I am seeing plenty of Merc pickups about, they are 40-50k Other pickups are around the £30-40 k mark to the decent spec ones.

They will sell, just depends on the numbers they want to sell to justify the effort.

If it turns up in the UK they best look at the rear bed payload, max listed on the US site is sub 800kgs, no good if you want it through the company books as a dual purpose 4x4

In my local Jeep dealer this week, the sales chap said Jeep UK have confirmed the UK get Gladiators from 4th quarter 2020, he said we would get the 3l diesel & 2l turbo petrol, not the v6.

The 1000kg payload thing will be a deal breaker for me, hope they have sorted it.
