  1. Did the value of Gladiators just fall through the floor ???!

    You just need to go sell the Jeep--Immediately. Whether it's to Carmax, Carvana or your local dealership. Take the option that offers you the most money and walk away from it. You bought the wrong truck at the wrong time, and you will have negative equity to mitigate, but that relatively small...
  2. Did the value of Gladiators just fall through the floor ???!

    OP had mentioned overlanding with it. Looking at it from a towing/overlanding perspective, I had the 3.6 HA that I traded off for the 3.0 Rubi. From the very small amount of towing that I've done with the 3 liter, when asking the truck to work, the 3.0 seemed much less stressed in that...
  3. Did the value of Gladiators just fall through the floor ???!

    Shocking that your jeep is averaging 12 mpg. With the years of research, and with fuel economy being a key consideration, the diesel overland should have been your only option. My '23 JTRD is the heaviest pig--it has just about every option and it's averaging over 23 mpg. Basically use mine for...
  4. Towing with the JTOD -- completed a 520-mile round trip towing a 16 ft Anvil dual axle v-nose cargo trailer

    This is good to hear. I am going to start towing my travel trailer distance with the diesel I picked up late last year. It only weighs 3000 lbs, but I was concerned with the overheating talk. Posts like these help dissuade some of those fears.......
  5. Diesel cooling options and ideas

    Sounds like you got a lemon--I would have traded it off after the second breakdown. I love my diesel so far--we'll see how it tows in a month or so when I take my 16' trailer out. I moved it locally, and at 2800lbs, it wasn't even remotely stressed. I've been conscious about weight tho. You have...
  6. Gladiator Farout Edition

    Agreed--No select trac or mechanical differences at all. I specifically looked for a 2023 that was NOT a far out edition. No offense to those that like the stickers, but they're just a little too much in my opinion. I also think that the only color the unpainted grill looks good on is...
  7. Serious Engine issues 2500 miles after Rocker Arms and Camshaft replacement.

    Interested to see what is on the report the SA gives you. It might be an uphill battle connecting the issue to the prior work considering dealerships are experts at covering their asses and the fact that the truck made it almost 3,000 miles before it had this new problem:(
  8. Anyone DIY Woolwax or Fluid Film?

    I had mine coated with NHOU boss wax in November before winter and the salt hit. They hit it with the wax and then used their oil product in the frame cavities. After the first winter, it looks great--very small amount of surface rust seen here--
  9. Resale value

    What are you doing comparing a Bronco to a Gladiator? AFAIK--Ford doesn't have a midsize pickup version of the Bronco that could go up against the Jeep Gladiator?!? If you're looking at it from that perspective, you should take a look at Land Rovers or any of the other European SUV models--What...
  10. Resale value

    $38-$40k? It looks like '21 Mojaves/Rubicons are selling at around $42k retail with equal or less than your mileage.......
  11. Bestop Unparalleled Customer Service

    I was less than impressed with Bestop as well. I ordered a sunrider for my gladiator and one of the nuts was welded off center on the plate that attaches the sunrider frame to the jeep "rollbar". I could have returned the thing--at an expense of shipping and product to Bestop because it was...
  12. Got my new JT today

    Adaptive cruise and auto high beams was actually on my must have list. Not too many '23 Rubicons were equipped. I could only find the one diesel that I had to buy. The windshield has nothing to do with the ACC--Windshield folds down while the hardware stays on the mirror--nothing is mounted to...
  13. trade value for 2020 gladiator sport s to 2023 gladiator rubicon

    That's seriously low miles on your 2020. What are you really gaining tho? Is the plan to do more rock crawling? I traded my 2022 High Altitude for a 2023 Rubicon in November--High Altitude had roughly the same miles as yours, but the new '23 Rubicon had more options than the HA. I paid about...
  14. Just got my JTR back from paint repair

    That's terrible--It looks like they pried the door panels off with a screwdriver and damaged both the door and the panel in the process. They need to replace the entire door assembly--there's no way I would accept that work, BUT if you take it back to them there's a better than good chance that...
  15. 23 Mojave manual to 23 Willys diesel swap. Level of crazy: 1-10?

    Life's too short--I had a 2022 High Altitude with the 3.6. That truck was great and had all the options I wanted except adaptive cruise. Fast forward a year and a bright red rubicon diesel with ACC, cold weather and the trail cam shows up at a small dealership 3 hours north of me. Called them...
  16. What camper are you towing with your eco-diesel?

    16' basecamp. I bought the version without the rock guards to keep the tongue weight down. Lithium battery swap to further reduce it is next on the list. 2800 lbs empty, I haven't towed in heat with it yet, but the 3.6 had no issue pulling it, so I'm hoping the diesel is the same way.....
  17. NEW 2022 Jeep Rubicon MSRP $43,500... MSRP 58,530 Ft. Thomas KY Yes Really...

    It looks like it's a demo with almost 5,000 miles on it. If it was used as a loaner, they probably weren't the easiest miles either........
  18. 73,405 MSRP Diesel Rubicon 48,849 32% off

    LOL--Definitely--Some people just can't pull off the brighter colors. They are better off sticking with the more conservative white, black and grey trucks?
  19. Pricing/depreciation on 2024 models versus massively discounted 2023 models

    The lack of the cold weather package and IMHO not the most exciting color combo--silver paint with the flat black fenders and top are probably other reasons it's still on the lot.........It's crazy, but the '23 Rubicons really have to have a MRSP of $70k in order to be considered well optioned......
