Gladiator doesn't sell b/c its expensive.

I really love my 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave. I use it for overlanding and have had zero issues. Almost 20K miles and have no complaints, only smiles!

I’ve had my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon since November 2019 and it has been a fun truck to own. Bought it new and it’s been a good truck. Not for those that keep trying to compare them to a weekend garden truck or F150. It’s a lifestyle truck for those that wanted a convertible, but live in winter 8 months out of the year and wanted a truck. I don’t care about depreciation because I’m never selling it.

This is a common problem for many brands, they over ordered when the market was HOT but delivery of stock was delayed due to chip shortage and ect. Now all this inventory is hitting the lots AFTER the rates have increased and people are spending less as the recession starts hitting hard. Many dealers might not survive this just like back in 2008

I bought one recently, but opted for a used 2021 for a couple of reasons: 1. Many of the ‘22s on the lot are missing random features due to supply chain issues, 2. Many of the ‘23s are now not including random things (probably due to cost-cutting) but the price was not adjusted down accordingly, and 3. The price has gone up so much that it’s ridiculous now. I understand inflation and all that, but when I priced out everything I was looking for, the cost of a ‘23 would have been $67K, which is getting into ridiculous territory for a mid-sized truck even if it is a cool Jeep. Instead, the used ‘21 had about 13,000 miles on it and had every single option I was looking for, including the safety packages.

They would be selling a lot more gladiators in my personal opinion if from the factory came taller/lift kit, bigger tires, every time I see a gladiator that stock it just doesn’t look right but everyone I see that’s lifted and bigger tires they look incredible and I feel if Jeep could figure out a way to give it a little better look in that regard they would be selling, I think putting the diesel in the gladiator was a great idea, I’m hoping their sales turn around, in my area northern California it seems they are selling a lot of gladiators obviously not as much as the wrangler but at least at my local dealers I haven’t seen them sitting in lots.

My last two trucks were a 2018 Z71 Colorado with the 3.6 and then a 2020 Trail Boss LT. I’ve been driving my 2022 Gladiator Willys since May 2022 and I love it! The road manners are decent and obviously off road is fun in this thing. The ability to avg 20mpg isn’t too shabby either. With my family of five we absolutely need the truck bed for any real adventure. My only actual complaint is the weak 921 lb cargo/occupancy rating. I absolutely agree the 5.7 would have been a genius move by Stellantis.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon owner here and absolutely love it. Mine came with a factory lift and all terrains. I put 35's and a tow package on it and have been able to make so much use of it. Camping, utility, family outings, it's my favorite vehicle I've owned and, imo, very nice to look at, haha.

Cost is still too high I don't think it is as much about reliability. I was cross shopping this with ram 1500 I got a larmie with a hemi for the same price as a mid teir gladiator

Here in the Midwest, the Gladiators are not a rare sighting, quite a few on the road and most dealerships have few if any (although for pick-ups, Chevy, Ford and Toyota dominate). The Toyota pick-ups, particularly the Tacoma, is still considered the "farm friendly" option for reliability, and the prices are $20K below the option-filled, convenience packages in other domestic pick-ups. But I do so like the Gladiators more than our 2014 Wrangler Sahara. The prices are still high here with rebates of about $3K on 2022 Mohave.

I personally own 2 of them, my wife has a Mojave and I have a rubicon, I’m not sure where you are but they can’t keep them on the lots, they are out selling the wranglers, we love ours they are a blast to drive, we are in Texas and we remove doors and roof and they stay that way for 10 months out of the year

I love my 2022 gladiator rubicon eco-diesel. Had it for 7 months and I go wheeling quite often . Iv'e had to help out people in deep ruts and obstacles when I drove through right after them with no problems. I carry equipment for different things that I couldn't fit in wrangler. It's an all around vehicle and i still get 25mpg with my 35" tires and mopar lift and it's plenty of clearance for most trails. Plenty of diesel torque when going over big rocks as well. I might even go with 3.5" lift and 37s later. It's hard to match the off-road rock-crawling capabilities of front & rear axles, electronic sway bar disconnect, front & rear lockers with any other stock truck in the similar category. It's an awesome truck if you use it for what it was designed for. Definitely not for just driving on flat roads and speed bump crawling at the mall. If you're looking for one, just go for the rubicon or the mojave and never look back.

