Getting “flashed all the time” doesn’t mean your lights are great, it means they are pointed to high. If people are flashing you when you are on low beams you need to adjust them...
I just ordered a Gladiator sport S eco diesel yesterday. Currently the 2021’s come with the Jeep Wave program where you pay no maintenance costs for the first 3 years including oil changes on the diesel which is a nice bonus!
I held out for the diesel Gladiator and picked it up last week, It's pretty cool especially the power. Estimated time of delivery was 6-8 weeks, it took 10 weeks and 4 days from time of order to arrival at dealership. It worth the wait.
I have 14mpg on my stock Glad Rubi on 33's it came with. Mostly city driving, but I plan to get an extended range gas tank when I install an Edelbrock E force supercharger. Gas mpg sucks anyway!
@@adam100a8 The standard V-6. 3.6L I took it on a 4 hour long highway trip to Northern Minnesota and got around 17.5 mpg averaging 70mph, which is not bad for a square brick.
I have 35s on a sport, I been places rubicons go, a little belly rub never hurt. Sure I want to do a 4.5 SJ long travel on 38s. But 35s are very capable!
I have a 2022 Gladiator Ecodiesel Rubicon. I get 27 mpg on highway and 25 mpg city but I am light on the pedal. I’m also in Albuquerque where we are at 5000 feet elevation and power is no issue.
dont you put it in low when you are in the trails? im surprised you are saying you are missing power.. those jeeps (wrangler rubicon, cherokee trailhawk, grand cherokee trailhawk, Gladiator rubicon) have excellent crawl ratio which multiply your power like crazy as long you are in low.
When your transmission is blown up because of those large tires and wheels the first thing the dealership will do for a warranty claim is take pictures of the vehicle and send it into Fca and then the void the repair have fun
I just got one. Love the diesel. Got every option. Biggest problem is finding the lift for it. I’m waiting for the Taraflex 3.5 lift with the falcon shocks. Supposed to be out in the summer
Did the LED headlights work well in the winter time and didn't have any snow buildup? Will you still be towing as much with the reduced numbers on the diesel? Why can't you wait until your diesels delivered to trade in your current gladiator?
I didn’t have as many issues with the led head lights in the winter. I also wiped them with rainx tho. No I probably won’t tow much since I bought a 2004 Duramax for my new tow rig. I didn’t want to chance wrecking my 2020 and messing up my trade. So I did it early while waiting.
Max Overland if I had the money to upgrade all the parts I would love to go to 42 one day and I’m about to get 38s soon but the Jeep is super capable with some small upgrades or even stock, Maybe with some squeaks and rattles here and there🏔
You’ll need to address the front suspension bottoming out as your first item. Mine will bottom out pulling in my driveway. Also, be advised, you may have some issues with overheating in warm weather. Keep an eye on the gauges in the off road pages. Mine went to 240 coolant and 264 oil while pulling 3500 lbs on a 75 degree day.
So I don’t tow with my gladiator anymore. I tow with a GMC Duramax. So that was the least of my worries. I switched to diesel because I love diesels and love the torque.
Have 2021 gladiator diesel been in the dealership 8 times they can’t fix the throttle control problem now dealing with fca to return it cause dealership can’t fix it
I have a 2021 Gladiator Diesel...Ive always gone back and forth between ram 3500 cummins and wrangler jku...Finally I have the Vehicle that can do what i need. Absolutely Love my Gladiator Eco diesel!!! Amazing off road ability and the ability to tow a trailer for my family. You'll be happy you did!
I am pretty sure by 2022 they will have a 392 option, over 400lbs of torque, 470hp ,but I guess your shop will be ready and you don't mind trading again. I see the Diesel has LESS towing capabilities than the V-6?
I’m actually trading my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Diesel in for a gasser. I’ve had enough of the DEF issues in the winter up here in Canada. You’d think that by Gen 3 of the ecodiesel they’d have it worked out. Enjoy. When it’s working the torque is wonderful for sure:
I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Quadcab 4wd 3.0L. The 3rd generation Ecodiesel engine has me thinking about a Ecodiesel JT or JL. My wife has a beastly 2018 Ram 2500 Crewcab 4wd 6.7L, for all the truck things we need to do. I enjoy my project '96 ZJ. So if I don't put a Cummins R2.8 crate engine in the ZJ. An Ecodiesel JT or JL could end up at my house. The extended range of a diesel is only part of the pleasure. The off idle performance. Sfter putting the Flowmaster muffler and the Bank's silencer silencer delete on the intake. Made the 3.0L a nice overlanding engine. A 4:1 ratio transfer case would enhance downhill control in steep terrain.
