per the live reveal (via channels that livestreamed it)
7650 lbs towing
1600 lbs payload
Rubicon has “DANA 44 front and rear with 4.10 gears” no word on if they are different than the standard rubi axles
Fox shocks
Off road calibration unique to the gladiator that allows front sway bar unlock with rear axle locked at the same time (no word on if you need to be in 4 wheel drive)
removable bluetooth noise polluter (sigh)
it looks CRAZY long
Pretty shallow bed, maybe 24-30 inches deep
Pretty much nothing you didn’t already get from David’s FP piece.
UPDATE: I’m pretty sure there is no disconnecting rear sway bar on these. all the material simply references a front. I wonder if they couldn’t do it and keep their payload rating or something. CONFIRMED. Only a front disconnect, not front and rear.
it comes with 4 top options
Body colored 3 piece hardtop
Black 3 piece hardtop
Sunrider softop
“premium” sunrider softtop
Comes in 4 trims (with translations)
Sport - Minimum monthly payment
Sport S - Minimum monthly plus few things all cars in 2020 should have at any price
Overland - I don’t really want to go “off the road” but I like the truck.
Rubicon - Comes with all the important off road hardware I’ll eventually and slowly replace with aftermarket.
Yes, you can still get the gladiator with a 6 speed manual.
