Any 2020 Gladiator Owners Still Here?

[RickF]

Loaded 2020 Rubicon at 65K miles with minor modifications: 35s on stock rims (no issues), Tazer to correct tire size and a few other cool hacks (the forced radiator fan cools things down fast when the engine runs hot), all new speakers other than subwoofer, painted grill and headlight insert red, mud flaps, Seat Jackers for a more comfortable seating position, a few other small things. I've had the battery fail twice and transmission completely replaced under warranty at 53K. Otherwise, no issues.

max tow , 40k ……hood bubbled and now the area above windshield . Visors fell. Stock except for rubi wheel swap. Original owner .

 

[Gvsukids]

Visors fell.

Drivers side fell, dealer fixed and no problems with either one since.

Yes! 2020 Rubi 64K miles... only warranty work was corrosion re-paint where steel met aluminum and a cracked water pump...

Yes still hanging out with a 2020, got it end of Jan 2020. Built right before the Max-Tow started getting a Trac-Loc rear axle. Around 92k, second windshield. No real problems, other than a bad shocks. . . Replaced with the lift kit ones. FYI for anyone getting a lift kit for a "Max-Tow" and hauling or towing. Don't expect good results from a lift kit rear springs unless you specifically get ones rated for it. 3rd set of tires, starting to look into next set. Original batteries (I've got a solar charger on them) crap now they will fail. Been using Valvoline 0w20 synthetic Mopar oil filters. Have full sets of brake pads waiting for when necessary and aluminum replacement oil cooler oil filter housing. Planning on ordering new spark plugs and coil packs. About due for oil change again, I change it somewhere around 6-8k normally.
Oh crap I forgot about the visor thing, added the clips to them in 2020 after drivers side started popping out. And the changed out steering gearbox.
Dang it's surprising the ones that have so low of mileage on here... what are they doing in a museum or storage saving them to be classic cars.

2020 sport s. 64k miles. Mostly trouble free. I snapped the e-brake cable off roading and the driver sun visor clip was replaced in 2022. Hood latches starting to paint bubble. Otherwise happy trouble free 4 years

What to look for?

What to look for?

I'm not sure what yet, the lift kit I got had Eibach coils p# RC-CS8240-JT for the rear springs. After first 100 or so miles it was riding "broke back Mtn style" aka Carolina squat. Head lights in trees, looks stupid and feels wrong. IMHO

So out with kit springs and back in stock springs w air bags and 2in spacers. a 3in spacers would be about spot on to level with front springs. Note: my JT is heavy loaded and I tow often. So my search for rear springs will be ongoing for for now. One type I've checked that might be a fix is Ram P/U rear coil springs "for potential off the shelf" option. I need to check on a few others along with other spring options for correct sprin rate, and taller air bags.
A few days ago I did haul an additional 400 lbs of concrete in bed no handling issues or sagging with air bags at 19 psi. The lower control arms are positioned about parallel to the frame. I noted with adjustable control arms (with rod ends) in rear is I do need to install a limiting strap or two, if I happen to droop the rear suspension (on a vehicle lift too) it has the capability to possibly damage or over extend drive line and other components.

BTW: No offense meant to anyone of that life choice.

About 32k on my 2020 Mojave. About 80-90 hours in the mountains of Tennesse, Kentucky and North Carolina. Other than that, back and forth to work. I've beat the heck out of it on trails and its very dependable. Except for rodents. I went to the middle east for two months. When I came back... Fuel Injector harness is eaten along with some other stuff. About $1,600 worth of Rodent bedding.

2020 Mojave 51k miles now.
-both heads replaced ~40k miles, burning coolant due to warpage both heads. I’ve taken care of it too so maybe not torqued right from factory?
After they replaced the second head this January(replaced a month apart) I’ve had a little studder when I’m feathering the throttle at about ~700rpm. More noticeable under load inching up the driveway or backing up trailer. Dealer replaced throttle body and still doing it but it hasn’t been too much of an issue so I’m waiting till the weather cools down to take it back so they can collect and send the data to mopar engineers. Besides that annoying bug remaining I still love it, just don’t like the mopar mechanics too much lol my service advisor is awesome at least.

I'm still here with my 2020 JTR. Mid 50Ks.
But I just bought mine a few months ago and just signed up recently so I guess I probably don't count as "still here" since I just arrived.

 

[XJhawk]

2020 Mojave (I ordered mine the morning they opened the order banks).
Just crested 50k, only issues have been having to delete the Aux battery and drivers side visor clip.

I have owned 30 Jeeps, and this one is by far my favorite!

 

[Mightytalldude]

Just hit 80,000 miles at the top of Engineer's Pass.

Still here...still happy.
