Seriously Jeep?!?

[orange01z28]

If I was managing that department I would have had them do the same thing

Yeah....more like this:

I have to call out Jeep on this one.

Instead of new promo photos for jeep.com, they go and photoshop the new grille onto an older Gladiator promo.

Surely you can do better!

Congrats, you've just discovered the dirty little secrets that graphic designers have been using since the dawn of time. It's just a lot easier now than it used to be, when cut and paste was LITERALLY cutting and pasting. Yes, photos, and even text. Every. Single. Page.

They did the same thing after Reign was announced but before it was seen in the wild. The following pic appeared on Jeep's website.

Which apparently has been reused a couple of times.

I don't mind them doing that, but if you're going to please try and make the colors more accurate.

Ram HD did similar things. I had a 2023 Ram 3500 on order before there was proper litterature about them out and adds and videos showed previous exterior mirrors on them. Then suddenly the same videos had the new style mirrors.

Hmmm, most 4 wheel auto carriers weigh 3,000lbs empty. A Jeep grand wagoneer weighs 4,500 lbs. Total weight 7,500lbs behind a gladiator.

Oh, a glads tow capacity is only 4,500lbs...

Thinking the same thing.

On top of all that I'm pretty sure the Wagoneer on the trailer was also photoshopped to be there, because there are a few weird things going on in the back already in the old picture ?.

I thought the towing capacity of a properly equipped JT was around 7,700?
Without being able to measure the trailer, I would suggest that it's on the medium side of the size scale at around 7x16, based on the measurements of the Wagoneer (6.2'x15.5').
This would put the payload under the max by about 961 lbs, given the curb weight of the Wagoneer at 4514 and the weight of the 7x16 trailer at 2225.

Tandem Axle Trailers
Size	Empty Weight	Payload Capacity
	7000 GVWR	7000 GVWR
6x12	1775	5225
6x14	1925	5075
6x16	2075	4925
7x12	1925	5075
7x14	2200	4800
7x16	2225	4775
7x18	2375	4625
7x20	2525	4475
7x22	2675	4325
7x24	2825	4175

Jeep don’t care simple.

Even though the trailer / load combo might be (on paper) within capacity of a heavily optioned Gladiator, I can't imagine how fun it would be to pull that load up Kenosha Pass, or any pass in Colorado for that matter, with the V6 that's under the hood.

That picture is really pushing the max tow capacity for the gladiator; looks like an easy 7,500 lbs. And in those hills it would suck.

Recycling their marketing helps fight climate change or something....

To save our children

 

[keithcroshaw]

Yea, many disappointments to the Gadi folks, but it helps me feel less likely to want to upgrade to a Rubicon 4xe Gladiator if I could ever afford it because it won't exist.
Maybe I'm sitting on a soon to be discontinued cult classic vehicle.
Just baby it and put it in storage when it's paid off.

I saw an old school Wagoneer that mint outside my work the other day, could hardly believe my eyes. Looked like it just rolled off the factory floor...a thing of beauty. But yet, that photo...lolol. ?‍

It's the strike gotta save money. Lol
