Hello all. I was wondering if there was anyone in the Bay Area that had a AEV Gladiator that I could check out. I’m thinking about buying a used one but it’s a big jump from my Land Rover. I saw one at my local Walnut Creek dealership getting a service done. Thanks everyone

Personally I wouldn't buy an AEV rig. They have a bad habit of not regearing the rigs they sell wich will greatly shorten transmission life and negatively effect fuel economy. They are also difficult to deal with when it comes to warranty claims.
