Critical Review

"trash truck"

junk car not running well with less than 5000 miles. Engine problems, bad transmission also definitely occur every time but the American Jeep and Ram cars no longer work. They only look good but otherwise they are garbage. Paying so much for a car that doesn't run doesn't make sense.

Snazzy and Sassy
Pros

It's a Jeep! Very nice looking paint job. Outlet in the truck bed. Fun and also practical.

Cons

rough ride, seats are not super comfortable for long drives. High off the ground for getting into and out of.

We looked all over for a snazzberry colored Jeep Gladiator Mojave. We knew what we wanted and it took a long time to find one. This jeep is so fun and we plan to take advantage of the off road features. The paint job is amazing and such a great color. We have already used the full pickup bed and are thrilled with the outlet in the bed. So many nice details like the bluetooth speaker/charger.

Will never give this truck up

I love this truck. Rubicon with 3.0L diesel. Perfect combination of power and fuel efficiency. Has handled every Front Range trail I've attempted with zero mods. Not a single reliability issue. Because Jeep has discontinued the diesel option, I plan to keep this truck for a very long time.

Fantastic

It’s the perfect size pickup when you don’t always need a truck. Drive very smooth. Looks like new.

Loving the jeep Life!
Pros

Styling, add-ons available, performance, Jeepers

Cons

Handling on highway, gas mileage

The quintessential Jeep truck (JT). Looks incredible, and so much fun to drive! I added a sunrider (soft) top which makes the open air experience quick and easy. Removing the doors adds another layer to this unique vehicle, not to mention the added convenience of a pickup bed for those trips to Home Depot or Lowes. Be forewarned - this vehicle drives like a Jeep due to the solid front axel, but that's what give it charm and makes it's off road prowess possible. Can't wait for the next snowstorm here in New England. Not to mention - strangers actually wave at you on the road (Jeep Wave) and leave bath toys (ducking!) on your vehicle when it's parked! Love my JT!!

My Second Diesel Jeep
Pros

Great torque, power, and a fun drive

Cons

A little noisy at high speed but not too bad

I also own a jeep liberty diesel 2005. I had turbo problems with my Liberty but it is still going with a 145,000 Miles. I am so much happier with the Gladiator Diesel. I wear a suit to the office and don't mind driving my Jeep Gladiator. I get tons of compliments on it and have had no problems other than a windshield replacement, not Jeeps fault but a rock from the Highway. I have 20,000 miles on my gladiator and absolutely love it. Oil Changes between 7500 to 10.000 Miles. DEF fluid I fill about every 3500 - 4,000 miles. Cold start isn't a problem like it was and is with my Liberty. The Engine is responsive and quick. I have taken several long trips and have averaged 29-30 MPG traveling between 75-80 Miles per hour on the highway. Diesel prices vary but often Premium gas is more expensive. Diesel does save Fossil fuels and is so much better than Electric Vehicles. Especially in Rural areas. I do get a popping and a hop in the steering on slow sharp turns when in 4H. 4L works great and have had no problems when my traction control doesn't pull me out of muddy situations when in 2H. I prefer Diesel because better gas mileage prolongs fossil fuels. I prefer my Dodge Ram for quiet highway rides but for a midsize truck my Gladiator combines the best of everything that I need. A pickup Truck, an Offroad beast, and a four door vehicle for when I have a car full. The back seat has plenty of room.

2022 gladiator rubicon

Owned 3 brand new wranglers, and use them on highway 🛣️ from Minnesota to Rocky Mountains 🏔️ the last 10 years. Work in mountains 8 to 11x a year in Colorado. Hence, I use em! 2022 loaded gladiator ruby! Absolute beast-I sleep in it at trailheads - I’m 6’2 210 and it’s bliss. I’ve pulled 8 trucks out the last 2 years - who can’t make the climbs -the only negative is wind 💨 handling in ruby -you gotta hang on in the passes and highways. It can almost every thing my wranglers could do BUT way more comfortable with fox shocks and killer wild peaks -been Toyo open country snob for ever. The storage is epic-
