I Traded My 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz for A NEW 2023 JEEP GLADIATOR FREEDOM!

In the middle of this crazy car market full of high prices, greedy dealers and bad buys, I managed to find a fantastic deal on an awesome 2023 Jeep Gladiator Freedom Package! I loved owning my 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz for the past year and it was reliable through 16,000 miles without any problems.

There’s a dude on FB that just traded his 2020 white Gladiator for a SEL Santa Cruz. Said he liked the Cruz better. Different strokes for different folks lol

I love that you wanna spend more time and are enjoying that nostalgia with your dad when hes still there, good for you.

What a price jump from the santa cruz lol

Nice Jeep! My mom has a 2020 Wrangler with 39k miles and has had TONS of electrical issues and rust bubbles on the bottom of each door and on every single hinge. The V6 engines are solid (my mom's got a turbo 2.0 and it's junk). However, my bet is just that it's a lemon. Looking forward to more videos on your Gladiator!

What, no video from the Capco auction this year?

They need to make a 2 door version

You got the Oscar Mike edition which is an awesome trim model.

Freedom? I thought they painted the indentation flat black on those. I WANTED the 8.4 screen over the 12.3. I have UConnect 5 on my Ram 2500 and frankly it sucks imho and I think the big screen doesn't fit looks wise. Selec Trac is a fantastic addition. MOST of them are sold straight including that most dealers don't order even the limited slip differential. If you live in a cold snowy area, the first time you have a few inches of unplowed snow on a highway, you will understand. I've had Rams without the limited slip or "auto 4WD" the Ram name for it and then I had a Ram with both and after all that comparison living up here in MT, I decided that both selec trac and limited slip were requirements for me... In the first few weeks, it has already shown its worth. Essentially, it makes the Gladiator like an All Wheel drive. Essentially, if the wheels slip front to back, the Selec Track automatically shifts to the axle with traction. If it slips from side to side, then the limited slip differential grabs on the side with traction. Very helpful on an incline with polished ice next to the mailboxes.

As long as you glad. But maybe lost some comfort and bed load limit..

Those vehicles have terrible interior leg space and forget about anyone in the back.
