That tweaked grill will also fit on 23 Wranglers and earlier. I think the move to a windshield antenna is a bad idea, as that only makes replacement Wrangler windshields more expensive. A $15 rubber stubby antenna easily fixed the old metal mast antenna on previous model Wranglers.

[@whocaresjustdoit]

Great review as always Joe! I'd buy this thing ASAP if they put the 392 engine in it! Haha just kidding...It's a super capable vehicle but I can't stand driving it longer than 2-3 hours on the highway. The amount of wandering caused by the solid front axle is just tiring. I wish they have lane centering in these Jeeps. Also, $65K? That's a lot of money for a mid size truck! Colorado ZR2 is like $10K cheaper and that's a much more pleasant truck to drive.

[@treydrier3169]

I own a Gladiator Mojave and 100% agree with you. Driving around town ... no problem. But highway driving is a challenge. The one thing the steering does is keep me alert. I can't be day dreaming driving or in deep thought with this thing on the highway for an extended period. I also have the thick heavy tread mud tires which makes it worse because they seem to bounce around a bit. At least that's how it feels. Nothing terrible just an uneasy feeling when driving over 70mph.

as far as I can tell, its a 12.3 inch screen? Also, ditto for previous comment aobut engines. Wrangler have other powertrians, but Gladiator only got 3.6L V6 BUT it sitll has a 6 speed manual. I loe that combo, though I did have a '21 4xe Rubi, and LOVE that engine/motor combo!) Infotainment is good on jeep. GREAT interior upgrade. I love the 4xe Wrangler RUbicon, but I need the cargo bed. I was hoping 2024 would add gladiator 4xe, but oh, well. I like the FIrecracker color (Classic)< I LOVE the hydro blue even more, but that yellow is jsut outstanding! I want one, I can't wait for hybrid now, and may get one now and trade it in for a PHEV later. also not mentioned are the towing and paylod increases! RUBICON gets 7700 lb towing and 1700 payload! (other companies list higher payloads on a base two door truck that match this, none will have this type of paylod and towing for their top of the line off road models! way to go Jeep! WIth those numbers the only thing I'd like about a diesel would be better MPG (same for hybrid, plust the immediate toque off road of the electric motors was amazing!) but with the diesel youdid loose 1000 pounds towing and paylod went down from like 1200 to about 900 lb on previous models (2020-2023). SO, again, good job Jeep! You sold me and I"m heading to fine one!

[@andymckane7271]

I'll take the Jeep, Wrangler or Gladiator, to any other manufacturer's 4-wheel drive vehicle. I've been a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon owner since April 2012. My Rubicon has been the most reliable "car" I have ever owned. (I started driving in 1964. From then through 1993 I drove Series Land Rovers. Even had a Land Rover parts business from 1974 to 1986. As a matter of fact, I tried to get Mr. Iacocca and Chrysler to "buy Land Rover Limited from the British Government." This was before Chrysler Corporation bought AMC/Jeep.) My wife and I also had a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland diesel while living in Utah prior to moving to the Hawaiian Island of Molokai. My wife had some issues with the Grand Cherokee's diesel particulate emissions system. Over the years I've owned many Land Rovers, one Range Rover, and numerous Rover cars, 2000's, 3500 P-6, and 3500 NAS SD1 cars. Our Jeeps have been vastly more reliable than anything Rover, Land Rover or British Leyland made. Thanks to Jeep's designers and management for keeping the Wrangler a Wrangler. Unibody construction does not cut it when most of one's driving is off-road. I'm also a purest. I hope Jeep sticks with circular headlights and traditional instrumentation. But Jeep has to give the market what the market wants and demands. I'm seventy-five. I plan on driving a Wrangler and a Gladiator right up to the moment I take my last breath. Andrew "Andy" McKane IV, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

The new Touch screen and tech inside the gladiator 2024 BLOWS Toyota/ford/chevy away. The jeep console already operated the best (I’m a ford owner by the way and can admit that it was better) now with the larger screen and cleaner look, it’s clearly in the top.

[@ahmedelhossieni8053]

Jeep need to step up and add 360 camera ventilated seats, wireless charger and some room in the center at least to put your phone and 35 tire and sky one roof in the gladiator to keep up with the competition.

[@kylepolencheck7249]

Really wish they would’ve done something big with the Gladiator. The 3.6 is fine, but they really needed the 4xe, especially with how they talked up the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee 4xe’s for the first 10 minutes of the reveal. I like most of the tech upgrades. I think power seats were unnecessary, I don’t remember anyone screaming for that option. I can understand why they wouldn’t put a Hemi in there since they’re trying to phase those out, but I think adding the 4xe should’ve been a given and the Hurricane with a factory lift and 35’s would’ve put it over the top. I just don’t see what they did for this MY driving a lot of sales. Maybe they’ll do something different for next year, assuming they don’t just kill the product altogether.

[@RaitisRides]

I know how you feel!

[@gta4viceman]

it was mostly the car reviewers saying for this much money you should get power seats and once the bronco had power seats as an option it forced jeep to do the same.

[@commanderroddi7742]

NOte: Mojave doesn'thave rock rails either, you can spec them in the car, but they don'thave the rails behind the wheels. (like the Wildtrack, the Mojave is a "desert runner, so you're not expected to rock crawl, but it can, so same for bronco Wildtrack, Rubicon is more like Bronco Badlands, though not sure if Bronco does come with them either on Sasquatch or Badlands, Rubicon is ultimate off road rock crawler, and only maybe the wrangler is better (especially in 4Xe, which OI own, but I need a truck, so I am getting Gladiator rubicon, Wish they had 4Xe, can't wait for it, may trade in 3.6L V6 if hybrid comes out). I love the Firecracker red, I LOVE even more the blue color, but that Velocity color is just amazing in person, so I want that color. Interior is nice. Problem I had with previous Gladiator (and wrangler a bit) is that I didn't think seat went back far enough, nor adjusted enough. I think its been fix, but can anyone comment on that? Love the interior updates!

[@joebrito2066]

Jeep needs to make a 4xe version of the Gladiator. Great video Joe and team!

[@robyork9554]

So here's a few corrections: No diesel. No 4xe. No sliding roof panel. This is a HUGE disappointment. I couldn't care less about a 12" screen. The 8" screen works just fine, plus I added wireless Android/Apple Car Play to mine for $60. 12 way electric seats .... yaaaaawn. Where's the more powerful motor we were all expecting? 35" tires? Don't get me wrong, I like the additional crash test safety and the electronics are ... nice. But there's no reason to upgrade from my 2021 Mojave.

[@stevhn]

There is no more diesel plus no hybrid option on the gladiator

[@garyvanmeter4911]

For the last 42 years I've always owned a Jeep. But I don't need a rear seat, a fold down windshield, removeable doors, or a back seat. But I'd love a 6 foot 6 inch bed. I've yet to see a Gladiator with anyone riding in the useless rear seat. And the fold down windshield that no one folds down really messes with visibility out the front. And for that matter, I've yet to see a Gladiator with the top down. Most Gladiators come with the hard top and it stays on 12 months a year. People are having to pay for stuff they don't want or use.
