My Glad launch edition drives great....no wobble on the surprised by how good it drives on the highway....75-80 MPH no issue

[michaelruiz]

That last comment made the video lmao😅

[dancobin]

Yes. I went from ND to MD to pick mine up. Trip home was great!

[ryannewazada]

Good to know. Long drives is a big factor in having those long rides of comfort.

[yesenialove]

I love my overland gladiator I do a lot long trips distance, two kids my wife and myself + gears, no problems at all!

[erniearruda]

Here in southern Ontario we have the same weather and temperatures you have in southern Texas 20 degrees Celsius probably 75 for you 🥵past our temperature records, not normal for end of March, normally 8 degrees Celsius. But to answer your question yes the glad is good for long distance driving, softer ride. Better then my wife’s Jeep Cherokee 🇨🇦👍🏻👍🏻

[jaxwagn]

Love driving mine. I have not been on a trip yet but my windy country roads are kinda fun too. It handles great and comfy while doing it!

[mercurycougar]

Rob, see the Red Bear Gladiator, for Easter Jeep Safari. With OEM Half Doors!!

[jeeper]

i love my Max tow Gladiator..and you are right it is a real good long distance driver...i do have a 2.5 lift and 35s and get about 14 around town and 21+ - on the roads out here in So Cal

[motorhead_jt]

I’m surprised by the power. When I first got mine with 30 or so miles on it, the highway acceleration seemed almost absent past 70mph. I guess I was babying it lol because now at 1100 miles, this thing moves when I need it to past 70 mph. This could also be testimony to the 8 speed as well.

[randallupton]

We have found it very comfortable making runs up to Ft Worth from the lower Rio Grande Valley [call it 500 miles each way] wife finds it much more comfortable than the Tacoma. As to visablity it is ok, worst I ever had was the FJ Cruiser could easily loose a suburban in it. Little more road noise especially in the wind [like today].

[samtheman]

Just watched new TFL walk around 2022 Nissan Frontier looks nice.

[theirthereandtheyre]

I had some wheels and tires in the bed. I noticed the how much the rear squats. I’ve got to remember it’s not a full sized truck. Will be interesting to see how it tows a utility trailer.

[justynesansoucy]

Thanks for the video man I got my gladiator about 3 months ago and love this thing. I have noticed though Atleast for me that when I’m on the highway and it’s windy outside it definitely throws the gladiator around a bit but nothing crazy. It was between a new ram or the gladiator and I can say I’m definitely glad I went with this our family loves it. Soon we will be taking it on a road trip from florida to Colorado so that will definitely be the test haha. Thanks again man take care!

[markr]

Planning to make Ohio to Nevada run later this year. Sounds like it’ll be fun. Will need to invest in a bed cover beforehand.

[buzzkillor]

WOW... do you live on the side of a mountain? 15 mpg mixed driving? just... WOW... cuz I DO live on the side of a mountain in a city... and I get 17-20

[ninja]

I drive it 500miles a week. It’s definitely not the best truck for highway driving. A lot of wind noise over the top (hardtop), steering isn’t spot on, but other than those two, it’s like any other truck. But if comparing to say a Tacoma or f150, the biggest difference is the yotA and ford are almost silent (new 2020+ trucks) and they drive straight without going side to side, the gladiator wonders a bit of compared to the other trucks.

[chrishunt]

Not to me, I wouldn't trade it for my Laramie. Ride doesn't compare.

[padrdh]

I’m still disappointed that my mileage isn’t better. I get just over 16mpg. I got that or a little better on my Ram 1500 4X4.

[howardmarshall]

You never talked about the steering on the highway. I’ve heard a lot about wandering, wobbling and vibration.
