What I Don't Like About My 2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys

[@shaxx78]

You should probably trade that in for a Toyota Tacoma. You are definitely not cut out for the "Jeep" life.

[@markboen]

You can tow up to 6,000 lbs with the Willys auto trans tow package (not the manual trans).

[@deanbacon8245]

This is why mini cooper dudes need to stay away from jeeps , you probably get butt hurt because another jeep doesn't wave back , stay with what you know volvos

[@karl9400]

That wood fence in the backyard goes on forever. The maintenance on that will be expensive.

[@Thejikarim]

I have the gladiator Rubicon diesel and I actually towed a trailer with the car in the back and and I was doing 19 miles to the gallon and normally without towing I get about 25 to 26 miles to the gallon depending how I drive it so I recommend the diesel for anybody that wants a truck with good gas mileage

[@ueray4]

Awesome! Do you think the Willy’s diesel gets the same gas mileage? I won’t be towing and only city drive. What kind of mileage do you think I’ll get with normal driving?

[@Thejikarim]

@@ueray4 if your not towing you’ll average 25 to 29 miles ! Good luck

[@astralnut6313]

@@Thejikarim I bought a Gladiator Willys Diesel and it is wonderful to drive. I have had a 1996 Chevy 6.5 liter turbo diesel and later a Chevy 2016 2500HD Duramax.

Totally wanna replace that antenna with a ham radio setup. Maybe even a police scanner; go incognito with comms gear.

[@billredding2000]

Sounds like you're not happy with too many things about your Gladiator Willys...maybe a different model Gladiator would have been better. Or, maybe not even a Gladiator at all. I have none of those complaints about my Gladiator Rubicon (V6 gas, did NOT want diesel) -- it's pretty much what I wanted right out of the box, as-is from the factory. Will be keeping it stock (no lift, larger tires, etc, things most people do). Yeah there are a few minor things I'd prefer, but nothing worth mentioning or doing a video about. It's fun to drive every time I get in it and anywhere I'm going -- off-road, around town, or a long trip on the Interstate. :-) No complaints here...except the MPG numbers but I knew that right up front, as a "serious" 4x4 vehicle (lifted/large tires, no front air dam) just doesn't get great MPG -- none of them do. But I get very decent MPG on the freeway, and City MPG has gone up a bit at ~2600 miles on the odometer presently). And with the Gladiator (and Wrangler), we can add their "antiquated design" to the mix: A mostly vertical box on wheels -- not very aerodynamic for sure. But that's fine with me, because for MY needs I can't think of a BETTER choice than my Gladiator Rubicon (especially here in Colorado), even though in this MID-size truck segment, there are HARDLY ANY choices for a serious 4x4 on-road/off-road truck! For me, there were ONLY two: The Gladiator and Chevy Colorado ZR2. And no, I didn't want a FULL-size truck (Raptor, Power Wagon, TRX, etc.) or else I would have gotten one. ;-) As for Gladiators trim-level & performance-wise, there were ONLY TWO I considered (worth) getting: Rubicon and Mojave. Were I still living in West Texas desert area (ELP) I'd likely have gotten the Mojave. But up here in Colorado, the Rubicon is more "appropriate." ;-) I usually say "Happy Gladiator-ing" to other Gladiator owners...but from your "depressing" video, I don't think you really enjoy yours (so I won't). -- BR

Man, there isn't anything wrong with that Jeep!

The ONLY thing I don't like...is I don't have one yet. Yay

Towing a T@G XL Boondock behind my 2019 Colorado Z71 I get 17 MPG, without trailer it's about 23.

Great trucks! I love mine. The only thing I hate is the halos don’t shut off, and the start stop nonsense

[@steveg9162]

love mine tooo, just wish there was a way to shut the start/stop off all the time and not everytime you get in the truck.

If you get a Tazer you can shut off the stop/start.

How is that antenna in terms of picking up signals? Is it at least as good as the stock?

[@OffbeatMotors]

No issues with it at all. My reception is not effected.

[@letsgorangers5264]

Thanks. I appreciate your response. Beautiful truck. I hope you enjoy it and have good luck with it.

[@DorkPrince]

That's all good and well but keep in mind where he lives. A paperclip would nearly be enough between Houston and Dallas. If the radio doesn't tune the station well it's probably because it's desensitized due to the overwhelming megawatt transmitters major metros all have. A worse antenna actually could help in that case. That said, no clue how close he lives to either metro but judging by that clearing in the trees behind a concrete wall, what looked like either a regional/international airport or a budding new subdivision not yet built, I'd say not that far.

[@maxturgidson568]

Windshield wiper speed isn’t a thing. If you think you need fast you need clean the windows. As you eventually mention If you don’t like rainx… you didn’t do it right

6000 lbs towing. Get your facts wight....

[@alfreddoumtaz215]

I had 8.4 in my grand cherokee. and the offroad page was useless cause as ssoon as you need to check something else the page has to be reloaded again and it takes time. it is cool but disapointing anyway. you get a GPS that sucks compared to google map so also never used it from 2018 to 2024 lol. Google car play better. scren was bogger but back up cam was bad comprared to my gladiator. gladiator has everything in the middle console all you need seriously. 8.4 gave me wifi but shared plan with my phone plan. that i can do with my phone dirrectly.

[@rambokd]

Is your gladiator a six speed? I thought only the manual transmissions gladiators were 4000 pounds? If you didn’t get any tow package maybe then it’s limited to 3500 or 4000? In that case 5 out of 7 of your hate about your truck was choice. The antenna and the dead pedal.

[@chrisreynolds2410]

Dude definitely wants to complain

I have a 2021 Willys max tow package. Don’t know if it was not a option for 2020 but it’s available for the 2021 Willys.

[@OffbeatMotors]

The Willys trim was not available in 2020. It’s a 2021 package. With the Willys package , you can only get a Tow Package, not a Max Tow Package. I’d recommend checking your Monroney Label and if you don’t see 4.10 gears, that there’s no way you have Max Tow.

[@tonyk7899]

If you have the tow package it should be 6000lb max. Max tow takes you to 7650 and more total payload.
