Any 2020 Gladiator Owners Still Here?

[GreatGladiator]

Still here and still love it. Built Oct 2019 purchased May 2020. Just hit 49k no major issues.

still here too, running strong. custom order Sept 2019, 43k miles DD. replaced battery at 18k with an odyssey, steering box TSB 10k, and leaking rear window under warranty at 13k.

Still going strong at 101,637. No real issues so far but I’m about to do major services (trans filter, spark plugs and replace water pump, not needed but I’m sure its due) So as long as I can stay off the dealer lot I should get 75-100K more.

Lord willing I'm hoping my JT can make 100k without major repair before it can retire. 200k would be phenomenal.

Still rocking my 2020 AAFES special order sport s. I ordered It while I was stationed in Qatar. I’m pretty sure it has every option that was available at the time. almost 80k and I still love it

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.

I am very curious - you mentioned the Tazer to correct for tire size and then mention forcing the cooling fan on........... are you saying you used Tazer for that?
I mention only because I ave a 2022 (I DID have a 2020 - ZERO issues, really) and I have a snow plow for it. It handles the plow fine, however, once you get out of our driveways and the path to my shop and onto the open road, over, say, about 25-30 mph, that plow causes a low pressure area ahead of the grill. A dealership service advisor and I figured out what was happening was that the low pressure area was pulling engine bay air FORWARD, causing the temp sensor in the grill area to read 90-100 degrees when it was 20 or colder out, shutting down the HVAC heat inside, and, the engine runs hotter - when it's 15-20 degrees out, with the plow on, the engine may read 220-225 degrees pretty much proving, between that and the HVAC shutting cabin heat off thinking it's 90 degrees outside when it might be 0 degrees, and the engine heat - it's indeed overcoming the fan and pulling hot air forward.
I wonder if you can control the fan speed with a Tazer while driving it - say kick that fan into high speed when driving with the snow plow mounted, maybe it would overcome that plow causing low pressure ahead of the grill.
If you don't want to contaminate this thread with my fork in the road, PM me.......... whatever.

Sorry for the really great "2020 Jeep and miles" thread - this is fantastic, and I'd still have my 2020 with over 50K miles on it but I really wanted/needed the Selec-Trac transfer case and a couple of other things so traded that wonderful reliable 2020 for my 2022.

Carry on - this thread is an interesting read.

3/2019 ordered . 7/5/19 picked up. 51K no problems. 9th jeep in 45 years and definitely my favorite.

The Tazer allows you to turn the radiator fan on its highest speed, and only its highest speed, simply by pressing two buttons on the steering wheel. There is no setting to change or configure; it's available by default. I use this feature frequently, as it will drop my running coolant temp from 215° or higher to 185° in about two minutes. Then I turn it off again until I need it again.

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.

Time to invest in a yard full of kitties, sounds like they be eating like kings.

Which two buttons? Both my Jeeps are ¨Tazed¨ and this is a great feature!

Interesting that it only works with the engine off on manual Jeeps. No biggie. My Gladiator tends to run a little warmer than my JL, anyway.

Great feature! Thanks! I knew it had this but did not know how to activate it.

I know you can also increase RPM while winching, too. Gotta look that one up, too.

I use JSCAN for that - but the downside is that you have to have the bypass cable in place, the BT adapter, and your phone handy.

On the left side of the wheel, the arrow that points right. On the right, the cruise control cancel button. It works by tricking the vehicle into thinking the transmission temperature is spiking, so you'll see that shoot up, but it isn't actually happening. Go back to the indicator for coolant temp and you'll see it drop quickly.
