2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys, the $55,000 trail rated truck

2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys review
Check out the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys Edition! This jeep is massive, and i look like a child sitting on top of it 😂. Anyways this jeep has some nice accents such as the Willys decals on the hood, the orange rings on the odometer and lets not forget the gloss black sport grille. This jeep is also trail rated and guaranteed to scratch that offroad itch.

My dad owns a Willy, and I love it! I would highly recommend it for challenging terrain and snowy conditions! A should buy for sure!

[@WizLovesCars]

Nice! I really enjoyed this Jeep! Its my go to for taking trips to the mountains! Thanks for checking out my review!

[@angelsuarez17]

Great review. I just picked up a 2020. The zoom in feature is for the tow hitch view when connecting to the trailer. Go Jeep!

[@WizLovesCars]

Thanks Angel and congrats on your new ride!

[@danmalloy6908]

I think you do a great job so keep it up. Love your honest style. Best wishes from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

[@WizLovesCars]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback, it definitely helps push me forward! Also thank you for watching! Shoutout to Cambridge!

I love the Willy's Jeep,Sarge Green

[@WizLovesCars]

I bet that looks really nice! Also thanks for watching!

[@lavernewisdom7819]

Absolutely love the Willy, definitely would love to own one of these! This is a great vehicle for rough terrain and for those who live where it snows heavily! Great review.

Bro Just put a helmet on strap in and drive this mofo off a cliff to test it!! we need to see what this thing can really do! 😂🤣😂 JD Power will have a new category because of WizLovesCars : Cliff Hanger Tested

[@WizLovesCars]

Absolutely! I have many good things to say about this jeep. Thanks for watching!

[@WizLovesCars]

Yo you are wild 🤣. I would for sure be testing out the roll cage if i drove it off a cliff.

Just got Me a 2023 Gladiator Willys in Bright White, Love it 🤩✌️

[@davidzavala337]

Don't pay mark ups, please, do yoursf a favor and the rest of us. $55k for halogens headlights is an insult. I love jeeps, but there is no justification for the marks. If you need to travel, do it in order to save money.

[@WizLovesCars]

Yea the markups are wild but most dealerships are doing it. Supply & Demand

[@tomahawk1976]

I just bought a 2021 gladiator willys a couple of days ago, and I love it so far.

[@WizLovesCars]

Congrats!!! What color did you get?

[@tomahawk1976]

@@WizLovesCars Red

[@tomahawk1976]

I think the red with the black rims looks amazing

[@WizLovesCars]

Yea thats a solid choice for color combos!

[@justin________7477]

I can relate and pretty much relate to your viewpoint. Never driven a Jeep before I picked up my Willys Sport a couple months ago but I think Jeep did a great job. Willy's trim looks great and a lot of fun to drive, customize, take the roof off, etc. Plus you can get it with a manual, almost the only truck left with that available.

[@WizLovesCars]

Yea they really did do a good job! If i had more time with it i’d love to take the roof and doors off in the summer! Thanks for watching!

[@SkyHawk2849]

Im still debating bcz i have 3 kids that will need to be back there. Thanks for hopping in the back to show the back seats. Not many people show the back seat.

[@WizLovesCars]

Honestly i think the kids will fit back there just fine for normal around town driving and short road trip scenarios, however outside of that you may need something with an 3rd row. No problem and thanks for the feedback! Glad to know that getting the backseat shots are helpful. Thanks for watching as well! I really appreciate it!

[@jasondixon9095]

Just got my 2021 2door jeep Willy’s all white

[@WizLovesCars]

Congrats! When the spring comes you will be ready to deconstruct! Thanks for watching!

I paid $43k plus tax for my JT Sport Diesel with preferred package, LEDs, cold weather package, all safety stuff and aux switches. Ive got less than $55k in it with lift lockers gears bumpers winch and 39s

[@WizLovesCars]

Nice! Sticker on this is a little over 50k + markup so the owner rounded out at closer to 55k when it was time to purchase.

[@mattbrew11]

@@WizLovesCars I believe sticker on mine was $51k I ordered through Gupton Motors at a deep discount

Good job bro on the review of this jeep truck. At first I thought you were Havoc from Mobb Deep lol……. I cannot wait until the Bronco version of this truck comes out later this year for comparison.

There we go!

[@ChristineDuran-oz8oq]

I owned 4 jeeps on my fifth one but no more way to much for it. I've traveled from Colorado to Indiana and it's not comfortable. I loved the TJ

[@WizLovesCars]

Yea that rough but definitely makes sense to have a jeep in both states when it comes to the snow but i would definitely have one as an addition vehicle

[@srtamplification]

You left out some of the greatest features of the backseat. The under seat stowage and the lockable behind seat stowage. There is also a special little box under the seat to put all of the top hardware and tools. Neat stuff back there.

