My only complaint is the hard top panel isn't fitting exactly right and is creating a lot of wind noise at speed, but that's a warranty issue that I'll get handled.
Opted for the automatic since my wife will be driving it and we'll be using it as a truck. I'll save the three pedals for the go fast cars  |
Thanks for responding.
We had a '95 YJ for 14 years, which is far more raw than anything Jeep makes nowadays and replaced it with a Hummer H3T. While I like the Hummer a lot, it eats starters for some reason, and the GM 4 speed auto is just a crappy transmission, with no conversion possible. The Gladiator interests me because it has a manual transmission. The bed seems even less useful than the Hummer's. I plan on taking a test drive in the Gladiator soon.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