One thing that few people cover, is how amazing of a tow vehicle the Gladiator with the EcoDiesel for middle weight loads. Sub 8,500 lbs it's better then any full size. It's a 1000 lbs lighter, so it accelerates better, and gets noticeably better fuel mileage when towing then any full-size could manage. It's far more maneuverable due to it's smaller size, that's also a huge benefit to for towing. The steering ratio being higher, designed to let you make tiny adjustments when offroading, also makes it a breeze to line up to the hitch, as well as need to squeeze through tough spots (like when idiots double parking on the street you are driving down) .I went down from a Full-size Truck on purpose to a Gladiator because I know I am not towing above 8,000 and the full size trucks are a pain to park, a pain to maneuver around a parking lot etc. The Jeeps lower weight also means you get far better fuel mileage for the town and city when you're not towing. However, on the highway, well it's shaped like a brick, but towing on the highway it's still leaps and bounds better fuel mileage then any full-size truck. I recently got 17-18 MPG when towing a 23 ft open car trailer, with a 5,000 lb EV on it. Stellantis is trying to retire the EcoDiesel, so I am sure this is why these merits are ignored. As far as missing features, mine is a 2022, I ordered it and didn't have to compromise on anything.

As a Ford fan thanks to my dad, I didn't get into the Jeep thing during the 70's & 80's as a kid. Probably because wanted to be a purist & to emulate my dad. Dad wasn't into them either even though he was around them during WWII. In 2008 or so I had a friend who had a 1994 Wrangler Sahara, it had a manual transmission & decided to drive it to work while I was babysitting her dogs. It rode rough, bounced all over the road, stiff as a board; rode like a hay wagon.... LOVED IT! That morning I realized why there was a following for these. It opened my eyes how fun these were. I recall Chrysler decided to bring back the round headlights on the 1996 which I think was a wise decision; Jeep's don't have square headlights. My input on the Gladiator is it looks cool, something different & when they came out, I was finally seeing Jeeps were expanding their lineup. One thing though, what hurts the model is they didn't offer a two-door option & bring back the Scrambler. You get a Jeep pick-up with a bit longer bed. Not everyone wants a four-door pick-up they still like regular cab pick-ups. If I was in the market for a Wrangler, I would never buy a four-door I think it's sacrilegious to have a four-door Wrangler, Still don't know why there's an interest in them. Also, what's hurting them is the cost. 64,000+ for a Jeep pick-up?!?! Ridiculious! In general, ALL trucks from all brands are getting too expensive. Who today has the funds to put 20% down on a new vehicle & pay 700-1000+ a month payment. All manufacturers are pushing leases these days cause they look cheaper, yet you don't OWN it. I agree they need to add a V8 option to these. Maybe they don't because of the CAFE standard BS. If they have too many vehicles with low MPG, they can get nailed with a gas guzzler tax on them.

I love my Firecracker red 22 Willys but you did have some good points. Wrangler is a bit more practical especially if you don’t use the bed often, but when you need it you remember why you got a JT! Cheers to my fellow Jeepers and if you don’t have one get one!

I love my 2022 Gladiator Overland , lifted and fully equipped. I'm beyond satisfied, taken this one to the grave. never selling!

More regular pickups now have good off road packages that make them capable and easier to live with day to day. Hemi would help gladiator sales.

There sales definitely depend on where you live. The gladiator is selling just fine by me. However I will completely agree with you on the power train, they need to upgrade this.

