That may be part of the reason for no small trucks, but it does not address the issue of no one wanting two door vehicles anymore.
That’s a solid set up. The diesel is intriguing but I’ve wanted the 6.2 for a long time. I was going to opt for the custom trailboss and save 10k but my wife didn’t want me to get a new vehicle and feel like it was a “downgrade” from my ltz avalanche. I was fully content with the 5.3 to 6.2 upgrade but the wife wins this one much to my benefit lol.I have a 2020 AT4, with the Duramax 3.0, love the millage,34 mpg on highway.
I do whish for a 5.7 Hemi in a Jeep Willys
He said, if CAFE killed 2 door vehicles then why is the JL not moving like the JLU. Sure truck companies are incentivized to produce larger vehicles. They also make more money off quad cabs, so it's not just gov regulations. It's primarily market conditions. In the US people want 4 door vehicles. Auto manufacturers are the first to throw the government under the bus, yet say it's the customers that don't want them. They could also only offer those 2 door packages in small tire high aero packages to increase the fuel economy.
This is why I have leather seats and a bunch of upgrades. I'd be perfectly fine with the $36k JTRs on Autotrader, but she wanted me to have them. Can't complain.That’s a solid set up.

I would pay MSRP and will happily put a deposit down today... Hint, hint Jeep if you’re listening.This "no one" wants one.
In my opinion, the Gladiator is too long, so I'll never buy a Gladiator.
But this? Sold!
J6 thread here. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/jeep-j6-any-update.53548/ I promote it whenever I can. Hoping the J6 will be built. Long shot I know.
392 in a gladiator would be a mess I remember when Chevrolet came out with that SS short bed pickup with the 454 OMG you had to take off at the red lights very slowly with the gas pedal or you would just spend the tires gladiator is too light in the back that truck you would be sliding and burning out taking off at red lightsI haven’t written off the possibility of buying a Gladiator in the future. I was seriously considering one when they first came out but I wanted a diesel. Jeep took a long time in getting that to market and I eventually bought a Raptor.
If they offered a 392, I think I’d pull the trigger but it’s hard to deny that Jeep compromised this vehicle in the design phase. A bed that is too shallow and too short is a big handicap, as is the very long wheelbase (11 inches longer than a Ford Ranger).
