I stopped at my dealer last week to check on my LE order. They had just received a Gladiator for stock so the salesman who is a Jeeper himself and I took it for a test drive. Steering is exactly the same feeling as my JLUR. The ride is much better with the longer wheelbase and additional weight. What I really noticed was the difference in perceived power and acceleration. The weight difference makes a noticeable difference in acceleration. Still a very nice vehicle, and I’m glad to have ordered one.