In Aug 2021, I looked at a Gladiator. But I chose to buy a Silverado CTB because it was cheaper. Plus, my Silverado CTB has a 6.2L in it. Why would I spend more to get less?

Those 3L turbo diesels are awesome. Have one. So much power and 30mpg routinely. For offroading especially the fuel range is incredible, and carrying extra diesel is much more flexible as so many offroad overland camping setups have diesel fuel heaters and cooking gear. And diesel is safer to carry than gasoline..

I bought a brand new Mojave in 21 coming from.a Ram1500 ,limited. Of course in 21 it was full retail. Honestly I love the truck and don't regret buying my first jeep and coming out of full size. It really came down to having a bed to haul things. And my guess most people don't need the bed snd prefer more inside cargo. Great vids Benny keep em coming.

Overall you have done good points. We love ours. Especially as an adventure vehicle. The long wheelbase is beneficial in some ways though too. Even rock crawling. Have had ours for almost 3 years now and over 50k trouble free miles. And coming from an 80 series LC, the JT is a rocket!

i dont own one but i know somebody and let me tell you once your towing something and have the jeep loaded up with family and camping gear he quickly realized that he needed the diesel and or a V8 the V6 just dosent work. He had the thing floored going through the hills most of the time. Going to the beach with the top off is priceless and he does love the truck.

I definitely agree with giving the Gladiator a V-8. It would also be more versatile as a hauler if it had a midgate so you can extend the bed into the second row of seats to give it more haul ability.

I drove top trim when they first came out. I really liked the overall ride and drive.

When I was replacing my Dakota I looked at the Gladiator but it just didn’t cut it as a work truck. No extended cab or 6 ft bed option, no 2wd option, less interior room, and very pricey with ok payload/towing capacity. So I ended up getting a Ram 1500 Classic Tradesman with the Hemi for $32k, and got more truck for less $.

If I had to get a Gladiator, I would get the Mojave...that is such an awesome build from the factory and would make the ultimate overlanding vehicle.

I’m all in if Jeep/Stellantis offers a V8 with a shortened wheelbase, two door with extended cab, and the option for a hard roof/top! The current truck is just too damn fugly and too damn big/long!

I love my 22 mojave. I actually traded my 2018 JLU sahara and have zero regrets. Lots of great prices out there right now that people should be taking advantage of. But I'm sure those interest rates with good/great credit is still sitting at like 6%-9%+ APR, which is ridiculous.

We love our gladiator. Way smother ride than the Wrangler. See a lot of them on the road here in the Midwest. I think it’s all in want u want and what u going to use it for. Have no complaints here.

I have launch edition gladiator that’s almost 4 years old. Really enjoyed truck, but my complaint has always been lack of power. The V6 sounds like it’s going to explode sometimes cause wound so tight. I will buy again assuming it gets more power.

I went from a wrangler to a gladiator for storage. My wife also has a gladiator and they are great for overlanding, especially if you have Rubicons.

Thanks for covering this. I agree on the powertrain holding it back for a long time. I love the 3.6L in my 2014 Rubicon Wrangler, but it only makes its power when you hit high RPM's and it sounds REALLY unhappy at those high RPM's. When they finally offered the diesel option, their timing was terrible (because they finally made my dream truck and I was too borke to buy it at the time.) Then a couple of things happened: 1) Stories of problems with the eco diesel were coming around in large numbers (why the holy heck did they not use a Cummins engine instead of that for their light duty line-up) 2) I got one for a work road trip and found the seating position was horrible! I am admittedly built pretty odd (6 feet tall, but with a really tall body and relatively short arms and legs), but I just could not get enough room between me and the wheel to feel good for a long trip and my head was poking through the "roll cage". I read some companies actually make aftermarket seat brackets to try to address some of these issues, so I know its not just me. Even with those issues, I still would rush our an buy one (and just get a LONG term extended warranty and aftermarket seat brackets) if only I was not already paying for 2 other new Jeeps for my family. I also heard they were planning to stop production of eco diesel equipped ones at the end of last year, but am not sure if that actually happened? I am kind of surprised that Daimler Benze ->Fiat Chrysler -> Stellantis never tried a factory supercharged Pentastar for Jeep and Dodge/Ram trucks. My thought is that instead of wasting money on the run/stop, they could have taken the 3.2L version of it they developed for the China market (the one used in the Cherokee for a while) and added a supercharger and anything that would require for durability and BOOM, better gas mileage and gobs of low-end torque.

