test drive one when i was thinking of swapping out my renegade during the winter sales of 2023. 40k-45k for a willys (with custom options), i think, is a great deal. It really feels like you're driving a tractor on the highway, and i loved it. Anything more than 50 is a STRETCH, but there are good deals out there.

It was a lease turn in. 6k per year lease from the previous owner. Good deals are out there. Just have to look. See if any dealers have a new 2023 sitting around. They might deal better on last year's model. Do a nationwide search.
