Jeep Gladiator - 7 Month Review

2020 Jeep Gladiator Review 7 Months and over 14,000 miles. We've done so many crazy things with our Jeep Pickup Truck. Some things that have never been done before. GladiatorGang.com
Some of the things we've done, we towed almost 8,000 pounds about 2,400 miles from Detroit, Michigan to Panama City Beach and back. We've also done a four wheel drive burnout, so all 4 wheels were spinning, pretty cool. We needed the Z Automotive Tazer to be able to engage the lockers at higher speeds.
We have had our 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon since April 2019, which is one of the very first ones to come from the Jeep Factory in Toledo, Ohio. We cover as much details about the Gladiator Truck as we can without making the video too long and boring. We've dedicated our brand 100% to Jeep Gladiator Content, and we have hundreds of hours of video we are editing. Lots of the video of this Jeep Truck are actually just b-roll and rolling shots etc, but regardless we have tons of content. Most likely we have more Jeep Pickup content than anyone else on the internet. So far we haven't seen anyone top what we've done, and we are just getting started.
If you're not familiar with the new 2020 Jeep Gladiator Truck, well then this video will give you a lot of information that you'll want to know about. Also, we cover some of the pricing info in another video, showing exactly what you should pay and how to read an invoice. We don't go into exact prices for each model, but that is something we plan on doing so that everyone who plans to buy a new 2020 Jeep Pickup knows what they should be paying.
The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, Sport, Sport S and Overland all come with the same motor right now, which is the 3.6L V6 Pentastar Engine, which pumps out 285 Horse Power with 260 lb ft torque. Its a good little motor, but in the next video where we cover what we DON'T LIKE ABOUT THE GLADIATOR RUBICON we will explain more. The EcoDiesel Engine will be coming to the Jeep Gladiators in 2021 Model Year, so most likely we will start to see those engines next year. We don't recommend that engine, but we won't go into any details on that right now.
The Jeep Gladiators all come with Dana 44 front and rear axles, with the heavy duty wide axles being an option with the max towing package. You can run up to 37 inch tires without lifting the Rubicon Gladiator, but at full flex you might have some rubbing. We have BFGoodrich Tires in 35" and 37" and will do full reviews on those compared to the stock tires that come of the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.

[@GladiatorGang]

That sucks, I have beat the hell out of mine and no issues yet except had to replace the rear axle, it was completely blown out. They said you could grab the driveshaft and move it all over there was nothing left barely!

Did you ever find out why it blew up?

[@lesszabo5625]

You're absolutely right, the Gladiator is an awesome vehicle. I've had mine for one month now and a week after taking possession it got a 3.5" lift with 37's. Really drives nice. Looking forward to seeing what yours will look like with your changes.

[@GladiatorGang]

Les Szabo hey thanks, we will run the 37 inch BFGoodrich Tires KM3’s without a lift to show how well it does. Then we will do a few different lift sizes and tire sizes. It’s gonna be a blast. Congrats on the Gladiator, whats the plans for it?

Scott Torchik thats PRETTY AWESOME to hear from a YOTA DUDE. Thanks for the comment and info. Have an awesome week. TEN THINGS WE HATE coming next.

[@TheCarusoGroup]

Looking hard at one of these. Great job. According to the dealer I spoke to last night: No power seats because the vehicle is designed to go through up to 30” of water. That would be a bad thing for seat motors.

[@GladiatorGang]

Sam Caruso that is correct, because of the ability to go into deep water, the power seat and AIR CONDITIONING OPTIONS is an issue. Just thought it was bizarre to spend over $60K without these options, but it makes sense. REMOTE START doesn’t work when the doors are off, which is REALLY ANNOYING because it’s been below freezing temps the last few day here, and I need to be able to unthaw the leather and fresh frost before driving it. But I can’t. So I have to go outside, jump in it, start it and leave it running (DOORLESS). Which means anyone could just jump in it and drive away. Which is crazy. It poured last night and it was parked in the street DOORLESS, sears and floors are soaked. I parked with the front pointed slightly down hill, therefore the drain plugs didn’t work, had a PUDDLE OF WATER under brake and gas pedals 😆🥶

[@boysandtoys4670]

@@GladiatorGang You're complaining because the remote start won't work with the doors off when it's below freezing? Ummm... why would you have the doors off when it's below freezing?????