Ok im old really or just lack of knowledge which ever you choose. Your in Michigan and I'm just 30 minutes south of the border in indiana. Desiel scares me only cause I know them as jelling up in the winter. How if you park in the parking lot for 12 hrs a day do you keep it starting?
It’s all good man. Thanks for the question! There is a diesel additive that can prevent it from jelling. But winter edition diesel also is more resistant to jelling. If it does jell, there is emergency additive to turn it back into diesel. Hope this makes sense! Don’t be scared of them. I was a diesel tech for 7 years. They are not that complicated.
I'm going to put some 35's with slightly wider wheels on my Gladiator Sport, but keep my original wheels/tires and use them for towing and trips. Especially with gas heading to $3/gal.
You buy a vehicle that already gets crappy mileage, you remove the stock tires that it already gets crappy miles with and put 40s on and you expect better mileage?
Hahah heck no! I knew it would get crappy fuel mileage. But a guy can always hope for better. I am hoping to get better with the Diesel! But will shall see!
Check out the Lucas Diesel Deep Clean additive. I am a professional owner/operator with extensive experience with long term idling (unfortunately) as my rig is in a vocational off-road oilfield application. It's used a lot in PTO mode. So because of this I needed a way to keep the DEF particulate filter system as clean as possible. I was told to expect changing out my exhaust filters at about 7,000 hours. At a HUGE cost. Sooo..... I decided to look into this additive. So far I have 15,000+ hours and no replacement yet. Yes the additive is expensive but worth it. My opinion. I have ordered a gladiator diesel myself and this is what I plan to use. ALSO - do NOT use the prepackaged def sold in containers that sit on shelves. Product does deteriorate over time. Not to mention it's 3 times the cost of DEF at the pump. Most all major travel centers and truck stops now have DEF at the pump. Much fresher way to go. One of my jobs was to move bulk DEF by tanker. I see the difference. Big time. So when you get your rig - scope out your nearest retailer that has pump DEF and plan accordingly. Cheers!🍻
Argh.... The ecodiesel. While its nice to have options and maybe the torque calls to you, the mileage shouldn't. Someone did the calculations factoring in the extra cost, maintenance costs, and it should take you 300,000 miles to come out ahead on the mileage/cost factor. Glad you mentioned the history of the engine, its been around since 2014 with its problems. Lots of mechanics will steer you away from it because of its history. Basically, I think diesels have seen their heyday come and go. All the new emissions standards have had a big effect on the modern day diesel. Some states even want to ban them as polluters. I don't think you will find a diesel that will last you 300,000 miles these days. They are so complicated today. The beauty of a diesel was its simplicity and durability, not anymore with all the emission crap on it. Take that DEF fluid... You better use the finest quality and fresh Def fluid you can find, that 700 dollar def injector clogs up pretty easy. Plus there are a host of expensive sensors on that exhaust system, some as much as 600 dollars. Then again, I assume people keep their vehicles forever like I do. If you just keep them up until the warranty expires or shortly thereafter, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I'm old school I guess. I know people who have had their diesels around for 300k plus, but you know they are diesels because they are smelly, noisy, and dependable (polluters too).
My bros jeep JL with the turbo 4 and when he puts it in manual it doesn't shift and unless I kick my gladiator against the rev liminter it doesn't shift, like if I hold it at 5.5k its all good
I love my launch edition gladiator, we pull a dump trailer with a 1025r John Deere tractor while the doors and top is off and boy do I get a lot of looks. We also take our sea-doo to the water and getting a Yamaha jet boat so will need the gladiator over a wrangler. I don’t care about the gas mileage which is about 15 mpg with a 2” and 35’s
Diesel sounds great and all but if you’re trying to keep your max towing I’d say stick with the V6. With the added weight in the Diesel engine you’ll lose payload and towing capacity. I’ve read a lot into this and I’m gonna add a Ripp supercharger to mine. I’ll gain MPG, HP, and torque comparable to the diesel, and still keep the majority of my payload and towing capacity as the RIPP kit is only about 50lbs. If you don’t care about the towing then I guess go ahead but I say take a look into the RIPP kit.
If I didn’t just buy a GMC 2500 Duramax. I might care more about payload. Now I have no need to pull with the gladiator. It will be my toy and tow very light loads.
