One of the things that probably doesn't get talked about (or does it?) is having these tall vehicles and kids. How is someone going to feel if their 9-year-old son or daughter falls while trying to exit the small rear doors of a Gladiator Rubicon or Mojave and cracks their skull open on the...

Greg, What is Gupton doing on extended warranties if you can answer that question? Those things are "highly negotiable" in most states. It's literally a game of if you didn't get around at least 50% off the cost of the product, you got screwed. And, of course, be wary and aware of the "3rd...

Great info on Gupton, Greg. Knowing this, I'm definitely keeping Gupton in mind for the future, because I don't mind road trips, especially when the Fall colors are popping. The Jeep dealer in Crystal River used that line on me too: "When you get there, they won't give you what they said over...

What's the particulars on Gupton? Dealer fee? Addendum stickers that add paint protection and all sorts of mystical crap? How do they treat you on a trade in? Jerry Ulm in Tampa claims to be the largest seller of Gladiators in Florida. They have a dealer fee and they have addendum stickers, but...

I think this conversation is much deeper than "how comfortable the interior of the Gladiator is for long distance trips?" A big area of focus needs to be how much energy and attention you're expanding to control the Gladiator on the highway vs. a vehicle made mostly just for that, like the...

That's because it says his majesty on the hood: Mojave. :rock:

So if you put one of those heavy diesel engines in a 2-door Wrangler and jam on the brakes at a red light: Do the back wheels lift off the ground? :)

No, actually, good luck with that lawsuit fantasy. When purchasing these vehicles you agreed to arbitration, not lawsuits. You'll have better luck doing what I'm suggesting and filing thing such as BBB complaints, etc., then you will with pipe-dreams of taking them to court. What's that going...

Instead of arguing about lawsuits why don't you guys do this: If you can live without the vehicle, take it to the dealer and tell them it's un-driveable for you because of the steering hazard. Then demand the dealer take possession of it. Then let it hit the lemon law timeline in your state for...

My tech said JEEP is only giving each dealership one steering gear per week until the supply chain issues for this part get corrected.

The problem is owners are having various degrees of success. For example, I had an appointment yesterday for mine. An hour later I drove away with the new steering gear and accompanying parts on order. No hassle. No disagreements. Effortlessly, the dealer agreed to fix it. Excellent customer...

I could apply a similar analogy to the military's Humvee. I've driven Hummers in the Army that had less steering wander than this new Gladiator.

As a former mechanic, I'm shocked to see this mess too. If you apply the mindset that the mechanic's time is too valuable to clean up the vehicle afterward, then the job should have been passed to the low-wage detail guys/gals so they can steam clean the engine compartment and suspension before...

From my understanding, Jeep doesn't and isn't going to offer the diesel in the Mojave trim. I can't speak to what the reasons are, but there's surely some sort of negatives at play behind this decision. Can anyone answer why that's so?

I just got rid of a 2019 VW Golf R with the premium Fender audio. In terms of audio quality and sound performance, the $43k R blew away the Bose audio in my $70k 2019 Corvette, which I thought really sucked. We purchased the premium Alpine in our new 2020 Gladiator Mojave, and it literally blows...

Two thumbs up for this video! It really explains the differences between the Rubicon and Mojave and delves into just how beefy the Mojave is, kinda of a hybrid between the Wrangler and Ram 1500.

^^^ This!!! ^^^ This is the NUMBER ONE reason, I chose the Mojave over the Rubicon or other models. This is my wife's vehicle, but she nice enough to let me ride in it, get or keep it maintained, and pay for it. Bless her heart, but there's not a pothole anywhere she/we travel(s) that she...

Way, way ahead of you on that C8 comment, bro. That was "baked" into the transaction before leaving the house. Once GM gets their chit together on a Z06 version of the C8, the wife is gonna have less "discretionary income." I'm driving a new Recaro/BBS/Brembo Miata, in the meantime. Which...

I gave up my Corvette to buy her this Mojave toy; that was on her bucket list. Tell me again, who got roasted on this deal?

That cast iron looking thing, looks heavier than the aluminum steering gear. Gonna have to put the wife on a diet to compensate for the weight change. :headbang:
