How its 4 stars it should be 1 star
Well thats a gladiator not a wrangler
That’s a nice wall. Strong
Sometimes we just need to build a strong wall.
Not as strong as me, I can stop TWO Jeep Gladiators
I come here as an owner of a 2021 Gladiator Sport S ecodiesel who was involved in a head on collision at approximately 80kmh. I was hit by a driver who crossed the centre line and struck my drivers side mostly. Those of you doubting the ability of the overlap capabilities of this platform, your sadly wrong and I was able to walk away with minor injuries. The other driver was in a Chevy Tahoe, about 2005 ish or so. His vehicle exploded, he suffered serious injuries and was air lifted. I attribute modern vehicle design and safety, along with being in a solid, tough built Jeep Gladiator. I wish I could share pictures, which are posted in Gladiator Forums, but Im buying another Gladiator. It saved my life and I was able to come to my family the same day.
If you have a link to the forum page, feel free to share it!
I had a 60 MPH collision in my Gladiator when a car in the left lane of the interstate had a blow out and flew into my lane and I T-Boned them going 60. My girlfriend and I walked away without any injuries at all, while the other car all went to the hospital. The Gladiator saved us and I bought another after that.
The only reason you did not end up in the hospital is because you where the one that did the "T-bone" if YOU where the one that GOT "T-boned" at 60mph, you would be the one in the hospital. this has nothing to do with the Gladiator being safe to drive, because many tests have been done and the Jeep Gladiator is VERY poor, Primary because it has no crumple zones and that causes the Driver and Passenger to take the full Blunt of the impact, which is REALLY bad. i'm glad you're okay but the only thing your accident has proven is that you're VERY lucky, also a little lesson on why its more dangerous to get "T-boned" then to be the person that's doing the "T-bone" Its because when you're the one that "T-bones" another car, the side of that Persons car is actually absorbing the impact for you, if you was the one that got "T-boned" then it would work the same way for the person who hit your car. Now if you got into a Head on collision at 60mph, you would most Certainly be dead, or in Critical condition in a hospital. Please don't think the jeep gladiator is a safe car BEACUSE ITS NOT, and im telling you this because I don't want you to have the Wrong idea in your head because I care about you.
@@Zesmas Gladiator is the best. You are just jealous.
crash test is against almost undeformable structure
@@antiantifans1914 нечего подобного, он все правильно написал
@@antiantifans1914the best at what? Being slow? UgIy? Overpriced?
That passenger didn’t even flinch before impact... impressive!
Well done Jeep. Passenger capsule intact. Legs and feet aren’t deformed under the dash and into the pedals. A-pillars and cowling above windshield did not buckle and maintained strength. Front of vehicle absorbed impact very well. Dummy heads hit square into the airbags. I do wish these types of tests would have “expert voice analysis” to walk us through what the engineers see.
Just spoke to a guy who showed us his after being in a 4 car pile up. He was at a complete stop due to unexpected traffic on the hwy. He was hit from behind. Vehicle was going between 45-50mph. His front end slammed into the car in front of him so hard it lifted it up over his bumper. Only damage on the Jeep was to the front and back bumper.
Very happy with that. That impact is to a flat and solid barrier. Seeing hundreds of accidents in my career that means it would hold up great against another vehicle where they both have a crumple zone. Also good to note is how the modern airbags don’t put out that horrible white cloud.
This is a horrible crash test, this is why I will never drive a jeep. There is next to no absorption of energy here, all that energy is going to the passengers.
@@marknelson3830this is against a fixed wall. Against an uninsured Nissan Altima driver, the Jeep is going to win every time and I’m good with that
@@DanielDaniel1 The jeep may "win" but you won't. This crash test is one of the easiest to pass with flying colors AND THIS IS AT ONLY 35 MPH!! The Jeeps frigid body structure stores the energy throughout the body and directly into the passengers. If you slow it down do you see how abruptly and sharply their bodies and especially heads move a snapping motion. Yes you stop suddenly in a car accident but nothing like this. To show how little energy was absorbed you can look at that back wheels they pop up from the ground that means all of the energy was still going through the car and it barely absorbed any. The car that completely crumples and absorbs most energy before it gets to you is a much much safer car than any type of "Jeep" type of car.
The chassis with the ladder frame is very strong but that causes that the energy comes hard on the passengers!!!
Well the one thing they did right was the fact that the cab didn’t buckle in any way like an older vehicle would
Exactly. Doesn't seem to be much crush so more energy transferred to passengers.
Plus... Main driver airbag appears inadequate.
Would like to see offset Crash instead, & Side collision crash!!
RAZOR RAMON THE BAD GUY side collision likely won’t fair well. The wrangler doesn’t perform well with that crash and it’s a similar design
@@Cbv1914 The Jeep Gladiator is much longer than the Wrangler, it won't flip.
