Who's hungry? Hit up Freddy's today, tell them Hoovie sent you haha.
I went and told him Freddy sent me and he said to F-- OFF
Dude let me get that jeep if u don’t want it. I’ll buy freddys every week
Sorry to hear about Freddy passing. Condolences. Both of our daughters worked their first jobs & later supervised in Council Bluffs, the oldest trained in Papillion & opened Council Bluffs helped open 2 stores in Omaha, our youngest helped open Charlotte, NC I don't know if that's your franchise group, but it was a good first job for them, & helped them go on to do well in other fields. Regards.
I LOVE FREDDYS! Make me want to eat there more lol
@Roy Morales you have lost it
Always good to play it forward👍🏻

Idiotic pricing has a lot to do with the lagging sales. Whoever hired Mike Manley as a car executive should jump from a vey tall building.
Sounds like the Gladiator isn't right for you, and I get that. My wife and I have a 2-door JK, a 4-door JK, and a Gladiator. I love my 2-door, but the Gladiator is a perfect addition to the family. I've never owned a truck before the Gladiator but I'm finding it really comes in handy. We never tow, so towing capacity isn't an issue for us. I have a ceiling winch with a harness I use to remove Jeep tops when I'm by myself, otherwise the wife helps with it. Off road capability is top notch on the truck. Yes it has a long wheelbase. We've taken the Gladiator through Black Bear Pass twice and the switchbacks were interesting. But we know going into it that it's longer and it's not much of an issue. As a side note, we LOVE Freddy's! We have one about 90 seconds from the house and bring home burgers about once a week.
I can’t wait For mahindrah brings the thar. To the states it is roomer to come this year n it will be similar to a Jeep but around 24,000. With turbo diesel. They will sell a ton of them.
most people who buy solid front axle vehicles hate them lol
Those cant tow
So most of your complaints I am hearing is because you bought it and you were not the target market of the truck. You should stick to the full size trucks or got the Sport with the max towing option. So again you bought the wrong trim level also. Maybe spend a few more minutes researching what it is you are buying and if it fits the needs you are gonna use it.
Gladiator truck is built to go off road...Its not built for luxury
Hey, hoovie big fan!! I must note that I have a gladiator rubicon and it's a dream to drive. if you ever drove a jk or CJ or any other jeep like the ones I own you would have a different mentality. this jeep is an offroad rig. not a BMW or 07 Maserati.
I like my 1986 Comanche much better.
I had 2 '14 Jeeps, one heavily modified(JK) and one(JKU) fairly modified. The second one was just sitting. We bought property out in the country and wanted something to be able to tow. We decided to slim down the vehicles (plus BOTH had cracked thermostat housing, great job Jeep on plastic housings) and looked at the Gladiator, for about 1 min. After getting over the sticker shock then looked at the capabilities: 7k tow (2x the JKU), longer and wider than the JKs, same mpg, and then would have to put in another $15 like I did with the JK to get it on the same level (and at the same time 1/2 the upgrades weren't available yet. And with the $45k sticker price I looked and found a '18 Ram CTD for $2k more. The only thing I lost out on is the trail ability. Like he said, off road capability Ehhhh, towing ehhhh, price yeah no, mpg is abit better and with the offset of gas vs diesel just a lil bit on the downside of the fuel decision. But not he's too smart on the taking the roof off. With that fancy garage a simple $200 winch from HF takes care of that. I reuse mine when I took the JKs top off now to take the 5th wheel hitch in/out of the bed. Yeah Jeep wasn't too smart with the Gladiator, but there is a sucker born every min.
They have lifts for those tops
Many people buy an expensive car thinking it will be cheap to maintain & run. Then they sell it realizing they made a mistake . Seen it all before...... the wrong car for you.
They put a flatbed on a wrangler and called it a truck. What a waste of resources.
Simple, Jeeps are overpriced...
it looks so cursed
When a guy states that he drove a prius and only put 3k on the gladiator in a year, you loose all credibility. Sorry
OK.. 1st.. you are SO out of touch with Jeep culture with your massive ego. 2nd, that wrangler you used in CO was probably a rental. Stick to what you know best... standard issue full sized boring GMCs or F150s that run your massive empire over asphalt just fine.
Seems like you’re wasting a whole lot of money.......
Dude drove a Prius wtf did you expect!? 😂 Money doesn't buy good taste 👉🏼
Buddy, stay on topic! It took half way through to get to your first gripe.
Who said the Gladiator had good towing capacity?? Chrysler didn't.. It feels like a luxury car vs a truck because it is. People like you expecting a tank, you bought a watered-down wrangler with a over sized base. Just like the JLs and some JKs. People purchase them an return them a year later because of ride, gas mileage, an the fact its not a rover. People are stupid and happy to waste their money. I'm happy to watch an be entertained by foolish jeep owners not understanding what a Jeep is. Just like the girl who sunk hers in mud an wonders why it's not working properly..
You never buy the first year model
They’re junk!
I want a diesel one
First, launch, and limited editions rarely appear on time and never survive their initial depreciation. Just look at my Focus RS, Mazdspeed3, or Mazda RX8 Shinko as examples no collector value at all all have been abandoned as well. Interesting video.
It’s a great keep, I love my gladiator. I have exactly the same truck.
Meh, I love my glad off roading and on the road!
I would give anything to own one ! Nice review
A lot of billshits, I am sorry I have lost15 minutes of my life
I never heard a white person say “hooptie” 😂
50k for this......and you had to buy and own it before you realized that was ridiculous.....?
Captian Over: "Hoovie, do you like movies about gladiators?" Apparently not.
