I have it on my Gladiator Rubicon and find it to work as flawlessly as the same feature on my 2020 Model Y Tesla. I absolutely would recommend anyone buying a new Gladiator to get it.
I went with the cheapest ($564) Warn 10k with braided steel able. I Had a Smittybuilt with synthetic cable. Smelled electrical wire burning emanating from top of winch. Disconnected from battery. Both were professionally installed. I guess I should have pursued a warranty claim. Iām satisfied...
Having owned a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon Gobi color with painted fenders which suffered greatly from ādesert pin strippingā I decided to go with the black fenders on my red 2020 Rubicon Gladiator. Less to worry about.

I owned a 2017 Wrangler Rubicon Recon prior to my 2020 JTR. Both with the same 3.6 Pentastar engine specs. The Wrangler was a performance disappointment. Slow throttle response.

I sold my 2017 JKU Rubicon Recon to get into a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon because I like the versatility of a pick up. Same engine specs, but what happened! The Gladiator is 10 times friskier than the Wrangler. Both have auto transmission. 5 vs 8 speed. If the Recon was as quick as the Gladiator, I...