@@kebab3703 I didn’t say anything about flipping.
@@Cbv1914 Don't care, I am just stating it.
Looks like it did great for a convertible truck!
Possibly because it has a frame.
I'll be more impressed if it performs similar when they do the offset crashes. Just because of it being more realistic.
Not true. I was in an offset head on collision at 80kmh. I never rolled and was able to walk out of the Jeep. I hate when people assume it performs the same in one single control overlap against a solid fixed object. Thats why these tests are often flawed and very debatable. I survived with minor injuries, other driver in a Tahoe was air lifted. These are very safe platforms.
@@betweenthepines4000 which wheel base did you crash in, the shorter wheel base 2 door seems to flip more easily.
Its amazing how the windshield didn’t crack
Considering I’ve gone through 2 already from just daily driving I was also amazed at that lol!
someway, somehow, the windshield didnt break. a 5mm rock did mine in
Who let that dummy drive?
grizzlypeak
Right? He drove a brand new vehicle straight into that wall/obstacle!
1:05 - When you and the girls are going to the beach and you reach down and take a sip of your white claw and don't see the Hummer in front stopped.
The Hummer is a cheap plasticky crap pile
just enough depends what kind of hummer we’re talking about here
American Knight Not the H1s, but the latter indeed.
Imagine a 50 or 60 miles per hour collision, it would not be good. This is only 35 mile per hour. But no vehicle can handle what kind of pressure.
The way doesn't give, cars do
I love my Jeep gladiator rubicon
same
Those interior cameras are amazing.
Looks pretty safe to me now I don't see any real injuries
The problem is though is that the front end doesn’t crumple as much as a normal car so all that energy gets sent to the passengers
side impact is another story
The under belly view is just lovely
Solid, Jackson!!!!!
Wow they picked a manual transmission for the test. How often do the testers see that nowadays?
Automatic transmission is a $2k option on jeep wranglers and gladiators nowadays
@@jawgernaut01 That can't be right. It may be more but $2K is too much.
@@erikkovacs3097 it is when you have fancy 8-9 speed automatics. engineering ain't free
@@0xsergy Prices always go down as manufacturing is optimized. So while these transmissions get more complicated their prices are coming down. One of the major factors bringing prices down consolidation, this transmission is used by many manufacturers from BMW to Maserati.
@@erikkovacs3097 you're right, thats why that 6spd manual is so cheap. theyve been making and optimizing it for a decade
glad to see it's not some horrible catastrophe, considering how small boxy interior this has and how "convertible" it is
I actually witnessed close up a very bad accident. An idiot in a Jeep Wrangler JK(4 door) tried to pass on the shoulder right after a bridge. There was a metal guardrail and the jeep hit the side of the truck it was passing then hit the guardrail and it shot the Jeep into oncoming traffic. The Jeep then hit a rent-a-center moving van(box van). It was was head on and off set slightly... speed was about 70. The driver of the moving van did not survive. Both passengers in the Jeep survived with minor injuries. The Jeep did have a heavy duty front bumper and about a 3 inch lift. The other accident I seen was a Jeep pulling out in front of a Ford f250... F250 was going about 45 mph... the Jeep rolled over to its side and the Jeep did not cave in on the side as I would have expected.
no one was hurt so it's a safe car
"Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it."
56km/h and 100% overlap? In 2020? It's the perfect kind of accident. Such a blow sustained cars and 30 years ago. What is the meaning of this test?
So right, the crash testing needs to be performed to today's average highway speeds. Oh but wait, that would be to gory for YT use and permissions.
Feel good driving my gladiator now
I was ready to rip on it but I can’t really.
Why did the passengers move so far forward with seat belts fasten
because otherwise it would be very large amount of force on the driver
Real people wouldnt be sitting that far forward.
I think the drivers side didn’t lock up, or didn’t function properly, you can see the passenger was arrested quite nicely by the seat belt, but the driver continued to move forward until the steering wheel airbag and steering wheel stopped him. (Yes I know swat belts are not made to arrest your forward movement instantly, but they should also slow you down somewhat, and the driver dummy did not slow down until his body was up on the steering wheel) but who are we kidding, if your in this, thing, you just spent $50k+ for something that’s doesn’t function well as a Jeep, truck or off-roader, and in my opinion the only “truck” that worse is the Tesla Truck lol but in all honesty, if this was styled in the likings of a refreshed old jeep gladiator, I’d be all over this, but they just adulterated a wrangler and threw a bunch of left over parts and pieces lying around the factory together.
Marvin Wilson because they don’t hit the brakes during these tests. The vehicle is in neutral and pulled into the wall. My guess is it represents the worst case scenario.
