Impressed with my JT!

[Chadp82]

First jeep, 2023 Rubicon JT.

we spent the better part of last week on a late Colorado elk hunt. Too bad we came home empty handed.

we climbed hills, dealt with snow off road and on road. This jeep did good work. It’s stock with the stock Falken Wildpeak tires. We made it to places where others chained up. I had the chains just in case but wanted to test the tires and 4wd without it. It did great! A lot less body roll feeling than my previous truck.

Overall I was very pleased and will be doing some trails this summer too!

I am impressed with my Gladiator as well.

This is my 12th Jeep. I owned two Grand Cherokees (1995 and 2001), and nine Wranglers (eight JKs and one JL).

This JT is the best one yet.

you’ve got a lot of jeep history to compare to.
this is my first jeep and I am amazed at what this thing can do.
My wife even says it’s the best decision I’ve made in a long time.

My wife and I love our Mojave. Every time I drive it, I like it more and more.

Wanted to chime in as well. I have owned multiple Jeeps, CJs, TJs, JKs, JLs, and now the JT Mojave. I see a lot of complaints, and I am sure I will run into a problem at some point, but this is by far my favorite Jeep product. I haven't been active on the forums following my Mojave transformation because I have been running it off road, camping, hunting, and doing all the things the JT allows me to do with confidence. I love this rig.

I agree I've owned Cj's ,Yj's ,Tj's ,Jk'and Jl's still own 6 jeeps at the moment my Jt diesel is by far the best I've ever owned I bought a spare diesel and a Jlur diesel for my wife! I've owned 30 + Jeep's including 4 or 5 Cj8 Scrambers Tge Jt is the best with the diesel its awesome!!

Nice to see a positive thread!

I drove a 1976 CJ5 in high school, then a 1947 Willys CJ2A for about 15 years, then no Jeep for about 20 years (kids), now a 2023 Gladiator Rubicon.

Definitely my favorite, not all that different from the others, but I haven’t had much time to break it.

I think Imogene will be my first real Colorado mountain pass next summer. I’ll also be exploring the Wolf Creek area if anyone has any recommendations!

Sorry you came home empty-handed. But you did gain some experience with that gladiator, and that sucker is a tank in my opinion.

Absolutely! I’ve owned 4WD vehicles my whole driving life (long).
The JT has been hands down, the is the best snow performing of all!
Haven’t really figured out why… but it works!!

Well I’ve only owned three Jeeps, 98 Cherokee, 01 Wrangler and just bought a 2023 Rubicon Gladiator! I’m going to find out how well it performs in the snow, when I drive it from Western Washington to my home in Alaska, next week!

My post would be exactly this one so I will just quote you.

I’ve been impressed with my 2020 Rubi since the day I bought it, and it seems like the longer I have it the more impressed I become. You just have to stay away from this place or you might start thinking you’re crazy. . . ?

BTW, I wheel mine everyday in addition to it being my DD. . .

Had a stock Cherokee Sport in 2005 and couldn’t believe what it could climb. Two weeks into a 23 JTS and I’ve managed to survive a curb, a big mud puddle, and I went down a service ramp that woulda made my Prius cry out. I’ll update on my “off-roading” progress.

Longer wheel base?

Longer wheel base?

Yeah, but I’ve had pickup’s too.
So, I’m just chalking it up to magic ?
