Just checking to see if anyone else has had a hard time getting their Z96 recall addressed. I've been trying for 6 months now and every time the dealers (now trying multiple) have either "forgotten" to order the part, reordered the part, or told me they had the part and set up service but then...
Read the article over the weekend. The authors revealed more about their own ignorance than anything about the Gladiator. Just shameful that Motor Trend published it. An editor should have thrown the brakes on it. At the very least, there should be a follow-up to it with people who know what...
Really happy with mine. Went with a Rubicon diesel. Right now, puttering around town, I'm getting about 22-24 mpg. Longer drives (esp if I keep it below 70) I can get near 29-30. Mainly chiming in due to steering issues. My Rubicon has the newer steering knuckle and tracks well, imo. My gf has...
Just picked up my diesel Gladiator Friday. First weekend has been good. MPG isn't quite there yet, but also was doing some hard driving. Also noticed the DEF gauge dropped 1/4 tank in 600 miles.
Beyond that though..... pure love for this thing. Honestly, if I won the lotto, I'd order a second...
Almost bought a Chevy 1500 with the diesel. Feel like I dodged a bullet by test driving a Gladiator and waiting. Still haven't got mine yet (2021 diesel)... but still. Just the fit/feel of the Gladiator, on one test drive alone was enough.
A trade wouldn't make much sense. You're going to take a hit (likely) on the trade value, and the cost of getting the diesel is going to hurt. My estimate? Even with a trade, you'll get nailed for the $6k difference, plus another sales tax hit. You'll be pushing $10k for a swap if you get a...
Still haven't received my Gladiator. Eagerly looking-forward to the day the Firecracker Red Rubicon diesel is built for me. But, wanted to chime in:
How Long: Plan is to keep 20 years +. For now, it's going to be my daily driver to/from work. At some point, when the miles on her get up around...
