I've had numerous problems with my 21: front shocks replaced as they were creaking badly, rear window replaced, valve cover gasket leak, and so on. Typical Stellantis crappy quality
Swapped my 20 JTR for a 23 JTM... Not disappointed at all... Mojave needs eff'n 5 point harnesses it performs so well at top speed .. driver and passenger cant handle what its capable of with out being locked in tight .
Got mine Saturday, and it was in the shop Sunday. I haven't been able to find a lot on 2024 issues but I have not had luck so far. Until I was stranded, I loved it.
The manuals were recalled over clutch fire concerns. but the ZF8 used in the Automatic gladiator is widely regarded as a dependable and well-designed transmission that has been in production since 2008 with incremental refinements over the years
The '23 Gladiator is better. Way cheaper, just as smooth, no lame antenna in the windshield, has most of the stuff you mentioned except the rear cupholder and wider screen.

I’ve had two Rubicons and beat them hard off-road! Flawless. The fit and finish is surprisingly good and even after some serious rough roads, not a single squeak or rattle. I think if you bought one, you would be pleasantly surprised!

Yeah, but I only paid 43K for my 61K MSRP 23 Gladiator "Freedom Edition" pretty loaded... AND, I prefer the 8.4 screen over the new one... Other than that? not much difference.

There is more leg room, better interior, infotainment is better, better insulation etc. I paid 43k in 21 for a willys. I paid 39k weeks ago for a 2024 willys, with a standard rear locker and aux switches and all that safety stuff haha. There's a big difference imo. I think most critics were crying about the lack of a new engine. But the 3.6 is reliable and better than a 4 imo. but congrats on the "Freedom Edition". I'll have to check it out.
They really improved the Willy's package. You actually saw a healthy actual real reduction in price for more stuff with that. Where did they get the leg room? AND, I did notice that they gave the Willy's edition more actual 4WD capabilities and the aux switches. I'm mixed on the safety stuff but do like a blind spot monitor, I do NOT have. I've wanted one since they came out but never liked the prices (like the price of your first Willy's) until I was able to get 30% off. And the one I got checked all my important boxes like the auto 4WD and limited slip diff you can't get with a locker. So, I'll sacrifice more 4WD capability for that. Montana roads in winter are...interesting. I'm not gonna do fins and things anymore... Mostly Montana loose rocks and dirt. But I was looking at Mojaves... I found the perfect one of those at my price but, then realized it had the manual tranny and a lot of the reviews on those turned me off. I'm old, done with clutches if possible. That and the "limitations" of my 2500 as in being a true gas guzzling beast but perfect for towing a travel trailer, made the difference. Plus all the 4WD trails within 30 minutes I could never go on. I had hoped the 2500 with 4WD package would do it but no, too frigging big.

@@Redfour5 I think they raised the wheel or pushed the seat back some. There is a noticable difference in leg room especially under the wheel. My legs dont rub the wheel when getting in or out.
I have 21 Gladiator with over 43,000 miles. I have not had any problems at all. I enjoy driving my Gladiator on a daily basis.

I have a 2024 with 20 miles and i am going to love it for alot more😂
My 2021 Gladiator Rubicon has 17,000 miles. I drive her daily and LOVE it!
I drove one for the first time this week. I didn't expect to like it but was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable and smooth driving it is.
I own a 20 Gladiator and love it. It's been an awesome vehicle.
just got a gladiator rubicon for under 50k out the door... still in shock
The Gladiator is the best Mid-Size truck in my opinion for so many reasons…
Just purchased a Nighthawk 😊 sweeeeeeet ride!
I couldn’t agree more. It’s a surprisingly good truck and it’s a jeep on top of it.
I have a 2021 with 70k miles !

rubicon ? mojave ?
How’s the transmission 🤣
The manuals were recalled over clutch fire concerns. but the ZF8 used in the Automatic gladiator is widely regarded as a dependable and well-designed transmission that has been in production since 2008 with incremental refinements over the years
The 8-speed Automatic is a remarkable transmission! Seriously amazing. Probably best auto in the business
@@DUNEATV The general consensus says it likely is the best, and well-suited to the V6 gas Pentastar power curve.

@@billredding2000 I’ve owned two Rubicon and I could tell you that’s exactly right!
I like it but chose the Colorado..Gladiator was just a bit too pricey

I loved the design. I wondered about QC and the death wobble. I hear mixed reports on reliability.

Honestly it’s probably a lot of after market people, they mess with stuff then blame Chrysler

Is that white one your's Dave?
I'm a car reviewer. This is a press loan.
Oh ok Dave. I thought you owned the Tesla you reviewed
Solid front Axel is a deal breaker for me.

Cool!
Love the stream coming out of the engine in the last part, yes I waited to see if it burst into flames. Great review!
sorry, but I have a 2021 80th white ECODIESEL (👍💪🏁🤩🥰) and I would never swap it for a petrol one equipped with a 12" screen😉
I would have never gotten the Eco-Diesel...so it makes us even.