At 35 mph, the frame damage is pretty much a total loss. Kinda expected it to fair better.
they dont design cars to being fixable its about you living insurance is there to take care of that problem
@@mattmopar440 It failure in design. Nothing is built to last. Safety is just an excuse to make things breakable. There are plenty of other ways to make things safe.
@@ChannelZeroOne the Jeep has Dana 44 axles with greasable hubs bearings and U joints manual transmission it's probably one of the longest lasting vechile build if you do the maintenance
But you need to understand it has to be build to absorb and channel energy away from the occupants and in the process of absorbing that energy it will get damage but you won't
@@ChannelZeroOneSafety is just a excuse? It would be nice to not have to replace a car in a accident, but no thanks, I'd rather live.
@@THEFIRE360 Are you effin seriously ok with this? You ain't gonna die at 35mph.
At 35 mph this truck is toast. You realize the total loss damage would occur at a speed less than 35 mph. Sadly all vehicles are built that way now. Trucks used to be the exclusion. At 60 or so I would expect "possible" frame damage. At 35mph I would not expect such damage?
It seems everyone is ok with shit manufacturing processes now. The frame could be a hell of lot stiffer. Especially considering it will be driven off road by some adrenaline junkie..
Solution for road ragers and tailgaters? Paint your car like this.

Such an u deer rated comment!
Amazing how fast 💨 the airbags deployed
Airbags deploy at a little over 100mph
@@buckeye9252 I can imagine😒 I got in a wreck about a year ago and my airbag deployed. Felt like God slapped me in the face😂
@@z-max9033 Lol yeah Ive been in a couple myself. They got those things dialed in. Ps cute puppy
Sadly, the spider didn't fare well. 2:40.
At least it didn't catch on fire !
I like the white spray paint. It screams “good enough for government work” 🤣
Is anyone else intrigued by the painting made on the airbags by the faces? I thought that was pretty cool....
Common practice, and old !
Hope they are ok
The body is really stiff...what happen to making cars absorb impacts by using better crumble material??
Actually that's what Ford has been doing with their aluminum trucks, also, most vehicles were build very stiff and solid before, which made impacts harsh af and dangerous and some vehicles still have the same design to follow the idea of "more hard and stiff the better as it won't crush or be damaged much" but in reality it just makes the impact for the driver and passenger worse.
Pretty rigid, doesn't have much crumple zone impact absorption. That's bad as it means much more force transferred to the passengers and the driver looks to have moved pretty deeply into the airbag possibly hitting the steering wheel.
still better than the passenger compartment collapsing...I really didnt expect much more of a crumple than that, it IS a full-frame, solid axle vehicle and not a unibody after all.
They always do the test in neutral and no breaks, so the seatbelt isn't locked holding them back as much. I think it did pretty well they gave it 4 star driver and five star pass.
The impact is transferred to the second vehicle. Obviously not good against a solid object, but Jeeps always won in every 2 vehicle accident I’ve seen them in.
How many vehicles of a make does an auto manufacturer have to submit to NHTSB to be destroyed?
They’re making cars so safe can’t even drive your car off a bridge these days.
Get the JL Wrangler. It only got 1 star. That’s hard to do.
@@eastwardExpansion It got a 1 star from the IIHS because it doesn't have safety tech. It doesn't have safety tech because it gets heavily modified and would mess with safety systems
I don't know Bill, you did lie about having sexual relations with that woman, so who knows if you are telling the truth.
@@matthewpaine6908 🤣👍
@@matthewpaine6908 Rabbi Donald j Trumpstein said the man is telling the truth.
4 stars is good to me. Wonder if Rubicon with steel bumpers and rocksliders changes anything?
steel bumpers change everything have you never seen one in an accident usually the receiving car passengers are killed
w s l I go to accidents all the time but not front end involving a wrangler. Usually it’s a young driver that rear ends a Jeep at lower speeds. I have yet to go to one where a jeep hit a car at speed with steel bumpers.
@@cpgeorge2518 this should give you a bit of an idea of what happens
th-cam.com/video/1LCntpxA7h0/w-d-xo.html
w s l any lifted vehicle into the B-pillar of a sedan will almost always be fatal
@@cpgeorge2518 right and a jeep with a steel bumper and or winch will almost always be lifted
Why are the passengers sitting so close? Most people sit further away.
Agree!
Did they have to use the best paint for the crash test? Honestly, what are we doing here?
How often do people crash into a solid flat wall
Who gave NHTSA the 🔑 to my jeep?
What about partial front impact. Will it flip like the wrangler JL ?
