My 2021 Gladiator Mojave hits 95k miles

[Bandit’s Lair]

There's a lot more needed after replacing the engine.

Id let AMW do it for me. It would be worth another round of payments to get the 5.7 in there. Probably can’t because of Cali but it would be nice. I’m slowly starting a fund for another 3.6.

Oh, I know that. But I won't replace the 3.6 with the same.

Have you had any issues? At 108k, I had a motor replaced, but the motor had many issues before needing replacement. Another member went 238k before having the Pentastar tick.

No issues at all so far except for the damn aux battery that has gone 3 times now.

Seek one from Places that pull them from newer model wrecked vehicles . LKQonline.com will show pictures of the vehicle it comes from . Then buy the motor from it if it is damaged in the rear end of the vehicle or side impact...

So my Mojave is at 95k miles.
ive Changed the oil every 5k full synthetic and maintained it well.
but realistically I’m concerned about how long I can use it as a daily driver.
I was offered $25k for it and was considering putting that towards another vehicle.
I know it’s just a guess but what do you guys think you will get out of your gladiators total mileage-wise
trying to guess whether I’m at the point its going to start to have issues, or if I can hope to get years from it.

When I purchased my 2024 Gladiator Sport new last year, my daily driver had just turned 400,000 miles. It is a 2001 Ford Ranger with the 4.0L, which I meticulously maintained, especially with oil changes every 5K. I still use that truck to do the things I'm still not ready for my Gladiator to do, like pull down trees and haul mulch. In my opinion, it is not the miles on the clock, but how you do maintenance that will determine how long your truck will last.
And one last thought; If your truck ever does require a new engine, or transmission, it's a lot cheaper to replace those than to purchase a brand new one.

The Best Jeep is the one thats paid Off, I aint made of cash but as the end is growing near , I am slowly getting things gathered to do yet more bigger upgrades to the Gladiator. The original purchase is the top expense . Trans, engine , suspension upgrades and changes are all those that are added to the original purchase that in my opinion only hopefully has to happen One time. Jeep once rest of it is aftermarket.

Speaking of maintenance…

Besides oil changes what else have you done…?
- transmission and filter?
- Differentials?
- Transfer case fluid?

If you’ve been keeping up on those then there is a good chance that your JT will continue to last a long time.

There is no Magic 8 Ball to predict the future on things like this, but just gambling on probability which favors going the distance of at least 200K-300K+ miles.
