2026 Gladiator Mojave

[DubyaBee76]

Hello Everyone, Hope this post finds you doing well.
Let me start with some background;
I've been a Jeep guy for nearly 45 years.
My first jeep was a '93 YJ with an iron 4. I drove the snot outta him for over 20 years. Nearing the end of his life, I bought a '12 JKU. After building Boney II into an impressive slickrock crawler his 2012 3.6L ate itself at 80k miles at the 4 year mark... CRAP. Then I transitioned into a '24 Willys 4xe, (I live in New York State)where the battery pack would constantly put me into FORM...I hated it.
Presently, I'm leasing a '26 Gladiator Mojave. I believe the 3.6L is currently into its 6th generation... so engine bugs should be gone, but now I'm dealing with connectivity issues between my cellphone & u-connect.
I've had Gumby since mid-May and I've just completed 1k miles on him. In 500miles I'll be doing the oil change from factory fluids to amsoil Lubricants. I've added a bunch of aftermarket items to make life better in Gumby, but I'm pretty certain I'll be making an appointment with my dealership to figure out my connectivity issues.

I have a 25 Mojave and a 24 Ram 3500 and I do not use Bluetooth on either one. UConnect Bluetooth is straight ass, disconnects/reconnects when it wants to, and no amount of resetting fixes the issue on either vehicle. I use a USB-C cable in both vehicles and have no Issues keeping CarPlay going. It sucks, but that’s all I’ve found that works consistently. I reset both radios and have ZERO phones paired with the vehicles.

In some angles of light it looks steel gray in more direct sunlight it has a lite blue hue.
Thanks for noticing. It's definitely unique.

Beautiful color and great pick on the trim package.

I completely agree. I am, however, slightly biased.

I tried dumping the Bluetooth(bt), but the Jt keeps trying to reconnect using bt even when I'm jacked in with the hardwired usb-c. the infotainment system worked better before jeep systems started insisting on using bt... my '24 had this bug also.... my '12 didn't use bt, so no issues with that... lol.

I had to reset the radios to factory settings and remove the Bluetooth pairing manually from the phone. The first time I plugged in I told the radio No to pairing via BT and turned the BT function off on the phone. It never tried again, even with the BT function of the phone left on.
