I have owned mine for 3 months, haven't wheeled it yet, but yes still love it. Like taking my Jeep whenever we go anywhere because I love driving it so.
Hard to take the keys out of your pocket!?

Just hit my 1941 mark. So here are my thoughts so far. First I do love the looks and functionality for the Gladiator. I knew I was purchasing a Jeep first and foremost and then a truck second. So it fits what I wanted in a vehicle. My only complaints so far have been the steering issues. On the several hour drive home from the dealership I was all over the road. Once home started reading up on this forum and have mostly taken care of the issue. The rest are annoying issues like CarPlay is basically useless due to constant disconnecting and freezing. (Yes I am using a brand new Apple cable purchased from the Apple store), if anyone has a true solution to this please let me know. Overall I’m happy I made the purchase and plan on keeping for several years.

I still love it big time. I’m 3 months in and through almost 8k miles. Thank goodness my commute is about to drop BIG TIME to 22 miles round trip.

I just hand-washed it for the first time today…wheels, waxing, tire shine, etc. I’ll probably never do that again in Texas summer heat, but she sure looks good all dressed up!
People ask me why I keep my vehicle clean? I said you ever take a shower after playing in the mud?

Coming up on 8 months and 11,500 miles on it and still drive it with a big smile just like the day I drove it brand new out of the dealership parking lot. I absolutely love this Rig. I’ve had a Ford Sportstrac (236,000 miles)and a GMC Canyon (134,000 miles)in the past and they don’t compare to the JT. The way it drives, the feel of it, and all the compliments that I get. I’m planning to drive this Rig till it stops running and hoping to get lots of miles on it.

I've had mine for a year now. As long as I don't tow anything with it I really enjoy driving it. Overall I'm still very happy with it.
I’m towing a boat across country tomorrow. I’ll post how it goes!

Two years & 11 days (35k miles). Still love it and done a bunch of mods along the way. This forum has been great too. More to do and looking forward to the next 20 years.

1 week & 2 days as of today. Can’t get the smile off my face. Look for excuses to drive it.
