No issues on my bare bones 21 Willy's Sport manual. Going to get rid of the aux battery / ess at some point just for peace of mind.

2021 JTR with 14k miles. No issues and I have driven it like a scalded dog on the interstate between Va. and Nc. on numerous occasions as well as off road (fire breakers etc.). This is my 4th Jeep between YJ, JKU and JK and I can say other than a catalytic converter issue in my JKU they are all still rolling with zero issues (my brother in law still has the YJ) my 21 year old son is rolling in the 09 JK.

So far so good...

Occasional Infotainment system bug, specifically the reverse camera.

Just under 21K miles on my 2020 Sport S and have only had one minor issue with the visors coming undone. Had both replaced under warranty. I’ve taken it on road trips pretty frequently and doing off-road/mild over landing without any issues. I’ve got a rattle/vibration from the driver side sound bar but most likely a blown speaker, which I’m gonna replace anyways. Still have the original steering box as well, but I’ll probably end up getting that replaced here soon, as the steering seems to get looser and looser the more miles I put on it.

(Attached are photos from my camping trip through Ocala NF last weekend with my buddies 4Xe.)

2020 SS Max. 21,000 mi. Absolutely love this truck. Zero issues other than a rock cracking my windshield and needing seat risers to make my seat more comfortable. Owned 1.6 years and I still look forward to driving it. My second Jeep but first new purchase, still have my TJ. Good luck on your choice.

2020 JT with 47,000 miles on it.
No issues from factory.
One self induced issue, replaced Track Bar to fix, all good now!
I'm 59 and other than my 1981 Pontiac Firebird Formula that I bought brand new in 1981,
this Gladiator is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned.

2021 Glad Rubi, 32,800 kms. Dead. Legal fight now.
-Engine consumes coolant @ 10 ounces per 10k oil change. Has done so from the factory. 6 Oil analyses done, all showing glycol in the oil.
-Misfire @16k kms, camshaft replacement under warranty. FCA is fine that the engine consumes coolant, says “it’s normal for coolant to be in the oil”.
-Power steering pump malfunction 8 times leaving me to Armstrong steer. Pump replaced under warranty.

-Transmission major malfunction at 32,800 kms. Oil analysis done at 24k kms shows glycol contamination from the factory and high levels of copper and iron. Transmission whine developed at about 20k kms. Owners Manual gives permission to change the oil in it “if contaminated” and also gives permission to change out the Mopar ATF oil for an “equivalent” ATF. Dealership would not flush system and cost was on me @ $3400 for two “pan drops”. I declined this amazing offer and I went to a professional transmission shop and had flush done and Chrysler code compliant AMSOIL ATF installed. 8k later, transmission blows P1B14-00 code. PARK BY WIRE, won’t come out of park. Service managers at dealership is well informed by me that I did the flush and installed AMSOIL. They want me to do two “pan drops” @$3400 to get the AMSOIL out before letting FCA know. I said NO, tell them.
District Service Manger threw the owners manual in the garbage to restrict warranty on the transmission then in the next heart beat, voided my entire drivetrain for using code compliant AMSOIL. DSM forces dealership to toss aside the owners manual and Chrysler’s rule mandates to support his own personal and political bias against me.
Lawyer involved now.
Truck was just towed back to my place mid week and the electrical system is in absolute malfunction. Dealership wants me to fix it.
There is no arbitration and especially at the federal level in Canada (CAMVAP) as Chrysler ceased to be a participating member when they became owned by FIAT, a Netherlands based company. They pissed off the wrong consumer and they have committed corporate crimes to get me here.

EDIT: I add this new thing I discovered yesterday when I crawled under. Could I possibly have more issues?! ARRRRRRRRG

2020 Sport S had 16k miles, had secondary battery issue so it was replaced. 2021 Rubicon with 2500 miles, no issues.

2021 JT HA with 3275 miles, no issues whatsoever!

5142 miles now - still no issues!

Hi 4XE.. In your post you asked: Also will 37s fit the stock rubi? And will 5th tire fit under the bed?
In reading on Forums, NO.. some did post that the KOs are short of 37" and when aired down could be made to fit.. I do know that Toyo 35s measure out at 34.5" with 25psi and it is a tight fit in the spare tire area. BTW.. Sorry to read about all your issues.. If you trade IMO I'd go 3.6L .. Diesel is offered in Rubi's .. not Mojave.

2020 Overland, took delivery July, 19, 2019. Have around 16K miles now. Only issue was a leaking rear window in the hard top. They resealed the window but couldn't get all the water out. Replacing top under warranty. Was supposed to get new top mid-January but was told now it won't be in until mid-late March.

Again, other than the top, absolutely zero mechanical issues.
