How reliable has your gladiator been?

[fun2drum]

2020 Sport S with almost 30,000 miles. Fixed the steering TSB and air conditioning TSB with no problems afterward. There's a pesky little crunch sound on some bumps at low speed when it's cold outside that they're supposed to be looking at again next week, but other than that it's great. It's my favorite vehicle yet (I've had a lot) and my wife of almost 30 years says she likes it better than anything I've ever had. I would definitely buy it all over again.

2 years, 23,000 miles and zero mechanical issues. Had a bad relay that fried my fuse board, but totally warrantied.

Coming up on almost 50K, just a few months ago I had to have the stabilizer replaced when I started having some front in shimmy. That is the only issue. Still have the original 2019 aluminum steering box. No lift, all original Sport S with max tow.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Max Tow, 37's will fit but it's tight. Also mine has had zero issues other than the 3rd brake light went out and was replaced under warranty. I had the TSB done on the steering box as well but mine always fine at the time but I figured might as well get it done. Steel over aluminum just made sense. 45,500 miles on it now. 18,000 miles on 35's and 27,000 miles on 37's. I've been pleased.

Do you have the 3.0 or 3.6?

3.6

Assuming you’re running the stock 4.10s, any noticeable decrease in performance moving from the 35s to the 37s?

Dropped from 18.7 Mpgs to 17.2 Mpgs but it still feels like it's got plenty of power. Have zero issue getting on and off the freeway and passing or taking off. I'm running a lighter 37 12.5 17 Kanati Trail Hogs. They weigh 72lbs a piece. I ran a set of the Goodyear kevlar MTRs in 37 12.5 17 before the Kanatis, they were 75lbs a piece. BFG KO2S in 315 70 17 before those and they were 63lbs a piece. Here's videos showing me on the interstate with both 37's

Nice ride

2021 Rubicon with just under 12000 miles. Not one single issue. My favorite vehicle to date.
We had a 4xE briefly as well. We understand. We kept ours 14 days. It was the first time I was happy to see a Jeep go.

20k on the clock, JTRD with no problems

 

[Mojave2021]

2021 Mojave. Main issue was a right rear axle leak that took 4x to repair finally. Auto Transmission sporadically doesn’t want to shift into drive from reverse in my sloped driveway. CarPlay doesn’t work very well so I never use it. Still really have enjoyed owning it.

2021 base Sport, I'm about to click 21k on the odometer without a hiccup. Been a great vehicle. It's my first Jeep and I love it!

Hey guys, I have a 2021 jeep wrangler 4xe rubicon. It has been a nightmare of a vehicle for me... I actually mean terrible nightmare.. been towed 5 times now in total. Been told it needs a new battery pack (hybird battery) which will take 5-6months to arrive and another month to install could be longer because they will have to bring in a hybird tech specialist to work on it... anyways they finally offered me a good trade in for my vehicle (no lemon laws in canada) I was just wondering how reliable has the gladiator been for you guys, also please tell me how many kms or mileage you have put on the gladiator. I do alot of overlanding and I quite honestly love the the wranglers/gladiators interior. At this I just want a vehicle that won't give me headaches and will start everyday (my 4xe won't start in the cold -10, saying service hybird system, service charging system) I've yest drove 2 gladiators, 1 Mojave, and one rubicon, and I'm leaning on the rubi for both locking diffs. Also will 37s fit the stock rubi? And will 5th tire fit under the bed? (They are ko2s). Anyways I've test driven 4runners off road, not a trd (can't find one) chevy colarado zr2, Nissan frontier profx4. Ranger, bronco etc. And I do have say I overall just like the jeeps much more. So please input on your reliability with your gladiators
Also I'll attach the gladiator I'm looking to buy !
Also tried that 4runner (didn't like it since it was the 2019, without any safety features nor apple car play ?
I'll also attach my love (my 4xe) I honestly love the jeep, it was great I'm the summer running on eletric mode but like I have stressed not reliable at all, I was stuck in -25 weather waiting for the tow truck to come and it took the tow q hour to get to me in that freezing weather

2020 Jeep Gladiator overland purchased new 9 miles on the odometer, 32k later, regular oil changes and tire rotation as required - Zero issues. Satisfied customer
