2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys Debuts With Unique Content and Increased Capability

[02sahara]

Has anyone been able to see if it's possible to get the Alpine Audio with a Willys package? Looks like a killer model but in the online configurator there is no premium audio available which is kinda a deal breaker for me.

Looks like they took the air damns out already. Interesting

Yes, this is an option. I have it on my ordered Willys. I cannot wait for it to be delivered!

How are those tires in the rain (from current/previous owners)?

Worst tire I've ever had in rain. And I've run a LOT of tires. They also get rough and noisy over time. Basically, it's one of the worst modern mud tires ever sold and I was hoping they would disappear when the KM3 came out but for some reason Jeep keeps using these little 31" danger donuts on special editions to this day. Sigh....

Hey, look it's my JT.

Love the Willys. One day I'm going to get a set of Rubicon axel takeoffs to add the OEM lockers and the poem red switch inside the cabin.
Also currently buying the orange trim parts to give my Willys leather trim and theme the inside orange.

The Shocks are red but I don't know if they are better than stock. I would love it someone with more experience than me could figure this out.

So.. stickers and a smattering of options that are available on literally any other Gladiator?

Don't get me wrong -- I rather like the look of the Willys, but it would have been great if it would have had *something* special about it -- perhaps an option that current is only available on Rubi like the 33 tires, or even perhaps the rear e-locker instead of a posi? Anything to make it more than yet another sticker package.

100% Agree. The Willy's would have been perfect with a package that included 33" and a rear locker. Other trucks out there Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road, Ranger, Frontier have rear lockers and Jeep could have made a direct competitor. I love the capability of the Rubicon but truth be told what I'll use it for (hunting in woods or fishing back country lakes) its over kill the Willy's with a rear locker would be ideal.

Just get the mojave then. Problem solved. I wanted the willys package cause of the rims but don't want the limited slip so back to a base sport it is.

Problem is the Mojave is exactly as much as the Rubi (in some cases more), so why not get the extra hardware?

I'm kinda surprised Jeep doesn't offer something between Sport and Rubi/Moj that isn't just a tape & stripe special. There's what, like *nine* different JT models listed on the JT web configurator (nine!), but really only two that have any hardware differences. On one side, there's the Rubi/Moj, and then on the other side is everything else; basically all just Sports with different levels of cosmetics.

My point in wanting a Willy's edition to have a rear locker would be cost. The Mojave your paying Rubicon price for a rear locker and Dukes of Hazard suspension. Which was why when I was looking I went Rubicon at least your getting both lockers and a crawler transfer case. To me a Willys would be the perfect model to just do a rear locker and save a bit of money

I take it there’s no 4:10 available......
no Mac toe....???? Would be nice if it offered that. Am I correct? Or does that option become available on the willys sport?

Mine came with the Alpine premium audio system
