What is the most important accessory for your Gladiator?

[ShadowsPapa]

1. All weather floormats
2. Tonneau Cover
3. Side steps / sliders

All three of the these were required for me right after driving it off the lot. Mine came factory with side steps (Overland) otherwise I would have added those.

I was even willing to give the dealer accessory guy a shot, knowing full well he would try and screw me... Sure enough he “Required” a $150 install charge on the tonneau, and couldn’t price match otherwise “the tonneau wouldn’t be covered by the manufactures warranty if not professionally installed”. He also guaranteed me he wasn’t over priced on his weather tech floor mats, when the weather tech site MSRP was $50 lower with free shipping...

MOPAR parts have the MOPAR warranty of 2 years no matter who installs. I was told that once my brake controller was installed, that 2 years became whatever was left on my truck if that happened to be longer than 2 years. Not sure about that part, but you get 2 years regardless.
When I had trouble with the MOPAR trailer brake controller, they told me flat out they didn't care who installed it, if there was a problem, they'd fix it (turned out to be an issue with the 2019 built JTs)

My dealer PARTS GUY (went right to the parts counter) gave me a price on Weathertech mats for my WJ and the price he shot me was exactly what the WT web site said. He also said "no shipping charges". So the dealer parts guy matched buying them direct.

I called his bullshit on the warranty thing but he didn’t want to hear it, stereotypical sleazy sales tactic.

Its a typical high volume dealer, more concerned about if I wanted to roll the cost into the loan than getting me what I wanted for a fair price.

The JT was a good price though so I can’t complain too much.

Both on and off-road experience is improved with the Tazer. I would be way less happy with the truck without it.

As always we value your feedback, we would love to see what is the most important to you!

this is close as I can find but I don't think it will work with the cover

Gasoline (number 1 most important added accessory)

Diesel!

 

[ShadowsPapa]

Diesel!

I'm afraid if I added that accessory, I'd be hauling it to the dealer on my car hauler (pulling it with my wife's WK2 since it has a BETTER TOW RATING than my truck!)

If my truck hadn't come with them, All-Weather floor mats would have been the first addition, either Weather tech or Husky. Next was a hard tonneau cover, I wanted some secure storage space to tuck away the freedom panels on the road.

Shopping now for a step/slider, trying to find the right balance between price, protection and step utility- wife says I can't get big tires until she has a way to climb in

Soft doors
Extra skid plates/protection
