Follow up, drove the wife's X3M. There is something magical about the power deliver of that 3.0 liter inline 6. I would love it if Stellantis can execute the Hurricane to be that smooth

I don't think that is needed. Gladiator already seats 5, and adding one more row + a little cargo area behind the 3rd row is not going to be a problem with the existing cab length.

See below the length comparison of a 7-seater mid-size SUV and an 8-seater large-size SUV. You will see that Gladiator is plenty long even compared to the large SUV like Yukon

A front camera. I'm selling my 2021 JLR for a new one with a front camera.
There will be people who see this and think the idea is ludicrous.

It's not. After using it, there's no way I'll ever have a vehicle like this without a front facing trail camera again.

Specifically added this to my '21 build. Looking forward to using it next week in Moab...if it didn't wash away over the weekend...

Places like Moab with the super steep climbs and descents are where it's really indispensable. Half the time you'd be looking at nothing but sky over your hood, or not being able to visualize anything in front of you due to a drop-off, without the camera.

Saves so much getting out and scouting an unfamiliar obstacle, or wanting a spot on an otherwise easy obstacle just because you can't see anything.

Happy I missed that flooding by a week.

If the MSRP of a full loaded JLUR dropped below $40k again and well know that ain't happening lol.

Jeeps always had a high seating position for better viewing over the hood and fenders when doing technical offroading. It's a feature :)

My TJ was nothing like this. The JL seating position and lack of seat bottom angle are absurd. Your hips never relax because you are partially supporting your weight with your feet.

I think it's fairly perfect when cranked down to the lowest angle. You can get a crazy seat angle cranking it up.