392 Gladiator, within 18 months, my best guess. Half Doors/Dual Door group, will be optional also. I think, there will be some trading and selling, going on.
What the oil change cost of the jeep diesel? I heard on another channel it's stupid expensive and a pain to do. And good luck deleting it. Epa crack down your probably going to have to go to Canada to get it done.
Dealer Paid 46.5k FOR MY 19 WRANGLER RUBICON. Want to know what I did? Bought a 21Gladiator EcoDiesel Overland w/ the 26N High Altitude quick order package that has 35" NRG and Fox shocks/stabilizer already on it.
@@MaxOverland I wanted to get one decently spec’d out for about 63k msrp. Saving for another 4 months and selling my E46 M3 and moving on to a off road vehicle for once. Not sure if it’s worth waiting for the 2023 version don’t know if it’s any upgraded
This truck isn't bad, you failed at engineering your build. You followed the blueprint (new gears and add weight without adding power to the motor) that every jeep builder follows without talking into account what your needs are. Next build tune the motor. you might want to even look into a smaller turbo so it spins up faster and delvers more power down low. Regearing is a very last resort.
There have been a few reports of disappointment with the diesel. Towing ain't so good. MPG ain;'t so good. But good luck, I'll keep my Gas and 35s.....with 18-23 MPG and plenty of lift for my likes.
LoL I chose a sport S ecodiesel and put Dana 60s with 4.88 gearing and I towed the max rating for it (6500lbs twin outboard) across arizona and still got 11 mpg on 40s. Unloaded it gets 21-23 on the highway. It will flat out embarrass the V6 on and off road
If you compare the cost of gas to diesel there isn’t much savings in the diesel. I own a Cummins and the maintenance is expensive. I’ve been looking at a gas Gladiator and even a Power Wagon. I don’t trust their new Ecodiesel if it doesn’t have Cummins stamped on it. The emissions, especially the EGR’s sound problematic. The Cummins has been great with the emissions, I’ve had zero issues. The 3.6 V6 has been around quite a while, so it’s a safer bet.
I love the look of these but if dodge brings back the dakota I see this thing dieing. If they do a hemi option it may prolong it but jeep doesnt keep platforms for more then a few years they tend to have lots of issues and and not sell well unless it's there wrangler or Cherokee
Sorry but I got to disagree the gladiator by far is better off road buat as far as towing or hauling the 4.7 will out last and out tow that v6 any day plus cost far less in maintenance, in 15yrs what's see if you say the same thing, my 05 dakota has 180k+ on it just done oil , brakes, and a set of bearings and do everything with it from hauling to hour long drives plus get 16 miles highway with a load
@@joshuatracy4829 umm, they stopped making that engine like a decade ago and I didn’t buy a gladiator for towing. The pentastar v6 is totally proven also
It's a reference I know they stoped making it about same time as the dakota. I'm saying other then off road capability the gladiator is lacking and in the end will cost way more in maintenance, If ram decides to enter the midsize market again and releases a truck for less I bet the gladiator wont last especially if they release it on a gladiator platform or even with a rebel package. I love the gladiator I'd own one but I personally wish ram had a midsize again and would buy and build that before a gladiator
@@joshuatracy4829 dude, people have been waiting years for another Jeep pickup,it’s not going anywhere. You know they stopped making the Dakota because the y weren’t selling anymore. Also a had 99, 318 four wheel drive extra cab and it was basically just every year for a sticker plan on wheel bearings and ball joints. Also a friend had a newer square Dakota with the 4.7(still has it) and the engine was replaced under the lifetime powertrain warranty they offered for like one year b4 they smartened up. Other than maybe being dramatically cheaper a Dakota is not gonna hurt gladiator sales. It apples and oranges. A little economy pickup is not a lifestyle vehicle like a wrangler,just check out the aftermarket support already and the insane builds. A Dakota even a really good one is not gonna stop the fanaticism of Jeep ppl,,,,at all,sorry. I did love my v8 Dakota back in the day but it had like 50less hp than my JT and got 10 mpg and blew thru ball joints and wheel bearings. New wranglers are bulletproof and the trade in values are like no other. These are facts not just my opinion. My 3rd wrangler... every time I try something else I go right back. Prob never drive anything else besides my mustang. I would t even consider another pickup unless Ford does the bronco pickup like they are talking about because of the gladiator,hello
Nice move. Check out the TH-cam Site "The Story Till Now" in British Columbia Canada. Shaun just test drove a new diesel with lift and tires and comments on the performance. Spanks the petrol version. Making me think of upgrading as well.