Because it’s AWESOME AND FUN. Why have the doors on, that’s BORING (or should I say DOORING 😆) Doors are off right now, and it’s sitting outside IN THE RAIN. It’s been frozen, rained on and snowed on. In a blizzard DOORLESS. Love it. Finally got the idea to put GARBAGE BAGS over the seats so they stay dry for the morning ride 😆

Bobby Muy That is good to hear haven’t had any major problems with ours either except a lot of times when it’s parked and we put it in reverse it’s a very hard shift almost like when you’re parked on a hill and transmission has a lot of pressure on it but it happens frequently on flat ground only going to reverse

[@quicktoevil]

I traded my Ram 1500 for a Jeep Gladiator last week. Its definetely an adjustment. The Ram was more truck than I usually need and maybe too big. The Gladiator is better sized, but its drives different, its a 'Jeep thing' I guess. Too soon to tell if I'll regret the trade or fall in love with the Jeep Gladiator...

I have a Frontier but really want a Wranger and I can’t have both but I need a truck. Been on the fence about the Gladiator but with bigger tires it looks much better and certainly more capable than my current truck. Great review! Subbed.

[@GladiatorGang]

Hey Chuck, I'm not familiar with the Frontiers, however this is THE BEST AND MOST FUN VEHICLE I've ever owned. Literally have a less than 1 mile commute for work and have almost 15K miles on this thing! Have had a Jeep Truck (Wrangler Conversion) on my dream board for a long time, not realizing it had 40's on it (which makes it look so much better) and also not realizing one day I'd be building a massive social influencing brand around the FACTORY BUILT JEEP TRUCK. Anyway, I'm extremely passionate about this truck, and have been working on this brand for almost 18 months now. And I'm not tired of it one bit, which is a great sign. Can't wait to be a full time Content Creator / Social Influencer. Definitely headed in the right direction, but WAY BEHIND on the video production. Have made quite a few crappy short videos for Instagram, but not nearly enough for KZbin. HAVE FILMED A MASSIVE AMOUNT THOUGH, so the content is recorded.

[@timothychhay8173]

Rented one and I fell in love with it!

[@GladiatorGang]

So can only imagine how much time overall. LOVE IT THOUGH! Do you have a JEEP GLADIATOR?

[@phoenicianbird109]

What an awesome vechicle... The only weak point is the price

[@KUROSHURA]

Your aftermarket wheel and tire spec is fire!!!! I might copy that!!!

[@GladiatorGang]

Hey, nothing wrong with copying when you’ve FOUND THE BEST combination there is! Dirty Life Race Wheels are hands down the best looking and best performance wheels you can get for your vehicle. They’re one of the few who have the Dual-Tek Beadlock Technology which allows you to Beadlock Mount or Standard DOT Approved Mount your tires! Also, they have these in other colors. Make sure to check out GladiatorGang.com/DirtyLife for more high resolution pictures and more details about their wheels. As far as our tires, we use @BFGoodrich Tires KM3 Mud Terrain Tires, these are 35X12.50R17’s but we also have these same tires in 37X12.50R17’s After we run the 37’s we will swap out to the 39” KM3’s and then most likely our final stage will be the 42” BFGoodrich Tires. That’s later in the build series when we finalize the axle swap and most likely do the 6.4L Engine Swap. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, we can work with ANY BRAND of tires and wheels we want, and we choose the VERY BEST. Let us know if you get them, and by the way, we are partners with dealer for both brands. So we can hook you up with whatever you want along with EXPERT ADVICE on whatever aspect of your build you need. You can always email us or call. Love talking about this stuff, it’s a blast!

[@GladiatorGang]

For sure, let us know if you go with them. Love letting Dirty Life know how many people have chosen them because of us.

[@phrogusmc]

What I don't like about the lockable rear seats, is that the bottom seat covers can't be locked for those of us that don't have the removable/lockable storage bin. I keep a lot of stuff under those seats, abs would like to be able to lock the bottom of the seats from being raised. You can barely fit anything behind the rear seats. The only reason I can think of why they made the backs lockable is to protect the BT speaker from being stolen, which many of us don't have. Also, buying the trail rail system from MOPAR after purchase is insanely expensive. $900?! Lot of aftermarket websites have it for $300-$350.

