35's and 2.5 inch front lift for over 2 years on Sport, no re-gearing. Lost about 2mpg, however I still got 22mpg on last road trip. I mostly average 19 mpg combined in the summer, 17 mpg in the winter. Factory wheels/tires make the truck look disappointing for that price range.
Jeep is not as reliable as a Toyota (see consumer reports) but is way more fun. My visor and tailgate lock broke down în the first year, but where else can you find a convertible pickup? The build quality feels cheap but hopefully the powertrain is solid.
Why not? Great headlight visibility improvement for $70. Jeep people get ripped off on alot of aftermarket stuff. Headlights don't have to be one of them.
You'll regret not getting 35's. I got the Ridge Grappler with 3.73 gears. I lost 2 MPG's and no problems keeping 8th gear on flat ground. If you have alot of hills or if you tow alot then re-gear or stay with factory tires. The difference in weight between 33's and 35's is not that big.
The Wrangler starts at about the same price, but charging extra for power windows, power locks, 8 inch screen and air conditioning is crazy in 2021. The ride quality on normal roads is night and day. Most people use these cars as daily driver. I love my Gladiator, but if I was buying an suv, the...
I got a base Sport with no options and added what I wanted. Love the manual windows. Only wished I bought the Max Tow. Last year they reduced the base Sport to $30,000 when nobody was shopping. Prices might be different today.
The Bronco is a better product. 4 piece removable roof panel, better quality ride and larger screen (my 5 inch screen is a joke). All vehicles have been getting larger because that's what people want. I bought a Gladiator because it's a convertible truck, but the Wrangler is definitely in trouble.
