I just got back. Took my Gladiator out - no problems!!!

Been there. In 2018 a squirrel chewed holes in an emissions hose in my 17 Wrangler JKUS while it was parked in our driveway. $300+ damage. I was able to garage my JK after we got the moving boxes out of the garage about 3 months after we moved. I have a Daisy Red Ryder with a scope at my front...

4.5 Jeeps - a first gen Jeep Cherokee Country (yes, I still wish I kept it) - a first gen Jeep Liberty (tiny goat that never got stuck in snow) - a 2017 Wrangler Sahara (with a stick shift NOT made of crayons & paper clips) - our current 2020 Gladiator Overland (bought it for towing our travel...

I’ve had a couple of electronic hiccups in the past 4 years. disconnect a battery terminal, wait about 30 seconds, and reconnect. The reset cured mine and they did not reappear.

I bought my Mopar Sun Rider from my Jeep dealer using Jeep Mastercard points. Easy solo install with 6 bolts. Two latches at the windshield & fold it back at a traffic light; or sitting in the truck close it. Nothing to store when you want an open top. Been through T-storms and. car washes with...

Can’t help you with tire size. Just nice to see someone else my age (76) enjoying a real Jeep.

I put 38,000 miles on my 2017 Wrangler JKUS before I traded it for my 2020 Gladi Overland, which has 47,000 miles - 7,500 with a 3,500 pound trailer. No issues with either. Factory batteries on both crapped out at 3 years. Service by the book except early oil changes on both at 2,500 miles and...

Since January, 2021. we’ve towed our Gulfstream VC 19 CSK 7,500+ miles. Three wonderful Mays in Panama City Beach FL & other wonderful adventures. Said goodbye with selling it today. At age 75+ it’s time to book a hotel instead of a campground.

My brand new 2017 JKUS got hit 16 hours and 50 miles after I picked it up. 11 weeks in a repair shop with 23,000 in repairs. Seemed minor but required a new frame. Be sure to insist on a Jeep certified shop, loaner, and diminished value. The extent of frame damage was hidden until they were well...

4 cylinder? I want the HP Hurricane I6 turbo!!!

Want all 4 tires? That’s part of the $31,900 Jeep “All 4X Package” plus the $9,985 delivery fees. Spare tire optional. God bless Stellantis pricing!!!

2020 Overland with tow package, no mods. 7,500 of our 44,000 miles have been towing our 19’ 3,500 pounds (dry) Gulfstream. No problems. Handles fine with an Equalizer tow/weight distribution hitch. Making our 4th 1,700 mile round trip to Florida this May. Cruise at 60 to 65 mph.

Bought a new 2017 JKU Sahara. 16 hours later with 75 miles on the odometer a driver ran a red light hitting the right front wheel. 11 weeks & $23,000 later (the business owner’s insurance paid) I got my Jeep back. Required a new frame. The Jeep certified repair shop basically hand-built my...

I tow a 19’ 3,500 pound travel trailer with a 2020 JT Overland with tow package. Three years so far with 7,500 miles towing, no issues. Add too much weight, or mechanical problems, it just may overheat. In the real world, my Overland has performed well doing what it was designed to do within its...

Winter gas, cold weather, and high winds all kill my mileage. I also find driving at 75 mph. on an interstate reduces my mileage by about 3 mpg compared to 60 mph on a state highway. In winter I average about 16.5 mpg. My Overland in summer will vary from a 10mpg low towing our travel trailer...

Test drove a Mojave when I bought my Gladi and really liked it a lot - except for the really loose steering. Ended up with an Overland instead. With a steering fix I’d have had that one in my garage.

I traded my 17 JKUS for a 20 JTO. When we bought a travel trailer we needed the additional towing capacity. I also found it much much easier to put kayaks in a pickup bed than install and load J cradles on the roof every time I wanted to go out. The shorter JKU was more nimble, but the JT has a...

Looked at what it would cost to replace the Overland I bought in Oct 2020 with an identical 2023. $6,985 more! Wish my income was up 13% in two years. Last saw this when Jimmy Carter was in the Whitehouse. If we all put away the plastic and our checkbooks for a while, the rate of price...

I’ve had my 20 Gladi since Sept, 20. About 5,500 of the 27,000 miles have been towing a 3,400 pound travel trailer. Traded a 17 JKU for my Overland and love it. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it and has never let me down. If I can’t get there with my Gladi Overland, I don’t need to...
