  • Is the Jeep Gladiator a Good Daily Driver? If the Gladiator will be your only vehicle, will it make a good daily driver? Nothing is worse than buying a new truck or car and then dreading to drive it! Here's what I think of the Jeep Gladiator as a daily driver. Do you agree?

    Excellent daily driver. I have over 9000 miles in 4 months on mine. Mix of highway and city. More comfortable ride than my 2016 Grand Cherokee Limited. Averaging 18.5 mpg. Plus, I can keep all my work samples in the bed and still have plenty of space for several adults if I need to take someone out to lunch.
    I should add that I am 6’4” tall and I have plenty of space in the drivers seat.

    I am so torn right now between a new Tacoma and gladiator in my area. Moth have manuals… Tacoma is off-road trim with leather seats lunar rock… gladiator is a black Mojave but with cloth… I really want black and leather but I don’t think I’m going to find it without an issue markup… I don’t know what to do haha

    Rob I’m very serious considering buying my first Jeep. With this being said, I’m leaning toward the Gladiator. I’ve always wanted a truck and or a convertible. Would this be the best of both worlds? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your assistance!👍

    Which would be the best model to select for a daily driver? I assume the Sport S drives better on the highway than the Rubicon or Sahara. I don't plan to go off-road or tow.

    Mine was fine for 10 months, although, it has had sloppy wandering steering from day one. Ten months or 4,000 miles into ownership, I experienced the “Death Wobble” twice on the same day. Yesterday it happened again at the same spot on the interstate and my wife captured it on video. Taking it in to dealer today.
