This thing is going to sell well, especially in places like California, Florida, Atlanta, Vegas and even here in Michigan. You can take the top off and make it a convertible, tow a boat and throw crap in the bed for going out on the lake like coolers, water skis, inflatable tube etc. I have a feeling this will sell way better than even they anticipate. I was in Chicago last week and there was a guy with an all black Wrangler that was kitted out to the poser max, it even had jerry cans mounted all over the outside, all it was missing was a gun turret on the roof. Guys like him are going to go nuts with the Gladiator. LOL
It's also going to make a great stock overlanding vehicle. A lot of JK/JLs and overland trailers might end up flooding the market and replaced with Gladiators lol.
Gladiator is going to fly off dealer lots even with its high cost and markup's above MSRP. - Dad, all my friends and me love your Rubicon Gladiator, son you're going to a community college.
Give FCA/Jeep credit where's it's due...the public asked them to make this vehicle and they actually did it. And apparently from Tom's excellent review, they did a proper job of it too. People love to hate on FCA but when was the last time ANY automaker built something specifically asked for by their customers?
Just bought my Gladiator Rubicon Memorial Day, worth every damn dime! Why? Removable top and doors, go anywhere drivetrain, and it's a Jeep! I can't go anywhere without someone stopping me wanting to talk about it. I have to add 10mins to go get a gallon of mik.
I saw you yesterday on tv on NESN when Narvaez hit a home run for the Mariners vs the Red Sox ! was watching the game live from Quebec City , Canada...when I saw you I recognized your hairstyle ! ;-) Great video , as always , by the way !
Yup, that was me. And it was very hard to edit this video today with all of my friends and family emailing and texting me. It was his first hit as a Mariner. I think I'm going to give him the ball.
one of your better reviews by far... they way you remind everyone , " who what where an whys of trucks an jeeps...the short comings are what they are while conveying a sense of the Niche market The jeep pickup is without belittlement .. well done sir. Cheer's Allan " Deluxe Trabants with the astray"..
Well Done (as usual) Tom! Looks like this event had some inner kid fun moments ;-) The Ecodiesel will be a great addition! Should bring up the mpg considerably. Betting Towing limit will be similar with the 3.0 diesel.
That's what I wanted, but you can't get the front lockers and disconnecting sway bar. I settled for a slightly used granite grey rubicon. Really wanted the sarge green with the Manuel transmission, but in the end I'm really happy with it.
Thanks for the great review Tom. They are pricey and I bet the Rubicon will be 70 k by the time dealers get down with the mark ups. I imagine there will be a glut of Jeep trade ins when this hits the dealer lots.
So damn expensive. Looks fun but may be pricing yourselves out of quite a bit of sales markets. For example if it were priced the same as a wrangler rubicon at $50k I’d try to swing it. But that extra $10k is a deal breaker for me. And it will be for a lot of hard working middle class enthusiasts. Just my opinion.
Great review love the drive you did off road excellent but the price for fully equipped Rubicon way too expensive but it is about right for what you get
Great video as always. Thank you. It bugs me when products are given a year designation and are then sold the year before, at time long ago it made sense because the new models wasn't really available until the year which was stated or just before. Now as with pretty much everything it is marketing and not engineering/production that calls the shots and the year thing is getting worse, eventually we will start getting stuff in the shops which are made out to be for two years in the future.
There are reasons they did not do another Comanche. And that is because realistically they know they will never compete and or get the following that the F150 has. And from a production cost point of view, their factory that is already producing the JL does not have to make much of a tool change over to add on the cargo box. This Gladiator fad will come full circle and people that are not the fanatics will fall away and the fanatics will be a limited market. My prediction is in 5-10 years it will stop being made and they will be a collector item. And or a sought after item like the Comanche for enthusiasts to say they own one. The tech. in these machines are bad ass. There is no doubt they are very capable machines. Time will tell whether or not they will have the longevity of some their rivals.
Were those USB-C charging ports? They're rare enough that it would be great to note which cars have them. They can offer faster charging, and can (potentially) charge computers as well as phones/tablets.

jeep is like no other its the ultimate go anywhere do anything vehicle out there thats why they make more custom accessorys for jeeps than any other vehicles period. u can't compare any other vehicle to a jeep
In a different video they talked about cooling was a big factor in getting higher towing ability. I wonder why they only put the heat extractors on the hood of the Rubicon model? Maybe they only are good at slow speeds so they would not make a difference in towing at freeway speeds?
@@DrivenCarReviews I believe that was mentioned in the video about the bigger fan. It would be interesting to hear what the engineers have to say. I liked your review!
@@bikeryder757 I mentioned the larger grille slats, but left out the fan due to geek factor. My guess is the Rubicon gets hood vents because of the slow intense crawling it's designed for.