I completely agree with the lack of hemi in gladiator. I was in the market for an overlanding truck and I considered gladiator rubi. But i need something with more power so i went with Ram 1500 instead. Had they put the 5.7 or even 392 in the gladiator I’d be a gladiator owner already

Does the diesel come with a manual transmission option??

I have an eco gladiator sport S and other than not using the auto stop at all its a beast 0 issues and a wonderful vehicle I'm in love with it.

First I'll say, the 5.7 would've been great! I've owned a 2020 JTR and now a 2023 JTR. I wanted it loaded. I've lived in Utah, Idaho, Montana, and now Colorado. When I went to order my 2023, I called every jeep dealer from north Idaho to South Utah. I can honestly say, the dealer in sandy, where he's doing the video, was by far the most over priced! I would never buy a vehicle from them!! So, it's not surprising to me they have left over stock. As many have said in the comments, it's not the case where they live. I love my gladiator! The best vehicle I've owned in my 58 years! I've done about 25 of the badge trails in my gladiator.

I was in the market for a smaller truck last year and was looking at the Gladiator, Tacoma, and Ranger. After just seeing the price of each, I knocked off the Gladiator from the list. I ended up with a Tacoma because a TRD Offroad for almost 15k less (when you add a hard top, lockers, and markups on Gladiator) and Toyota has the reputation for reliability.

I'm just amazed that this was uploaded 5 months ago and it's freezing outside and now it's currently 108 daily in Texas.

I had a 2020 jeep gladiator and I enjoyed it, I definitely wish I would have waited for later models though.

I think you hit the nail right on the head with the V8 engine option comment. I own a 2014 JKUR and the V6 is fine. I think it would be so much better with a V8. If the Gladiator offered a V8, I would seriously consider buying the Gladiator.

Down here in Texas people love them it seems like everybody's trading in their regular Wrangler and getting the gladiator. Special here in North Texas

My brother in law's mom works as a manager at the local Jeep dealership. I asked her what her opinion was on the new frontier vs the jeep gladiator. I drive a nissan frontier pro4x now.

C-frame and aluminum bed in Tacoma, how many bed stiffening options in the aftermarket for gladiator? Zero, why? Because it doesn't need it! Also the Gladiator tows way more with its tow package than you can with the Tacoma.

You know I'm actively looking for one for my wife the biggest issue with the 2022s and the 2023s is standard equipment as far as safety is concerned meaning blind spot etc. Jeep needs to have more standard equipment to attract more buyers as well as what you said with more engine options.

I loved the black Mojave I test drove. However, the dealership was just a bit too proud and lowballed me on my (very nice) trade and acted offended when I told them there was too much money on the table.

I agree with folks that say the wheel/tire combo is the biggest thing holding it back bc the OEM tires look so dorky even you noticed and mentioned the street tires. Then when you see one on some meats it's a totally different vibe

I agree. The Gladiator is a compromised off-roader. And it’s a compromised pickup truck.

We'd be interested in a Gladiator 4xe (plug-in hybrid) with Hurricane gas engine, 35 kWh battery and AC outlets like Ford Pro Power Onboard.

Its Scotty’s fault the Gladiators are no longer selling😂

Very true. Jeep NEEDS to step up their game. They NEED to make a gladiator with a 5.7 Hemi and bigger wheels. No gladiator should come with smaller than 35's from the factory. 37's should be an option. EVERYONE is changing their wheels as soon as they buy their jeep.

