Used 2022 Jeep Gladiator Consumer Reviews
2022 Sport S Altitude Blacked-Out
Owned 2 Months. This is truly the most fun vehicle out there. So much utility. It should be called the “Transformer”. It quickly transforms from a beach buggy, ATV, pick-up truck, highway or around-town VW Thing-like vehicle, open air transporter, convertible, or to a fine dining transport. Especially if you’re an outdoor person. It handles backroads, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, dunes cruising, towing many different things, and on and on, and on. Limitless. During the last 2 months, I’ve had no problems and loads of fun. I chose a boatload of options, but after delivery added side steps, sill protectors, LED headlights; bed mat (over molar sprayed bed liner), and a few trailer hitch accessories.

Great all around vehicle
I have a ‘21 Mojave edition with Manual transmission. I love it! Great ride, fun to drive, and super practical. Having had Wranglers in the past, the Gladiator is slightly less sporty but significantly more practical for me with the bed. The interior is great, exterior design is awesome IMO - reminds me of an old Powerwagon and doesn’t look like all of the other generic trucks. Fuel economy is what I expect for a midsize truck - I average around 17-18mpg. The only negative for me is the gearing particularly with the manual transmission. Gearing is way to tall. 6th gear is barely useable at all(only useable at 80mph or more). Shorter gearing in the trans or 4.56 gears would be a big improvement in performance, city mpg and probably even help highway mpg(prevent lugging in 6th gear) Overall, this is an awesome vehicle and I highly recommend it.

2021 Gladiator steering issues
Bought a '21 Gladiator. Steering was terrible, jeep wandered all over the road. I can't believe I wasn't pulled over for suspected drunk driving. I tried all different tire pressures. Dealer replaced the steering box and damper which didn't do anything. I loved everything about the jeep but after 3 months I sold it as the steering was so bad it was not any fun to drive, it was actually fatiguing to drive. Jeep has to fix this steering problem. Unfortunately I won't be buying another jeep for a long time to come.

AEV edition “JT370”
Is it worth 72k? Only time will tell, the AEV package looks and drives great, Mpg with the 37’s is 19.4 combined and that’s not on flat ground, with several trips to the mountains, elevations to 14k ft. The audio unit lacks enough volume at hwy speeds with either windows down or top off. The 4.56 gears are excellent and it moves the 37’s with ease both on and off road, is the Gladiator rubicon/AEV perfect no, the seats could be more comfortable but I can’t help but to love the beast, next week I’ll add a tonneau cover to further enhance mpg or too keep my camping gear dry..I’ll be happy with either. Oh I found using 89-91 octane increased mpg from 17 to 19.4 is it worth the extra $, or about 5$ per tank I guess lol. So my only concern is whether the gladiator is reliable long term, and will it retain value..it’s early but here’s hoping

Gladiator Diesel = Beast
This is a really cool vehicle with any platform engine offered. The turbo diesel however has a ton of power and will get you rolling in a quick manner. Love this thing! Update after 5000 miles this truck continues to be a versatile, powerful and economic truck. Living in the Appalachian Mountains doesn’t typically allow for good fuel economy, yet refilled an empty tank that averaged miles per gallon on Sunday. Update approaching 20,000 miles and still no problems whatsoever and fuel mileage has improved. I now never average under 22 mpg. And most of the time the average for a tank of fuel is above 24 mpg in the mountains. Still an awesome vehicle with tons of power for the platform.
