Only the mechanic at the Dealer. (I like the dealer I go to)
However, when I went for knee surgery, and I asked my Buddy for a ride there and back, he suggested we go in MY truck. I jokingly said that I would be in no shape to drive it. So, he did great driving in the neighborhood, and a favorite off-road place, so I let him drive it and me home from the Surgery Center.
A few weeks later, I drove him to his Doctor, in his Trachoma. .....It was okay. I'll keep my Gladius.

My girlfriend drives it once a week to work so it gets driven more and on the interstate. It runs way better now. Otherwise, It only gets driven around town to Home Depot runs.

My wife on occasion, when I need to take her Grand Cherokee Ltd. in for service. Fortunately, it's been mostly routine oil changes.

My wife and my friend Ryan mostly. But pretty much anyone I trust offroad. I’m more particular on road.

Me . . . . just me. 😁

I’d probably let my wife drive it if she wanted to, but as she is currently suspicious that I love my new Gladiator more than her I don’t think she is in a rush to get behind the wheel. LOL

Since my wife has a Gladiator without a box on the back, (a JLU) and it's identical save for the length, and she's familiar with it all and has not had an accident since she was a teenager (and that one wasn't even her fault).......... besides, what's mine is hers, what's hers is mine. We both worked for the money.
She is a safe driver. Cares about scratches and dings.

However, until the last 2 weeks she's not been able to drive anything, not her lifted JLU, not my JT Mojave X, due to massive arm, shoulder injuries leaving her without a good arm to drive with. She's just getting back into driving and I encourage it as it's a sort of PT in a way.

My oldest son is my go to if for whatever reason I can’t drive. My wife has a current driver license but she hasn’t t driven a foot since our younger son passed away unexpectedly in 2015. However, my daughter is Jeep through and through and has a habit of sneaking away with my JT if my back is turned 😂
