Great content
By far the most honest review I've ever watched! I appreciate your enthusiasm. I love my Rubicon Gladiator! So fun! Liked and subscribed!
Thank you!
They are great vehicles :)
New subscriber here! Thank you for your honest review. Me and the wife just got a gladiator Willy’s a few weeks ago and we love it! The only problem is we argue with who gets to drive it 😂 Will probably end up buying another so both of us have one😊
Thanks for the comment!
Congratulation on the Willy’s!
They are a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy yours!:)
The camera man holding the teleprompter (or bullet point list) is genius
Hahah thanks xD
I thought only Joe O'Biden needed a Q-card? 🤣
Pretty color. I like the tan & also the green.
😂 I caught that as well lol. C’mon Camera Hubby……lol
Nice looking rig, love the color. Had my JT for 3 months now and really enjoy it. No leaks or problems. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the comment!
I am sure you will love it, They are a lot of fun!:)
No leaks for three, THREE MONTHS!!!! WOAH! That's Toyota quality!!!! XDDDDD
Beautiful Gladdy, love your color and the sarge green!!!
I just bought a 2021 gladiator willys yesterday. Thanks for the review.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great edition !:)
Well done honest review! I wanted to get one but the dealership didn’t have the gator green. You could really tell how you love having the gladiator! Jeep on and happy trails.
Thanks! 😃
For tall folks install the seat jackers from Desert Does it and it makes an incredible difference. A dead pedal is a must have as well and helps with comfort for long trips and as a foot support on trails. Love your truck- the Gobi color kills. I have the Mojave in Snazzberry - love,love,love the gladiator.
Thanks for the comment!
I definitely need to get the dead petal!!
Being 6'6" i went and bought them when i saw your comment. Hopefully they work!
Nice. Glad you’re loving it. There are after-market solid storage panels to replace the nets that you can get. I’ll be at year 2 this July and loving mine. 46K miles on mine.
Thanks will definitely look into that! Hopefully I don’t need them but we will see :)
@@Jkp564 so far. 48K miles in a little less than 2 years including offroading and no issues. Knock on wood.
Nice video fun and informative, very cool Jeep Gladiator, pretty color. Thank you
Thank you :)
We absolutely love ours too! We have a 22 Altitude.
Thanks for the comment, Glad you love your jeep!:)
Great video! thanks for sharing your experience! i love my JT Sport, best Jeep i ever had, and, btw, they are really rare in Germany😂
Thanks for your comment!
When we first got the jeep in late 2020 they were kinda rare here, Now they are everywhere!
I imagine they are rare in Europe due to import costs unfortunately.
:)
lol the camera man with the bullet points or teleprompter is the reason why I'm subscribing lol. 😂
Dang reflection! Hahah
I love the color. A friend bought one in this color two months ago.
Thank you we love the color too!!:)
I use my door nets all the time. 3yr old 2022 Gladiator Rubicon. Bought it in November 2019 as the 2020 model. The nets go back to form even after 3 years of use. I use them daily, but once they are empty and after a day or so, they are back to normal with no bulges.
Hi,
Thanks for the comment, I am glad to hear they are holding up for you! They must have improved the design over the older JK model jeeps!:)
Nice truck ! Good review. Thanks 👍
Thanks for the comment!:)
As far as the emergency brake lever being in the center and a pull handle , has saved me a accident in the snow one day going to work I started to slide down the hill and put on the brakes made the truck slide and wanted to spin around and applying the e brake a little bit and then it straightened out the truck and I was good , just like a big truck and trailer will do this used the trailer brakes to slow down on a steep hill that has snow on it I’m talking about two or three inches of snow . I had to do this technique a few times in my Jeep Liberty
That is a good point :)
Thank you!
:)
I agree with the color. We have a Gobi willys but with the soft top. Also has a manual, but I have driven a manual all my life so I can milk it pretty well regarding the gas mileage. I'm 6 4 and still am comfortable. This is my daily driver and enjoy not having to worry about scrapes and scratches etc. I just wish it had a V8, cmon jeep! Nice review!
Nice!! The manual is cool I normally drive a 98 wrangler manual. I would love to see how the manual feels on the truck I will have to test drive one sometime!
Great job!😊
Thank you :)
Great video! I have a very sneaky back window leak that I only discovered after lifting the backseat after a rainstorm. Just something to look out for. Mine is a 2020 with 35k miles.
