Longest road trip you've taken in your Gladiator?

[Gvsukids]

I’ve heard that, but I’d lose some real estate above my head (I’m tall).

Just thought I’d throw that out there, as it’s a common complaint in reviews (whether that’s a reasonable complaint or not is probably open to debate).

Headliners stick to the hard top. I can't imagine you are hitting that already?

twice per year I drive from Central Illinois to Northern MN. 665 miles each way. it is fine.. not as comfy as an F150... but it works.

About 2,300 miles round trip. Beats the shit show the airlines serve up.

Travel for work regularly - North Georgia to Central Florida 450 miles all backroads, the jeep is very comfortable. No issues, top up or down. Need figure a way to carry my doors in the back for those exceptionally nice days...
Like @Roklimo said - beats the airlines!!

640mi each way, non-stop 2021 JTR Diesel. Maryland to Maine. Does pretty well.

Nope. I’ve got plenty of headroom at the moment.

Last August/September we drove from Modesto, CA to Deadhorse Alaska. It was over 8,000 miles. The Gladiator never disappointed. This summer we are talking about making a run to the Artic Ocean in Tuktoyaktuk, Canada.

Sounds like a fun trip. I think I've seen your truck around, I live in Ripon, we are finally taking our truck and travel trailer out of state in a couple weeks.

880 miles, 14 hours GA to WI. I have no issue with comfort in the Mojave w/ 35's. I like having the option to remove the top on beautiful days. A few hours of sunshine and wind feel great.

I've done this trip 5 times and 4 trips Ga to Columbus, OH

West Chester, PA to Grayling, MI. 755 miles one way.

Got decent mileage...averaged around 26 mpg the whole trip. It was 12 1/2 hours each way. Wife drove a couple of hours across Ohio, out and again on the way back.

My Overland is very comfortable. Being Spring/Summer, I have the SunRider top installed but, didn't open it on the interstate (especially in OH an MI as it was POURING heavily ).

I truly like the ride of my Overland. To me, seat comfort and ride are better than my '19 GC Ltd. We have also done several runs from West Chester, PA to Raleigh, NC (390 miles one way) in both vehicles. Again, I find my Overland more comfortable but, the GC gets 1 mpg more than my Gladiator. Aerodynamics, ya know

Halfway through our trip currently. 1200 miles and counting.

I've been looking at larger gas tanks to extend the range. I'm so used to 500+ miles between fuel stops I think that 22 gallon tank is going to be an irritant/limit. There are options, but man are they high dollar. I'm actually a bit suprised there isn't an OEM optional larger tank given the focus on overlanding.

The Mojave is my favorite Gladiator I've driven so far. If my overtime stays steady, I should be able to pay cash for a new one by early next Spring.

Sacramento to Houston 1900 miles when I moved 3 weeks ago did it in 2 days and 6 hours. No issues and the truck was weighted down with a lot of ammo and ran great but the back end was low

SO far 750 miles to Key West pulling my boat. Next year 1750 miles to Tucson a week out then back. That's going to be fun.

Overall trip was Queen Creek AZ to 1 hour on dirt past Warren, ID

Longest trip on the way back was from the cabin all the way to Beaver, ID, maybe 13 hours? Pre-lift but on 35s, no problems at all.

9 months later we went to Moab and my right hamstring got tired but that could have been due to some of the hiking we did there

At the end of the day, my wife's SUV is more comfortable, but its not like driving a tractor or an old Jeep or something. I would have no problems driving my JT just as far as any vehicle

Granted, this is all with the top and doors on- driving like that wears on you

24 hours (w gas stops) Rangley, Maine to Nashville, TN.
Other than almost getting robbed at a gas station 23 hours in, I had no complaints
