  • Well y'all, we hit a pretty big milestone on the Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel this past weekend! 50,000 miles, which means its time for a review. On this episode, I take you back to how the Jeep started and then walk you through a front to back review of everything that I love, and dislike, about my 2021 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel. Please consider supporting the channel and future Life Outdoors adventures by picking up some merch from my store! Hope y'all enjoyed the video and I'll catch you on the next one!

      @@LifeOutdoors I think the key is regular maintenance. I do my own oil, change transmission service, fuel filter replacement and a few other things. Yeah I pay a little bit more cause I do it more often. It’s better for turbo for sure.

    I already have 10,000 miles on my 2022 Jeep Gladiator ecoDiesel. Loving it a lot. The sound and the power is so good. Im running 37's and it has no issues pooling itself. Still waiting on the fuel pump to be replaced.

    Love my 2023 Eco diesel. Make sure and run a fuel additive that lubricates the fuel pump or you’ll be killing it again. Redline 85+, arch oil makes one hot shots, EDt , power service. These are the best ones I’ve found.

    Great review, I’ve been thinking about starting to look for an eco diesel gladiator, this was really comprehensive! For the tires and mpg, are those 35s? And what would you say is the range for a full tank? Also do you think you’d do an interior review, have you made any mods to the interior yet besides wiring or switch panels?

    • @LifeOutdoors
      @LifeOutdoors  Місяць тому

      Appreciate that! They are 35's (35x12.5R17) and the fuel range depending on the type of driving I'm doing is right around 400 miles. As for the interior, I havent done much at all because I came from a wrangler JK and the JT felt like such a big interior upgrade that it really hasnt been necessary to change. I can do a walk through of my storage spaces and what I'm using them for at some point down the road. Thanks for watching!

    How does that tent overhanging past the tailgate bother you or not bother you? I may end up the same way 🤔I have the mid-height Hooke road bed rack

    • @LifeOutdoors
      @LifeOutdoors  Місяць тому +1

      Honestly it's not too big of a deal to me. I cant say I love it but it does start to act as a nice little rain cover when cooking on the tailgate below it. Overall I wish it wasn't there but it's only a slight inconvenience!

    My 2022 Ecodiesel Rubicon is at 62k miles. I also average 22mpg. No problems with it so far. Just one minor thing: my DEF gauge for some reason only goes up to 75% even when the DEF tank is full.