I want a 2 door gladiator, same frame length as a 4 door jeep wrangler. Why not make it available as a special order?

My '21 Glad Rubi Diesel has been over the Rubicon Trail twice as it's in my backyard along with every other challenging trail in NorCal. They do not sit on lots out here, but instead sell very quickly. I had one of the first big and well built JTs in my area and now there are many built Glads in my town. Its a great truck for overlanding and running serious trails with my wife and kids.

The Gladiator only works with certain packages. The Mojave is something you cant get in a wrangler. A diesel rubicon is in high demand for the overland crowd. You definitely hit the nail on the head!

I ♥ how the rear doors look on the Gladiator said nobody.

Look if they are pricing Gladiators at or the same as Ram full sized trucks what do you think customers are going to buy?

I couldn’t disagree more. My 2021 rubicon was my dream truck and it hasn’t disappointed. Lifted on 37s sarge green and everybody loves it. I’ve been offered more than I paid for it multiple times. I tow my camper and boat with it and it does great. You should be doing videos on those junk broncos. 😂

I really looked into replacing my 2000 tj with a gladiator but until they come out with a two door or extended cab version and a minimum 7ft bed I can’t justify the cost and way way higher insurance cost. Plus all the unnecessary doodads and unnecessary gadgets make it a maintenance nightmare (every heated seat,camera,computerized crappola is just something waiting to break)

The gladiator is a pickup without the decent payload limit to match. Its the ONLY reason someone would buy one, to turn it into a tourer. It NEEDS a high payload

Just the opposite situation around the midwest. we just purchased a 23 sport s with the eco-diesel. came with dealer added 12.5x35 tires, upgraded wheels and a 3" lift. it's the wife's daily and she's absolutely thrilled with it. 2022's are near impossible to find around here and there's a strong gladiator following in the area. maybe in your demographic area the market is stagnant, but not in the midwest!

The damned thing is wayyy too expensive and the reliability is subpar. I've seen 2023 Nissan Frontiers with the Pro4X package for under $40k. Edit: and maybe part of the sales problem might could be is that the Wranglers are now chick vehicles. Most Wranglers I see are driven by women so the Gladiators might be experiencing a spillover effect that men don't want a chick ride.

The jeep gladiators are so much better built then any other mid size truck. Just about all the components are made for offroad.

Great assessment Ben.🎉🎉🎉🎉.

I love my 2021 Gladiator! I’ve had wranglers for over a decade, both a 2 door and a 4 door, and the Gladiator is just a better vehicle for me. All the fun, and off-road goodness, and styling of a Wrangler, but with the utility of a pickup truck. The increased payload is a game changer for us since we overland, and the usability of the bed is awesome for hunting, working around the farm, etc. I definitely agree that Jeep should have offered a more powerful engine option though. A couple grand option of the 5.7L Hemi like they do for the Rams would just make sense

Funny. I’ve seen more gladiators the last 6 months here in the Atlanta area than I have since I bought mine in June of 2021. I frankly also think the 3.6 pentastar is actually pretty quick and capable for what it is.

I’m a Mojave owner, better ride than my previous Wrangler, practical for hauling everyday stuff, more engine options makes sense but still worth ever Penny

So when are they going to stop putting the hemi in the Wrangler One of the when is the hemi going away in the Wrangler?

I was close to getting a Gladiator Willys, but as soon as a wrangler sport hit the dealership, I went that route. Practicality wise, it made more sense. My girlfriend felt more comfortable driving the wrangler, I have a dog, family in the future, it has more storage, and I don't necessarily need a truck w/a bed right now. With that being said, I still would love one down the road. My dad loved his wrangler but wanted a bed so he got one as soon as his wrangler was paid off and will never buy another model. It's kind of a niche car. I think you used the word "enthusiast" and that hit the nail on the head. Hope they don't go away from it down the road because it does it is a great vehicle

All they would need to do is give us hemi options and also make a 2 door version.

