My Views on my Gladiator as its Warranty Expires

[FLGladiator]

I bought mine a month after you right off the lot, a deal I couldn't refuse with the c-19 employee pricing and incredible trade prices. I racked up 15k miles in 3 years. Same scenario, a few things like the TSB and rear main seal. otherwise have been happy. My first Jeep no complaints.

I agree... You need to get in contact with Tom Winkels as was posted in the above link. He was very responsive, straight forward and hands down the lowest price by a good margin. I bought a 8 yr/85k option with around 4k miles on the odometer. I comparison shopped with 3 other places and Tom beat them by a good amount and still offers the genuine MOPAR warranty.

Your mileage may vary, but the price does increase depending on how many miles you have at the time.

Hopefully I'll never need to use it, but I figure with all the new tech, it is a small price for piece of mind.

Greetings fellow Gladiators,

The warranty on my 2020 Gladiator Sport expired 7/14 and I thought I'd share my views on the vehicle. I love it. So far it's been a very dependable vehicle.

I went to Jeep.com the first week in July of 2020 and built myself a Sport and the 15th, I took possession. I didn't need all the bells and whistles. I checked off 13 options and found a Jeep with 11 of the 13. The only options I didn't get were the better speaker system and the spray-in bedliner. It is a no power windows or lock truck. It has the 5 inch radio. The upgrades were bolt-on. Gladiator rock rails, shorty antenna, air deflector, Rough Ridge soft folding top, Dee Zee rubber box liner and Dee Zee tail gate cover. The wheels are off my 2016 Wrangler. Just put new Coopers on it and wanted the wheels to put on the Gladiator because it came with black stamped steel wheels.

The time ran out before the mileage. I currently have 18k and some change on the clock. Had one recall, a misfire download, and one warranty claim, the back window leaking. Other than that, the truck has been flawless. Longest trip was to KC and I got 25 mpg. Suspension is stock and I scored 1 duck. Oil change is the only maintenance I've had to perform on it.

Summing up, I scored a nice truck that I plan on driving for many years to come. Keep on Jeepin'.

Date stamp on my camera wasn't set.

Only 18,000 at that rate you can pass it on the the great great grandchildren..
I wouldn't know what to do if that's all mine had ..
I currently set 73976
But it still runs great .

2020 JT Sport, MaxTow. Bought 8/10/19. 71 K miles. (2 inch mopar lift, 35s)

1) Replaced steering gear for Iron.
2) 1 gas tank emission valve covered by warranty around 20K miles.
3) 1st Dash Warning lights/message explosion ( loss power steering, trans locked in park) , 67K miles - dealer found nothing
4) 2nd Dash Warning lights/message explosion, 68K miles-Dealer relaced canbus connector behind the glove box (at my instructions ) and I think they relaced a connection tied to steering.


$ 40K before tax and tags. Can't touch this Sport Max Tow with ""24 Customer Package?? " addons( power windows, doors, mirrors, heated mirrors, leather wrap steering wheel, Lighted vanity visors) Premium soft top, bedliner, Aux Switches, MaxTow,


Amazing Jeep, I would like to hit 150K-200K and repower but I do think about grabbing a new one. If I order a new one it would be almost the exact same config.

Wow 73 on a 21. I am looking at a spare (fun ride) now cause I hit 70K on my 20.

I bought my 2020 launch edition Rubicon in 2019.

Warranty fixes include:

1. snapping/cracking sound specially in 4WD - front axle shaft replaced
2. 3.6l Pentastar engine tick. (had same issue in my 2012 JK 2-door)

Otherwise it has been amazing.

Almost out of warranty re: mileage so also curious the overall consensus on buying extended dealer warranty.

I am tempted by 2024 but just wish it came with a new engine option.

Thanks for the details! I never had any trouble with the Pentastar in my 2012 2Dr Rubicon. I probably added 2,000+ lbs to it with a lift, skid plates, Hutchison Rock Monster beadlock wheels and 37's. It took everything I could throw at it. Hoping the Gladiator holds up as well. I put about 40-50,000 miles a year on vehicles and usually trade at about 80-90,000, so usually about every 18-24 months. With prices on 3/4 ton trucks rising about 50% in 3-4 years, I'm done with trading so frequently.I've had my Rebel for 2 months now, and only have 4,000 miles on it, so have slowed my roll a bit. All of my kids now have moved here (son lived in Michigan before), so that will help keep the miles down. And then buying the Gladiator as a daily driver is the second part of keeping the miles off the truck.

2015 Hard Rock fully loaded... bought a year old with 36k on it. Installed after market steel bumper and winch boosted 1.5 inches. Ran 35s on stock wheels...( i liked the stock wheels)
No issues until...
At 180k the passenger side valve issues began and then broke something in there. Cant really complain.... thats alot of miles of hard driving and a 200 mile a day commute... yes 200 not fat fingered Traded for a 23 loaded Gladiator Rubi.
Loved that Hard Rock and paid 12k under blue book... Nissan dealership didnt know what a Hard Rock was hahaha. Wanted the Gladiator since it came out but had to wait.... worth waiting for

Finally installed my 2.5 inch lift yesterday at 37K miles. Was a little upset to find my right rear inner brake pad completely caked in greasy dirt. I didn't bother to pull the rotor to look behind it, but i'm thinking its safe to assume the axle seal is toast. frustrating I waited till after warranty to do my lift..... Word to the wise I guess...

Wouldn’t that be covered under 5 years 60,000 drivetrain Warranty ?? Axle I consider drivetrain ?

Verbiage of Powertrain warranty implies it would be covered.

Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
Transfer case and all internal parts; transfer case control module and shift
mode motor assembly; axle housing and all internal parts; axle shafts; axle
shaft bearings; drive shafts assemblies (front and rear); drive shaft center
bearings; universal joints and yokes; disconnect housing assembly; and
seals and gaskets for the listed components only.

HUH, I always assumed the drive train was just the motor and transmission.....

I'll have to read into it!

2020 Sport Max Tow. No Lift, 33 tires. Only add on was the dual battery kit from genesis. 90000 miles just dealer maintenance no problems knock on wood for another 90000.

Mine just ran out or it timed out before mileage same as you. I got lucky in that the passenger side sunshade broke 1 day before it timed out and I got it replaced. That was the 3rd time one of the sunshades has broken. Other than that just had to get the steering box done on their nickel and two windshields but 35,000 miles so far without anything else

Happened to me too. Was within 500 miles of warranty expiring and sunshade broke. First time though. Also when I was within 700 miles battery died. Jeep replace under warranty. All this earlier this year. Yesterday replaced tires and changed oil. Have had a couple of recalls. That is it.

 

[Osteodoc08]

2020 Mojave
22k miles

Requested replacement to steel steering gear housing update.
had the rear axle locker actuator act up and sensor replaced.

so far has been great. Wish it had more interior room and bed a bit deeper but it is what it is. It’s still the only truck that can do what it can do.
