The diesel engine has much more character and fun factor to drive. The noise is calming and fitting to the Gladiator character. I like it a lot. I drove both and diesel wins for me. Also, great MPG and power.
We have a 5 year, 100,000 mile warranty. It's a non issue. IF if it needs repairs, it will be repaired. It's in the contract. Gas engines have a shorter warranty. Why would FCA want to lose money on warranty work if it is a bad engine? If there were truly problems with the design, the warranty...
Yup the torque is great and diesel is everywhere. In my area diesel is cheaper than regular so that's great for me. It's not just that the torque number is high, it's available from 1500rpm. The gasser's torque is 260 and at 4400rpm, like a sports car. I think my M makes its torque around that...
I drove 2018, 2019, 2020 Dodge/chrysler minivans. Journey or whatever they're called. It's also used in the Promasters and sucks even more there. The trans isn't the same as the diesel.
The 8 speed on the diesel you don't even it shifted.
I opted for the diesel because it drives a lot better. I agree with the OP, it feels more premium. The 3.6 engine and the other 8 speed trans feel like a Chrysler minivan. I hate that engine. I had many minivan rentals while traveling and they suck. The transmissions especially. Feels like a...
I have a stock Willys JT, still breaking it in at 600 miles and getting 24-25MPG highway 70-75mph and about 25mpg combined as well. I'm expecting it to loosen up and get better MPG.
You can do that but ultimately you're wasting your time with people that don't get it. You can build your own on the website. The pricing will be within $2K as the website isn't updated to 2022 configurator yet.
All options except these pre-negotiated deals here are a waste of time. Most dealers are clueless and don't want to leave money on the table. Their strategy is to find your budget. Don't fall for it. They invite you in so they can have a pressure session and bring you a bunch of different prices...

The engines are imported from Italy and transmissions from Germany. I think the diesel Gladiator is a holeshot for FCA. If you take a look at the online car retailers there isn't even a single Gladiator diesel for sale. I did not see any delays with mine. I think if you get blind spot monitoring...
Unfortunately the factory LED option is the best available in terms of color, beam pattern and light. I too just wanted to get the aftermarket option and then nixxed the original order, to get the LED option. The LED equipment available to OEMs is not available aftermarket, at low prices.
