2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport

I’m on my 2nd Gladiator. It’s a used 2021 Sport. My first one was a Mojave. A tree fell on it and totaled it while I was driving it. Not in the same financial place I was in 2021, so I will have to build this one up as I go.

Our used sport s was my absolute favorite at the time I was just so happy to have one. They are so fun to drive. Didn’t take me long to realize I love Gladiators much more than a New Bronco. I hope to have my Mojave forever!!! 😁

What did you like/dislike on the Bronco. My wife was looking at one. Friend has one down south. Been it in a couple times when we went to see him. He always drove and there was always 4-5 of us in it so never really paid attention to the ride. Thought the interior was fine. Didn't like how you couldn't see out the back window with the top down though.

Congrats!!!! Welcome back!!
I'm new to the JT's but not new to Jeeps.
I've had a couple Tacoma's, Dodge Ram, and GMC Canyon. A couple YJ's.... Hubby had a ZJ for a while. We just got back into the Jeep community about 3 months ago (24 MojaveX).

Is there a thread somewhere on here for us ladies?? I didn't see anything...??

Welcome and Congratulations. I wish they had a forum for Lady Gladiator Owners. Not sure if they do. You learn so much from them.

I absolutely loved my Bronco at first. We live in the South and the pollen never really would come off my soft top. The clips are cheap on it. You can reach your hand in between. The snow was quite heavy on it and blew inside my Bronco in the back seat. I started getting recalls. All simple stuff. Forever getting upgrades on computer systems. Belonged to Bronco Forum and read how people’s Bronco’s were dying with no power. The 2.3L was fuel pumps. Also my brothers friend is a mechanic at a Ford Dealership and is seeing a lot of blown turbos under 10k miles. People were noticing rust underneath them first few months and I looked under mine and the whole exhaust pipe to engine was surface rust. Might be normal not coated metals I imagine. Overall I loved the look and color Cactus Grey. I wish I had gotten one with a hard top. All and all I believe for myself the Jeep Gladiator surpassed my expectations as far as quality and driving experience. I love the look of the Bronco. I think if you decide on one research it. Weigh the pros and cons. Get a 2024 also. Not first year.

I’ve had 37” on prior two. Definitely loved the look with the lift and bigger tires. I am enjoying it stock right now. Maybe 35”s when these wear out. Congratulations on your purchase as well. JT Love!!!
I had 35's on my last one and feel like it drove slightly better, might be the partially the different brand of tires or the slightly different setup I have up front. 35's on a stock setup on these is pretty awesome!!

Great to know. Will be switching to 35’s when these are worn. 😁
