Picked my brand new overland up Saturday night, dropped it back this morning with po300 misfire. I put less than 30 miles on it before I got to play this game that seams didn’t get resolved. But........ I am glad to hear others have no issues because all I’ve found today are 40+ horror stories
Sorry man. You know the build date by chance? Seems like a lot of them are 10/2019-1/2020...just from what I’ve seen.

Wow! Sorry to hear that. Can you get out of this thing? With 30 miles on the clock and a misfire issue already, I'm hoping for you that there's a one week grace period or something where you might be able to turn it back over to the dealer and look for another w a different build date.

ive been trying, I told them to give my trade in back or a new Jeep. I paid for a brand new vehicle not one that’s under the knife Before I’ve Even hade it 48 hours. I’m supposed to get some kind of Answer by today’s. But my stealer is proving to be dishonest and unprofessional, I don’t expect they will even consider doing the right thing.

It depends on the state you buy in. Nevada has no 'change your mind' period. Once you sign the papers, that's it. Everything you want has to be in writing before you sign.

Not a misfire but yesterday I got a check engine light and ESS lights and it wouldn't turn off or go into any gear, pulled fuse F10 and it reset everything and was fine last night and today so far. Has 3,005 miles on it now. Going to the dealer Friday to hopefully figure it out

9,000 miles in 6 weeks. No issues as of yet.
Although this 3.6 seems to make more noises than the 3.6 in our '18 PM3500.

Did you say 9k miles in 6 weeks!? Damn dude, that's more miles than in my 6 months of ownership, and I've traveled up the Eastern seaboard. At least you're enjoying it.
I agree that the 3.6L is noisy. One of the first mods I did was put an air intake, and if I didn't have the stick shift, it would've came out - that's how loud it is. I won't even contemplate an exhaust. op
Glad your enjoying the Glad

Picked mine up the end of July last year, so coming up on a year. No problems other than a couple of plastic pieces that didn't get snapped down good at the factory, but they were a snap to fix. Only time it has been in the shop is for oil change. Has over 13,000 on it.

Yeah, we bought the Gladiator on the road while travelling. By the time we made it back to the east coast (2 weeks later) we had already 5k on her. We thought we'd slow down (technically we have), we put another 4k on her.

We're hoping to stay more local for a month or two. After that, we're hoping for a good 2-3 week overland & mtb trip again.

15000 plus trouble free miles for me. I have had the oil analyzed by Blackstone for both oil changes thus far and it has been spot on.