@@joshuatracy4829 I didnt wanna say it but yeah, the gladiator is plagued with the jeep curse, and for the price of a rubicon you can get a ram power wagon which is arguably much more capable
@@MaxOverland just giving a heads up. But I'm with you about the warranty stuff. Just wait till the time is right. Let us know how the first oil change goes. Price and any issues. You could get your oil checked though. I forget the company. A friend gets the oil in his harley checked once a year.
The EPA has cracked down hard on deleting diesels.. There are many shops that have been fined heavily and it’s only going to get worse as well as closed
They do. We were on steep inclines. After talking to a bunch of people. I’m thinking it was a safety thing on the jeep that kept my power down. With 5.13 gears it should of had enough to move those tires.
I have ran tests on the channel not asking people to subscribe. The videos I ask get way more traction when I ask. That being said I don’t feel like I’m begging. But if that’s how it’s coming across I appreciate you saying something.
@@MilesAHibbs thanks for the comment boss. When you trying to make this a legit side hustle. You have to research how to grow a channel. That’s one of the biggest things TH-cam recommends. And obviously put good content out. Hope y’all enjoy the content!
I agree for the most part. I’ve ran tests on videos that I didn’t ask and that I did ask. The ones I asked got way more traction that the ones I didn’t. The TH-cam algorithm picks up on activity. So once a channel is to a certified level they can pretty much stop asking. That’s my personal opinion. That being said, I don’t ask on all my videos.
Haha yeah I’m not crying, I got to drive and have fun with a truck for 2k. Bought it for 50k sold it for 48k. But guess your entitled to see what ever you want! :) I was simply explaining why I was trading it in.
@@MaxOverland Because you had to of known by putting a 2 1/2 inch lift and 40's on it would bring down the gas mileage. it's to much drag on the engine. it's just physics and now you're crying about a problem you created. We create our own storms, but then cry when it rains all the time.
@@MaxOverland I'm not seeing what i want, i'm seeing what you're obviously blind to which is yourself. your generation can't appreciate things for what they are, you have to buy the next shinny toy, till that shinny wears off. eventually you'll grow up and figure that out
@@spiritmediumdaniel7161 if I was crying about it I’d still have the rig. Instead I traded up to the diesel. Guys are getting 20mpg on 40’s. We will see if that is actually true here soon. :)
You are correct sir! I do like shiny new things! Been that way my whole life. Not sure why you feel the need to be annoyed with my life decisions 🤔. I’ll do me, you do you. 😁
What you didn’t like about the truck had nothing to do with the truck !! YOU put 40s on and thought your fuel mileage was going to be like a 4cyl Corolla ? YOU went to 5.13 gearing and felt that it was underpowered ! YOU got leather seats with 3 dogs? You know they have pointy things at the end of the feet right? This was clickbait uselessness !! Could’ve just said I’m trading my gladiator in for a different gladiator cause i thought you had some insight on possible issues with the vehicle but ok great your getting the diesel .. wonder if you’ll get 40s 5.13 gearing and leather seats ?!!
Your comment is uselessness.... Actually no the one I ordered has cloth seats. I’m also very well aware that Jeep’s don’t get food fuel mileage. I know two diesel owners on 40’s getting 20mpgz so what’s wrong with wanting a little more and getting 442lbs of torque. But thanks for watching! 🙌 hope you feel better now! 🤷♂️
@@MaxOverland you’re getting all pissy no need I was just critiquing your video in title and I was expecting some insight you made a video for the world to see and hear but what you gave was fluff !! If your title was simply “I’m getting something better than this JT” it would’ve been more informative more honest I’m glad you’re going diesel I think it’s a good move but your reasons for not liking your non diesel JT are lame ! You’re Max Overland for fks sake !! You’re taking shite personal, good !! You’re the man people are valuing your insight and you produce this crap !! Don’t be mad at me be mad with yourself for this nonsense where you’re trying to get viewers instead of making worthy content that people will use ... guess what? That will get you viewers! Good luck on the diesel hope to see some video of value good night
@@series9193 there’s a difference between critiquing someone’s content and attacking. I simply explained why I was trading in. Which is what my title was. So I don’t see how it’s click-bate. I didn’t have a ton to reasons why I traded in. Just a few so I explained them and they said I was buying the diesel. I had another vehicle at the time when I got my first one that had cloth seats so I wasn’t worried about the dogs. We sold that one and had to have the dogs in the JT. Sorry I got defensive boss. Just wanted to explain my feelings in this particular video. I also don’t usually do talking head videos. So that’s a new style for me. Hopefully my upcoming content of the diesel will be more informative.
