Testing the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon at Hot Springs Off Road Park

  • Moving from a JKU Rubicon to a Gladiator Rubicon definitely has some differences that need to be worked out. In just 2 weeks we are heading to Moab to run the hardest trails it offers so I needed some time to learn more about how it handles on the rocks especially when it comes to breakover and departure angles. Hot Springs Off Road Park was the perfect place.

  • @billredding2000
    @billredding2000 3 роки тому +3

    Nice to see what the Gladiator can do (VERY off-road capable, as expected)...but I just won't be doing that in mine: For me, trails rated easy/moderate are fine. Otherwise, I'll mostly be on forest/fire service roads as they nearby just outside the city in the foothills...the more serious trails/passes are quite a drive away in the mountains.
    But soon, I need to take a long road-trip (~2K miles round trip) to another state, so I'll see how it does with that handling/seat-comfort-wise, and as well, see what "real world hwy MPG" (at least on the freeway/Interstate) turns out to be.

      Hello Stephen. I am also running 3.73’s and I have a LSD rear axle. Also a good practice to learn is wheeling with both feet…it’s a lot easier on your body…I don’t do it all the time and when I don’t, I am quickly reminded I should be.