Great review Tom! Just a thought about your Roku app; could you make the videos come up from newest to oldest? It's kinda jarring to go into a subsection and the reviews seem to be completely randomly dated. Otherwise, the app is well done!
It's just starting so I'll see what the developers can do. Frankly, I didn't know it was live yet! Thanks for the heads up. I don't have a Roku. How many episodes are up?
@@DrivenCarReviews There are quite a few episodes, broken up by type of auto such as truck, sedan, electric, etc. The thing is that the videos don't come up latest to oldest, but with some random video. I think the truck video that first comes up is from 2015. As a viewer, I'd like to see the newest come up first and not have to search around for it. Hope that helps!
The area you were doing the test drive in looks like the foothills just above Sacramento which is where I live. I would have joined your rabid fan club at the event had I known you were in town. Seriously though- that looked like it had to be the most serious off road course ever at a press event- the way you were sliding down those rocks. While I'm no Chrysler fan if I could invest in a specific model- I'd bet quite a bit on this one. It checks a lot of boxes!
@@DrivenCarReviews Nice. I go through Cool often. That's crazy they sent you through an even tougher course with the Wrangler. The one in this video had me um... tightened up- just watching it.
You handle that track very well !! Tom. Did they really have to join the pickup truck segment though??. The design seems a little awkward only because of just seeing the wrangler body style forever now
Jeep is not known for quality, I simply can't wrap my head around charging $60,000 for a Jeep (pickup or not). You can get a fully loaded Toyota TRD for $50,000. It's a much much better pickup overall, and the quality is light years ahead. To bad...
@@bikebudha01 Sorry, I'm a huge Toyota fan but let's be honest, Toyota reliability applies to older land cruisers, trucks and maybe up to 4th gen 4runners, they aren't what they once were. In the northeast, both of all ages are going to have frame rot. Then again A TRD doesn't come with front and rear lockers either, might fit 35s stock but probably with rubbing and it's an IFS which not everyone likes. Add in the fact that the gladiator will be getting a diesel variant, and we will never see a Hilux/Surf in the US that isn't over 20 years ago and it becomes harder to logically argue for a Toyota over it and sounds more like blind fanboyism. (Which is fine, like I said I love yotas as well.)
I’m disappointed that the elephant in the room wasn’t mentioned. Abysmal 1 star NCAAP crash rating....yes it’s an off road vehicle but like you said most miles will be driven on the road. In today’s world 1 star is simply unacceptable.
Should have almost zero impact on Jeep sales as that’s not the buyer that buys something with a removable top and doors anyways. It’s more than safe enough.
Great review. When I was a young man I desperately wanted a Jeep. Never got one. Now comes the Gladiator, which comes close to fulfilling that dream. But today I'm much older (and only slightly wiser). I can't say I'd buy a car where i can remove the parts. And at the price? Makes it even more unlikely....
I think the most capable Honda vehicle that can boulder hop like the Jeep Gladiator is the Honda Passport. The Ridgeline can do it like you say, but many dismiss it as a crossover truck.
I would like to know where you’re finding a “well equipped” raptor for 60k lol. Your head was getting thrown around like a rag doll off-roading in this thing haha. Bronco seems better
Mixed feeling about it. The styling is clunky looking where it doesn't have enough of the retro cool factor. We can all agree we hate the hefty price tag. The fully loaded cost the same as a Ford Raptor...let sink that in for a moment....
Pretty sure they just pay the fines. Anyone who thinks a wrangler is worth $45000 and is paying for Jeep "quality" is paying for their carbon foot print
@@rightlanehog3151 yeah you're probably right but I also think you're paying the fines when you pay that much for a vehicle you know that the business execs aren't footing those fines themselves
Hey Tom may I know whatever happened between you and New York Times? I always thought it was such an amazing collaboration. Why did you decide to go separate ways?
You made a comment about how ancient the Tacoma and Tundra are. The engine in the Gladiator is as old as dirt. Fiat wiring design and built cheap. I am a Toyota fan,but I would buy a Ford before any Jeep. I love how Jeeps look. I want a truck/suv for long term. I was hoping for more. I will keep my Tundra TRD Pro.
If I were in the market for a pickup truck at this price range, I'd probably rather have the Raptor. I'm not sure I'd even test drive the Jeep. Aren't the crash tests expected to be horrible? And Fiat-Chrysler quality is questionable, too.
@@DrivenCarReviews Oh, maybe you were referring to the Pioneer name? Pioneer 1. a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area.