@@MaxOverland I apologize I wasn’t trying to attack the title lead me to believe that there were some gremlins in the vehicle that only owners like you would know of I can’t go by what a salesman at a dealership says and definitely not the automaker so I’m relying of guys like you the professional and yeah you’re a professional I’d trust your word before an engineer who’s probably never even driven a Jeep !! You’re shite has impact you’re not just talking to a camera in this case Boston mass. Is listening I’m telling this to other jeepers and they’re telling it to other jeepers and on and on so my apologies again it was a critique of the content not of you brother
I can see a little bit of why you would think that. To be completely honest my reasons are pretty lame LOL. 😂 The gas and diesel have pluses and minuses. I do plan to do a better thought out video comparing them since I’ve now owned both. But want to get some miles on the diesel first so I can give an honest comparison video. The one I plan to make this week is “How much did I pay for the 2021 gladiator diesel?” Have a really cool ida for a movie style video for the new lift. But need the help of a videographer since I can’t be holding the camera to make it. I do appreciate you being honest man. Even if it’s hard to hear. It does help me make better content. I’m definitely not just trying to get views. Wanting a community of like minded off-road enthusiasts.
Yeah I’ve been that way my whole life LOL 😂 Sorry that’s definitely not going to change LOL hopefully you still got something out of the video. Thanks for watching!
Don’t waste your money on the diesel’s Italian 🇮🇹 junk 🤢Do a little research on that engine not good💩💩💩Ridiculous price on the oil changes🇨🇦FCA fix it again Tony🤣🤣🤣🤣

Glad you mentioned the history of the engine, its been around since 2014 with its problems. Lots of mechanics will steer you away from it because of its history. Basically, I think diesels have seen their heyday come and go. All the new emissions standards have had a big effect on the modern day diesel. Some states even want to ban them as polluters. I don't think you will find a diesel that will last you 300,000 miles these days. They are so complicated today. The beauty of a diesel was its simplicity and durability, not anymore with all the emission crap on it. Take that DEF fluid... You better use the finest quality and fresh Def fluid you can find, that 700 dollar def injector clogs up pretty easy. Plus there are a host of expensive sensors on that exhaust system, some as much as 600 dollars.
Then again, I assume people keep their vehicles forever like I do. If you just keep them up until the warranty expires or shortly thereafter, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I'm old school I guess. I know people who have had their diesels around for 300k plus, but you know they are diesels because they are smelly, noisy, and dependable (polluters too).
I want to get the Willys edition with the diesel had the early diesel in a 2015 Ram 1500 28 mpg
"Very capable as long as you have 40's"
😂🤣😂🤣 you caught that huh?
It irritates me when people knowingly buy a gas guzzler...put bigger tires on it....and complain about poor gas mileage.
Yea it bothers me too. That’s why I sold it 😂. No you won’t hear me complain with the new diesel!
Settle down Randy, you're getting triggered too easily.
I heard that the diesel gladiator will have less of a tow rating than the gas version.
Correct it only because Jeep decided that the brakes and extra weight would make it “un safe” to tow more. I’m betting it won’t be that bad.
If your buying to tow, an F-350 Power Stroke is the way to go.
My bros jeep JL with the turbo 4 and when he puts it in manual it doesn't shift and unless I kick my gladiator against the rev liminter it doesn't shift, like if I hold it at 5.5k its all good
Nice. You will def see better fuel mileage with the torque #s the diesel puts out.
I love my launch edition gladiator, we pull a dump trailer with a 1025r John Deere tractor while the doors and top is off and boy do I get a lot of looks. We also take our sea-doo to the water and getting a Yamaha jet boat so will need the gladiator over a wrangler. I don’t care about the gas mileage which is about 15 mpg with a 2” and 35’s
Diesel sounds great and all but if you’re trying to keep your max towing I’d say stick with the V6. With the added weight in the Diesel engine you’ll lose payload and towing capacity. I’ve read a lot into this and I’m gonna add a Ripp supercharger to mine. I’ll gain MPG, HP, and torque comparable to the diesel, and still keep the majority of my payload and towing capacity as the RIPP kit is only about 50lbs. If you don’t care about the towing then I guess go ahead but I say take a look into the RIPP kit.
