Why? It does nothing for off-road capability while making a bloody Jeep truck $100,000. It's only good for rich people who never go off road and just want to vroom vroom loudly at a red light on their way to Starbucks. I'm glad the engineers at Jeep focused on practical aspects of the truck like safety and off-road capability instead of just throwing in unneccarsily expensive engine in the truck to appease the idiots with more money than sense.
Very nice video as always. Always fun to come here. To be honest though, I’m not impressed with the updated gladiator. All they did was carryover the same updates already available on the Wrangler. They didn’t address anything specific to the gladiator like a very underpowered engine. The gladiator is an afterthought to Jeep.
Jeep if you are reading this, please please please introduce a v8 hemi option with 35" tires from the factory and air compresson. Com on already. Also please make an inline 6 with a single turbo instead of v6.
😂are you using a special lens for this video? Howard looks gigantic and Steve looks tiny! Seriously though, no 2-door? No stripped-down base model? No Maverick-fighting entry-level offering? No innovations vs the competition? Wow. Great video, gents, as ever.
should I get an 2023 jeep gladiator older module in diesel without the 2024 upgrades? Sucu as the bigger screen, and trail maps and so forth I have no idea on what to do since it wont be in diesel any more.
Great review guys. Honest, straight forward, and Canadian friendly ;) I'm a little disappointed in the whole Gladiator reveal though. Fewer powertrain options, i.e only one, big buildup pushing 4xe talking points, and then nothing for the gladiator. If you're going to take the diesel away, give us something back. The 3.6 isn't the greatest towing experience, and there's plenty of people who take a 3000 - 5000lb trailer camping, and the 3.6l isn't great. Yeah, the gladiator can pull over 7000lbs, but it's not a great confidence builder pulling up the Coq, or Rogers Pass when heading out on those adventures. I love some of those updates, but if Jeep really listened to their customers, they never would made a reveal with fewer powertrain choices when people begging for more choices. They really missed the mark with this reveal. IMHO
I think Jeep shot themselves in the foot. When they released the updated Wrangler they should’ve said and these core updates are in the Gladiator as well with no core power plant changes. People would’ve shrugged and figured this year is about the Wrangler and next year will be about excitement for the Gladiator. Instead they waited months and months so everyone was getting excited that there’d be something big changing with the truck since there’s been so much midsize truck news this season. I thought the wait was because there was something special to announce and they wanted it to have it’s own spotlight but no just a big shrugging letdown. Love that it finally has the better safety chops hate that it doesn’t yet have the 4xe. A marketing fail that could’ve been avoided by tying the releases together months ago so the wrangler excitement could’ve softened the parts that were missing from the Gladiator. And let’s not pretend that these two vehicles aren’t very intertwined platforms, they’re even more connected than the Ranger and the Bronco.
Exactly I've been waiting before pulling the trigger to trade my Wrangler. Now with yet another delay, the loss of a powertrain, Gladiator dropped from European market, and the way they avoid confirming a Gladiator 4xe specifically, I can't help but think there may be no Gladiator in 2025. Otherwise they may have announced that plan to keep it in the European market. Now I'm losing confidence in the direction and am not so sure it's worth the investment..
SAD to much tech to break off road, you would think they would have put the new straight I6 - 3.0L in it, and I know were you can find the adapter to put a Diesel in it.
Idk why Jeep is so adamant on putting a V8 in the wrangler/gladiator. For years the excuse was "it won't fit." Well the new Bronco comes out and threatens the Wrangler's markets have, and voila, it gets the 392. Just give us even the 5.7 would be sufficient
No V8 because if they would offer it in the gladiator and for reasonable price then people would start ordering them en mass and the company’s CAFFE standards would be shot to death.
