I have almost 3k miles in just over 2 months and no issues. Mine was built in March, I special ordered it.

Zero issues other than this weird compulsion to drive it all the time. Bought December 2019 and have just over 5k miles.
Same here! It’s weird, it’s like the siren’s call...

I have just over 1800 miles, bought the first part of January. Only problem is that I can't stop buying stuff for it. Maybe I am just one of the lucky ones!
Same problem here (and endlessly looking into stuff to buy), my wife thinks I have an issue

Sounds like we're all married to the same woman!

So, quick question...how many Gladiators are out there that have not had any issues with engine misfiring?

There are a ton of people on here that have the issue, nearly zero that have been able to get it fixed and many that ended up in the buy-back/lemon law process. Hell, there's even one that Lemon Law'd due to misfire...got a new one and is having the same issue.

I had read about it, figured "there's a ton out there that perfectly fine, it's just a vocal couple with the issue" Then my parents purchased a Gladiator....sure enough...engine misfire...same process I read about...and ended up Lemon Law.

With this thread I'm just trying to convince myself to give it another shot. For them...and the Gladiator I ordered and am waiting on.
Four Pentastar engines, both Gen 1 and Gen 2, in four different vehicles, and not one single issue. Ever.

Well, to be fair the ESS died on my JLU but that's ancillary stuff.

I put 14,000 miles on the JT in 8 months and never had a hiccup. Towed like a dream.

ZERO issues, 6700 miles, but it's also just shy of a month old.

I think that expression is worded a bit differently...:CWL:

I feel your pain, my local dealer (Ford, Jeep, Dodge) was a huge bunch of douchebags when I had my 2017 Mustang GT. Haven’t taken the JTR yet, but honestly not holding my breath on expecting the Jeep side to be any better than the Ford side of the dealership.

I picked mine up on June 25, 2019 and I now have almost 22k miles on it and it runs like a top. Just last week I towed a 4k lb trailer to Destin, Fl from Nashville, TN and back without issue. Only thing I can complain about at all is the stupid little bluetooth speaker in the back has never worked and I don't have time to get it replaced.

I have had zero issues so far with my JTR. Three week long trips in the last 8 weeks and no highway or city driving issues. Haven't been able to get it out on trails yet, but not expecting issues there either.

My only problem is all of the aftermarket toys I keep dropping $$$ on., but I can't really blame Jeep for that. That's a "me" issue.