If I didn’t just buy a GMC 2500 Duramax. I might care more about payload. Now I have no need to pull with the gladiator. It will be my toy and tow very light loads.
When do you get the diesel I have a gas one but couldn’t wait for the diesel to come out
Just picked her up!! I’m loving it so far! Will be doing some videos very soon.
@@MaxOverland did you order it or pick one off the lot?
@@MaxOverland I ordered mine before Thanksgiving. Anxiously waiting.
How was the trade in process? Did they try to lowball you?
392 Gladiator, within 18 months, my best guess. Half Doors/Dual Door group, will be optional also. I think, there will be some trading and selling, going on.
Love to see a 2 door version with a full size bed and the 392. I'm drooling...
Stupid question, why not install a Diesel engine in your prior jeep?
Manual mode is all I use off-road, the auto jumps around a little.
Are you getting the 392 Wrangler?
Stock axles did ok with 40's?
Yes it has done really well on the stock axles.
LOL … they’ve lasted a year or so …
I’m nervous to go to 40s. I’m going with the nuthouse rack I think.
What the oil change cost of the jeep diesel? I heard on another channel it's stupid expensive and a pain to do. And good luck deleting it. Epa crack down your probably going to have to go to Canada to get it done.

100% agree with the leather point!
I'm in SW Michigan where you at?
I am a real state agent, *phone rings sends to voice mail, 😂
Nice! We want a gladiator so bad!
This truck isn't bad, you failed at engineering your build. You followed the blueprint (new gears and add weight without adding power to the motor) that every jeep builder follows without talking into account what your needs are.
Next build tune the motor. you might want to even look into a smaller turbo so it spins up faster and delvers more power down low. Regearing is a very last resort.
There have been a few reports of disappointment with the diesel. Towing ain't so good. MPG ain;'t so good. But good luck, I'll keep my Gas and 35s.....with 18-23 MPG and plenty of lift for my likes.
I average 29 mpg with my diesel gladiator rubicon. This is computed by an E6-B
@@johnkraft5640 That's great to hear. Enjoy!
LoL I chose a sport S ecodiesel and put Dana 60s with 4.88 gearing and I towed the max rating for it (6500lbs twin outboard) across arizona and still got 11 mpg on 40s. Unloaded it gets 21-23 on the highway. It will flat out embarrass the V6 on and off road
@@mattbrew11 awesome!
If you compare the cost of gas to diesel there isn’t much savings in the diesel. I own a Cummins and the maintenance is expensive. I’ve been looking at a gas Gladiator and even a Power Wagon. I don’t trust their new Ecodiesel if it doesn’t have Cummins stamped on it. The emissions, especially the EGR’s sound problematic. The Cummins has been great with the emissions, I’ve had zero issues. The 3.6 V6 has been around quite a while, so it’s a safer bet.
A Ram 1500 with a v8, looks cheaper to buy though.
I love the look of these but if dodge brings back the dakota I see this thing dieing. If they do a hemi option it may prolong it but jeep doesnt keep platforms for more then a few years they tend to have lots of issues and and not sell well unless it's there wrangler or Cherokee
Ummm. This IS a wrangler. And a Dakota will not touch a gladiator, I just got one after 3 wranglers,there is nothing better.trust me
Sorry but I got to disagree the gladiator by far is better off road buat as far as towing or hauling the 4.7 will out last and out tow that v6 any day plus cost far less in maintenance, in 15yrs what's see if you say the same thing, my 05 dakota has 180k+ on it just done oil , brakes, and a set of bearings and do everything with it from hauling to hour long drives plus get 16 miles highway with a load
@@joshuatracy4829 umm, they stopped making that engine like a decade ago and I didn’t buy a gladiator for towing. The pentastar v6 is totally proven also
It's a reference I know they stoped making it about same time as the dakota. I'm saying other then off road capability the gladiator is lacking and in the end will cost way more in maintenance, If ram decides to enter the midsize market again and releases a truck for less I bet the gladiator wont last especially if they release it on a gladiator platform or even with a rebel package. I love the gladiator I'd own one but I personally wish ram had a midsize again and would buy and build that before a gladiator
@@joshuatracy4829 dude, people have been waiting years for another Jeep pickup,it’s not going anywhere. You know they stopped making the Dakota because the y weren’t selling anymore. Also a had 99, 318 four wheel drive extra cab and it was basically just every year for a sticker plan on wheel bearings and ball joints. Also a friend had a newer square Dakota with the 4.7(still has it) and the engine was replaced under the lifetime powertrain warranty they offered for like one year b4 they smartened up. Other than maybe being dramatically cheaper a Dakota is not gonna hurt gladiator sales. It apples and oranges. A little economy pickup is not a lifestyle vehicle like a wrangler,just check out the aftermarket support already and the insane builds. A Dakota even a really good one is not gonna stop the fanaticism of Jeep ppl,,,,at all,sorry. I did love my v8 Dakota back in the day but it had like 50less hp than my JT and got 10 mpg and blew thru ball joints and wheel bearings. New wranglers are bulletproof and the trade in values are like no other. These are facts not just my opinion. My 3rd wrangler... every time I try something else I go right back. Prob never drive anything else besides my mustang. I would t even consider another pickup unless Ford does the bronco pickup like they are talking about because of the gladiator,hello
Like to see it, I drove diesel trucks in military
Nice move. Check out the TH-cam Site "The Story Till Now" in British Columbia Canada. Shaun just test drove a new diesel with lift and tires and comments on the performance. Spanks the petrol version. Making me think of upgrading as well.
