Are the Gladiator guys supposed to wave? (cause they don't at me)

[Initial-Jeep]

If the JT had a 392 offering, we (partner and I) would have gotten that. JTs wave here.

Was this a debate with Scramblers?

I wave at anybody. Sometimes even other automakers. For the most part, everyone waves back, but I'd say there is less waves returned from people with older or older custom Jeeps. Doesn't bother me though, everyone should be friendly to each other.

I wave at JTs but most of the time it's because I think I'm waving at a Wrangler before I discover I'm not.

I know it's way cheaper to use parts already designed and made but really FCA? To me the Gladiator should be more unique than being 3/4 Wrangler and 1/4 pickup truck.

At the very least, the rear door should have been Gladiator specific. That door is shaped that way because the wheel well on a Wrangler is right behind it. On a Gladiator it just looks out of place.

Less and less jeep Owners wave which means more yuppie and hipster Karen’s and Chads are buying them with no intention of doing jeep things.

Everyone gets a wave, even the envious lady in the minivan next to me(been there), but more of this kinda wave. Also this wave goes out to all the people with their tops on at 80 degrees.

If it makes you feel any better, I've never owned a Gladiator, just a few Wranglers, and I won't wave at you either.

I'm only waving at the front half of their JT.

I'm only waving at the front half of their JT.

Can’t we at least get it for about 2/3’s?

JT guy here. I always wave.

My grandson thinks it’s cool. That’s the only opinion I care about. I’ll continue to wave, it’s your choice to wave back or not.

These threads are hilarious... bunch of either stock or electric Jeep owners trying to determine what a 'real' Jeep is. HAHA!

We have both. We wave at everyone. I wave at every XJ I see because if you are driving an XJ on the street, I know you love that sumbitch! HAHA!

I promise you that my 2/3rds Jeep is a real Jeep and I wheel my shit harder than 99% of the people claiming that it's not a real Jeep.

Remember, you were a new Jeep owner once upon a time too. If everyone was a dick to you about whether you waved or not, how many subsequent Jeeps would you have bought after that?

Had our Gladiator 18 months and I always waved and a lot of time Wrangler drivers didn't wave back and had a Purple Wrangler in our area flip us off often

I always wave....

I was just in Boerne for the first time last weekend! I have to admit, the amount of waves we got back throughout the weekend was impressive! People definitely embrace the lifestyle in your neck of the woods!