Completely true, not sure about other dealerships but I currently work at a gmc dealer and I’ve seen so many gladiators come in as trade ins and they just sit on our used vehicle lot.

Just bought a 2020 glad. Sport, needed a pickup bed and soft top, I'm gonna love it.

In the East Tennessee market, The dealers were adding 5 thousand above msrp with no incentives When I bought my 2020 and the 2021s were just coming out. I drove one and wasn't impressed with the handling on regular roads, the road noise, and the hard feel it had on regular roads. It is meant for farm and rural in my opinion. I got a Honda Ridgeline instead and I will have to say its the nicest truck I have ever owned.

Gladiator should have been a 2-doors with a large panoramic sunroof. Also, if it's going to be an alternative to other trucks it needs to offer all the same creature comforts and technology that other trucks offer. AND, I agree, I was hoping for the V8 from the beginning!

Gladiator is more expensive than a Wrangler which is overpriced already. Small bed, power is iffy, never really got used to the looks. If I want a truck I want it to look like a truck

Ben Id love to see you take a gladiator rubricon off road testing. Should I get a gladiator for off roading and hunting? or...pass

You are spot on. No hemi, no sale for me. That is exactly why I have not bought one.

Agree with you Ben, especially on price. You shouldn't have to pay over $50,000 and still not get painted to match fenders and a painted to match top. Gobi desert color paint is a great color for this jeep truck and they don't offer it anymore.

Mid-size truck with a full size truck price. Yes it’s unique but the price makes you question which way to go. I personally hope to get one next year once my current car is paid for. Always a huge fan of the Scrambler and that was a dream car for me, so I’ll buy one of these next year to get that concept. But, I’m still researching full size because of the price difference.

Hey Ben, I love my ‘22 JEEP JT. It’s a WILLYS EcoDiesel in Gobi Sand. It was highly optioned and I had it shipped up to Alaska from a dealership in Idaho. I love my JEEP truck and I literally had two guys come up and BSd with me about the truck for 15 minutes in the past two days. They are popular here in Fairbanks but I wasn’t going to pay $4995 markup the dealer here charged so that is why I worked with a dealer in Idaho (no it wasn’t DS either). I’m not thrilled with the stock suspension but that will be upgraded this summer/fall. Very satisfied with it thus far. I’m getting 33MPG when I first got it in Sept. Currently getting 21-23 MPG this winter. 👌

Him: Complains about the cold Also him: Drives about with the sunroof open. 😐

I came from a Wrangler to a Gladiator. I absolutely love it! ❤. It goes everywhere my Wrangler went and takes some much more stuff and tows more. #JTRSPARTACUS

The Gladiator is a fantastic truck that is awesome for overlanding and general offroading. They are a great buy. They have MUCH better payload capacity than Wranglers and 6G Broncos.

Does the dealership charge extra for the snow in the bed?

Gladiator rubicon is an amazing vehicle. Lost me when it got stuck in the sand at the beach. Great colors a lot of fun versatile if set up right

We love our 22 Gladiator Rubicon. The wind noise is minimal, the ride is good, and like you said. The top comes off. Yes we have put larger tires on it, and plan on doing some overlanding. It has been a great vehicle so far. 20k on it and no issues.

I always thought the Gladiator was an ugly and odd looking truck.

Here in NC they sell extremly well. I actually have a loaded Rubicon and paid just under $52k new.

