Cry All You Want, A Two Door Gladiator Isn't Happening Anytime Soon

No, despite the fact that Jeep recently went out of its way to build an awesome, two-door J6 Jeep Gladiator concept ahead of the 2019 Easter Jeep Safari, FCA claims that it won't build a two-door Gladiator any time soon, no matter how much we cry.

The J6 is a regular cab Gladiator with a six-foot bed instead of the five-footer that comes on the regular Gladiator. For many of us, it clears up the proportions of the vehicle and is far more appealing than a normal four-door. Despite the Five-Quarter concept that Jeep showed The Drive last week, most of the attention was centered around this bright blue beauty.

I would buy the 2 door. You can keep the 4 door.

I think Jeep customers would definitely buy this. In droves.

Data on the Wrangler suggests otherwise.

@MD - Not unique enough?

Unique is only good if it sells and the 4-door Wrangler is the winner in that regard. There is a very specific clientele for the 2 door Wangler, but it's a small group, and a pickup isn't what they are after. About 2/3rds of Wrangler sales are 4 door models, so a 2 door Gladiator just does not make good business sense.

@MD with data points like that it is hard to make a solid sales argument then for the 2-door Gladiator.

I'd rather have a 2 door Gladiator too, but that's not where the money is.

The marketplace has spoken. 4 door vehicles are what the public wants.
