Got it on my Birthday November 2020 and still loving it. Only wish I had waited for my local dealer to have a White Rubicon in stock.
I almost got white, but went with a Stingray. Great bday present ?

I'm only 8 mos/5000 miles in but keep finding more reasons to love it. I loved my JKU before it (after all my mods) and while so much of the changes feel incremental, there are enough of them that I love this truck so much more. The only complaint i've had is that I feel obligated to upgrade suspension because out of the box is so "unfun" to drive. But with my new shocks this drives like a dream. I look forward to more aftermarket stuff (I still want an aluminum rack that'll fit over the softtopper.)

I am about to hit 6 months with my Gladiator. I do still love it.

With my JK and JL, I always felt something was missing, the JT filled that gap. Love having a truck bed again and use a lot more than I expected.

The only regret I have is that my High Altitude model only has a 900lb payload. If I do decide to start towing more often, I will probably trade for another JT with more capacity.

In today’s trade in environment you might achieve that goal. I did.

I already had one trade offer from a local dealer for $4K over what I paid for my High Altitude. There just aren't any Gladiators configured the way I want within a few hundred miles and I am concerned on the lead times of a custom order with the shortages people have mentioned.

I've had an Overland for a year and it's great. But I just swapped my lease for it for a Rubicon Gladiator. Pick it up in 2 weeks. Looking for to it!

After owning the Gladiator for almost 2 years, I still have no complaints with it. Sure, it’s had some things that came up but none of them really changed my mind about owning one. I love this truck and was just curious if there are other’s who feel just as positive about their Gladiator as I do.

Can’t wait for its continued evolution.
June 2020 and 20,000+ miles. Still love it!

Keep looking! You’ll find it.

Yah I feel like it's a love it or hate it, or even just conditional liking it. My favorite part is that i can easily remove it or collapse it if I need more clearance to fit a thing in the back. I can still easily put it back up. I like the RSI Smart Cap and sometimes think I'd rather have that... but I REALLY like the low weight and flexibility. At the end of the day, for me, flexibility is the most important thing when I do any additions.
