Zero issues other than this weird compulsion to drive it all the time. Bought December 2019 and have just over 5k miles.
5000 miles doesn't seem like much driving for 6 months.

Not sure when mine was built. I test drove it in October, 2019 then went back and bought it on December 26th. (I was going to order one, but when I saw the same truck I test drove was still on the lot, I asked for a bigger discount and the dealer complied.)

Just hit 5,000 miles and I did the first oil change last Saturday. No issue. Haven't seen any recall notices. Sorry to hear other people are having engine problems.

Yeah, I just bought a roof top tent and I ordered a bed rack. Mrs. Klutch said, "Boy, your hobbies are expensive!". Last Sunday we took the Gladiator into the mountains and drove many trails. Scenery was spectacular! We stopped and had a picnic with NOBODY AROUND ANYWHERE. Mrs. Klutch was quite pleased.

Let us know if you have any luck convincing her it's not just your hobby, but something you do for her happiness as well. ;)

Mine will probably never see that in a year... I DD a work-issue truck, and rarely travel much outside of work, since I have to drive ALOT for work.

Bought mine in 1/6/20 and have just shy of 8000 miles. Most of which was a ski trip from Houston to Durango, Co. No issues here.

It's not a problem. If ever Mrs. Klutch is anything less than supportive of of my hobbies, I threaten to buy a boat. Then she's very supportive again.

Little over a month, 1,700 miles and zero issues. About to do a 3,000 mile road trip vacation in it and have zero worries.

I'd like to try that, too. Except I really do want a boat! (That'll have to wait).

Bought mine February 2, 2020. 6,000 miles and no issues, but I did lose the top and doors at the end of April if anyone finds them by the end of September.
