First step, and quite frankly the only one that really counts, is for YOU to decide what you expect out of your vehicle. Be realistic with what you want vs. what you actually need. Way too many monster mall crawlers out there that look awesome and get a lot of ducks, but will never see dirt...

Cattle Dogs are not for the faint of heart or first time dog owner. There is no smarter AND hard headed breed in the world, not to mention they are fiercely protective of their human and that can cause "issues". And yet we love our Gracie (I call her the Kraken). If you say "ride in the...

You can solve that problem by buying it out of the lease yourself (they CAN'T stop you from doing that) and then selling it outright to Carvana.

Check out what Carvana will give you. They give incredible $$s for late model used vehicles. I just sold them my old (excellent condition) 2012 JKU with 70k miles on it for $9,000 more than what ANY dealer offered me for the vehicle. I was getting a 2022 Gladiator and the dealer was dying to...

I'm a heavy user of Apple CarPlay (and technology in general) and the controls built into my Gladiator, and it makes my personal and professional life MUCH easier. I look for music/entertainment, directions, answer emails, text messages etc. all using voice commands or built in controls in the...

Every bit helps. In London where the price of fuel (gas or diesel) is about 2X the USA prices, no one I know turns it off.

I work for a European company and have spent a lot of time across the pond. It's pretty much a standard feature on all my friends cars. Most drive German cars and I don't know one person that turns it off ever. It was a little disconcerting the first time I experienced it years ago. Now it's...

I've rented a lot of cars with ESS over the years, but the Gladiator is the first one I've owned with this feature so I had no clue. It was fun finding out how to manipulate at will.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

Yeah I kind'a struggled on how to write it up. It's not the kind of thing one explains very often. my wife only really got it after I showed her.

Oh good, not just me... It was actually fun getting the "touch" to do it on command.

I've always had a very light touch with my brakes and my factory brakes usually last me for many years. With every vehicle I've owned when I bring them in for factory services I'm always asking the shop when I will need new brakes and they keep saying "not yet". I've run many new cars to 6...

For what it's worth, I've owned a 2004 Rubicon, a 2006 Rocky Mountain Edition and a 2012 JKU, all of them lifted with oversized tires. I now own a JT Overland with the regular LT road factory tires and I Iive in the mountains and spend a LOT of time outdoors. I'm a hiker, hunter, fisherman and...

Oh absolutely! Under the back seat of my Gladiator there are 2 days of food in the form of energy bars and such. Also a few high calorie/high fat snack like Chunky bars. I have a 1 gallon Yeti full of water, 500’ of high quality parachord, good quality emergency Mylar blankets, a high end...

It’s consistently rated a top 4x4 by anyone in the know that I trust. She’s been through a bunch of 4WD vehicles including a Lincoln Navigator and a H2 (rather capable off road vehicle given a wide enough trail) so she’s no stranger to the type of vehicles and after a few test drives on the GV...

And don't go so far into places that you can't walk out of the same day... You WILL get stuck someday and spending time alone, unprepared in the woods, sucks.

I live in your state and have been all over Uwharrie and the Smokies and my advice to you is don't overthink this. Unless you're doing something silly (Jeeps in general can take you to places where you DO NOT belong, and they WILL kill you if you're stupid), your Jeep the way it comes out of...

I know the OP question has been settled but I thought I'd give my .02(US) for others that might be facing the same decision reading this thread. I'm a VERY happy '22 Overland owner and when deciding which model I wanted I had to recognize that my Gladiator is my one and only vehicle and as such...

POS Gorilla Glass lasted a few weeks on my new ‘22 before a small pebble cracked it. Mopar warranty is useless too.

My experience with GG and Jeep warranty is posted in several places here. Mirrors the MANY posted here and a bunch of other places in the internet. Easy to find and understand why Jeep has retired the option. GG glass is junk. So is their glass “protector” they sell for smart phones. Good...