Probably 4/8 gladiator channels have gotten rid of the gladiator, there’s a reason these trucks 8k off on dealership lots
Yes but I am also getting a brand new one. I have no issue with the truck. Just wanted the diesel version.
@@MaxOverland I'm thinking the diesel and the eventual 392 will save the gladiator, the 3.6 was rough
Easy solution to that problem. Just get a landcruiser or gx470. Those are tanks
There is alout of electric and other issues I'm reading about strait off the lot, not including the underpowered v6 and high price
@@joshuatracy4829 I didnt wanna say it but yeah, the gladiator is plagued with the jeep curse, and for the price of a rubicon you can get a ram power wagon which is arguably much more capable
Be careful deleting. Got a coworker that has his 2500 deleted. Guess he received a letter from EPA or something. They are cracking down on it.
To be honest I’m sure it’ll be a very long time if I ever think about doing that.
@@MaxOverland just giving a heads up. But I'm with you about the warranty stuff. Just wait till the time is right. Let us know how the first oil change goes. Price and any issues. You could get your oil checked though. I forget the company. A friend gets the oil in his harley checked once a year.
The EPA has cracked down hard on deleting diesels.. There are many shops that have been fined heavily and it’s only going to get worse as well as closed
@@billeirish189 ya. That's what I've been hearing.

Awesome 👌
Struggling on 37’s ? Why does everyone need to put 15-20k into a jeep to go offroad now? Oh well.
LOL no it was struggling on 40’s. I put 37’s on it to trade in.
@@MaxOverland i figured 40’s would go over everything lol
They do. We were on steep inclines. After talking to a bunch of people. I’m thinking it was a safety thing on the jeep that kept my power down. With 5.13 gears it should of had enough to move those tires.
@@MaxOverland yeh, with my CJ5 im thinking of 4:56 gears for my 33’s.
I hate when you BEG for subs and likes... just do your thing, I’ll like it if it’s worth it!💪🏼
I have ran tests on the channel not asking people to subscribe. The videos I ask get way more traction when I ask. That being said I don’t feel like I’m begging. But if that’s how it’s coming across I appreciate you saying something.
I think the algorithm wants content providers to do that at some point in the video and then it promotes the videos more.
@@MilesAHibbs thanks for the comment boss. When you trying to make this a legit side hustle. You have to research how to grow a channel. That’s one of the biggest things TH-cam recommends. And obviously put good content out. Hope y’all enjoy the content!

Awe shucks. Your right i better take my diesel back lol... Im aware and not expecting 40mpg. But 18mpg would be great!
These what I love and what I hate videos are so played out.

The diesel will definitely be fun!
I think I seen this at Z a few days ago
You would be correct! That’s were I traded it in at.
I think asking people to subscribe before they have even watched one of your videos is asking too much
I agree for the most part. I’ve ran tests on videos that I didn’t ask and that I did ask. The ones I asked got way more traction that the ones I didn’t. The TH-cam algorithm picks up on activity. So once a channel is to a certified level they can pretty much stop asking. That’s my personal opinion. That being said, I don’t ask on all my videos.
@@MaxOverland totally agree, get a bunch of views but not as many subs

Haha yeah I’m not crying, I got to drive and have fun with a truck for 2k. Bought it for 50k sold it for 48k. But guess your entitled to see what ever you want! :) I was simply explaining why I was trading it in.
