Is The Jeep Gladiator About To Go On A Sales Tear? Launch Edition That Costs $61k SOLD OUT In 24h...
It was only days ago I posted about the all-new, 2020 Jeep Gladiator's price.
The initial impression from the commenters was that this is a product that is way overpriced. At $35,000, sure, it's a great product. At $61,000 though, it was outrageous.
But, is it?
We have to ask ourselves that again as the 2020 Gladiator Launch Edition that retails for about $61,000 just sold out in 24 hours. And, we're not talking about 419 units. We're talking about 4,910.
That's not an insignificant number of vehicles to move in 24 hours, folks.
People have been waiting for a Jeep Wrangler pick-up truck for quite some time and I think it's safe to say there's some pent up demand. That said, judging from this spectacle we've got to ask:
