I agree with you. I'd say further that my Gladiator has 63,000 miles on it and is 6 years old, so Jeep did in fact hold up their end of the deal (5yr 60k miles)... but it can't hurt. I love my Gladiator regardless. So, new engine it is!

Well, I need a new engine because of the junk cam follower part FCA used. It has been long enough that now there is a class action lawsuit against FCA for this exact issue. So, I am going to replace my 3.6 with a remanufactured engine and sign up for the class action. I advise everyone in my...

What city/town in Colorado?

I really like the standard model(s) look. Odd but the few tweaks on the Raptor make it far less attractive IMO. Grill and all fenders have too much shape / stick out too far. Look like a bucked tooth version of the others. Overall though they definitely look more like a truck than the current...

I do not know your situation BUT if it were me I would leave it at my brother's (or dad's) house (granted they have room) and have them drive it sparingly (like once a week). You'll regret selling it. Storing it is a PITA. If they drove it 20 miles per week, that's only 1040 miles per year...

Colorado - real property tax effective rate is very low (2nd or 3rd lowest in the nation)... but yeah our auto tax is insane. My sticker was $40k and I paid $33k. I think the first tax and registration I paid was $2,200. Three years later and I still paid $910 ?

That is unbelievable! Do you live on the beach or something? Here is Colorado, on windshield #3 and the current gorilla glass one has been busted for probably 6 months...

As sits, list at $45k (will be a tough sell because of the competition at that price point). As stated previously, I would recommend pulling most off the extra goods and then listing at $40K (leave wheels/tires/leveling kit on). If I were near you I would be very interested in your ARB bumper...

Excellent synopsis. I will note your intuition on the 4:10 gears is correct. I drove about 10 Gladiators before I purchased and my God, the difference between the 3.73 and the 4.10 is stunning IMO. I thought the 3.73 gearing was dogshit. 4.10 just hums along, no racecar but plenty of oomph!

The 2023 Chevy Colorado Is More Truck For Not Much More Money (motortrend.com) Apples to oranges. Max tow at 7700 vs 6000, is that MORE truck? Top can't come off. Doors can't come off. Looks nothing like a traditional off road vehicle (Jeeps, Broncos, Samuri, Scout, FJ, etc). Little 30" tires...

Don't second guess yourself. Consider the options you want personally and make the decision based on your research. Where you live AND how far you're willing to drive will also significantly affect the price you pay. In late 2020 I researched and it really wasn't close then. Bought a new max...

I have noticed that you are far more likely to get a response during warm weather with tops off. Also, apologies to anyone who has waved that I missed! I really try to wave OR return wave to every Jeep I pass. Admittedly sometimes I am yelling at the kids, dogs, etc... lol

I'm on the opposite end of you in a sense that I've typically had both ('fast' car and a Jeep) and never thought the performance was as fun as a Jeep (particularly a soft top 2 door wrangler #OMF-heaven). I've owned a Porsche Cayman S, BMW 335d (twin turbo diesel), Turbo Audi TT and we currently...

Five (2020 Gladiator, 2016 JKU, 2005 Liberty, 2000 TJ, 1988 YJ). Loved 4 of the 5 (wasn't crazy about the Liberty).

I can only speak for myself but I don't feel niche. If the Gladiator didn't exist I would be driving a Ford F150 OR Ranger (and be miserable doing so. 1 is too small, 1 is too big. Neither are "fun" or "inspiring"). I want a 2 door JL, but with trailers (work and a camper), 2 labs, 2 kids... it...

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...

Feel the same, on your altitude comment - I live at 7525' and have had my rig as high as 13,000'. Never noticed a difference from there all the way down to sea level. For reference I'm running stock wheels with 35" tires, 4:10 gears (max tow), hard top and aluminum ARE topper. No race car, but...

25K miles on my 2020 Max Tow with 0 issues [knock on wood]. I will go for my 6th Jeep in 11 short years (when my 5 yo turns 16 he'll receive Geralt as his first car]. Sorry about your bad luck but I will admit 2 of my previous Jeeps were nightmares. All electrical nightmares on loaded out Jeep...

I don't have a pic of us camping... but here's a few of my topper when I first put it on (from a 2005 Tacoma - modified slightly to fit on my Jeep) and the couch bed in the back. The car extension tent I just got off of Amazon. There are hundred of them and I just picked a combination of...

RTTs are ridiculous IMO. If they were $500 maybe? But as is it seems like a "I look cool" thing... for that price you can find used truck campers. My wife hates sleeping on the ground too so we don't tent camp. I got a topper ($400), rainfly tent/off bed extension ($80) and nice couch bed ($60)...
