Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
The 4Auto option is nice in a 4-season climate. I appreciated it a lot in the winter in Nebraska, where the highways were mostly cleared but you could hit a patch of snow or ice here and there. My '98 4x4 Durango and '95 GMC Sierra were floor shift with no auto option. You could manually shift on the fly, but the Auto function in my work Tahoe was practically seamless...automatic, evenIt would just engage when it felt slippage. While you probably won't be dealing with snow and ice in Florida, I can definitely see the utility in driving rainstorms and the like.

I need to do some more research, instead of ASSuming my ten year old truck is not the same as I thought my twenty year old truck was, and also not ASSume it is like the new ones.
When driving locally in the winter if nothing else it would save wear and tear on the IWEs (the Ford gadgets that engage the hubs). I wish instead of replacing them when I did I could have retrofitted old fashioned locking hubs, but probably since locking hubs are maybe the most misunderstood device in the history of modern man there is no aftermarket option. There is an aftermarket option to eliminate them (there are even little nubs to park the vacuum lines on the eliminators), and if I have to replace them again I will probably eliminate them. At this point the truck is our third vehicle and if it only gets used when we need/want a truck having locked hubs would be NBD.
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
I’m a big Toyota fan but the new Tundras are ugly.
I read somewhere that Jeep is “slashing” prices too. Per the article, apparently slashing doesn’t mean what I think it should mean. A grand total of $1700 off of a Gladiator.

Apparently flooded doesn't mean what I think it should mean, the nearby small town Toyota dealer has eighty-eight new Toyotas, seven of them are Tundras.
When I was looking for my truck there were good deals on the Gladiators. I think they are overpriced relative to the colorado/canyon and need to come down. You can get a Canyon AT4 or Colorado Z71 for $45-$50ish MSRP. I don't think the Mojave and Rubicon can sell for $65-$70 with those trucks around.
I generally think it's better to buy in July or later when the next year's models are looming, or start showing up on the lots.
Tundras are ugly but resale will still be vastly superior to domestic
The above youtube video is clickbate shit he has no clue about the market he quotes a discount on a 2wd truck
Dealers can't give away Gladiators they are big shitty driving and un-capable and expensive and Jeep quality (not)
Base models went down in price, mid and upper trims went up in price, at least as far as MSRP. 2023s have some pretty good incentives because 2024s are out. The new interior is pretty sharp on the upper trims, one of the most usable screen layouts I've seen in any vehicle.

It has been a while since I've seen the last model year still on the lot new.