My question why didn’t they put in the 4xe to this model year I love it my wrangler rubicon the 4 cylinder turbo has been proven and is really good engine actually with the 4xe it’s great on fuel as well plenty of torque so they really wouldn’t lose towing if they tweak it a little. I think Jeep dropped the ball on this. I was hoping to purchase a gladiator 4xe but I guess that’s not in the cards
@@Redneck_Wizard Yeah, should only do what others do, but wait, let also reduce options for customers. I mean, why even add it to the wrangler then? LOL
Pretty disappointed. Where are the high lined fenders for the Willy’s? Where is the full float rearend? Where is the hemi? And where is the 35in tires and 4.88 gears?
Renegade grille is hideous. seriously, they went cheap using that small monkey grill on the renegade, wrangler & Gladiator. Yeah I'll keep my 21 Mojave. I don't care about power seats,. People wanted Horsepower, 5.7 Hemi and 35's! Geesh stellantis sucks. They are ruining Jeep, No one wants a battery Jeep, you saw what water does to battery cars in florida recently with the hurricane. C'mon Jeep build something cool ! It's a good thing the truck king video was good
With so many manual owners getting screwed by Jeep how is the manual offering a good thing?? Stellantis needs to get their sh:t together and fix the vehicles on the road before throwing the manual back on the road!!!
Wow! Dear Jeep: thank you for making my decision so much easier! No Diesel, and only ONE engine option that requires a regear for anything above a 35in tire and listed in Gallons per mile instead of MPG! As for the X models, I hope the stereo and FT 4WD is available in the non x models! I don’t want power seats or forced to spend $4,000 for a colour matched roof and fender flares! Maybe Jeep just wants to piss off its customers or kill the Gladiator. Either way, I’m buying something else!
@Redneck_Wizard ummmm... the new upcoming 2024 Colorado ZR2 bison 🦬 is IFS and will come shod with 35's from the factory. The bronco badlands Sasquatch package comes with 35s as well and is IFS.
It isn't that big of an update. It sucks to be honest. All other Mid-size trucks came out with a new truck except Nissan which just released a new one. Now Jeep just dropped nothing.
An upgraded engine options would be amazing, but with emissions regulations, the federal government won’t allow it. As much as it sucks to say it, voting has consequences.
This is a huge disappointment. Lack luster presentation and no release of anything meaningful to help bring in customers against their competition. I would have signed the check immediately if they would have released a 5.7, 392, 4xe, or Hurricane. All the other stuff is easily added after talking possession. To stay competitive, it needed new powertrain options. Unless Jeep does some sort of secondary big reveal, the Bison, Ranger Raptor, GMC Bison, and Trailhunter will take further market share. I'm not sure if this is the nail in the coffin, or they are going to wait until Toyota releases all the specs and opens ordering on the Trailhunter to make a surprise announcement. Similar to when they announced the 392 when Ford released the Bronco.
Actually it’s by far the most reliable Jeep/Chrysler engine. It’s in probably at least a million various vehicles in Jeeps, SUVs, minivans and trucks. It’s supposed to last over 200k without trouble which isn’t true for their other engines.
Not really. I leave the drinking cool aid or otherwise to trolls like you. And I have to correct my earlier post. They didn’t manufacture one million of these engines. I was wrong. So far in the last 12 years they manufactured TEN million of them. Yeah. Because it’s total garbage. 😍
Is that screaming in the background people seeing the price?
LMAO I actually laughed out loud reading your comment. That was brilliant.😂
@@RidersInBlack LOL 🍻
No, that came from the Ford booth. They looked at the blacked out F150 Lightning price. 😃
Junk anyways
It needs the 3.0L straight 6 turbo, and 35 inch tire option without having to get the x package. And it really needs a 2 door long bed version!
Well said! 😮
Yes please!
Definitely !!
It would be nice to see the 35” package for the gladiators.
Damn… was hoping for a 392 Gladiator
Why? It does nothing for off-road capability while making a bloody Jeep truck $100,000. It's only good for rich people who never go off road and just want to vroom vroom loudly at a red light on their way to Starbucks.

