A lot of this is redundant to the TFLtruck reviews but Steve's presentation is top notch and makes it worth my time. I'm pretty much convinced I'll be waiting for the diesel.

Brother, you do such an EXCELLENT job! I am glad you are part of the TFL team!

Like Roman said, "It's a 60k mid-sized truck...with limited payload and towing...made from Italian parts. What could go wrong?"

Best presenter,,, ever.. Thank you.

I just went and looked at one, $61,000 CAD for a Rubicon model is just ridiculous. Especially when I watch them drive down the road hopping over road cracks and I smash my head on the roof bars just sitting in the passenger side. It's great for some just not for me. I personally would go towards a ZR2. For my fit. Have a great day.

that camera system is actually a great idea, hopefully other manufacturers will follow

Idk how they produced this without a brake controller ... Come on Man !

I can’t wait for the review of that boat, I’ve been seriously looking into that exact one. Perfect timing

I get so tired of reviews by people who can’t get their facts straight, not a problem here. Great review, all you missed was the locks on the back seat.

We towed 8,000 pounds from DETROIT to PANAMA CITY BEACH, 2,400 miles round trip. In a Rubicon, and it did very well. We will have a full video soon. It’s an awesome truck!

This is the only FCA product i'd consider. maybe a hellcat but outside of that i'm good. I have to give it to FCA, muscle cars and jeeps they do well. Where else are you going to find a convertible truck?

I thought the Rubicon had a lower tow rating than the Sport - the Sport requiring the Max Tow package that takes it up to the 7,650 lbs (IIRC) tow rating.

I don't understand why so few people use a weight distributing hitch when towing. If you think the towing handling is good now, get a weight distributing hitch and you'll be amazed.

in all the review they only use rubicon why the sport or the outland cant tow???? come on people no every one have 60 k or 70 k for a fully loaded rubicon.

I think I do want to wait on the diesel model. I want one of these as an overlanding vehicle and having the range and low end torque appeals to me, especially since I'm going to end up putting extra weight on the truck with bigger tires, bumpers, gear, etc.... I don't think I'll be towing that much but it'll be nice to have the power and the extra stability to do so easily. Really impressed with what they did with this truck. The breakover is a downside but it can do stuff a Wrangler can't

Took my aunt into our local Chrysler dealer this week to talk about the corrosion starting on her garage kept 2012 Chrysler 200 Hardtop, with only 50000km. Was shocked to hear the service manager try to convince her that it is perfectly normal to expect the aluminum hood to start corroding after only 50000km. The rims looks 10x worse from corrosion than my 2005 Honda CRV with 244000 km. I will NEVER buy a Dodge / Chrysler / Jeep product ever again.

Nice job Big Steve.....

Want a truck, buy a truck, want something pretty good for off road, the gladiator does well. Running a 2022 JLUD myself.

They literaly dive the same though, like a cement truck

As good as the other guys are, this one i frankly better than most presenters on YT. Chatty and informative as hell. Good production all around too!

I love my Mojave! Rides like it's on a cloud. Still pulls 6,000 pounds. And gets so many compliments, on and off the road!

Best presenter that TFL has ever had.

Love all of TFL videos, but why do you guys keep making the same videos over and over again? All of this information has been presented, by TFL no less, countless times.

It’s splitting hairs to say it is or isn’t a Wrangler with a bed. At the end of the day it is a Wrangler with a bed. Of course there are some frame and suspension differences in the rear. It’s mostly a Wrangler JL that hooked up with a Ram 1500 and has some of daddy’s features out back 😜

Love the trail cam! The gladiator is growing on me. Doesn't have high enough tow rating for me though. Need 11,000 lbs for my toys.

Thanks Bro...great video..

280hp was impressive 10years ago

Yam-A-Ha lol I always think cultural differences on spoken language is funny and somewhat interesting.

Breakover angle? Those must be some serious speed bumps at the mall.

Why would I need a moly system on the back seat...I don't think i'm going on patrol anytime soon. Id rather they make a small fold down table or something

Per your very first question, the hood and grill are the things that show me it's a Gladiator - are there any other differences? Also, I haven't looked, but isn't that hood at least very very similar to the Hardrock edition of the Wrangler Rubicon?

Great job with information. Lets be clear one should never tow more than 80% of max trailer tow.

This review is what TFL Off Road is all a boat.

I like them so much, make me smile when I see one tooling down the road! Maybe only old VW Bugs make me this happy. Question how much over max towing weight could you tow and not damage your truck, 7100, 7200, 7350?

"Then you crank up the KZfaq copyright free music." Hahahaha

Lol same background music sxsblog used for Nick's custom singing

Why these don’t come with the hemi

Any chance you can compare the towing experience with this vs a grand Cherokee? Specifically stability

Nice vid! Thanks for the Toledo shoutout

The bad - couldn’t imagine towing 7k lbs in this thing in any kind of stressful environment like hilly or mountainous areas. The good - this presenter !

These new wranglers tow great I think. Haven’t driven a gladiator though.

Excellent video as always! I wish there was an option to get the "Offroad Pages" features into my JKU/Aftermarket Android auto and a bluetooth OBDII reader.. Im assuming that is how its reading all the internal sensors and gauges. Maybe someday :) If anyone knows any 3rd party or DIY options let me know!

what happened to the Jeep Comanche ?

285 hp 260 tq Good lord!! I wouldn’t drive that shit if it was given to me for free! 2019 ford raptor supercrew baby FTW

Great video thank you!

It's a Ramgler half ram half wrangler

I don't understand how the addition of a bed increases the towing capacity so much?

I'm from the 419! Great area to be.

why is it always a yahama jet boat? so many press events use this for vehicles that tow in the 5000 lbs range.

