[@DarrellTurnerJr]

Dealers near me are selling these at $37 to $40k

[@booster8497]

I got a white nighthawk in October. 36k plus tax, it’s got all you need. In the world of 45k plus mid size trucks it’s an awesome deal. With the money you save you can up fit it however you want it and it rides really well. If you find a 2024, haggle on it, it’s the same as 2025 so you don’t get anything new with the 2025

[@JR-ut1yx]

We have a white 24 Nighthawk and love it.

[@Xandil]

I have a 2024 in Anvil and really like it. It's nice without all the intrusive safety tech like lane keep assist and forward collosion sensors. The new UConnect is especially good. The Nighthawk package adds nice features and is a good value. It's much more capable than I'll ever need. I got about $8K off sticker.

[@andrewshenton6541]

That makes it a little more palatable for 360000,wish it was a Willy’s package tho

[@AntonioMcGill-v8m]

What is the Uconnect? And how do you use it?

[@Xandil]

@@AntonioMcGill-v8m It's the infotainment software.

[@Letsberealish]

Very cool. My 2013 wrangler has 200k, still going strong. Hopefully Stellantis firing their CEO will bring good changes to Jeep soon.

[@JM21999]

The nighthawk is a really good package that you can build off with a really good street look. Regear to 4:56, add the mopar CIA and Exhaust. Then you can a little fun car. I’ve owned 3 so far and loved them all!

[@jimboh.2654]

There shoudb be package named nighthawk tuah

[@AntonioMcGill-v8m]

​@@jimboh.2654😂

[@trevorcrowe7571]

Exactly the same as our 24 Nighthawk. Definitely get the technology group, so much nicer with adaptive cruise, led lights, and Alpine stereo. Stellantid really should put a small v8 in these. The v6 constantly shifts gears up any incline.

[@mowcowbell]

The 5.7L Hemi V8 would be perfect in this.

I thought of that famous painting by Edward Hopper. Nighthawks.

[@KenMcCune-wb3jp]

Very cool Jeep gladiator nighthawk you can take it anywhere you want to go

[@MysteeriusFrend]

Literally, all I want is heat, ac, power windows and locks, connectivity, and basic cruise control.

[@Xandil]

After having all the tech in my last few vehicles, it's refreshing to get back to the basics. I really like not having the intrusive lane keeping assist and sensitive auto braking. The Nighthawk gives the feeling of a purposely old school truck with a few basic modern features. It's fun to drive.

[@ryancoleman6146]

Same! My last ride was fully loaded with everything. I found I never really used the functions. I purchased a 25 Gladiator Nighthawk. It’s so basic, but has all the comforts I need. Love it so far!

[@michaellarson7572]

Just bought a 2025 nighthawk. Had deals for 36 -38 range but had to pay up and get one with the tow package. Seems very little of the nighthawks were equipped with the tow package

[@Reefurr]

I haven't watched one of Bros' videos in forever. He looks like the Mandarin from Iron Man. I like his new look.

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

There is a 2024 gladiator mojave 4x4 near me for 70k but has a 12k discount

[@ctrlnull7228]

Mojave is so much better

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

@ctrlnull7228 yes.

[@CagedSUPERMAN]

@@ctrlnull7228nothing Jeep is worth more than $30k

[@marksullivan8200]

I think the suspension is set up for towing vs off road though I could be wrong

[@StevenEveral]

IMHO, this is what a Gladiator/Wrangler should be. This seems like it would be a good commuter vehicle, but it also looks like it would be a good platform for some off-road kit.

[@taker610]

Why not a single turbo hurricane to replace the aging pentastar? I think this same dealer is taking something like 12k off of Rubicons right now.

[@youtubechannels9205]

Turbos will last 100k

[@michelle-lz8tg]

the pentastar 3.6 is a tried and true engine...and is very reliable if you don't abuse it. 500k miles is not unheard of...turbocharging an engine benefits by giving more power per displacement but comes at a cost of longevity.

[@371kenny]

Its too long to fit in there

[@CagedSUPERMAN]

@@youtubechannels9205my turbos in my f150 are going strong 2015

[@blakemarchand6650]

It’s a great JT to make a build off of

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

Ben now i wish to see one in person

[@jamesmyers9285]

A friend owns a 2022 Ford Bronco (Full-size). and a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 3.6L V6. I prefer the Bronco ride, but he prefers the Wrangler overall. I would buy a Wrangler or a Gladiator if they offered the option of an Independent Front Axle for on-road ride quality, which is where most Wranglers/Gladiators in my area stay. Make it an option for those who love Wranglers/Gladiators, but don't want the off-putting ride and handling of a solid front axle. What was rattling in your parking lot test ride?