I want to see a side test with the doors and roof off
Menudo tanque, vi un accidente donde estaba involucrado uno de estos vehículos creo que es en Estados Unidos dónde hay un camión o alguna furgoneta no recuerdo bien el caso es que se le desprende una rueda y la rueda va a parar a un vehículo que venía en sentido contrario el caso es que fue este modelo de Jeep y al jeep para lo que le tenía que haber pasado no le pasó nada... parece exagerado pero diría que es incluso mejor que Audi
The windshield didn’t even brake.
Shoot Son! That'll buff out! Call #goonzquad!
how many stars?
Rating isn't currently available on NHTSA.
@@CarPro1993 I bet jeep doesn't want it rated...
@@cameron20020 It got four stars for the driver, and 5 for the passenger. Not bad.
@cameron20020 So what other vehicles on the market right now with removable top, removable doors and removable windshield has 4 and 5 star crash ratings?
@@FJDH11 Wrangler...
Curiosidade... O que são feito com estes veículos depois do teste?
So the engine is a crumple zone?
Death wobble (painted orange)
Surprisingly good. Would figured there’s a lot of weak spots on this one
2:43 is that a spider?🤣🤣
Fiat is doing a pretty good job.
Why is the JL an offset crash and the JT full front impact crash?
They will do another one just wait
The lack of airbags is not impressive
Jeeps use the other car as their crumple zone. I have yet to see a jeep vs car accident where the jeep and its driver didn’t fare better than the other car. All I know is that in an accident, I’d prefer to be the survivor.
Dibs on the rear axel
Coming after the Wrangler loose agains bronco 😭😭
Note jeep is not obligates to pass side impact. Or roll over otherwise, they'd get a 0 like they did in eruppe and Australia
That’s a 35mph test. Not 60
That's correct. 35 Mph, which is 56 kilometers per hour.
5:52 Spider on-board with no seatbelt!
Well! Just replace the front clip and a new radiator! And keep driving it!👌😂👍pretty good!
I hope everybody understand that jeeps are EXTREMELY dangerous in an accident because they are too ridged, what i got from this crash test is that the Jeep gladiator is no exception. it has NO crumple zones, so when you hit something, the driver and passengers are absorbing the full impact. THIS IS NOT GOOD, this is not what a safe car looks like in an accident. just because the car is in good shape after the accident does NOT mean its safe. the jeep gladiator is NOT a safe car to drive, despite what anybody tells you from their Crash experiences. I recommend everybody do research on this matter before considering getting one of these jeeps.
It doesn’t behave like a car. Jeep engineers use the height to absorb the impact by the engine acting like a giant shock absorber as it rotates around the solid front axle and downward, but hey, what do trained engineers know? 🤷♂️
Вот это корпус
Crash tests are not realistic in that most accidents happen while the brakes are applied, pitching the nose down.
Chassis must be bent from center
Barely made it thru the flat test. I can hardly wait to see the small offset test...YIKES!
Here is an idea... DON'T FUCKING CRASH THEM
Actually, it’s worst than other trucks tested. The lower body hit the counsel under the wheels on both sides. If it’s a real person...that person will be paralyze from the legs down for life.
$143 mo for jeep or $600 mo for f150 you do math ???????????????
have a Christmas sale right now lease jeep
@Justin Henry just the tailgate !
$293/month lease for the sport not sport s. Rubicon is like $500+ lease base price.
Even if the Ford was 40 a month, it would be way too much.ford is garbage.
i was hoping a jeep would crush a party, not what um seeing from this view...no tough guy now
A can of beans
Minuto 4:15 chasis doblado
Dash came down on feet and knees needs to be stronger
Really, 35 MPH? Nobody drives that slow anymore.

Must be safer with the top and doors off!
Good for Trump wall
No side or curtain air bags. Pretty ugly vehicle.

Ha 56 kph thing is totaled
Thats the sport model that is trashhhh🤣
Shocking something so ugly and hideous did so well.
The truck held together great. Which means the passengers aren't walking the same for the next 10 years, they would absorb too much of the force
@@billyray4716 Further investigating into the star rating for this truck was 4 star driver 5 pass.
Why not just buy a truck? Jeeps are way over priced for what you get.
That is true but there adventure vehicles and convertible not to mention they hold value because of this.
i never understood why they use vehicles loaded with options why not use a base or somewhat stripped down version i get it has to have the engine trans and major stuff but why does it need an indash entertainment system?
this is not a loaded jeep
@@jjhydrama im not talkimg about lift kits and all the dumb grumpers for a stock jeep other than leather seats what else is missing?
@@fukkyoutube this jeep isn't heavily loaded, looks like whatever base model with an automatic....the better optioned ones have color matched fender flairs, leather and etc....its not loaded..
Based off the rims alone that looks like the Sport S model which is one step above the base, base model...
Clearly you are clueless as to what people buy!
