I'm still passively interested in this thing. I'm loving the specs of the back seat leg room, don't care about the shortened bed, and really only want to know if there's gong to be a compact pickup with 4' between the wheel wells finally on the market.
I'm a little concerned about whether or not it will actually turn out to be more maneuverable. The Wrangler Unlimited has a somewhat disappointing 20ft turning radius, and I'm assuming the Gladiator will be worse.