@@MaxOverland Because you had to of known by putting a 2 1/2 inch lift and 40's on it would bring down the gas mileage. it's to much drag on the engine. it's just physics and now you're crying about a problem you created. We create our own storms, but then cry when it rains all the time.
@@MaxOverland I'm not seeing what i want, i'm seeing what you're obviously blind to which is yourself. your generation can't appreciate things for what they are, you have to buy the next shinny toy, till that shinny wears off. eventually you'll grow up and figure that out
@@spiritmediumdaniel7161 if I was crying about it I’d still have the rig. Instead I traded up to the diesel. Guys are getting 20mpg on 40’s. We will see if that is actually true here soon. :)
You are correct sir! I do like shiny new things! Been that way my whole life. Not sure why you feel the need to be annoyed with my life decisions 🤔. I’ll do me, you do you. 😁
What you didn’t like about the truck had nothing to do with the truck !! YOU put 40s on and thought your fuel mileage was going to be like a 4cyl Corolla ? YOU went to 5.13 gearing and felt that it was underpowered ! YOU got leather seats with 3 dogs? You know they have pointy things at the end of the feet right? This was clickbait uselessness !! Could’ve just said I’m trading my gladiator in for a different gladiator cause i thought you had some insight on possible issues with the vehicle but ok great your getting the diesel .. wonder if you’ll get 40s 5.13 gearing and leather seats ?!!
Your comment is uselessness.... Actually no the one I ordered has cloth seats. I’m also very well aware that Jeep’s don’t get food fuel mileage. I know two diesel owners on 40’s getting 20mpgz so what’s wrong with wanting a little more and getting 442lbs of torque. But thanks for watching! 🙌 hope you feel better now! 🤷♂️
@@MaxOverland you’re getting all pissy no need I was just critiquing your video in title and I was expecting some insight you made a video for the world to see and hear but what you gave was fluff !! If your title was simply “I’m getting something better than this JT” it would’ve been more informative more honest I’m glad you’re going diesel I think it’s a good move but your reasons for not liking your non diesel JT are lame ! You’re Max Overland for fks sake !! You’re taking shite personal, good !! You’re the man people are valuing your insight and you produce this crap !! Don’t be mad at me be mad with yourself for this nonsense where you’re trying to get viewers instead of making worthy content that people will use ... guess what? That will get you viewers! Good luck on the diesel hope to see some video of value good night
@@series9193 there’s a difference between critiquing someone’s content and attacking. I simply explained why I was trading in. Which is what my title was. So I don’t see how it’s click-bate. I didn’t have a ton to reasons why I traded in. Just a few so I explained them and they said I was buying the diesel. I had another vehicle at the time when I got my first one that had cloth seats so I wasn’t worried about the dogs. We sold that one and had to have the dogs in the JT. Sorry I got defensive boss. Just wanted to explain my feelings in this particular video. I also don’t usually do talking head videos. So that’s a new style for me. Hopefully my upcoming content of the diesel will be more informative.
@@MaxOverland I apologize I wasn’t trying to attack the title lead me to believe that there were some gremlins in the vehicle that only owners like you would know of I can’t go by what a salesman at a dealership says and definitely not the automaker so I’m relying of guys like you the professional and yeah you’re a professional I’d trust your word before an engineer who’s probably never even driven a Jeep !! You’re shite has impact you’re not just talking to a camera in this case Boston mass. Is listening I’m telling this to other jeepers and they’re telling it to other jeepers and on and on so my apologies again it was a critique of the content not of you brother
I can see a little bit of why you would think that. To be completely honest my reasons are pretty lame LOL. 😂 The gas and diesel have pluses and minuses. I do plan to do a better thought out video comparing them since I’ve now owned both. But want to get some miles on the diesel first so I can give an honest comparison video. The one I plan to make this week is “How much did I pay for the 2021 gladiator diesel?” Have a really cool ida for a movie style video for the new lift. But need the help of a videographer since I can’t be holding the camera to make it. I do appreciate you being honest man. Even if it’s hard to hear. It does help me make better content. I’m definitely not just trying to get views. Wanting a community of like minded off-road enthusiasts.
You talk to much, be concise
Yeah I’ve been that way my whole life LOL 😂 Sorry that’s definitely not going to change LOL hopefully you still got something out of the video. Thanks for watching!
