What a rig! way more power, luxury and off-road capability than any other new 4x4, payload is not an issue for 90% of buyers, I have a Ute and have only ever had more than 500kg in it once in a year
Great review! I agree that I also would need more payload and diesel for touring but weekends around Sydney, it might be the perfect vehicle. It is so nice to see a review where we see the limit of a vehicle off-road, thanks!
Not so sure about that, cause you still have a power and switching wire that has to be disconnected when it's in the centre. If it was on the door only a power wire. So not sure that it makes it any easier...
Wouldn’t matter if they put it on the door, regardless u gotta remove a power wire clip when removing doors. I’m sure it’s not much more to throw in an extra wire or two for the window switches. IMO it’s cuss it’s always been that way and so they just kept it the same. But I agree, it would’ve been better to put the window switches on the door, I find myself looking for the switches on the door at the beginning of owning the truck until I got used to it. It is more intuitive on the doors, in the middle makes less sense and way less intuitive.
Some people have kids and they’ll only take off the front door and not the back doors. So if they have the window locks on it allows for the driver to still have control over the back windows
That was a great review Sam. I have test driven the new Gladiator and find it a totally different experience to the all the Thai built Utes out there. And it really is a lifestyle decision. Though i saw a Defender there too. Enjoyable.
You missed the best part of that whole track. Greans Break road is just a dirt track up until just around the corner from that tree it got stuck on..... then that is where the action really starts, straight back up the edge of the mountain, back onto Martinsville Hill Road. Would've been interesting to see it tackle THAT part of the track. All in all, It's still a Jeeps. Nothing else to say 😁👍
3tons? Get the Max Tow Gladiator.. It can tow 7650 lbs or over 3 and a half tons. Payload is higher as well. Got a 2.5 Icon long travel lift on mine with 35's and it goes everywhere. Was going to put lockers in mine but the BLD works so good I don't need to and I get to keep my towability too. Best Jeep ever. Love it.....
@@mattf20c27 did not know that. Wished they would offer it to you down there spec's the same as we get. Would be nice to have larger tank down there for more range too. We are not to far from gas station here much over couple hundred miles so it's not a big deal.
Can you have the land cruiser and gladiator go head to head cause you are the first to compare the two. All media have never compared the gladiator to the land cruiser and I believe this comes down to the gladiator being under engineered for the Australian market.
FWIW, the diesel was expected to be available in the US version this year but that was presumably pushed back due to the virus. I'd bet it'll be available everywhere within a year or so.
If I lived in a country where the ford ranger raptor was available, I’d buy that instead. The ranger raptor is such a beautifully designed truck. The Jeep gladiator is for Jeep enthusiasts, you gotta like the look of the Jeep, or else it can be a pretty weird looking truck since it IS basically a Jeep Wrangler with a bed.
I hope so for you down there. These are amazing vehicles but require proper maintenance and parts support like all offroad vehicles. Aftermarket support should not be an issue but I hope you get what we get in service and parts here in USA for them. You all could really put these to proper use down there.
Great review. Starting to assess options to replace the Patrol GU, but the payload is a BIG issue for me. Would have to see what GVM upgrades some to, but generally based on Wrangler prices.. you're easily talking +10-15K total, which makes this a really expensive option. Even though would love to have one.. if only the G300 payload would be on this one, then it would be a BIG winner! ;-P
I’m paying $5,500 per year on comprehensive insurance for my three cars (FGX Ute, VF Redline, VW Polo). Am I paying too much? I’m wondering if I should replace my VF and FGX for a Jeep Gladiator? Honest thoughts and opinions 👊
Sam curious if you would consider the Gladiator Rubicon as a possible upgrade from a Defender 130? I currently have the 130 and my partner would like something a bit more modern and too me this looks about the only option as something with coils front and rear and live axles.
Measuring the angle of the rocks with a phone 🤦♂️ Airing down to 10psi on stock rims for rock crawling 🤦♂️ Steering heavy with the tyre pressures down 🤦♂️ Cant deal lol Love the vehicle enjoyed the review 🤙
Pay load it 620 compare to a ranger is 900 well no shit I wonder why? 🤔 oh because the ranger has leaf springs not coils, correct me if I'm wrong Stearing is hard because the front diff locks not tyre pressure any one can if wrong Wouldn't mind it came in a diesel and manual
I like how most reviewers skip the fact that this and the Wrangler, has such an awful crash safety rating. In this day and age it is unacceptable, and shouldn't be allowed on the road until they rectify the issues. But certain car makers put profit and budgeting, over their consumers safety.
Lol, the previous model wrangler had a good rating, and the new model is better but has a worse rating, why is that ? because the goal posts are constantly shifting for the ANCAP rating, Ford Mustang for one had a terrible rating, until they added all these random alarms etc for changing lanes or lights for when someone in another car drives next to you.... and nows it rating is good? Its a bit of a joke, and several manufacturers get around this by getting their first model tested then not really changing the model so they dont have to re-do the test. Toyota Hilux passed in like 2005 got a good score, if the same toyota hilux did the test today it would score terribly.....
@@themisunderstoodgorilla7030 I agree with you about the mustang, it only scored higher because it added a few safety features. But like the wrangler, their total Ancap rating is good but if you look into their structural ratings they both score very poorly unless you are in the driver's seat. Everywhere else in the car, for eg. where your kids would be sitting they are not safe at all.