Exactly.
The 392 is being retired already. Soon to be gone from all the lineups.
@@biz4twobiz463 that’s fine. I could live with the HO Hurricane engine.
@@cpgeorge2518 ... I'm actually excited for the Hurricane engine in the RAM. I hope it will be reliable and solid for the brand.
Hopefully the new turbo i6 or a variant of it will come to the lineup. It really needs some oomph down low.
I’ve got a JK and an JT eco diesel. But the next vehicle will be 3L diesel from GM now that Jeep stopped offering the diesel option.
Truck Kings, Whatever happened to the single cab, long bed Gladiator prototype we saw a few years ago? 🤔
Probably because no one buys single cabs anymore unless it’s a commercial/fleet vehicle

They didn’t address anything specific to the gladiator like a very underpowered engine. The gladiator is an afterthought to Jeep.
Hey guys!! I was watching the reveal live on Jeep’s channel yesterday! I missed you guys in the crowd!! Great video!! OlllllllO
Side note still have your john deere x350? Buying mine today in NB👍🏻
Price is the problem. Way to expensive.
Jeep if you are reading this, please please please introduce a v8 hemi option with 35" tires from the factory and air compresson. Com on already. Also please make an inline 6 with a single turbo instead of v6.
Great comments friends. Interesting upgrade, clear comments.
Adding just one wish from Brazil "espero que o inter perca"
The fact that they don’t even want to be competitive on powertrain likely means the nail in the coffin coming soon.
Most Excellent Review as Always!!! You guys are the best!!!😁
Wow, thanks!
@1:37 I’m still a teenage boy at heart 😂
looking forward to seeing these at Starbucks

Where’s the I6?
Right!?!?!?......that's what I'm preaching! More hp and double the torque.
Was hoping to pick up a gladiator next year but without a diesel I'm going to have to get something else
Get the 2023 one. While the price on those haven't gone up
It needs the diesel or new hurricane engine
I think Jeep shot themselves in the foot.

They need more engine options!
When will the hurricane engine be coming?
They need a single cab model with an inline 6.
No V8? I guess the 392 will be hard to find in few years.
So, why does the price have to be so steep? Why can't we get a straight up 35 inch tire and engine combo so the mpgs don't crash?
The antenna embedded in the windshield is not a great idea due to the flying rock debris damaging the windshield.
What to go jeep 👏🏻now that windshield will cost about $5000 to replace when you get that first stone chip and cracks. Really!!!
SAD to much tech to break off road, you would think they would have put the new straight I6 - 3.0L in it, and I know were you can find the adapter to put a Diesel in it.
Needs the hemi!! Give people what they want!!

People don’t want the gladiator 🤣
Don't need a V8. Let's give them another reason to jack the price up on an already over priced vehicle. I'd rather see the turbo inline 6 in this tbo.
The 5.7 is getting removed from the lineup ....why would they use it
No V8 because if they would offer it in the gladiator and for reasonable price then people would start ordering them en mass and the company’s CAFFE standards would be shot to death.
I may be mistaken but is the Gladiator now the lowest horsepower and torque in the segment?
I need at least 500HP when I am off-roading. 🙃
@@is6566 at least 400 foot pounds of torque
My question why didn’t they put in the 4xe to this model year I love it my wrangler rubicon the 4 cylinder turbo has been proven and is really good engine actually with the 4xe it’s great on fuel as well plenty of torque so they really wouldn’t lose towing if they tweak it a little.

even a 3.0l Hurricane would've got people pumped until it got 4xe, giving different options for customers.
I prefer the Mojave version, it is my favorite. Suspension, its interior electric adjustable seats, would be a good option for me.
37s?
Wish we could have seen the stock Willys!
No full float rear? No turbo 6? PASS
Yeah, that surprised me too. Especially when even Jeep acknowledges just how popular these are as overland rigs. Full float would been perfect.
Lol yeah because other mid size, offroad trucks have full float axle lol
@@Redneck_Wizard They sure have better motors than the pentastar.
@@Redneck_Wizard Yeah, should only do what others do, but wait, let also reduce options for customers. I mean, why even add it to the wrangler then?
LOL
Pretty disappointed. Where are the high lined fenders for the Willy’s? Where is the full float rearend? Where is the hemi? And where is the 35in tires and 4.88 gears?
And where is a new engine? Like the 2.0 turbo or the 3.0 twin turbo? They didn’t really add anything worth while to the gladiator
I suspect the price continues to soar.
Like an eagle!!!!
Caaaaw caaaaw!!!!
No extreme recon package! Ehhh
No 4xe, no v8, no sky roof, no 35s, no buy
Renegade grille is hideous. seriously, they went cheap using that small monkey grill on the renegade, wrangler & Gladiator. Yeah I'll keep my 21 Mojave. I don't care about power seats,.

Too expensive and gutless engine. Lowest power ratings in the segment. Hard pass.
3.6...not even going to consider a gladiator. Need the inline 6
Disappointed.. No options for 4Xe and 35 " tire
Where’s it made ? I only buy USA made
So underwhelming.
With so many manual owners getting screwed by Jeep how is the manual offering a good thing?? Stellantis needs to get their sh:t together and fix the vehicles on the road before throwing the manual back on the road!!!

The gladiator needs a v8 if there no more diesel engine.

We can’t buy the Gladiator V6 here in Germany anymore, only the 4xe.
Gladiator in a death spiral?
Downgraded grill 😅
Yours only for a
Million dollars!!!!!!
This thing needs the 5.7 v8 and the lift/35 “ tire package. Pretty much a let down from jeep!
Needs an affordable v8.
Big let down