[@michelle-lz8tg]

those people generally opt for the toyota 4 runner....that solid axle is what makes a wrangler a true jeep and differentiates it from the rest of the suv's all of which are pretty much the same IMO....same for the other trucks...they are all IFS fronts.

[@johnelliott4521]

Needs a manual

[@stevekam5243]

I wish they would give you a rear locker on the lower trim levels. How much is it to add it after ?

[@chrismears1854]

Wish they would put the 3.0 hurricane in these gladiators

[@omw2fyb496]

I'd be interested to see a review on the Rubicon X with some optional packages.

[@michelle-lz8tg]

those rims and tires look ridiculous on a gladiator...they should come with smaller diameter rims and more sidewall...

[@christanaka1756]

You don't really address how it is any different then prior years or how it makes more sense. I own a 2023 gladiator and have no complaints. Only changes that I wish I had on mine is the increase in airbags that you didn't mention.

[@ryannewazada2102]

Aloha Ben. This is an upgrade over the basic Sport S itself, but this is very affordable. It should have a Nighthawk decal on the sides, including the left and right side of the hood . Yet, where's the new Hurricane 3.0L inline engine that Jeep planned to make available for the 2025 Gladiators? Also, this should have the Max Tow Package option for this Nighthawk Edition. 😊🎉❤

[@alp3781]

My 25 RAM 1500 Laramie, pack 2, sport pack and Pano-roof was cheaper then this one. I went to look at one, drove it and then I am sitting at the dealer and looking around, ask to drive the RAM and it took me 1/2 an hour to make a deal. 60K out the door. I couldn't believe the amazing ride of the RAM compare to the Glad. Yes, deferent Apples, but still, lease payments vs the versatility, RAM is the winner. No regrets.

[@scottbrawley407]

2025 Jeep Gladiator Sport Nighthawk Special Edition 4-Door Convertible Truck!

[@kevinowen9756]

2026 rumor V8 coming back, could be in Gladiator. And on the same platform * dual line assembly, A new Dakota. Sounds like the old teams coming back, layoffs rescinded, reopening plants. 30-35% off MSRP for 2026. We'll see. Dodge Jeep & Ram will return, Chrysler nothing heard, but most likely add back vehicles.

[@lordrayden3045]

Probably not

[@Blehhhhhhhhy]

Seen these things on the trail their long wheelbase makes them scrape their ass on literally every incline and off camber situation. These things should come out of the factory with 5 inches of lift and 38s MINIMUM! That or offer a 2 door model. If you buy these stock most offroading you can do is drive on grass

[@ConnorJoyce-cq4do]

On 20s tho? That seems real weird for a gladiator

[@RINGSx5]

Payload 911 lbs? That’s laughably bad

[@andrewshenton6541]

44000,not too crazy?,its a sport with black appearance

[@shootermcgavin4999]

Bu1lding 7 B3n.

[@JanetMucho-zz6qv]

Where are you? I want to discuss purchasing six of these please. Thank you. Not immediate rush . I hope… Happy Happy 2025! I have a new Christmas baby and a 2nd birthday to celebrate end of January. Now THIS is a truck! MY third fourth fifth sixth and seventh … Hmmm this is good math. I should’ve been a teacher … I am a student and a teacher. Where are you, Mr Cool Trucks? Thanks so very much. I have been waiting to see a real Jeep truck. Indian town, right? May or may not have paw prints on street's but can build a truck . If you can add cute paw prints to two of them, let’s make a deal soon. Please

[@scottleggejr]

Right out of the gate with the 3.6 😂 nope. These things need more power. Womp womp

[@pickleman5041]

Still haven't lowered the price. That's an absolute terrible deal. 44 for a skeleton. GTFOH!

[@ur_asian_milfoil]

If i buy a jeep... the onky jeep ill buy is a Mail truck jeep lol 😆

[@lordrayden3045]

Wow Look at this edgy comment

[@GA-in4mw]

This guy is talking so fast just like a 2500 rpm engine.

[@zidri1]

Sorry,but no gladiator make sense,garbage stays garbage.

[@daved6464]

BIG FAIL 20 inch wheels on a Jeep. i dont see anything special here.

[@JoeBlunt]

Only truck uglier than cybertuck

Yeah trash

[@dvader3263]

😂Watching Gladiator reviews to call it trash😂 Better 4U2 get a life.😂

[@briankay5384]

Put a real engine in it

[@JuanGonzalez-bf8eh]

If it's not a Rubicon it's fucking ugly 😅