[@GladiatorGang]

MOPAR is over priced, however usually the quality is pretty good. Not with it though. That’s CRAZY!

Hey thanks, been awhile since we’ve been on here. Haven’t driven the Gladiator in over 6 months!

[@Nick-pq2yb]

I want to get a Gladiator like crazy, but have a hard time justifying it over something like the Ram Rebel with a Hemi. Can get a truck with more power, better/comparable mpg's, more space, and better options as far as inside the cab goes (loaded) for the same price or cheaper. Obviously you can't take the doors and roof off the Rebel and cant climb rocks the same, and then there's that iconic Jeep look! The realist side of me says Rebel, while the kid in me says Gladiator. Did you have any similar thoughts, or were you jeep all the way?

[@GladiatorGang]

Have had a couple Rams, Sport Night Edition with Hemi, Big Horn etc. Also have owned 3 or 4 6.2L GM's (Escalades, Denali's Etc). It really depends on what you're gonna use it for. Yeah, the Gladiator is pretty small inside, ESPECIALLY COMPARED to a 2019 or 2020 Ram, the new ones are 4 inches bigger in the back seat and the floors are flat now, so they're HUGE. BUT, at the end of the day the Gladiator is SO MUCH MORE FUN, removing the doors and top is a blast, and thats one of my favorite things. Gas mileage doesn't matter to me, but to some thats a big deal depending on how much they drive. Go drive both, right out the pros and cons and then decide. The money ins't that important, its what makes you happy. Spending 60K on a truck is absolutely nuts, but I don't regret it at all.

[@GladiatorGang]

Nick also, Ram Rebel with Hemi gas mileage isn’t gonna be that much better. Unless you’re gonna run pretty big tires on a Gladiator. You can easily get 16-18 MPG. Over 20 when going 55MPH pretty easy too...

[@mitchellbegan]

I’m sure somebody will have an aftermarket plug to plug in where your door plugs go so you were able to remote start it kind of like a bypass or a block to make it feel like they’re there

[@wildwildman4851]

The frames for all of the Jeep trucks are built in Owensboro Kentucky. The first 30,000 frames are out of factory spec. Meaning out of 30,000 frames no 2 are alike. Tram the frame from one to another and see for your self!!!!

[@GladiatorGang]

That’s interesting, not familiar with this aspect of manufacturing. Thanks for the info, you work there?

[@wildwildman4851]

Gladiator Gang no I do not work there, I sell and service robotic welding equipment

[@wildwildman4851]

Gladiator Gang most of the welding is done by hand and the trunion that clamps the frame in is off. From all the mig welding the frames get over heated and tons of clamping force drives the frame out of conformity. Once powder coated all frames get sent to mobis in Detroit by truck and built very popular truck at 2019 Sema show. All of the builders and customizers have noticed the frame specs are way off. Just another thing to be mindful of when making a 60-70 thousand dollar purchase

[@anthonygiordano3991]

😂..🤣. I’m considering buying one too but I hear so much negative reviews with Jeep reliability. I don’t know what to believe anymore. I’m trying decide between Toyota Tacoma or this. I don’t off-road.. I’ve never owned a Jeep. But I do like the Gladiator look with 37’s.

[@GladiatorGang]

I can only tell you my experience, and its been incredible. Nothing to complain about beside the high price. You’re gonna most read reviews of people who have had problems. People who are happy are less motivated to the world and write a review. Toyota definitely has a high quality reputation, but they aren’t nearly as cool as a Gladiator. 37’s is a great look and I highly recommend that. Also, go drive doorless and topless, it’s the best experience and so much fun!

[@anthonygiordano3991]

Gladiator Gang - I wish the dealer had a naked option I could test drive so I can experience that! True.. the Tacoma doesn’t have that ‘cool’ and unique factor like the Gladiator. A big concern of mine is the noise level on the highway.. and the seat comfort. I hear it’s so noisy at even 30MPH. I can’t imagine traveling 6 hours on the highway in this thing (sometimes I go from northern Cali to southern) and tolerating that wind noise all the way. I’m sure it can get tiring.

That's not true, ALL GLADIATORS have the Dana 44's, but yeah the Max Tow Package and Rubicons, get THICKER AND WIDER D44's. Still D44's just different width and thickness. NO GLADIATOR on the planet has anything less than a D44 unless someone swapped them out for a smaller one...

