When it comes to buying an off-road vehicle with the ability to take you just about anywhere, you should consider the Gladiator. A Jeep dealer in Dunkirk NY can tell you everything you want to know about it as well as what years are the best ones. The choice could be a difficult one to make. The company has a reputation stretching back decades of manufacturing durable and exceptional off-road, all-terrain vehicles.
The Jeep Gladiator
The Gladiator has been available since 1963. It was produced as the Jeep Gladiator/J Series until 1987. The gladiator concept was then floated again in 2005. While your Jeep dealer may not have on hand any of the J Series, it should be able to provide you with models from the later “debut” and most certainly from its final incarnation as the Jeep Gladiator in 2018/2019.
Changes have taken place over the years. None of them have ever interfered with the truck’s off-road capabilities. They have only enhanced them while improving the Gladiator’s ability to drive on the streets through Dunkirk NY and the highways stretching onward to Miami FL and San Francisco Ca.
Highlights of the later Jeep Gladiators included:
- Hardtop and soft top options
- Removable roof and doors
- Payload of 1,700 lbs.
- Towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs
Buying a Gladiator
Talk to a licensed Jeep dealer. Ask about the best years of the Gladiator. While the 2022 model has excellent resale value, you should also consider older models such as those produced in 2019 and 2021.