Yes, it still has a lot of play however
I absolutely love the aesthetics of this vehicle. Not many modern vehicles left that look like this.
Well Done (as usual) Tom! Looks like this event had some inner kid fun moments ;-) The Ecodiesel will be a great addition! Should bring up the mpg considerably. Betting Towing limit will be similar with the 3.0 diesel.
Let's hope the diesel version isnt a 5k option.
Lol, just watched Redline Review... and there they are again hanging out the window at 5:02
wow! I'd get a lower-price model with the manual. this bad boy looks like a LOT of fun.
That's what I wanted, but you can't get the front lockers and disconnecting sway bar. I settled for a slightly used granite grey rubicon. Really wanted the sarge green with the Manuel transmission, but in the end I'm really happy with it.
Excellent video , I have been wanting one since they premiered, I just like these , remind me of the Wild Kingdom shows I watched as a kid .
The way this review is laid out and written is a reminder how I became a subscriber in the first place. Awesome job 👏
"Going offroad in somebody's else vehicle" that's a good one😂

Tom Voelk = Anthony Bourdain of car review, the funny narrative.
Lets hope things end better for Tom than they did for A.B.
Thanks for the great review Tom. They are pricey and I bet the Rubicon will be 70 k by the time dealers get down with the mark ups. I imagine there will be a glut of Jeep trade ins when this hits the dealer lots.
A year later and pretty good discounts on them.

Great video. Question do you know if there is any sort of camper that can fit on this?
I don't. But if there isn't, I'm sure there will be. The aftermarket loves Jeep.
Can I just skip the Gladiator and take that perfect Comanche pickup?
Motorweek just released their Retro Review of it.
Yessss
There are reasons they did not do another Comanche. And that is because realistically they know they will never compete and or get the following that the F150 has.

I have a feeling a Comanche Pioneer is prone to issues just because of the name.
Daniel Gross I would also take Comanche for myself too.
Spaces spacers spacers lift lift lift tires tires tires. Well done !
"Are you not entertained?"
Damn, that was a missed opportunity.
I don’t think you get a fully loaded Raptor for less than 70k. Not 60k as you state.
I said "well equipped" which is true.
I love my 2020 Jeep Gladiator rubicon
I would only choose a Ranger for comfort if I knew that the Uber driver picking me up when my Ranger broke down had a comfortable ride
Never knew why the Wrangler even with a four cylinder was so tough on MPG; being so small
Picking mine up tomorrow!
Hope you weren't gouged $10,000. There are reports of that happening.
You should enjoy it! Thanks for the kind words.
I hope Jeep comes out with a Jeep Unlimited XL or something.
Where can you get a well equipped F150 Raptor for ~$60k? I’ll go pick it up today.
The Raptor starts at $53k and is already well-equipped at that price.
10:13 While the price is beyond high, $60K does NOT come close to buying a Raptor!
I think the overland looks better than the equivalent JL Sahara. I don’t know what it is.
The engine it’s ok for regular Jeep but not for pickup truck:( needs a twice the torque :) + with the same money and at least 9,000 LB to tow
You should do a podcast. Your more-than-academic interest in engineering and design could certainly lead to some interesting discourse!
Were those USB-C charging ports? They're rare enough that it would be great to note which cars have them. They can offer faster charging, and can (potentially) charge computers as well as phones/tablets.
Yes. FCA has been proactive with those.
Actually that's exactly what it is. A wrangler with a bed.

And it only has a 5 foot bed.
Does it have coil springs or leaves in the rear??
Rear is solid axle, link coil, trailing arms, track bar, coil springs, and stabilizer

No one cares about motor cycle, moped, or bicycle crash test ratings. Itll weed out some posers if anything.
Those ratings don't mean anything.
Much of the rating now depends on technology, such as lane keeping assist and blind spot warnings.
Should have almost zero impact on Jeep sales as that’s not the buyer that buys something with a removable top and doors anyways. It’s more than safe enough.
@ 7:00 no truer words :)
Great review. When I was a young man I desperately wanted a Jeep. Never got one. Now comes the Gladiator, which comes close to fulfilling that dream. But today I'm much older (and only slightly wiser). I can't say I'd buy a car where i can remove the parts. And at the price? Makes it even more unlikely....
I just realized how much it resembles the original Hummer H1 from the side view
Or how the original Hummer resembled all of the Jeeps before it...
Why is you hair always so good?
Because my friend Fred cuts it.
With only a 5 foot bed, I was hoping for some sort of Avalanche inspired pass through into the cabin. Kind of a bummer
Not giving it a pass, but the top is removable, not beyond the realm of possibility to just take the back window off and have it in at a slant.
