Sometimes, it really does pay to have friends in all the right places. For Mel and Lisa over at EVO Manufacturing, it'd be FCA as they were able to get their hands on a brand new Jeep JT Gladiator Sport pickup truck and ahead of just about everyone else out there. For Cindy and I, it'd be them as they invited us out to Arizona to take their Gladiator out for the very first time and of course, out in the dirt! We know it isn't much but we hope you'll still enjoy this video for what it is - a first look at a brand new and bone stock Jeep truck off-road and wheeling across the desert.

All right, I can't wait to get home to watch this video! I could watch it on my phone... but I've got to have a big screen experience for all Wayalife videos. Lol.

how fast were you going on the dirt? it seemed to handle the speed nicely.

I'm thinking a Sport would be a nice addition to the driveway :thumb:

LOL - it's nothing special but we do hope you have fun watching it :)

Great video as always. Can't wait to see the build up of the JT and how much more capable it will become.

Well, we won't be able to capture everything but we do hope we can get some of it and share it with you here.

Hmm, maybe about 50 mph in places.

Great video. Cant wait to get one. That thing actually sits fairly high with those little tires. Are those the 245s ?

I'm sorry, but I was really stoked for the JT until I saw the clearance issues and how it scraped every damn obstacle. Glad I settled for the JL. I'm sure 35"+
or the RUBI WILL HELP BUT DAMN.....

It’s a truck...with 137” wheelbase...so of course the breakover angle is not as good as the JL. That’s why 37’s or 40’s is a big help...

But it will climb like a goat...

I wish! To the best of my knowledge, Jeep isn't taking orders yet and apparently, I don't know the right people there :crazyeyes: :D

Great video. Nicely done. I can’t wait !

The JT is a pickup truck through and through. Clearly, it's not intended to replace a Wrangler.

Cool video i think it looks great in black.Awesome scenery out there too.

Glad you liked the video :)
