GAS MILEAGE & FUEL ECONOMY Jeep Gladiator Rubicon MPG

Arc Off-Road Door Hangers:

For one thing, we wanted to clarify that the Gladiator is rated for up to 17 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway, but naturally that's with the little PIZZA CUTTER TIRES that they come with stock, and not in below freezing temps like we did. We tried to make this test as accurate and normal as anyone would drive, the first test of the fuel economy for the Jeep Truck was mixed for 70 MPH, 55 MPH, and 45 MPH with some stop and go, but not a lot, also it was just over 100 miles total with wind speeds around 2 MPH. The truck has slush and ice all over it and of course thats not ideal.

Another thing we wanted to notate was, most people don't buy the Jeep Gladiator for the Fuel Economy, they buy it as a lifestyle vehicle, however most of us use this as our main vehicle for daily driving to work, school, church, the grocery store, and whatever else. Very few of us actually get to use our truck for only OFF-ROAD & RECREATIONAL USES.

Overall, its pretty impressive how well the Jeep did with the 35 inch mud terrain tires. We will also do this exact same test with the 33 inch Falken Wild Peak All Terrains, and then of course we will also do this test with the 37 inch KM3 Mud Terrains from BFGoodrich Tires, and then the 39 inch tires and 42 inch tires. Showing exactly what you're gonna lose with each increase in tire size.

Worse mileage too in the winter with cold weather gas. Probably a little better in the summer.

I just made a trip from Texas to Central Florida, 1000 miles pulling a 1949 Willy's pick up on a UHaul car hauler, I averaged 10.5 MPG driving 70 - 72 with 37 x 12.5 Patagonia M/T's. On the return trip, driving between 70 - 76 without the truck and trailer I averaged 17.5 MPG. I'm driving a Gladiator Rubicon automatic with a 1 1/2" leveling kit only, bone stock in the rear. Also need to mention this thing pulls like a dream!!!

I ordered my new rubicon on Saturday. I ordered a manual though. I plan on keeping it stock til next spring. Then I plan on 6 inches and 40’s and going to 4.88 or 5.13 gears.

I have a 2004 TJ Rubicon and it gets 17mpg at 70 as well (5spd manual). The thing that has always bothered me about jeep, is how the fuel economy tends to be the same, if not worse, than a full sized Truck with a V8 engine. My king Ranch 4x4 with the 5.4L also scored 17/18 mpg at 70mph. I have owned 14 Jeeps (still have 3) and just can't see paying the same price for a Gladiator as for a well equipped full sized Truck and then have to pay for a lift kit and tires to make it look good and increase performance. I love that Jeep came out with the truck, it's just way overpriced for what you get.

Not shabby for a rolling brick on big tires. Its a jeep if you want good mpg buy a Prius

[GuilhermeSilva-litj]

Your Jeep looks awesome. I also have a black gladiator. I bought those fuel wheels with the -12 offset, but mine sticks out almost 6”. How dis you managed to keep yours with that offset?

I build the front seats for this vehicle I told my wife I want to get one this summer. These videos are awesome .

Not sure if it’s said somewhere in the comments, but if you have your phone plugged in and using waze like such, it will always read the same thing your dash does.. if I plug mine it with my 22 Mojave and 35’s it read identical but if you unplug and just use your phone and gps mine is 5mph off which is the same thing a speed trap reads

I have a stock 2021 Gladiator Rubicon on 33" tires (that's stock) I have only had it a week and drive around the city within a few miles of my house, with no freeway miles at all and so far I'm averaging 14.7mpg its only been 230 miles of driving. FYI

[AlanTrades]

Why did you disable start stop. Is it bad for the longevity of the engine?

[JTRSpartacus]

Thanks! 35s are in my future. Great to see I can preserve some fuel economy.

[bobvedder]

I wonder if you put the truck into manual mode and shift into 8th gear will it work?

[jamesjannell]

Great looking truck. Really like those Dirty Life DT1 wheels. What width and offset are you running ?

[joshnasche]

I plan on getting 35 inch tires for my jeep Gladiator as well. Wonder if the fuel economy will be about the same or better if you drive a stick shift.

[manuelribado]

I got 24.3 mpg in highway @ 70 mph. In my city (not hills and regular traffic) I got 19.9 mpg. Jeep Gladiator Sport S with tires all seasons. I driver without push so much the accelerator. I had jeep and toyota for the last 40 years and this is the first that gave me very good mpg

[briansmith]

Do you sell the Gladiator hat or your logo stickers? Love to pick them up.

[richardkamowski]

I’m looking order an new gladiator with an stick, going to do 35s hopefully I get around 15 mpg and 17-18 on the highway

[nateyoung]

Can you force it into 8th gear ? Manual mode or something?

[mungaloyd]

I thought it was a diesel getting that bad..I’ve been getting nearly 32 mpg on the 32” factory overland tires..about to put on the 17” 35s
