I've had jeeps for over 40 years. About 5 years ago, I owned nine jeeps. I'm down to 4 now. Most of my older jeeps had over 2 hundred thousand miles on them. In fact, one I had, I gave to my son-in-law when I gave it to him it had 192 thousand miles on it. It now has 400 thousand miles on it. If you keep up with the maintenance on them you'll have a lot less problems. Yes, I have a gladiator now to, love it.

I have the 2020 white Gladiator Sport. I had the Stop/Start issue that was resolved by replacing the aux battery. My engine runs very smooth and I contribute that to a practice I have been using for years. Naprhalene is a product that is produced by refining crude oil or distilling coal oil. It it easily purchased in the form of "mothballs". It will disolve directly back into gasoline and boost performance while cleaning the fuel system through to the exhaust valves. This is accomplished by the resulting NO2 and hydrogen . Also a slight acidity that helps clean the system. Addition of one morhball to each 5 gallons will keep everything clean and provide a increase in mileage noted on trips but not on daily driving.

I have a 2022 Gladiator Rubicon, I have not had any problems with it. I currently have it set up for overlanding with a roof top tent. I have a winch, and extra lights, but no lift or bigger tires yet. I have taken it on many trails in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The only thing I wish Jeep engineers would have done is put a lock on the rear seats so they wont come up when locked, similar to what they did to the seat backs. If you keep things under the rear seat and take your doors off, all of that stuff can be stolen, and I have recovery gear under my seats. First off, I did not buy my Gladiator to haul or tow, I bought it for wheeling and being able to take the doors and roof off. This truck is great for what I use it for, which is not a work truck. I have around 22,500 miles on it. I am getting ready to head to Colorado for 10 days next week for some wheeling fun.

The only thing I did have was a software problem with the radio and control panel underneath it which was corrected by a couple updates. It had something to do with the Apple car play. Otherwise, I love driving the Gladiator and get a ton of compliments on it. I was lucky because it already had a lot of upgrades done to it that I didn't have to make! For example, it has a lift kit, 37" tires, 20" black wheels to name a few. I am definitely glad I bought it. I also enjoy your channel and keep up the good work.

The most wear an engine endures is on startup. Now with a start-stop feature, it starts and stops at every stop sign and red light you encounter. They have done this for emissions reasons and it is such a bad idea for the engine's longevity too complex for my taste, especially with something that is supposed to be "offroad tough" and capable. Jeep used to be tough when it was a Willys Jeep back in the military days, they were simple field-ready, and easy to fix, but those days are long gone. They are great-looking trucks there is no arguing that it looks good that's it. Stellantis knows how to market to people who don't understand nor care cause they won't keep it long enough to deal with the problems. Let's see that truck at 300k if it goes that far. My 2 cents.

The auto stop/start problem extends across the spectrum of JK and JL Jeeps. In fact I have an appointment with the dealer for my 2020 JL tomorrow. I have come to the opinion that they don't have a clue why the function does not work properly. The dealer just got a "new" battery tester and now they are going to fix it. Various users will swear that the main and aux batteries both need to be changed and there is a school of thought that the IBS module is the problem. I believe it is a combination of all three. The Intelligent Battery Sensor needs to be "trained" over several daily ignition start/stop functions with eight hour off periods. When the dealer changed the IBS module they told me that the AUX battery was only charged to 57% but would recharge over time. My suspicion is that the IBS module is keeping the AUX battery from getting a full charge. The auto start/stop may work for a few days then quit. A 140 mile drive yesterday had the auto start/stop working last night but I suspect it won't work today! Will keep you posted!

Love my '21 Rubicon Gladiator, it has been very good from day 1, no issues. That is, up until I installed a set of larger (Quadratec Hard Rock 17" X 8.5" wide) aftermarket wheels with 35" tires (B.F. Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2). From the on-line company I ordered the package from, the balance job they did was terrible. Took it to the dealer I purchased the Jeep from to have all 4 rebalanced and they are still bad. Issue appears to be mostly in the rear. May have to try to find a tire shop that can do a better job.