What exhaust was on there because it sounded louder than stock

They are cool looking. But if you look at the competition (Toyota) they are overpriced. Almost the same power as the segment leader but higher tow rating. But if you watch the tow test the Gladiator struggled to tow at max weight. The segment leader had no problem towing at max load. I almost bought one.

The back door is such an odd shape why couldn’t they make it more square without the cutout for the nonexistent fender that would be there if it was a wrangler

This vehicle, imo, is somewhat of a strange, not very good at it's jobs, vehicle, before you start hating let me explain, first off, I'm going to be using the 2009 hummer h3t as a comparison, since this is what the h3t would of been competing with if the H3t was still around, for starters I'm going to compare base to base models, then top of line to top of line. So the first thing, that would make the gladiator better than the H3t On road would be the engine/trans combo, 285 horsepower and 260 ib-ft mated to a 6spd Manuel or an 8 spd auto is deffinenetly better than 242 horsepower and 242 ib-ft mated to a 5 spd Manuel or 4 spd auto for on road driving, however that's kinda where the base gladiator kinda stops being better. For starters, the base H3t comes with a 4.56 gear ratio vs a 3.73, also, the base gladiator requires you to eather A, buy a lift kit, or B, trim the fenders, to fit anything larger than a 33 inch tire, the H3t only requires you to turn a 2 bolts to fit larger tires (and if ride quality is importan, but don't want to swap to off road shocks, just install a couple prices of blastic between the top of the shock and the mounting point), also, look at the back of both vehicles, the tow hitch of the gladiator is mounted under the bumper, reducing ground clearance, the H3t had it's hitch inside the bumper, right where the license plate would be on the gladiator, also, the bed is mounted much higher than the gladiators bed, which improves the departure angle, and another thing, the adventure package could be purchased on a base H3t, you didnt have to get all the fancy electronics, sun roof, appearance package ect if you just wanted a 4.09:1 low range and front and rear lockers, with the gladiator you have to get an entirely different trim package for improved off road capabilities, another thing, the H3t had an ifs setup, so it is overall superior off road due to its low center of gravity and wide stance mixed with its superior front diff clearance. As for top of the line models, the H3t would be equipped with a V8 engine making 300 horsepower and 325 ib-ft of torque, and 4.10 gear ratio, getting this package also gave you front and rear lockers and the 4.09:1 low range, bassicly it was a rubicon pkg, that also gave you a V8, only it would be the other way around, another not as know thing about the h3/h3t is that it's doors are, in fact, removable, also, something I forgot to mention is that the H3t has more belly clearance than the gladiator. I'm not saying that the gladiator is a bad vehicle, but a TEN YEAR OLD truck keeps up with it, and beats it in some cases, I just feel that the gladiator should have at least been eye to eye, so to speak on all points. if the h3t was still around, even if it had been updated very little vs the 2009, it would be an overall superior vehicle, the only thing that would make the gladiator better than an h3t, top of line vs top of line, is going to be that diesel engine, but all of this is just my opinion, so please don't cuss me out like an ass hole.

Seems that v6 struggles a bit - sure seems to roar rather than grunt.

I wish they’d offer the hemi in these

How do you like it vs the Tacoma?

Thanks for the video, people that complain, are just hating lol.

Prefer the black plastic and roof on the ruby

Got to hate it when a reviewer contradicts themselves. Nothing more than click bait. Yes. This "truck" looks like a wrangler with a bed on it. In many ways, as it is admitted by the reviewer it is....... Until Jeep produces full size truck like the quadratrac.... they can keep this piece...

What kind of tail lights does that gladiator have?

I haven’t driven the Gladiator but the new Wrangler has SUPER SMOOTH suspension and acceleration. I was incredibly surprised.

The tailgate is a aluminum. Is that why it seems flimsy?

Well they tried. They just can't expect very many people to buy a 57K midsize truck with crappy HP and torque. Just not a practical truck or towing machine.

Tow power assessments in southern Ontario? That's kind of useless. Couldn't find anywhere flatter?

Seriously 70 grand to tow 7000 pounds? Used ones are already showing up because they can’t tow much, they can’t haul much and they are too long to off road

This is probably ok for short distant towing not to heavy loads. I see a few of these jeep Trucks on the road. Meh. I'd take a two door day in day out.

Dude you rock

@ 10:16 you guys are listening to Tony Danza music up there in Canada? this is just like Germany loving David Hasslehoff ... makes no sense

Will be a Perfect capability for a mid size truck for towing and off road with the availability of the diesel. Waiting patiently

Has about the towing capacity of an old used Chevy nova.

Mmmmm Gladiator

Saw a gladiator being towed out in copper harbor over the weekend. Broken front axle. Not even that hard of the trail. Jeeps are POS

Does nothing have surge brakes anymore lol

Who on earth would conduct a video with HALF the factory limits, like obviously it’s gonna do it just fine. Yeah, it’s okay for part of the it, but let’s see it’s LIMITS!

All you millenials did not do any research just went out and bought a jeep. Little do you know jeep sold jeep in 2005. Since the liberty it has been made by fiat. So this is a fiat wrangler.

Tow itself right off a cliff

Tiny and not fast with a boat unlike a v8 sport trac or like that's not a big boat it only is a 3000 pound trailer

Don’t buy one

has nothing in common with jeep gladiator's of the past other then name plate

Buy a real truck if you want to tow.

So ..fiat renualt makes them now ..it is so far from a real jeep it is closer to a fiat 500. The engine will grenade itself at 40k..mark my words . It will be in shop more than you will have it in your driveway..good job buying a lemon.

Fan boys can hate if they want, ugliest truck on the market.

60+k for a gladiator nah i can tow just fine with my wrangler Rubicon jk It tows a 20ft pontoon boat just fine
