How reliable has your gladiator been?

[The Welsh Griffin]

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.

Having gutted the spare tire parts underneath , I seem to be thinking that maybe the spare 37 would fit if the protective should from rear passenger tire side was removed ? I'm at work and cant look right now.

21 Mojave gas, auto. Got everything but Gorilla, Selec-Trac and ashtray. 1600 mi. No problems. Great ride. It's really quiet and comfortable. Love this truck.

I have a 37" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT underneath my gladiator with factory protection stuff still there. With 35 psi it fits fine

I got my 2020 JTR in October of 2019. It has almost 29k miles and all I have done is change engine and diff oil. I just cracked my second windshield but that isn't a mechanical issue. I have not done the steering because it drives great, don't want to mess with it. My only complaint is the HVAC. Sorry but if I am in manual and set it to 72 it shouldn't blow air hotter than the surface of the sun. But they say that is how it works. Doesn't work like that in any other vehicle but ok. Otherwise I have been really happy with it.

I have the same issue...ever since new (delivered July 19, 2019). I was told that the temperature sensor (by your right knee in the lower dash) doesn't register cabin temperature fast enough to compensate. I never run my HVAC in auto mode, yet it will still blow very hot even with the temp set at 69* until the sensor warms up and realizes the cabin temp now matches the setting. I did ask if a better fan could be used to flow air across that sensor but the answer was, "No." It is what it is.

I have always used the a/c in AUTO and have no issues or complaints. It works as advertised.

Had 30000 on my 2020 sport 6 speed. Only issue was a leaking shock, fixed under warranty. Traded for a 2021, wanted more options, and now at 3000 miles, no issues.

8.5k in and I've had leaking axle seal, parking break has started to let out a violent clunk when released, constant whine has started at idle, and it recently started making a tapping noise from the bottom end. Can't stop loving this thing tho.

I have a 21 JTR and a 21 Overland. The JTR has just over 5K miles and the Overland has just over 3.5K miles. With so little mileage, nothing to report so far. I am pretty happy with the JTR (I traded a 21 Tacoma TRD Pro), The wife loves her Overland (and she came over from a 19 4Runner Limited). She took it out on day 1 and "desert pinstriped" it in the creosote.

Have you tried Auto?

Sorry you took the time for Pedro’s that place is in some serious need for updates

One year and over 30k on my 21 JTM and no issues other than a cold weather creaking noise in the suspension. Love this machine!

2020 JTR purchased in October 2019. I have just over 52k miles on it now including a few cross country trips and some mild off-roading. I replaced both batteries pretty early on. I’m not one to replace junk with junk, warranty or not so I just replaced those myself since the cost was releatively low even going with an Odyssey battery. The fuel pump died at 41k miles stranding me 500 miles from home. Jeep Cares was a huge help during that issue and FCA warrantied the repair despite me being beyond the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty. My hard top rear window is also leaking but being out of warranty I have developed a DIY strategy to deal with that.

Those issues aside, I love my Jeep truck.

11,000+ miles on my Sport-S and no issues at all. I've read that the Jeeps are not winter vehicles, but I would beg to differ. In fact, I think winter is where some of the upgrades really shine, like the seat warmers and steering wheel warmer. I love driving the Gladiator in wintertime.
