Overland Model, What do you think

[longhornlove]

Go for it. I just bought an Overland High Altitude. Will be delivered next week. It is what I wanted plain and simple. They are far and few between for sure. There was only one in the entire country like I wanted. Still got a good deal too. That includes $1600 shipping from MD to TX.

I have back issues and I find it's easier sitting in my Overland than most other vehicles. I think they are a bit better than those in my wife's Grand Cherokee. Better than the other JT trims? Can't say - but they are good seats, IMO - for my bad back, especially.

They feel no different than the other trims in my experience unless you go high altitude

I have a 2020 Overland that I bought used with 13k miles on it and a lot of mods. It has almost every option and is a blast to drive, gets around great in the snow and of course it's a convertible. My next one might be a Mojave but I'm perfectly fine buying another Overland

Good looking Jeep!

Overland seems like the best on road version. I purchased a rubicon because by the time I added what’s standard on the rubicon to an overland I wasn’t far off in price, so it was worth it to me to pay a little more for the added goodies and resale.

Funny everyone talks resale as if it's a fact......... these haven't been out all that long, and too often, it's a regional thing anyway.
Does anyone account for the increased cost of ownership over those years, and the percentage?
The $$ in dollars and cents may be higher - but so was the initial cost, and if using a loan, the cost of the loan if all else is equal.
I know in Iowa, the Sahara and other levels of Wrangler sell just as easily and quickly and as my brother has found out, even before covid, often a good used one went for the price of new.

I'd love to see people do the real math on Gladiator proving that the Rubicon will actually cost less to own over 5 years or so.

What you're going to get is the opinion on the trim level each person here bought.

You need to go through all the trims, find the one that checks off the most items on your must have list and buy that one.

From bottom trim to top, they are all the same little off road truck that the top and doors come off and can go on adventures right off the lot.

So buy what you think you need, make it yours, and enjoy yourself.



*** Another thing, you don't HAVE to do anything to it you don't want to. Peer pressure in the Jeep Asylum is worse than High School.

Make sure you add diesel to your overland

I’ve had all of them but the Willy’s sport in the JT and from my experience the overland is the best of the trims in terms of DD.

That’s what I keep hearing. Best overall day to day for sure. Like most have said it’s based on what fits your lifestyle. I don’t drive mine everyday so any trim fit my needs.

We leased our 2021 Overland because I was not sure of our long term needs. My wife chose the color so we are happy with the truck over all. I work from home . I don't drive much. We now have 12K on the truck after 20 months. The rough roads in our area justified having the Jeep. It works well pulling our Airstream to the gulf coast.
I have learned that the stock tires & wheels don't work well on the soft sands near Port Bolivar, Texas when you are pulling a travel trailer. We were axle deep and a passing 3/4 ton Chevy driver pulled us out in 2 minutes.
My only mod to date have been an upgrade to the factory LED headlights. The original headlights were worthless. Not appropriate for a $51K truck.
Nice truck for most situations.

I concur, they should just come standard with LEDs

I was so close to ordering an overland. I changed my mind from an Overland to a Mojave. I lked the the hood scoop and the lower gears on the Mojave.

As long as you aren’t trying to rock crawl on expert level trails, you’ll be fine. I got the High Altitude and my only regret is that it doesn’t come with AT’s. Love the seats. Love the ride. It’s good enough for the off roading that 99% off users will see - the track lock diff works surprisingly well. I use my radar based cruise control daily. Can’t imagine not having that feature if you live anywhere with traffic. If I had to do it over again, my only change would be to get hydro blue instead of snazzberry, because I’m not a Texas Aggie.

I'm looking for a model Jeep Gladiator that will be a street driver 99% of the time, I want the 8" radio system, painted top to match vehicle, trailer tow package, LED light F&R, and all terrain tires, plus other options. The Overland model suits me for what I want, what do you think and do you have an Overland. I also like the High Altitude model, but these are hard to find on dealer lots, even in the DFW area.

I have a 2020 Overland. Very pleased with it. No complaints. The only issue I have had was the steering drift common at that time for Gladiators. Jeep replaced the steering gear and it’s been fine ever since. I like the ride, which should be great for everyday. Love the safety and other features - like 120v power outlets. I take it on the beach frequently. Hope this helps

I have a Willis with everything you spec’s out. Have 20 foot dual axle car hauler and have used to haul my grandsons car and my John Deere 1023 tractor with front end loader and yard box. Pulled them just fine. Don’t need to spend extra $$$$’s just for the second decal on the hood.
