Love what you guys did to the Rubicon, looks like a military vehicle

I can’t wait to buy a diesel gladiator in 15 years when they’ve depreciated enough to actually be worth the money 😍

"My favorite part is this 8.4 inch uconnect screen...it's quick to respond".
Screen "Please wait"

Still not bad for the first pass at this vehicle. I see it getting better as it matures.

What do you call a happy Roman???? A GLADIATOR! Get it?

[glengardner]

Very thorough as per your usual. I really enjoy your videos, full of great information.

The Gladiator, is certainly a specialized vehicle. Not really for towing, can't really haul a lot in the tiny bed, not built for speed, but it will rock crawl, and climb and off road... not really practical for urbanites, but we all still want one! Hahaha.

You need a Bestop Sunrider top, I use mine so often because it's so easy to open and enjoy the outside.

Had mine for 7 months and 9, 200 miles so far. I absolutely love the thing

[cjruizgta]

Lol can’t say it’s a really reliable only after 5k miles

[mixflip]

love jeeps but c'mon jeep....you know that just wrong.

I agree with you guys on the headlights as I have bought the Gobi as well. I am 6’ 2 and as for my 2020 the front driver seat for me is perfectly fine. I suppose this is a preference among personal comfort. Being a 16 year military veteran along with PMC work, I have definitely had much more uncomfortable seats than my Jeep has. I have added $5, 500 in extras to mine as well. I love how these are blank canvases that you can personalize and make them your own. The only issue I had after putting the oversized 35s on was a little rubbing on tighter turns than normal even with the 3 inch Skyjacker kit. I cured that by installing spacers. I replaced the standard dim yellow headlights with the more capable HID headlights. However, I would have thought for the $52, 995 value it would have had a few things standard that it didn’t come with when I purchased it. ***The lower cost was with employee pricing currently going on as of 07/04/2020)*** Overall I love my Jeep Gladiator. With so many aftermarket parts on the market one can get pretty expensive if you haven’t thought or planned out exactly what you want to do with the Gladiator. I started off with a budget and worked the parts from their. I came in just south of what my ceiling was. I hope all of you have a great 4th of July. God bless the United States of America!

I think I’ve needed to this type of content for the Gladiator. Seems like it’s still relegated to 3rd vehicle option and weekend fun. Thanks guys!

You need to be rocking 42" tires just to deal with that break over angle once you start to really get into it.

[jeepsandevs]

Y'all need to put led headlights and running lights on it. It looks odd as is with all those led pods

[losttribe]

Looks awesome guys and thanks for your honest review. Though, with the longer wheel base, I’d be nervous to have the spare tire underneath while off roading on the tougher trails.

Comparing the Gladiator (Rubicon) to the Power Wagon, you get front and rear locking diffs, sway bar disconnect. In the Power Wagon, you get a Warn Winch, more horsepower, better storage space, and just a monster of a truck...for near the same price as a Rubicon. And the PW is a highly capable off road truck!

[MP_-ekij]

Great video! surprised that at this price range you get crappy headlights since it’s built for off-road. You would think jeep would want you to have the best visibility at night while off roading especially at 55k+

"Offers a lot for the money"

WHAT? I'm so confused.

[Hoopsterbob]

The driver size and seat adjustments for me are ok and I’m 6’ 4” tall. I worried based on this review if I would fit ok and it’s way more comfortable than a Tacoma. What I don’t like on long drives is the steering wobble. I have a Ford 250 and it drives straight without effort. This seems to take more active steering to keep it going down the road.

[wickedleeloopy]

Drinks fuel like a cow drinking water, accelerate like an elephant, handles corners like a fainting goat and cost as much as a rhino.... thats a PASS for me.
