I have the 2020 Gladiator and love it. Unlike other Jeeps long wheel base makes smooth ride at 80 mph no wobble. Lots of features.

I just bought mine monday and It's awesome! Instead of my wife and I having multiple cars living in Florida we have a truck that can pull our 4600lb travel trailer, a convertible and a 4wd beach runner. Best automotive decision ever! People bitch about the price but try to find all of the things this truck can be in as many vehicles as it takes and see what is spent. We love putting the top down and just drive around looking for interesting roads and trails.

What a great review I've been watching a ton of your older videos since I'm looking for a car and helps me narrow my options dowm

Simple and get to the point review. So easy to understand even for a non english speaker like me. Good job like always

I like the color on this Jeep!! Nice job Joe.

Ooo Weee another great Jeep review from awesome Joe Raiti. I love the Wranglers Sahara and Rubicons 4 door trims, and yes the almighty RUBICON!!!!🥊🥊♥️♥️. Would love to see a 2019 or 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 1 day. Thanks Joe.

I promise you there's not one time I Search on KZread for a review Joes video is always first thing I see he really is the best

Great video and review, was looking at one the very same up here in Canada. They are really pricey, but very cool.

Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

Do only certain models come with the non functional hood vents or can you option them?

These are leasing for under $400, in the $350-380 range. That’s about the only affordable way to get a Wrangler/Gladiator. Despite the absurd MSRP they at least retain their value so can you save a ton on your payments by just leasing

Best vehicle reviewer!

Can you explain why they have two shifting gears and what do they do when you are driving thanks

I’ve never owned a Jeep though I’ve always thought they are pretty cool. At 50K for that, is why my Jeep admiration will continue to be from a distance.

The Gladiator looks like it will sell like the Wrangler Unlimited. Seems like as soon as they hit the dealership they're sold.

Do you think the front bumper vents are a step as well. Like those on rear bumper?

The entry price point for jeeps have always remained in question. When you look at the price tag and the prices on resale value, it then comes to make sense.

Joe, how tf do you manage to have so many vids in one day?

Ive had mine 3 months I did not need a Rubicon, traded in a 20 18 Tacoma TRD, this trucks rides so much better and gets better mileage than the Tacoma the 8 speed is a amazing, And before the Toyota haters start on reliability band wagon my wife has been driving Grand Cherokees for years with this same engine and trans no issues, everyone forgets the 3.6 was designed by Benz when Dailmer owned them it is a world class engine

I can't believe how smooth the transmission is. I traded in a 2018 ten speed ford f150 and it's so much smoother shifting. It's also a lot more fun to explore in.

The biggest zonk is the price. What in the world was FCA thinking with that msrp?🤦🏾‍♂️

If only FCA would drop a 5.7L Hemi in it, watch sales skyrocket. For those willing to wait, give it a year and you'll have a diesel option and probably see a $8-$10K discount from MSRP.

its all in the options. Like many other vehicle the base price is reasonable for what it is.. but then you deck it out and the pricing gets up there quick. At least its not like the colorado or "mid size" trucks that start high then get insane with just one or two option upgrades.

I bought a 2020 Toyota Tacoma Trd for $45000 and a nobo 168 camper same week. The Toyota sucked. Could handle the towing and was 4x2. I now drive the Gladiator 2020 overland with 8 speed ZF automatic. It’s 10 times the rig the Toyota was. 48,000$ used with 30,000 miles. Dana 44 difs 3” lift with 35’s. Worth every penny. Couldn’t be happier !!!

Agreed over priced..... but really fun

I wouldn't buy any new Jeep. Start building em like the XJ again, and I'll come back and buy em, till then, nope!

@@67wildwolf I have owned 3 Jeeps in the past. The last one was a Fiat/Chrysler version and it was crap. Any Questions? I didn't think so. You sound like a typical Jeep shill.

I want to love Jeep. I really do. I've owned two of them, the classic Cherokee with the straight six engine. I just can't get behind the new versions. The Gladiator is not pleasing on the eyes. The front looks fine. The back looks gimmicky, especially the taillights. The price for all Jeeps are beyond overpriced. Way, way out of control. This vehicle isn't worth $35k, much less $50k. Then you have to figure in FCA quality. I have three friends with newish Wranglers. All of them have had issues. From engine issues to windows that stopped working to wipers that won't shut off, even with the ignition off. The ONLY way I ever get another Jeep is if they become their own brand and away from FCA. Bottom line.

I am so glad that you liked this one Jin!

wranglers are incredibly capable little machines, especially the 2 door rubicon, but I believe the gladiator was a huge design flop on jeeps part. FCA should have kept the pickups in the RAM brand and just made a new dakota or a RAM 1000. This truck is too offroady and loses too much practicality doing so. In the quest for making a more compact, city and global ready pickup truck they could of made the ram 1000 with a reg/double cab, a 6.5 bed and some ram boxes to make it viable as a city vehicle, or a reg cab 8' bed as a work truck, and scale it all the way up to a limited trim just like the 1500 with a crew cab, a 5.5 bed and to have the luxury brand level interior. Just a huge mistake on FCA's part, making it a wrangler based truck limited it too much with too high of a price floor.

I believe a version of this will be made for Ram with more focus on the pickup aspect

Fiat owns Jeep. These are not Jeeps of old, but I like the design.

New corvette mid engine. 60K....This model can be optioned out to 60K....decisions...decisions...lol...Manuel rear window for 50 plus... Most people who want to buy this jeep..can't afford this jeep....It will make your neighbor jealous. Which is the real point of this odd truck