Ben, informative video. Thank you. I will be purchasing a pickup truck at the end of 2024 to tow our Casita camper (only weighs 2900 lbs). My primary need for a truck is to tow our camper 6,000 or more miles per year. We don’t really off road beyond forest service roads. We are still debating a mid-size truck (prefer the size) to the 1/2 ton truck (more function for only 5% to 15% more money with the exception of the Gladiator that cost as much or more than the types of 1/2 ton trucks I would be buying). HOWEVER, I learned to drive at age 14 on our 90 acre farm using my dad’s 1968 Jeep J10 full-size Gladiator pickup truck. My dad used it to haul diesel fuel, chain saws, and logging equipment into the woods. I don’t need a Jeep Gladiator. The Jeep Gladiator has solid tow capabilities and payload specs relative to other midsize trucks, but it is not the best mid-size truck for towing duties and it costs way more and you have to put up with its idiosyncrasies. BUT, I have never owned a Jeep despite driving dad’s Jeep J-10 as a teenager, so I want one despite not needing one. YET, I am 60 years old; LOL, maybe better to buy the Gladiator (umm, a Jeep) in 2024 rather than in 10 more years or more! I would be willing to put up with its shortcomings with the exception of two things: 1. Price - I will not pay a premium for a midsize truck that costs more than some full-size trucks that includes its functional shortcomings relative to other mid-size trucks in terms of towing and hauling. But, if Gladiator is being heavily discounted, count me in and it will be on my short-list. 2. Reliability - if ain’t reliable, I don’t want it. Period. Historically, I would not consider the GMC/Chevrolet Canyon/Colorado due to their poor reliability. However, the new 2023s are impressive. I will watch and research this year and next year before purchasing in late Fall of 2024. I will purchase on the basis of price, reliability, safety, and function. If Gladiators are price competitive relative to other midsize trucks, I will seriously consider one with the assumption that it must be reasonably reliable! ;)

I'm surprised to hear they're not selling. I see a ton of them in NJ although I'm in a pretty densely populated area.

So many people clamored for a rebirth of a Jeep pickup, but the Gladiator is nothing like the Comanche. I agree stuffing a Hemi in would help. Doing a hellcat or 392 would really help imo, but my issue with the Gladiator is the lack of a 2 door model. Yes, 2 door trucks don't sell as well, but this is a lifestyle vehicle, and the die hards have been asking for it. Jeep has even teased the idea. So 2 fewer doors, and a better departure angle, and I think it would do well with the right crowd. The Gladiator as is is just too long for the trail and looks off proportionally. Shortening it up I think would add a lot of appeal.

I wonder if they are going to charge you extra for the amount of snow in the cargo bed??????

Gladiator purchase was simple. The only mid-size truck thats diesel, solid axles, and removable top doors. Nothing else compares. I’ve daily driven mine for 75k and not one issue, only smiles. Works as a functional truck and fun vehicle.

Ben you hit the nail 100% on the head I’ve been saying this from day 1 the boring inadequate pentastar is what is wrong with the gladiator besides it’s ridiculous price!! I priced a Mohave this morning on the online builder and it came out to $75k!!! Lots of other options out there for $75k that have real powertrains. I hope Jeep is listening!!

Overpriced. Simple as that

My Gladiator is awesome! Got it at 8% below invoice in '21. Picked up my wifes GC Summit Reserve for 6% below invoice in Jun of '22. Both superb vehicles.

I talked with that dealer and he basically told me the gladiator has a lot of rebates and is a great off road truck I traded in my Ford explorer for the diesel gladiator I paid 10k under msrp and got 12k trade in for mine...

I don’t know about anyone else, but if they had a single cab I’d definitely be interested in getting one. I don’t need a crew cab in my day-to-day life. That would also make its break-over angle closer to the Wrangler’s. I’d also be interested if they dropped a hemi attached to a manual transmission in said single cab.

Overpriced and unreliable. People that want a midsize truck are going to buy Toyota,Honda, and Nissan. Jeep is at the BOTTOM of brand reliability.

I like your videos Ben. Thank 6ou for your work and time. Keep at it 🤙🔥

Love my 2021 gladiator… Does the work.. and super fun.. I just realized.. I don’t need a Full size truck day to day.. And it’s off road capability is unmatched for having fun
