2 years and 30,000 miles, I like this truck so much that I just ordered a new one. My only dislikes are the top and doors, so I take them off as much as possible.

At 17,000 miles. Besides a few quality issues I feel Jeep could easily have fixed before releasing. As i mod and improve it i'm loving it more all over again. Radio and it's OEM replacements drove me mad for awhile but looking forward to tossing the horrendous base 5' and upgrading to something nicer. Once my PRP seat covers come it it's going to look great.

Great attitude! Just get it fixed and move on. Never seen anything in my life that couldn’t be fixed. Question always was…….What was my attitude gonna be to do it.

Took delivery in June 2019. Launch Edition truck and the ordering, build time, and delivery were all very positive. I owned two Wrangler Saharas in the 90s, the second I bought new. That experience was not a positive one so I hadn't even considered a Jeep since.

I was shopping full size trucks. Roush F250, Raptor, Power Wagon, I looked at pretty much everything before the Gladiator was announced.

Made the decision to order it, knowing there would be things I don't love, and I have been far more impressed than I expected to be. It's comfortable, has presence, I appreciate the styling, really like it lifted with 35s. The tech is solid without being overbearing. The engine is mediocre, but I knew this going in. I can force some water in with the pressure water, but no major leaks. The drive shaft recall impacted mine, otherwise it's been 17k problem free miles. I installed Steer Smarts front end, but the wander and play has gotten worse. Plan to do the TSB.

All vehicles have issues. I don't love Jeep service departments, so that makes resolving issues more challenging.

On the whole, it's unique. Has character. Nothing else in the truck market like it. Not without it's flaws. If forced to replace it though, I would at least try the TRX.

Great viewpoint.

13 months, 23,000 miles, and I still can't stop staring and talking about it. It's almost an obsession. I look forward to every camping trip, every wheeling trip with my girlfriend and/or son, every time I take the dogs for a ride, every sunny topless day, and every snowy day where I might get the chance to help pull someone out of a ditch. I've owned over 30 vehicles, and this is by far my favorite.

I’ve become a klinger. I wanna know where it is at all times, stalk it in the driveway and demand it spends all its time with me. That’s obsessed ? hahahaha!

17 months or 36100 miles worth. I still get a smile when I look at it. Building memories with it.

This is how my other car feels when I look at my Gladiator.

I have owned mine for 3 months, haven't wheeled it yet, but yes still love it. Like taking my Jeep whenever we go anywhere because I love driving it so.

I've only had mine for 5 weeks, but I literally go outside and just look at it daily. Makes me smile every time.

Just hit my 1941 mark. So here are my thoughts so far. First I do love the looks and functionality for the Gladiator. I knew I was purchasing a Jeep first and foremost and then a truck second. So it fits what I wanted in a vehicle. My only complaints so far have been the steering issues. On the several hour drive home from the dealership I was all over the road. Once home started reading up on this forum and have mostly taken care of the issue. The rest are annoying issues like CarPlay is basically useless due to constant disconnecting and freezing. (Yes I am using a brand new Apple cable purchased from the Apple store), if anyone has a true solution to this please let me know. Overall I’m happy I made the purchase and plan on keeping for several years.

I still love it big time. I’m 3 months in and through almost 8k miles. Thank goodness my commute is about to drop BIG TIME to 22 miles round trip.

I just hand-washed it for the first time today…wheels, waxing, tire shine, etc. I’ll probably never do that again in Texas summer heat, but she sure looks good all dressed up!

1 year exactly. 8500 miles. Not one issue.

Coming up on 8 months and 11,500 miles on it and still drive it with a big smile just like the day I drove it brand new out of the dealership parking lot. I absolutely love this Rig. I’ve had a Ford Sportstrac (236,000 miles)and a GMC Canyon (134,000 miles)in the past and they don’t compare to the JT. The way it drives, the feel of it, and all the compliments that I get. I’m planning to drive this Rig till it stops running and hoping to get lots of miles on it.

Thank you for your service!

Thank You, 25-1/2 years retired in 2004 was glad to get out of Law enforcement!

I've had mine for a year now. As long as I don't tow anything with it I really enjoy driving it. Overall I'm still very happy with it.
