Gladiator Farout Edition

The outlet would be handy.

Outlet is easy to add. I added it to mine.

Am I too greedy if I want an outlet, usb port, and cigarette lighter style port? And an on/off switch to allow power when the car is off?

In our family we have 3 Jeep eco’s
2/3 have had oil leaks. Valve cover gaskets, timing chain gaskets, cam shaft sensors…. All little things and not a big deal. What is an extreme annoyance is the lack of qualified techs to work on these things…. We have 3 dealers within a 50mi radius. One has a qualified tech….. the other two cannot do anything more than the basics of an oil change (which they make a mess of….) not to mention it’s 2024 and still experiencing no eta back orders on parts.

so we will see how long they last with lack of support.

To add to the OP’s topic- sarge green fully loaded far out parks here. Ordered the second day they were released delivered mid December. Only option it doesn’t have is the select track. Currently waiting new rocker arms that the techs broke when cranking after replacing cam position sensor that was faulty and leaking. (again- no eta on parts….)

Sorry to hear. No issues with and some people I know have 100k already no issues.

We do a lot of preventative work and On FB we are in a group researching the best oils and services to prolong life. I work on the truck my self and lucky to have a lift at home. Your right, good luck finding a good tech. Horror stories once they touch it, never the same. That is one reason why I work on it. I take my time and do mint clean work. BTW a guy named Tylor in our group at 500k+ Miles on a Gen 2 engine. Original engine and trans but we share a wealth of info and research on maxing reliability.

That would be vary handy. I have a goal zero which I been using which does all that and use the bed plug to charge it if need be.

wow, that’s crazy. I’ve had three eco gladiators…still own two of them. I haven’t had any major issues at all. (yet) lol
I traded one of the gladiators (work truck) for a 4xe Wrangler. The electric isn’t a bad powertrain, but the diesel is my favorite by far.

Just traded the 4xe for another diesel gladiator for work. The 4xe is so complex, there is too many potential points of failure. Not saying I would never go back to electric, but it will be after they have been out for 10+ years. Crazy that the eco diesel has been more reliable than the 4xe.