We are RIGHT HERE IN DETROIT and are 100% positive they all have D44's.

Great informative vid. Thanks. Thinking of a Rubicon Gladiator for my next ride and my use would be a lot like yours so I really appreciate your thoughts. My understanding is that it takes 35s with no mods. That would be a mod I would want to do at time of sale to make the breakover and departure angle a little better and also to get a slightly wider tire as some of my offroading is on the beach. I don’t want to go uber tall with a lift- either keep it stock height and just add the 35s or add them with a 1 or 2 in lift max. I like the height of yours. Did you do a lift for the 35s? If so how much? Thanks and keep the good vids coming.

[@GladiatorGang]

DADventureTV hey DAD, no lift, no spacers and no issues whatsoever. We aren’t into huge lifts either, although we will run at least 2 or 3 different lifts with 37, 39’s and 42’s. But minimal lift as possible. These are 35X12.50R17 @BFGoodrich Tires KM3’s Thanks for the comment, how do you plan on using it?

[@dadventuretv2538]

Gladiator Gang awesome. Thanks man. Gonna put a pop up tent cab on back (like the GoFast Camper) so I can store my mountain bike inside with it locked, along with a small fridge and probably move the spare up there. Idea is to be able to drive to some trailheads, pop the tent and sleep right there, wake up next day and ride. I do it now but it’s more complicated bc my bike takes up a lot of my way back and even some of the back seat (need to lower one side for it to fit) and my spare takes up a bit too and then I have to set up and tear down my tent. I want it to be simpler. Offroading consists of beach (Assateague, Outer Banks, Delaware) and moderate Appalachian mountain trails in Western Maryland, WV and Western PA and green and blues in some offroad parks in same area. Also need to tow a 6000 lb boat and carry kayaks on top and be my daily. So a lot of requirements. Amazing thing is the truck meets them all. There are not a lot that do. Ford Raptor and Dodge Power Wagon but damn are they huge, and the new Land Rover Defender might work but I have some questions- namely might be too small. I currently have an LR4 with the HD Package- full lockers, low range- that works well for the offroading I do (although I wish I could have gotten smaller wheels to fit a larger sidewall tire- I upgraded to 265/50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers but am stuck with 20s which, of course, are less than ideal. But so far no tears, and I’ve done some pretty rocky trails running about 20 psi. Quite frankly the Gladiator with 35s will have far more capability than I will use- I’m just not into rock crawling or doing black diamond trails- but I love the fact that it fits all my needs and having the extra capability is also nice peace of mind.

Hey Mike, the bottom line is that the eco-diesel in the jeep gladiator is a third-generation engine for the "EcoDIEsel" what that means is we really don't know if it's any good or not nobody will know until it's on the road for a few years it could literally be the best engine Jeep/ FCA has made, or it could be the worst engine ever that now not sure if you're familiar with the class action lawsuit with the previous generation engine but the new diesel engines are totally different than the ones we used to have with all the missions crap ...

[@GladiatorGang]

The track record for the EcoDIEsel isn't good at all, there's way too much stuff on the engine to make it emissions friendly which takes a huge toll on your reliability. Also, until this new 3rd generation version is on the road for a few years, NOBODY will know how good of a motor (or bad) it is. Maintenance is going to be more expensive, fuel is way more expensive, DEF fluid, and oil changes all make it a lot more than what you're really gaining. Sorry didn't see this comment!

Rageborne it’ll definitely be interesting to see what the trade in prices are. Overpriced, yes for sure. But all vehicles now a days are expensive. People always like to compare a Gladiator to a Full Size Truck and say you’re getting more bang for your buck with a full size. Well, it depends on what you’re gonna use it for. Convertible, Doorless & Extremely Good Off-Road is what makes it a lot different than full size.

[@csboy1123]

From what I understand the S model has more towing than the Rubicon. Outside the fox shocks I don't really see reason to pay more for the Rubicon

[@GladiatorGang]

Well there’s actually quite a bit more that comes with the Rubicon, and yes the towing is less with Rubicon for a couple reasons. But Rubicon has a whole lot of off-road features thats Overland and Sport don’t have. Some of them include the e-lockers, front disconnecting sway bar, higher clearance fenders, 33 inch tires, power dome hood, steel bumpers with winch location available and quite a bit more, BUT depending on your uses, the Rubicon might be overkill. Also, there’s a ton of interior options you can’t get with the Sport, along with painted fenders and top.