I actually had my rear window fail..
I made a video on that too.
They removed the window and replaced the seal
Broke a peice of trim but replaced everything
All warranty but was still a pain to deal with…
@@SteverGarage totally understand. I'm currently going through the warranty process on that.
Hopefully they order you a new glass (they did for me) cause I guess the glass almost always breaks upon removal
Mine was replaced by a glass shop (dealership set all that up)
Does not leak now tho!!:)
@@SteverGarage fingers crossed!
I've towed my 4 place snowmobile trailer with my sarge green Willy's Jeep gladiator with the manual transmission and it tows it just fine.
Love to hear it! :) the extra towing capacity over the wrangler is definitely a selling point
great video
Referring to vertical adjustment.
Nice Jeep, greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks for the comment!! :)
Do an ownership review of the 98' jeep too!! Nice video. :) I just purchased my dream wrangler, but already experiencing a leak problem! :(
I will!! Thanks!
What year is your jeep?
Leaking from the top?
@@SteverGarage it’s a 2022 with the power roof. It is slowly leaking on the drivers side roof/roll bar area. :( we just got it last month. It is under warranty but things take so long to even get looked at here.
Just bought a 2023 Gladiator Willys in Bright White, Love it 🤩✌️
Nice! I am sure you will love it! :)
Delayed takeoff at lights, turn off the auto stop, so it doesn't have to restart before it takes off.
It doesn’t bother me too much. But it can be turned off by tazor we tend to just leave it on
New to your channel, I just got myself a gladiator sport a few months ago. I am surprised at your fuil mileage as I get about 20.2 mpg in town and I am getting 27.6 mpg down the freeway. As for the silly door nets, Amazon sells a hard plastic pice that fits there instead of the net.
Congratulations on the new jeep!
The fuel economy really depends on where your driving. We get a lot better on free way but through town it drops a lot. Additional the rubicon MT tires do not help hahah.
@@SteverGarage
Thanks, I have to admit, the street tires probably do help with fuil mileage.
She will not have saggy door nets! 😂 Love your review. Thanks
They are the worst hahah
My only gripe about my gladiator rubicon is the driver's seat won't stay adjusted all the way up like i want it. I have to frequently readjust it.
Weird! Like forward to back (closer to steering wheel)
or back recline?
👍👍👍
Look up videos for taking the nets out.. I'm sure I've seen some from my wrangler jl.
Thanks :)
👍👍✌️
I want one so bad
They are a lot of fun!
DO IT! I said the same thing since I 1st saw it.... I did it.... NO REGRETS!!
I love the cameraman with notes to cover. Ha
Hahah ya the reflection got me
I just purchaes a 2020, and its black which i love, but yours os so much prettier.
Black looks great too! :)
What Size engine I'm getting my 2023 gladiator tomorrow it has the v6 3.6 litter
Ours has the 3.6 v6:)
am thinking of getting one for me. But I think the eco diesel is the way to go simply because of the mpg. I think jeep needs to step it up with more engine options. I would use this for off roading and for my hunting vehicle.
I hope to see all engine options for wrangler be available for gladiator as well.
392, 4xe, eco diesel all should be options :)
I have a question I was thinking of getting a used one2020 How dependable are they
We have had no reliability issues!
Minor issue with a rear window leaking but it was warranted:)
Nobody Ever Appreciates the Cameraman an the work they have to do, such as hold up Cue Cards and Fix them with their nose! but a shout out to Derek! well done!
Awww..Happy for you..and great choice on the color...Jeeps are notorious for Bad Fuel Mileage! and gets much worse when more stuff is added..Diesel gets better MPG but costs more to fill up..and believe me Diesel brings a whole can of more problems with it than what you would save in fuel ( DEF )...NOW go get that thing Dirty!!!!
Hahaha thanks for noticing the struggle!
We do love the color! We have seen afew out there that are also Gobi but not too many. :)
10 years in my jk no leaks
How did you back into something if you have a back up camera?
Let me borrow your keys and I will show you 🤨
Did it come with the flag detail on the side?
No we added that decal ourselves :)
gobi gladdy daddy here.. 2022, 3 months in my wife got pee'd on because I did not take care installing the freedom panels in the .. correct? order? which for my observation is.. pass side first, then carefully put the driverside on being careful not to overlap the rubber bits. since then , i've not had any issues with her or me being pee'd on. rain is the only time it happens, like braking while its raining. stationary in a carwash even before i realized how i was doing it wrong was not an issue for me.
