  1. Travel trailer recommendations

    I’ll second @Aceman8772 with the jayco, they’re good quality for the money and light. My first camper was a forest river wolf pup that had a ridiculous amount of interior space for just two people. Enough that it was adequate for my wife and I as well as our two children and two dogs for our...
  2. So max towing or not.

    as with all Jeeps… “they are like a box of chocolates… you never know what you are going to get” mine is an early JT 2020 Max Tow purchased October 2019. Mine does have the limited slip… yes I know how to check for one. Plus it must have been built on a good work day, 70,000+ miles so far and...
  3. Halogen Headlights are terrible

    Make sure they are adjusted right. My 2020 Overland and current 2021 80th Anniversary were both adjusted waaaaaaaaay too high. After adjusting them down no problems at all. Wife had 2017 JKU, same for it, aimed waaaaay too high.
  4. Any Full-Size Converts?

    Nope. I told them “this is an 80,000 dollar truck with a warranty, no.” They got all pissy saying “well you’re the customer if that’s what makes you happy then fine,” but they did it. Very condescending. It was an alignment tab on the exhaust. It was just flat out missing so it was just a...
  5. 3.6L Pentastar V6 Engine Failure

    Thanks for your feedback, it seems my life lately is full of bad luck!
  6. 3.6L Pentastar V6 Engine Failure

    Esh! I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck (as our histories align but experiences do not). I am on Jeep #5. Two of which had the 3.6 Pentastar. My 2020 JT only has 32,000 miles on it right now, but no back up camera, dash lights, battery, OR any problems honestly. No recalls. Nothing. IF I had...
  7. How reliable has your gladiator been?

    2020 Sport S with almost 30,000 miles. Fixed the steering TSB and air conditioning TSB with no problems afterward. There's a pesky little crunch sound on some bumps at low speed when it's cold outside that they're supposed to be looking at again next week, but other than that it's great...
  8. Thinking of buying a Gladiator

    2020 JTR here. Took a bit to get used to it. Drove off the lot with the dealership setting the PSI to 41 on OEM MTs, and it felt like I was ice skating on the road. Stopped at the next local gas station, bought a cheap gauge and lowered the pressure to 37; much, much better handling. Drove the...
  9. Engine Pinging/Detonation

    If that's the one I think it is - it's only for high miles engines with carbon build-up due to a problematic PCV. It wouldn't be a problem until you had a lot of miles on it - well over 50,000+ The techs should still review the TSB and check for a problem PCV as oil in the charge can cause...
  10. Reliability concerns

    There's 2 or 3 threads with dozens of pages where many people are talking "no problems". My 2020 was truly trouble-free once they replaced the tonneau cover (not a Jeep problem). My 2022 had a weird misfire issue under very very specific conditions and circumstances - dealer seems to have...
  11. My 2020 gladiator sucks !! Its in the shop more than I drive it ! Software issues , 6 times back to shop

    You never know why any used car is for sale. Could be they dumped a lemon on Carvana, or it could be like in my case, I simply wanted to start over and have a couple of other options in a new one - one of them an option that can't be added at a later time. Who-ever gets my 2020 will get a nice...
  12. oil filter housing breakage

    Question - don't take this wrong, please- are the part numbers the same 2014 to 2020, for example? I see a couple of members had mentioned a different o-ring Just in general, not pointed at/aimed at anyone - I'm just going to toss stuff out, food for thought or totally ignore it, or take it...
  13. Nothing but problems

    all seems to be related to the lockout for the start/ gear position…. Can’t start without foot on the brake, can’t put in gear without foot on the brake. Problem when it gets cold and connections loosen up. check that all fuses are seated. Check that connection at brake switch is not loose...
  14. Worn out shocks already?

    I forgot to add that the effect that caused the cupping as described and pictured by Ford Motor Company in the post above can also result in a slightly different pattern, but similar, depending on the tire compounds and other factors - a sort of saw-tooth pattern along the same outer treads that...
  15. Any Full-Size Converts?

    You've got to be kidding!?!? If it was a pipe, why not weld or braze it? A screw and some sealant? That's asking for more trouble. Try blaming the newer standards for sulfur and emissions...... it's not the fault of the refiners they are forced to do more, deeper refining at much greater...
  16. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Today was the big day for the last of my upgrade push to be ready for Overland Expo West!!!! First thing I had to do was pull the hardtop. I had already lined it with Boom Mat a week or so ago in preparation for the CoverKing Topliner: After a little cutting and shaping and massaging...
  17. Car and Driver has posted a 10,000 mile update to their long term Gladiator review. Pretty negative

    They switched to the new number for the 2021 model year. Can't see 'em going backwards for the 2022 model year and then have to switch them all out. Not all of the original steering gear actually caused problems. It was a fair number, but there are owners of the 2020 model year Gladiator that...
  18. SOOO Done with this truck

    I disagree ... I do not feel that peoples intent is to rub anything in ... I'm certain most are sympathetic and are only stating that not all Jeeps are piles of crap. Unfortunately this is the world we live in ... all vehicles across manufactures are over engineered, overloaded with tech, ran by...
  19. Zero Issues with Gladiator?

    They are tossing supply chain issues in there? What's that got to do with it? You either have the parts or you do not. You schedule the build because you have the parts, or you delay the build because you do not. That won't impact quality - so you wait for a part! The issue is the people...
  20. Cheaper option to disable ESS

    I was home for the holidays last week. I drove my 2020 Gladiator once. I didn't drive my 2020 Wrangler for several days. After jumping aboard on this thread yesterday, I got them both out on the road yesterday. The stop/start wouldn't work on either one. On one of them, the stop start...
