Lemon
My boyfriend traded in 2016 F350 Platium 4x4 diesel low miles for this pickup due to not needing big truck anymore. I was very skeptical on this vehicle to begin with but he liked it and thought it was cool. I always accessorize all my vehicles went through all that expense. My boyfriend immediately said that something was wrong with the steering and was going to take it back to the dealership then all of a sudden the check engine light comes on we only have 2,000 miles on this vehicle. Took it to the dealership they told him it was bad gas which I thought was weird. Took it back home after the check engine light was off and it came back on again. Took a back to the dealership again it sat there for a week because they said their diagnostic machine was down. I just told my boyfriend I think it's a lemon get rid of it. Even if they fix it it may still keep having problems. This cured me from ever buying a Jeep again. Took a huge loss on his trade in of this vehicle. Dealership says there's no such thing as lemon law and I didn't want to fight. I will still complain to Jeep Corporation.
don't buy yet, maybe never...wait and see
I bought this Jeep and got a lemon. It had issues the first day I bought it, and after months and months of issues, Jeep finally agreed to buy it back. Over 10 trips to different dealerships, no one could fix it, even though they involved Chrysler engineers. This is a new vehicle, and there will be more lemons and issues than an established model, but this is not a vehicle I would buy again, even if I knew I was not going to get a lemon. One reason is we were not treated well by Jeep Cares. We had to go thru hoops, leave the truck for a week at a time at the dealership while the pondered the issue - over and over. Told the issue was bad gas, told to run tanks of premium gas thru it, although it came day one with issues - which if it were bad gas, all Gladiators would have the same issues. So after being a 15 year long loyal Jeep customer, I was shocked and staggered at the lack of care, the retractions of what they said they would do etc... Very disappointing. But the Jeep itself had design issues for me. One is that the gas tank is small, and gas mileage so low that you could not go far on a tank of gas. I went on one long road trip and was having to refill every three hundred miles. The other is for the price, you don't get the features of other trucks at the same price. The truck I bought didn't have keyless entry and autostart. The radio and lights didn't work all the time, flashed off. Maybe that was part of the problem the engine was having. Not sure, just seemed flaky. I like the look and the drive was rough and loud, but it's a Jeep, so that was OK for me. Another concern of mine is that when I went on a long trip, from Milwaukee to Tucson, I saw two other Gladiator's the entire trip. Two. I saw hundreds and hundreds of trucks, I drove thru Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico (so maybe thousands of trucks!) - but I only saw two Gladiators. It's very concerning they are not selling well at all. I feel it's the price point for what you get and word of mouth of initial issues. So now I am back to looking for a new truck, and because of Jeep's poor treatment of me and my issues and because of the small gas tank, and known problems with the Gladiator I am definitely not going to get a Gladiator.

The Jeep Swiss Amy Knife
Traded my 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for a 2020 Overland. It is so much easier to load my kayak into the bed than install the roof racks, hoist the kayak over 6’ in the air, and strap it down. The interior is better done than the JKU and it rides better than my Sahara even though it’s a pickup truck. Compare the models before buying. The 2020 Mojave I drove was better equipped but the steering wander was awful. The Overland is a perfect daily driver. My 4th and probably at my age last Jeep. All the fun of a Wrangler with the flexibility of a pickup truck.
