Just checking to see how many 2020 Gladiator owners still with their ride.. and mileage..
2020 loaded JTR w/3.6L & auto trans. Bought used about a year ago with just under 29k miles on it for $38.5k. Currently up to ~43k miles. Almost entirely stock still. Only issues so far, back glass leak (fixed myself), sun visor supports upgraded, aux battery delete & replaced the main battery w/new H7 size battery. New air filters a couple months ago. Oil changes every 5k miles. Freaking love this thing. It's like the Scrambler I could never afford... but 10X better.

June 2020 build, picked up in Sept 2020, 27500 miles so far.
Engine replaced at 5k
Steering gear recall replaced 10k
Transmission replaced at 15k
Transfer case replaced at 20k
Rear axle shaft leak, replaced 21k
Battery dying, replaced batteries 2x, resolved with proper grounding 23k
Leaking oil, seals replaced 27k

Even with all the issues this is my favorite vehicle that I’ve owned, 4 years and I still can’t help but look back at it and smile every time I walk away from it. Won’t be getting rid of it anytime soon.
As of today you can add torque converter to this list…27550k

Still rolling on mine. picked it up 3/2020 and have put just over 50k miles on it. I don't have the original batteries. I was also able to upgrade the front axle with a UD44 after someone crashed into me a couple of years ago.

Still have my 2020 rubicon. 80k miles and still on the original batteries. I did disable the auto stop/start almost immediately with a tazer (not sure if that helps with the battery issue).

Only problems i've had are my own fault. I stripped a torx bolt in the door and had a hell of a time drilling that out, and a few bent door pins that were causing some blind spot/locking issues until I got them straitened.

2020 Overland Gator color here. Still very happy with it.
I'm retired, so mine only has 36,000 miles on it. Always kept in our garage when not driven.

Jeep Gladiator Any 2020 Gladiator Owners Still Here? IMG_7973


I bought mine in April 2020. It has about 115,000 miles on it now and rides surprisingly well for a Jeep on 40" tires. I'm still thinking about selling it for a GMC AT4X, but I don't think I'll get anywhere close to what I want for the Jeep as a trade or private sale, so I'll probably be here for the foreseeable future.

Just checking to see how many 2020 Gladiator owners still with their ride.. and mileage..
Just hit 35K miles last week. Saved it from being a grocery getter 4 months ago. I made some corrections to improve the drivability. Sitting on a 2.5" lift and Running 37/13.50's since day 1. My only issue is the software update causing the backup camera not to work. It will not update. The guy I purchased it from never did it, per the Jeep dealership. I'm taking it to an offroad center that's worked on most of the Gladiators in my area. Everything else is running great.

I am still with mine, Manufactured: Dec 2019 - Purchased: July 2, 2020 - Just hit 60,000km (37,282 mi). Still running great other then rear brakes failing due to my lack of maintenance everything is still good to go.

I don't daily it, just overlanding / off-roading over the weekend. We also tend to go a lot, like 30 times a year, or 30 weekends a year on average.