@@GladiatorGang definitely noticed the lockers, sway bar, and winch-ready bumpers. ill admit that im a bit picky and hard to please with wanting the best of both worlds between the function goodies and wishing for a stripped down interior

[@GladiatorGang]

Matthew Rozycko yeah, just depends on what’s important to you and what you’re used to. We like all the goodies, Greg from Unofficial Use Only DOES NOT. He likes bare bones. What do you drive right now?

@@GladiatorGang All mentioned basically have nothing to do with off roading. The only thing rubicon comes with concerning off road capability other than max tow is locking diff, and electronic sway bar disco. The rest is non sense. Many off road enthusiasts, and professionals actually buy the stock sport. Rubicon is overkill on the wallet, thats about it. Fenders are easily replaceable, no one keeps 33 in tires (but you can recoup resale value), no one keeps the mopar bumper (recoup),sway bar disco can be bought for $300, only thing that would be hard to do is electronic sway, but most professionals don't like the possible failure on that eventually. But max tow is only about 3 grand less than rubi, and can be re couped in the take offs from rubi (Wheels, tires, rock rails, bumper, suspension,) but you can never ever ever re create the pay load of max tow. So its just all about if you want that Rubicon sticker on your hood.

[@GladiatorGang]

Travis Duncan LOL, well let’s see sway bar disconnect OFF-ROAD. 33 Inch Tires OFF-ROAD. Higher clearance fenders for those who want to add 35’s or maybe try to squeeze 37’s OFF-ROAD or just use the stock 33’s for mild off-roading. E-Lockers (although not as reliable) OFF-ROAD. Steel bumpers (winch capable) OFF-ROAD. Now, LIKE I SAID, depending on their uses, it might be a good fit, it might not. It could be total over-kill. Not to mention, there’s all kinds of interior upgrades that you CAN’T GET WITH A SPORT, and exterior as well. Can’t get body colored hard top, can’t get leather, can’t get adaptive cruise. The list goes on and on. Yeah, there’s a lot of extreme off-road guys who bought Sport Gladiators for many reasons, but there’s also a lot of REAL OFF-ROAD GUYS who also got Overlands and Rubicons. Tony Carvallo from Dynatrac has an Overland, Chuck from Black Ops 4x4 has a Rubicon, Mel from Evo Mfg has a Sport, Iron Man JT from Rebel Off-Road they has a Sport. For a lot of people, Rubicon is more than enough capable, for others it’s not nearly enough and will all be replaced anyway. Every single thing on ours will be upgraded and replaced through all the stages of the JEEPKHANA series, but when we got ours, Rubicon was the only option (and it had all the extras we wanted non-Rubicon related.) Also, Rubicon has the rock sliders (although they aren’t that good) it’s better than nothing.

The total ignorance of jeep engineers who ignored what worked for yrs in jeep and put in crap like a faulty windshield defroster and crappy corrosion inhibitor is beyond incompetent, it is criminal. Any under power and poor mpg issue is equally ridiculous at this time with all the advancements in fuel monitoring technology

Did you lift your gladiatior to fit the 35

[@GladiatorGang]

Nope it’s none stock sorry for the late response!

[@plsadventures961]

Love your review. What size of tires do you have on this?

[@GladiatorGang]

Right now we are running the BFGoodrich Tires 35X12.50R17’s KM3 (Mud Terrain Tires) but we also have these same tires in 37’s. Thanks for the feedback, sorry for the slow response.

[@cheviacGuy89]

Have to ask why do you not recommend the eco diesel?

[@GladiatorGang]

So many reasons, but mainly the EcoDIEsel is junk, they didn’t fix the major issue.

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Why did you almost get Fred for buying this Gladiator???

[@GladiatorGang]

That’s a long story, but I bought it from another dealership from one of our past workers.

[@ahmedmonman70]

you need change the stabilizer and you gona see moor control on steering at high ways ... there is you tube about that

[@GladiatorGang]

ahmed monman well there’s a ton of debate about that, and what exactly is the best solution, however steering IS NOT AN ISSUES yet.

Not a hunter, but would work well yes. Especially if you need to go off-road.