@@jeremyboyle1576 well the problem is that a ladder frame (chassis) vehicle is always at a disadvantage. I read somewhere that to get the score any higher the vehicle would end up being that expensive no one in their right mind would buy one. You have to compare apples with apples. And theres probably a reason why there are very few ladder frame utes that have beam axles and are actually capable off road. Its about compromises. Ancap for me plays next to nothing when I purchase a vehicle. As long as it has a rating and air bags thats good enough for me. I think if you are buying this particular vehicle to drive around the city and drop off your lods you're possibly buying the wrong vehicle
@@themisunderstoodgorilla7030 agreed 👍 These vehicles should be an adventure vehicle (weekend warrior), not an everyday family hauler. Ancap need to make their ever changing rating system more transparent for the everyday buyer, for the person who safety does play a major factor when buying a vehicle. There is to big a difference between one 5 star car, to the next when it comes to passenger safety.
@@jeremyboyle1576 Also the fact that the Gladiator was never tested they just used the JL Wrangler rating despite the Gladiator performing better in USA crash tests where the JL failed. Also seems pretty weird how manufacturers vehicles qualify to require a test, For example, the Landcruiser 70 Series apparently got tested in 2016, Volkswagen amarok back in 2011. where they scored quite well, however the test is different now. But those old test scores are used as a comparison to brand new vehicles that have just been tested. Also another thing that I think about is modifications, I highly doubt a brand new ranger or Hilux would fair nearly as well once its been lifted/got completely different suspension to fit bigger tyres, where as you can fit bigger tyres on the Jeep pretty much stock. Theres so many variable is too hard to compare, Hence as long as it has a ok rating, which it does thats more than good enough for me.
Can someone tell me how they manage to put bfg km2s on a 2020 vehicle?? Km3s came out couple years ago, how does Jeep put a set of tires that’s 10+ years old design and there’s a new design replace of it on a brand new truck? That’s like a set of bfg KO1 on a 2020 wrangler!! Wtf?!
Should have measured its length by comparison to competitors not your height laying down, should have confirmed it actually can fit a motor bike in back with tail gate closed. Lacking 4WD knowledge with comments like petrol engine being good fir high revving up the climb when opposite is true, being high torque to avoid...wheel spin. Should have had specialist 4WD journalist aimed at target audience of buyers for vehicle type.
Hey Sam, any comments on the footwell space, or lack thereof? I did a quick test drive in a Gladiator, and felt like my 'clutch' foot had nowhere to go. Felt quite cramped, which would be annoying on a long drive. (edit - just to say I am in Australia, so a RHD model - might be different in the LHD model))
Good review but dude is creeping me out in the night time section. Hopefully Jeep gets there shit together in Australia because Defender is coming and will be the pick.
Independent all round? Ones a real 4wd that can be modified easily, 35s and 37s with 2" lift. The defender will be "nicer" to drive but killed the name off
Don't brake it remember its only a Jeep, good new in the cold nights you will never be without a fire :) sorry just had to because a jeep is like a boat sink another thousand in
So 600kg and it’s pretty much on its bumpstops? So have 4 adults 360kg at 90kg each and it can only put 260kg in the tray what a pointless car. And the comment about a 79 being less capable than a Jeep sure thing dual locked 79 vs a Jeep I know what I would back heading up a hill climb or covering Australia for a trip.
The 79 is so overrated, especially for the price. And comparing a leaf springs truck-like ute 79 (with zero front flex) to a fox shock offroader spec Rubicon jeep (also double locked) up a hill climb.... lmao
So half the stuff on it are options not standard, has a piss poor load rating, has no diesel option, got stuck on the first 4wd track, an its 80+k to buy.... but hey, at least the doors come off..
Have had 2 dirt bikes on my 2013 Mazda BT-50 without any issue. 4x4 Utes and SUVs for our region (and many other markets), can't be too wide and long, because of how our roads and parking/underground lots are designed. Many of our 4x4 off-road trails are very narrow, and even a Jimny would only just make it through. Think rainforests and rocky (and high level) terrain too, with dangerous narrow sections.
mixalis yeah nah I’m the same my i have to leave the tail gate down witch isn’t a issue but I’d like to fit my gear bag and bike in with the tail gate up!
"Not having a diesel option is a huge no-no." Welcome to the disappointment of the entire U.S. offroad/4wd community... we never get the nice diesel options unfortunately.
What a total waste of time mate. You've given no reason to sell other than to highlight exactly what you knew going in to the purchase. And then you to on to spruke your restaurant. And then you say you have a company car - hence getting rid of the keep. Clickbait!!!!
2020 Gladiator DO NOT BUY THIS STEAMING PILE 💩💩💩! Why spent $40k only to have 6 steering boxes go out in the 9-months? Cheap Chinese Crap. Try taking Fiat Chrysler into court for LEMON LAW.
wouldn't buy... wheel base too long, shitty accessories options, suspension too low and at the end of the day it is a jeep which along with most american vehicles is horrible value for money
Uhhh any serious wheeler will lift it anyways, hell with a 3" lift you can fit 40s on it, plus you've got the factory twin lockers, sway bar disconnect, live axles all the way round and what do you mean about sh*try assesiory options? It's go the best, along with every other typical assesiory, you can get tube doors etc
Ed Dreyer BS you are. Maybe going downhill at 40mph with a tailwind. It’s long established by every Jeep owner but especially Rubi owners. Between the shape of the vehicle and the weight combined with the nobbies, it’s 17 at best doing 55
‘Testament to how good it is, even though it didn’t do it’. Summed up beautifully. So it gave you the impression that it was capable, and then proved you misguided.
You can put 35s on it with no lift and you can get a 2" mopar lift at any dealer. It was literally a set of tires away from making it over that obstacle and there's a lot of room for upgrades if you want/need them.
The steering was heavy because you had the front locker on 😂
Certainly one of the better Gladiator reviews on RUclips.
What a rig! way more power, luxury and off-road capability than any other new 4x4, payload is not an issue for 90% of buyers, I have a Ute and have only ever had more than 500kg in it once in a year