I have not had an issue with the freedom panels. I have however had an issue with the rear window leaking and we are getting that looked at very soon :)
I believe there is drains in those panels so if it’s dumping water on you like that I would check that the little drains are not clogged :)
To fix the power issues you should get an eco diesel. I love the 442 torque
I haven’t got to try a diesel yet. Did get to try the 4xe with the 2.0 turbo and electric motor and that one was amazing
But they only currently offer that in wrangler :/
If you can find one. Slim pickings. I was going to get a TRD Pro, but the only one in a 500 mile radius was the solar octane color, which is hideous. Almost still got it and was just going to wrap it right away. But, ended up going 2022 Gladiator Rubicon. I would absolutely have gotten the eco diesel, but I they didn’t have any, nor were any available at any other dealerships. Suppose if you want to wait a while. I unfortunately could not for tax reasons.
Have y'all noticed the black top to be hot inside during the Summer?
No not really. It is pretty well insulated :)
@@SteverGarage Thanks
Mine is white on the inside. No issues with it being hot. The dealer did tell me to expect it to be colder in winter.
@@SteverGarage Just bought a white 2023 Mojave a couple of months ago with black cloth seats and the black top and no headliner. I really like it. I thought the roof would be hot but it's barely noticeable. A couple of other things. I've gotten into the habit of immediately turning off the auto stop/start as it was annoying. I have about 1,000 miles so far and am getting pretty bad mileage (12-13 mpg). The most surprising thing is how comfortable it rides and how easy it is to drive. I'm also a hunter and have taken it to the woods 4 or 5 times. It's been amazing on forest service roads and terrible logging roads. The stock tires have performed well. I'm not risking the brilliant Mojave suspension with a lift and big tires, etc. It's totally unnecessary for my use and I'm not looking to attract more attention. It's cool enough stock! LOL
I have two children. Is this vehicle big enough for the whole family?
Yes! Can fit 5 people
4 comfortable adults
The cheapest mod you can do with the most bang is a K&N air filter I got two mpg more and more power for 60.00 $$$ you will notice it.
Thanks for the comment! Will have to look into that!:)
I dont like the foot E-Brake because a passenger can not stop the car.
What year is this
2020:)
13 miles to the gallon? What? I just bought a 2022 Rubicon yesterday. I thought I’d be getting 17 in the city? Please don’t make me wish that I had gone with the TRD Pro. Even the Colorado ZR2 gets far better gas mileage, which all three were basically a tossup for me.
Good mpg in freeway
Bad in city
Hey! We sincerely look for a collaboration with you! Are you interested in trying our Jeep Gladiator custom seat covers?
Hi, we would be more then happy to try your seat covers!
@@SteverGarage Hi~Is there another way that we can contact with you to send you more details?
you can reach me at stevergarage@gmail.com :)
@@SteverGarage Hi~We sent an email to you! Please check it out.
LOL you emphasized the awesomeness of the back up camera yet you totaled another vehicle and bashed into a cement pole backing up! Oh the irony. Good video tho as I am considering buying one. Gladiator being second choice to a Bronco but the upcharges and availability of them bring the Gladiator to the forefront...
Hahah backup camera is only helpful if you use it I suppose! XD
Both are great options in there own right! Any reason it’s between gladiator and bronco rather then wrangler vs bronco?
:)
@@SteverGarage Honestly, I don't care for Wranglers. I like the Gladiator because it's "different". I drove a HUMMER H2 for 11 years and the Bronco reminds me of that styling. I do miss the HUMMER...
Useless review. Ride quality? Any issues with the drive train? Electronic issues? How many miles on it? Girl reviews am I right?
😅 I am sorry you felt it was useless.
Go test drive one, rides like a body on frame solid axel but better then previous generation wranglers, stiffer then most wranglers feel.
No issues with drive train no electronic issues
Backup camera clip failed they replaced it it free and rear window started to leak they replaced it free
I think 30,000 miles now
Fiat Junk.
Do you have a car brand you prefer ?:)
@@SteverGarage
Toyota,Honda,Ford but not all years & models of those brands.
A long list I avoid with anything from the Stellantis group (Chrysler,Jeep,Fiat,etc.) at the top.
What a helpful comment. Not.
