I'm 13 months in and have had no issues. I'm also fairly neutral on this truck for some reason. Maybe that will change if I get around to lifting it and getting some new wheels. Waiting on my camper shell to come in first before I decide on that stuff.

24k miles since Dec 2019.

TSB steering = fixed
Leaking back window = fixed

Lifted, new tires, hot heads, winch, bumper, etc


I love it so much I want another … I miss my 2.8L diesel and I’m looking at Willys 3.0L or just go Rubi 3.6L and just add 35’s … i want more options & not as much bling this time I think.


But the only way I would part from my JT that I made mine… is for another JT.

Since Aug 7, 2019. Still giggle like a little kid when I drive it. I look at others driving generic vehicles (but still nice) all the time and think to myself "Why? Reliable conveyance sure, but gawd that is boring!". Even driving my buddies M3, yeah it's fun to push hard but everyday driving it's a snooze fest! Been wanting to be a Jeeper for a long time and I don't know I'll ever look back.

Chances are you won’t!

Almost 2 months in, and I'm really loving my Jeep Truck. It's my first pickup truck and second Jeep, and I plan on having the Gladiator for a very long time.

2021 Sport S, 1971 J4000, a bunch of other stuff
9 months, 17,000 miles, and soon to be on my 3rd windshield.
I’ve done zero suspension work, changed the wheels but kept stock size wheels & tires. Set it up as a toad.
It goes anywhere I want to take it, is fun to drive, and I’m constantly being asked about it.
So yeah, I still like it.

When I was in Colorado Springs last week - I think we saw two Gladiators, which sort of surprised me considering every other vehicle on the highway was a Wrangler of some sort.
Anyway, while it was parked at the hotel near the show area, 4 times while I was taking parts to my truck or walking away from it, people hollered out and asked me how I liked my Jeep truck. I told them all I loved it, especially driving around Colorado and how much fun it was, and comfortable on the road. A couple of them seemed almost like they were checking them out for possible interest of their own in the future.
On the way home we saw only 7 in those 11-12 hours of driving. Two of those were one right after the other going the other way.

One year, one month and one day. At Ormond Beach the other day (Truck week at Daytona), Jeeps were pulling out stuck 2 wheel trucks and some lifted 4 wheel drives, left and right. Did not see any Jeeps stuck in the sand ! My JT is my beach buggy !

Great to hear the happy comments vs the complaints!

I hate to ask this Kevin, but what is a toad? Does that make you a prince in disguise?
