    For the keyless unlock, there is an option in your vehicle settings to unlock driver door, or all.

      yea go to uconnect and settings and doors or locking settings and you can change the behavior. Mine came set to unlock all doors and I have changed it to unlock just the one door for safety reasons.. but its so goddamn inconvenient because there is not double touch option that i'm going to change it back. annoyingly you can touch the passenger door no matter the setting to unlock all doors

    Keep your eye on the paint blistering issue. It’s not a matter of “if” but more a matter of “when”. Our ‘19 Rubicon had paint blistering on the hood and all 4 doors at 20k miles. 4 month wait on the dealer appointment and then in the body shop for 26 days. Jeep still has not addressed the underlying issue. Instead they just fix them. Unfortunately after 5 years, it’s on your own dime and the issue will come back.

      I'm a Rubi here and my two biggest complaints is the hoot post, this isn't 1945 gas hood struts or even spring ones should be standard. I get that the top comes off, but they need to have a small unpluggable motor to allow for the rear slider to be opened with a switch.

    I highly recommend getting the Tazer Mini for your Gladiator! It has so many amazing functions that make your everyday use of the Gladiator much more enjoyable. It also has a function that allows the bed and reverse lights to turn on, and stay on for 30 minutes by just using your key fob to do so.

    The fan speed in my Bronco does the same thing when on the highway. The faster you go, the harder the air comes out the vents. Don’t know why that happens.

      Ya I hear that, I’m waiting to see if the new 2024 model will have the same refresh as the wranglers got. Personally I prefer the round vents and smaller screen for aesthetic purposes but I get that they are trying to be more competitive with the new bronco and 4Runner models.

      I actually had to take the gladiator in to the dealer and they gave me a JL wrangler Sahara to drive for the day. The leather seats in that vehicle were so much harder and more uncomfortable than my cloth ones for whatever reason. Maybe the leather has less give and that’s why it seems that way but it was a noticeable difference. I actually really like the cloth seats and how they fit compared to the leather ones at least lol

      No you can’t. You can change the fob to unlock all doors at once then your handle does the same thing. I get that.

      Ya but like I mentioned I don’t want it unlock every door on fist touch just like the fob it should have two stages. Drives door then all doors. If you go directly to the passenger side and not driver then it always unlocks all doors. I just think you should have that feature just like the fob not have to pick one or the other

I also have a gladiator, and I have also had a fix for some of these things. I also learned somethings from this video and the comments. I read my manual the minute I got home. I still have annoyances, like the beeping when you have the key in your pocket and you exit the vehicle while its on. Annoyingly, also, when you have the driver door on and plugged in and you are in drive or reverse.... the car stops moving... i'm sure for safety....but you can unplug the door.. and remove the door... and drive in forward or reverse with NO DOOR and the vehicle has no issue... nevermind that you can have any and all doors open and in forward or reverse..... and the vehicle is fine. ..... but the driver door... THAT IS A NO GO! This is a wonderful vehicle and incredible to drive/be driven in... but fuck there are some idiot things about it.

      Not sure how electronics make it less of a Jeep? I have a TJ I wheel every weekend and I think the new JL and JT are awesome improvements. They still have all the things that make it a true Jeep in my eyes from solid axles, a true manual shift transfer case, lockers and all the suspension and important components underneath have been beefed up. The stock steering on my gladiator is twice the size of my Currie heavy duty steering upgrade kit. I think they’re definitely going in the right direction.
