I dont think I have ever used low, but its got bumper to bumper warranty so will let the dealer hopefully rectify I took the video so they could see in advance of it coming as its it could be hard for them to replicate
Its a slipperly wet snow that packages, so even though there isn't much it is bad for traction, the jeep came with copper winters. driveway is 15-20 degree
Nope, happens going straight up the hill after the hairpin or starting at the bottom, anytime it feels slippage is what it feels like.
my frontier for example goes up the same hill without issue, barely know 4x4 is engaged, different systems, but very different result, keep in mind the video is...
without 4H engaged it wont make it up the driveway. its slipper slow, just not deep. no bare ground.
Again, no 4x4 vehicle i have ever owned acted like its ripping itself apart will report back from dealer they are taking it tomorrow.
So I found my gladiator to actually not be that great in the snow, infact my 2016 ram was twice the truck coming out of my driveway, but different vehicles, different benefits.
well I think there may be more to the story than it just isn't good in the snow, since it started getting worse...
Hey there, So I found it odd after owning my RAM for many years and receiving an update or 2 per year that I've NEVER had one for my gladiator in 2 years. I thought maybe because I am in Canada and its over the air or something?
I was at the dealer today and they told me there was 2-3 updates...
Add me to the list. Its horrible, even when driving in areas where there is no coverage, my 2016 ram had 0 issues unless going beside a mountain etc, the satellite radio in my gladiator is almost unusable its horrible4, between the skipping and the actual "acquiring signal" it makes no sense.
i...
So I had this done about 2 weeks ago, validated the new steering box is black, but it doesnt feel any better. now my steering is off center about an inch to the left, and there is still a large dead spot in the steering which makes it feel like its floating.
We haven't had as much snow again to really test it, but I have been manually turning off traction control before going up my driveway and in all scenarios it feels better, i can even make it up without 4wd sometimes. This thing felt like it was coming apart lugging so bad:P coming from a...
My jeep is now 6 months old and finally got its first cracked windshield i heard so much about and was dreading.
Do we have anyone with experience with the gorilla glass? is it worth the premium yet? if you cant get 2-3 years out of it given its 2x more here in canada it will be hard to justify.
Thanks all I think i will try turning off traction control next time to see, certainly cant air down my tires in my own driveway :) but I do have winter tires (factory installed so nothing fancy im sure)
So let me begin by saying I have a crap driveway, its not huge but its a hairpin turn and up maybe 3-400 feet of include. I have lived here with my ram 1500 sport for 5 years and never once did i think, man i wish i had a jeep so i could get up this driveway, it rocked it like a champ.
We just...
How do I know if I even have this issue? I have a stock gladiator overland, i mean it wanders a little compared to my ram, but that drove like a mercedes.
any tell tale ways to know? this is my first jeep
Not sure if you saw this, I am in norther canada and a little worried now :) but sounds like snow and ice build up is a real issue if this is accurate and not an isolated issue. I am waiting for the snow so I have many of the same questions as you op so thanks for the post! :)