[@billredding2000]

You keep saying "car." ;-) 1. Regarding the roof-removal, when you were taking the passenger side top off you may have noted it was "attached" on the left edge: IIRC, you have to take them on/off in a certain order, as the driver's side top comes off first, then the passenger side, as the driver's side top panel edge's gasket overlaps the passenger side panel's edge in the center. When you put them back on, the passenger panel goes on first, the driver's panel last. Otherwise, it'll leak on the center where they join because the gaskets aren't mating correctly. 2. I didn't get the sprayed-in bed-liner, as (1) I got my Gladiator off the lot (vs. ordering one) and it didn't come with that Mopar option ($495?) and (2) I knew I was going to install a tri-fold hard tonneau/bed-cover on the bed anyway which would protect the bed paint from the sun/weather. But I DID put in a floor-liner (a 90lb 3/4" thick "horse stall mat" I cut to fit -- about $45 at your local TSC or other farm & ranch store). 3. Some people can't imagine why anyone would put their key-fob in that key-fob "storage slot" you showed, and I agree MOST times you'd have it in your pocket. However, when I go to the dealership for service, I DO put the key-fob in that slot, so EVERYONE -- the Service Adviser and technicians AND me -- knows where it is (and doesn't get lost so easily)! 4. As for my Gladiator, there's no "swaying" that I notice much on the road, and steering is tight (Jeep improved the "traditional/sloppy" Jeep steering when they started production (mid-August of 2020) of the 2021 models. It's almost a good as my previous vehicle's was (2016 Honda pilot). 5. Mine has cloths seats, too, and I agree that they're very comfortable, even on long road-trips (took a trip from CO to TX and back recently). 6. Didn't get the "Active Safety Group" option, so I don;' have that backup/radar warning beeping as yours does. But that's fine -- didn't want Lane Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, etc. I've no need for a Driving Nanny. ;-) I'm keeping my Gladiator mostly stock (no lift, larger tires, Tazer tuning, etc.), as it's already more capable off-road then I'm likely to need. But if I DO need "extra" capability, it's THERE! -- BR (2021 Jeep Gladiator JT Rubicon)

[@WizLovesCars]

Bill! You got me there with saying “car” i guess that’s my car review version of “you guys” anyway point taken. 1. good point on the roof, that mainly happened because i was shooting from the passenger side but the main point was to show off the latches. I may do a video deconstructing a jeep in the future. 2.honestly i just like the look the bedliner gives the gladiator but that’s not an outrageous add on item if you care about that stuff. 3. I used all the key holders in any car i drive now because sometimes I don’t like keeping the key in my pocket especially for longer drives. I definitely use them for the dealership visits. 4. We may have to agree to disagree on this one i have been driving this gladiator for the past couple of days and i still feel it. Its not horrible but it is noticeable since this isn’t something i drive everyday. Also the is some play in the steering wheel that really comes out when cornering at hire speeds but thats to be expected since this was built for that specific use case. But yes to you point the swaying in much older models was sloppy and annoying. Thanks for watching the video and thanks for the feedback!

[@WizLovesCars]

Also lol @ driving nanny

[@billredding2000]

​@@WizLovesCars I'm guessing it's natural for you to say "car" (although you DO say truck sometimes!) because you MOSTLY reviews cars and of course, you get used to saying "car." 🙂 Also, you're looking at a Gladiator Willy's model here, whereas I have a Gladiator Rubicon -- probably has different suspension than a Willys and likely a Rubicon is a bit heavier as well, so that may make it ride smoother on the highway, given that the longer wheelbase is the same on all Gladiators (which isn't good for the trail but IS good on the hwy). As for a Rubicon's tires (33" Falken Wildpeak A/T3W), they seem smooth, too...and I don't even notice any road noise, so it can't be that much of an issue. And no wind noise, either...but then I have the hard-top (3- piece Freedom Panels). Just to repeat, if someone reading here has a 2018-2021 Jeep Wrangler OR a 2020 Gladiator, look up/print-out the "Jeep TSB 08-074-20" and take it in to a dealer if the steering "wanders." As mentioned though, the 2021 model Wranglers/Gladiators (and the coming 2022 models as well) should be fine. BTW, I got my Gladiator off a dealer's lot (long story!) and had to take it "as-equipped," so I wasn't against getting the Mopar spray-in bed-liner ($495 option)...it just didn't HAVE one. But again, I knew I was getting a decent bed-cover (and one way better than the Mopar folding soft bed-cover!) so that was no big deal. Cheers, -- BR

@@WizLovesCars "Also lol @ driving nanny" Yes...I'm guessing it'd be highly annoying and prevent me from driving on my own w/o any "AI" interference But seriously, after all those years in NASCAR, I'm pretty sure I can still drive by myself. ;-) -- Richard Petty

[@WizLovesCars]

Yea very natural for me so say car lol it just rolls out. Ah you have the rubicon. Honestly i think it might be because i just don’t drive them so its more noticeable, i’ll have to investigate that one further. The road noise in this gladiator is pretty loud at high speeds. When we were driving up the coast over the weekend it got pretty loud.

I paid 36k for my willys. The month I bought it, ratings fir the gladiator were terrible. Next month the price went up amd so did ratings.

[@WizLovesCars]

Nice, yea sticker on this one started @ 50k + markup. I feel like rating and reviews for the gladiator are a mixed bag but i feel that its really up to the potential owner and if it serves its purpose for whatever you need it for. Honestly i think its a pretty dope truck