My dad bought a new 1974 Jeep J10 back when I was 15. That was one cool truck. I have a 1976 Jeep CJ-5, it is not stock, almost every part on it has been replaced. I've set it up several different ways in the past 25 years I've had it. I would never buy a truck or car with a computer in it. I spent 41 years as a government fleet services mechanic working on that trash. Constant problems with the computer electronics. We would have seven or eight vehicles a day come in with the check engine light on, but still running fine. But being a government department, we had to fix it. We spent more time diagnosing and repairing things that made the check engine light come on than just about anything else. Huge expense to the taxpayers, and whoever brought the vehicle in had to go without it until it was fixed. Often vehicles would come in for routine service with the check engine light on. Whoever that vehicle had been assigned to knew if they brought it in just for that light knew they would probably be without the vehicle for a couple of days, and unable to do their job. We did have a few loaner vehicles (older vehicles that would have been turned in for auction) but we saved them for employees of other departments to use while their vehicle was being worked on if they really needed it. I stick with carbureted vehicles only, and they have been nearly 100% reliable. Plus you can work on them without thousands of $$$ worth of diagnostic equipment and vehicle specific software.

My Mojave has these issues that are very annoying and maybe a headache for others. Key fob constantly opening the flip up key and also the red emergency Button will sound the alarm just by bending over. The tailgate doesn't notify you if it's down when you forget to put it up.and you drive off. LED headlights are blinding others and I'm always getting revenge blindness from angry motorists.

I was divided between the Gladiator (MT) and the Tacoma Off Road (also MT). The risk of death wobble and fracturing clutch plate caused me to shy away from the Gladiator. The Tacoma is allocated and will hopefully be built before too long.

traded in my 2021 gladiator 3.6l for a 2022 Tacoma trd. Sad to say my biggest pet peave is a fracking gladiator gets better MPG then a toyota product, That's really really messed up when jeeps are more fuel efficient. great truck but over 70k cnd i was expecting not to have a 2nd mortgage to drive the damn thing.

The only problem with the stop start is it uses a lawnmower battery. Delete the lawnmower battery and disable auto stop start and your truck will be trouble free.

Great video, I'm picking up my 2023 Mojave this Wednesday to use for surf fishing in the Outer Banks. Hopefully I won't have any issues. Luckily my friend owns the dealership, so if problems arise, I'll be taken care of hopefully. On a different topic, I paid 64 out the door, for everything, loaded except front camera. Is that a decent price?

I think he hit the nail on the head. There are tons of jeeps. Look for problems and you’ll find em. I’ve never had a serious problem with a jeep. I had 2 engines replaced on warranty in a single Tacoma and a buy back on a troublesome sienna. And as for an ESS “problem” it’s always one of three things. Ground, battery or health indicator. There are lots of problems to be had with an electronic vehicle.

I'm sorry a check engine light coming on and never actually finding out what the actual issue and saying the gladiator isn't reliable is not acceptable. Dude a check engine light can come on if you leave your fuel cap off and drive the vehicle. It could have been something stupid simple. Now my 2020 gladiator had alot of real issues, the transfer case had a leak, the rear lock solenoid failed, the infotainment failed and the back window leaked. Those are real issues but I still bought another one🤣 I love them as well.

I have the 20 21 Mojave and it is constantly giving me the auto stop/start light being on. They have replaced the batteries and the car only has 6 K miles. I have to take it in again for the same problem and I have put on less that 1 K since the last time. Also the rear headliner is falling down. I love the truck, but there are a few problems with it

I have a ‘21. No problems, just one quirky thing that I’ve noticed. When I start it up and put it in reverse (or manually put on the backup camera), the zoom feature is set to zoom OUT and is naturally grayed out because the camera is already zoomed out by default. If I turn the engine off and then restart it, the zoom IN feature will work. Does anyone else have this issue?
