Thanks guys. Yea the Gladiator has definitely grown on me cosmetically, even though I hated it at first. But as Shlade mentioned, a Rubicon version or something lifted with big tires looks quite sweet. The biggest reason I didn't explore them too seriously is because of the V6 they have, which my old Jeep had as well - I hated it and found it super sluggish. Especially compared to the 2 litre 4 cyl turbo. Right now, Gladiator only has the v6 option available, with a diesel coming down the line. The second biggest reason was my wife's reaction to them every time she sees one on the road, which is typically 'ew' or 'gross'. lol. And she generally doesn't care about vehicles or ever comments on them.