Great review thank you. I love my 2 door JL Wrangler. I have always been a bush walker. With my JL I have become a 4x4 driver! Love it!
Good to see someone who understands tyre pressures and side wall / carcass stiffness vs vehicle weight. LT tyres and 10psi is on point, bag them out.
You will probably see more of these on Oxford street than in the Bush.
Any engine you want - as long.... I literally laughed out loud >> well played sir
I always debate what the actual reason the window controls are in the centre, because if the doors are off the car you cant use the windows anyway.
Reomoving the doors would be more complicated if the switches where on the doors.
Not so sure about that, cause you still have a power and switching wire that has to be disconnected when it's in the centre. If it was on the door only a power wire. So not sure that it makes it any easier...

Yep I brought one xmass23. , my 3rd Jeep after an XJ and KK 😊
Congrats to Jeep for building it and bringing it to Oz. Just need a diesel.
I haven’t even seen one so far! Shows how special it is!
Ha Ha how american! A gun case under the rear seats!
Great review, I reckon a few more beans and would have got over that tree!
2.5" lift and 35's it'd be a weapon.
If only I didn't need to tow 3t...

@@EdDreyer they are not rated that high in Aus, slightly low spec than what you get in the US
@@EdDreyer somehow they get neutered on the boat on the way down...

Excellent review Sir !
Seen a few of your reviews now and I think you have the best format out there.
Thanks mate!
My first car was a wrangler and it was heaps of fun and not bad offroad. I would a Gladiator but not new, they are exy.
7:55 tip, you can put the plug into the mess netting on the door to keep it from flapping around like that.
Good test. I like how the 130 rescued it👍
Loving it already. Looks badass. A three inch lift kit and some 33s might make it king! Cool Review. Thanks! Kudos!!
Hell with a 3 inch lift you could easily fit 40s on it, no lie, that's what everyone does with these
Can you have the land cruiser and gladiator go head to head cause you are the first to compare the two. All media have never compared the gladiator to the land cruiser and I believe this comes down to the gladiator being under engineered for the Australian market.
Excellent review... in Jeeps habitat...
Jeeps habitat is in the shop
FWIW, the diesel was expected to be available in the US version this year but that was presumably pushed back due to the virus. I'd bet it'll be available everywhere within a year or so.
nice review on the Defender 130 (19:42)🎃
Have a look at this review we give it a drive next to the new one ruclips.net/video/2nUMbSIYeFg/видео.html
Good to get more American cars in!

The Jeep gladiator is for Jeep enthusiasts, you gotta like the look of the Jeep, or else it can be a pretty weird looking truck since it IS basically a Jeep Wrangler with a bed.
I want one. Spent a heap of time in one last November in the US and loved it. Might be a bit pricey though. Could be the poverty pack for me.
Wonder if the North American market 285/70r17 Rubicon OEM tire size would have made the difference on the last obsticle ?
Very cool! Not many convertible utes on the market!
So are jeep Australia actually going to fix shit this time round? I'd love for jeep to do well here but I'm not buying one till I know I'm supported.
I hope so for you down there. These are amazing vehicles but require proper maintenance and parts support like all offroad vehicles. Aftermarket support should not be an issue but I hope you get what we get in service and parts here in USA for them. You all could really put these to proper use down there.
14:12 is that a Defender?
Must say I always enjoy your video reviews Sam. Thank you.

Or perhaps try driving up on an angle, 🤷♂️