My six speed Gladiator Rubicon is so much fun never gets boring to drive.
u good with mowing down dogs uh? that's good to know
Awww I love this! Phil is a good friend of mine ☺️
thing is garbage of course your're getting rid of it!!!
Love Freddy’s
I love the idea of this truck. It ticks all the boxes for me, as I don't need a lot of the "truck" stuff other than a bed would be nice to have. However, Jeep thinks I'm made of money, because these are asking easily double what I would ever pay for any vehicle. No cool or fun truck is worth that kinda ridiculous price point. Do they realize I can buy an old F series AND a Focus ST for the amount of money they are asking?!
Girl truck
Well when you're yuppie...
please go get a toyota tundra...
I can get 2 tundras and a nice gibson les paul now that you sold this crap!!!
It cannot ...
Every jeep or whatever brand have different up&down..comments of an owner..I cannot perfectly give what you expect.Its like us human being..different body shape..looks..& attitude.
Sold my Gladiator after 5700 miles, and several dealer trips. Went back to a Tundra Pro.
I live in raytown mo right near you so funny small world
this would be perfect for where i am...Botswana, Africa Edit; the steering wheel is on the wrong side tho LOL
If u want a truck get a truck I own a wrangler had zero interest in that gladiator Was cool for like a week
Well, Jeeps suck, put a bed on it and it’s sucks even more. It’s a crappy vehicle with a bed on it. Now it’s ugly too and heavier.
People like you should not buy the Rubicon model. You will never use the lockers or winch ready bumper
It sure if car review or burger plug
Are you Jeff Goldblum's son? I like the mannerisms, rythm and tone of your voice. Anyone else hear it?
I'd really like to see one of these as a regular cab.
Big mistake swapping the gmc for the jeep my god that thing was a beauty
If you want a full size truck capability, buy a damn full size and stop bitching about a mid-size that doesn't tow like a full size. Go back to your bougie luxury "truck".
And I hear with the roof off, the people in the back get a wind tunnel effect. Their mouths would be eating air. lol
I was interested in the Jeep Gladiator until I saw the price. Screw that.
15:20 The rapping made me Unsubscribe
The Freddy's where I lived closed down....shame....I enjoyed eating there....and the Gladiator is a cool concept,that I wasn't expecting to like,but given a choice it would definitely be a full size 4 door truck....probably an F150.....
I remember thinking about trading my ‘16 Jeep in for the Gladiator Launch Edition, until I heard the price 🤣
It’s too expensive for nothing
My god. Whattah fkn sook this bloke is 🤦🏽♂️
Do NOT watch past 15:20! You'll be sorry if you do.
"Full size truck, full size truck. They're the same money." Yep you are correct but which one is going to depreciate faster?
Please stop calling Chrysler sh#t jeep! It's not, it never will be! Unless you spend $ 20,000 on upgrades it will always be 💩
Well we sure seen this coming didn't we..... Overpriced, under powered and doesn't do a single thing very well 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
And way way too much useless unwanted technology!
Simple. FIAT involved is a deal killer. Garbage.
284HP is not enough? Funny, the last Jeep pickup had around 100HP I6 engine.
Pretty accurate review. Gladiator is definitely a disappointment. Definitely a shameful performance for off-road. Tow capacity is also embarrassing.
And what they don't tell you if you go in the mud with it. It voidz the warranty..
Up 23% year over year in 4th quarter though...
When you come to Hot Springs I had better know about it! I live like 30 seconds from the Freddy's and even though it is really good they still tore down my favorite car wash to build it!
Its Gronk if he never played sports lol
So basically ......."I sold the rolling couch and purchased a camping chair based on "lifestyle signaling" it did not fit my couch lifestyle."
I’m disappointed I clicked on this video
Jeep the biggest piece of junk I own
I only like willys jeeps anyway. They where built better.
Your first mistake was considering a Jeep instead of a 4Runner. Oh well, no one's perfect ;)
You coming to the Jonesboro Freddys??
For someone who doesn’t tow often and rarely goes off roaring this truck might work better. To my understanding it’s more in line with a Tacoma or Canyon/Colorado...only with the price tag of a loaded Ram or F-150.
Truck looks like shit
I'm only 6 months into a lease on a Gladiator and desperately want my Grand Caravan SXT back! I'm a 6' 1" 240lb larger framed guy and the driver's seat/cockpit of this thing is very narrow and uncomfortable. My right knee digs against the 4x4 shifter. The entire interior is about as big as a compact car that's connected to a tiny bed that can't haul anything terribly substantial. I fell for the "cool factor" to haul my new bass boat...but I'm already counting down the days until this lease is over. UGH! I'm an idiot! :(
Dude should have kept the Denali
I live in Ottawa, I’m glad you guys brought Freddy’s in.
They really do suck. It could’ve been pretty cool but between the lame design and the god awful pricing, they just shot themselves in the foot.
TACOMA is Toyota
He keeps comparing the gladiator to other vehicles but it's not those vehicles its it's own thing, it's like an all terrain tire, it's not great at anything but it's good at everything.
the only people that buy these are jeep nerds who need a pickup but dont want to spend less money for more truck with the big 3 truck companies.
Wait you didn't realize it was a disappointment when you bought it
Why are you comparing a midsize truck to full size trucks? I know that price is a big factor, but trucks come with a lot of options. Honestly, the same can be said about full size trucks. If you are looking at a full size truck with a lot of extras, you can probably find a cheaper super duty that can tow more.
A modern Fiat getting to 200k this should be a great series.
Why would you buy one to start with......WW2 technology
Here's everything I hate about this Gladiator, and now it's someone else's problem. Haha ... in all honesty, very nice of you.
That was awesome!
What is the towing capacity
GET A RIDGELINE
I’d rather put 5k into my Jeep and rape that thing offroad 😂😂
