You can drive it with out doors on road. The vehicle has been engineered / designed to have these items removed and approved for sale in Australia. A Mike has no doors and is legal. The only caveat is side mirrors need to be fitted to the A/B pillars when doors are removed.
Yes, here in America it's called a truck (a "car" is a sedan or such). BTW, here the Rubicon comes with 33" Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires vs. the 32" M/T tires yours has. Not sure why the difference. Also, the front recovery-points (tow hooks) aren't covered on Rubicons here...never seen covered tow-hooks before, on ANY serious 4x4 vehicle here. As far as "opulence/luxury," the Rubicon isn't focused on that, so if you DO get any luxury appointments, it's merely a bonus you get on the most capable serious 4x4/off-road mid-size truck available right from the factory -- no upgrading required (IMO, the Gladiator Mojave would come in 2nd, the Chevy Colorado ZR2 would be 3rd). Of course, I'm only talking about serious 4x4/off-road focused MID-size (not FULL-size) TRUCKS available in the American market -- don't know what other "competitive brands" you get in Australia that would directly compete with the Gladiator Rubicon. If one DOES want a "luxury" Gladiator, however, it'd be the most expensive (but WAY less capable) trim-level: the High Altitude. As for highway/pavement driving, the Gladiator is VERY nice...I don't see it as being "compromised" (as you described it) at all: All 2021 Wrangler and Gladiator models got a steering update so it's not "wandering" anymore. 2020 Gladiators and 2018-2020 Wranglers can go in to a Jeep dealership and get their steering upgraded also (see Jeep TSB 08-074-20 for details). True, the Gladiator doesn't get great MPG numbers, but then no serious 4x4/off-road focused vehicle does, as it's usually lifted, has larger tires, no front air-dam, etc...and in Jeep's case (Wrangler/Gladiator), its boxy/vertical "antiquated design" isn't aerodynamic...but that's fine -- it goes along with owning a "classic" Jeep. ;-) -- BR

@@dizzyreckless5991 Well, the reviewer here seemed to be pretty fair, and it's well-known (even here in America) that for DECADES Aussies have been "off-roaders" and have their preferred 4x4 vehicles to do it in. And as well, lots of 4x4 development/advancement has come about from lessons learned from the off-road scene in Australia. I'm just saying that Jeeps are still incredibly capable, whether they become popular in Australia or not. Even in America, however, Jeeps are a "niche thing" -- much like the new Ford Broncos will become (I'm guessing), and most people will never get one (never go off-road, either) and instead will continue to buy the typical on-road/on-pavement garden-variety (common) sedans, SUVs and trucks.

Made an offer on these at two Jeep dealers in NSW and never heard back! I heard the customer service was bad but can’t even buy one! Probly did me a favor…
It's the Best 4x4 out of the box... what else there is to say! Probably most of us, at least I would, buy one if the Stellantis Group get off their asses, look around the market and realize that the best course of action to have a great Gladiator is to stick under the bonnet a 392, with a Dana 60, rear for sure and front to make it an awesome machine... and forget the obsolete diesel engine... keep them only for heavy haulage.
Always liked your videos but there's something about the video quality that's bugging me. Even at 1080p it doesn't look as good as it should be. The resolution seems sorta off?
Nice looking truck but I want ruggedness plus value so GWM Ute Cannon L is my pick for this class of what are workhorses not lifestyle vehicles - excellent review T Man 👍
It's got lots of good stuff standard, but I think the price, average warranty, lack of diesel & poor reputation, hold it back. I wonder how many owners they are finding in OZ. I'm currently in the market for a NEW Dual Cab ute & wouldn't haven't even consider this product,
I was looking at buying on in Aus this Year but got talked out of it, apparently people in AUS are having trouble claiming warranty issues through Jeep and parts are expensive in Australia and hard to get. but it seems like its the opposite in the States. I did manage to take it for test drive it drove well.
I bought a new one back in 2012 and what you are saying about warranty issues and expensive parts was very true back then. Seems like they haven't fixed their after sales support. Good thing you walked away
So far reputation on these Gladiators, sounds excellent. and from what i've seen, nothing comes close for 4x4 capability, The eco diesels in the ram half tons are well over 300xxx klms in many areas, so ordering it in a diesel would be a win across the board.
Love all the negative comments from people who don’t own one and actually have no idea what they can do. Are they perfect, no but they are pretty good.
Can't wait to get my JT Gladiator Truck... It's a Jeep, it's a Truck... its not a sports car disguise as a dual cab, which ppl tend to want.. soft I say... Jeep had a great history ans it is a Jeep, plain and simply.... though the Rubicon,for 10k more than the "Night Eagle", I'll be going for the Night Eagle and kustomizing it to my taste ans requirements... good review,,, cheers
Nice review. I wish it was diesel. Also it's funny how they got a cigarette logo on the 12 volt socket. Haven't seen them in ages! Keep up the good work guys!
2nd Jeep owner here. Had the first (2001 TJ) for 11 years. Blew two rear diffs and a clutch in that time. Had the second (2011 JK) for 4 years now, no issues at all
Would be good to see the Bronco in Oz. I wouldn't touch it with a pole but would still be good to see them around to shake up the stale (and a bit wimpy) Au off road market sector. Australia is home to one of the world's biggest off-roading communities but we are a tiny drop in the car ocean and unfortunately Ford being Ford have no plans to make a right-hand-drive version of the Bronco. However Chasing Cars reported six months ago that Crossover Car Conversions in Melbs may be importing and converting them. That will make them considerably more expensive than their already expensive US MRP of $70,000 AUD for a mid range spec on top of shipping costs and luxury tax and stamp duty and customs and excise and, and, and...
Wrong on the front facing trail camera that was with last years steel bumper option. But now it's gone for "V2". So with steel bumper you lose your front park sensors and camera. For an extremely long ute with a massive front bumper that you can't see, taking stuff like this away is a big fat fail. Disappointing.
Have you tried this ute? You can easily see exactly where the body ends at either end using reference points, of which there are plenty. The trail cam is for spotting exactly where to place the wheels when rock crawling. It's not supposed to be a substitute for eyes. I do agree however that it is stupid to have omitted it for the late '21 model year. Maybe due to lack of parts availability. On the minor plus side, the 8.4 inch head unit is capable of receiving a secondary camera, so installing one aftermarket is easy and relatively inexpensive.
Before I bought my current dual cab, I took the Gladiator for a test drive and was appalled by the steering wheel shudder at highway speeds, excessive road noise and front end vagueness...Oh, and it's frankly unacceptable crash rating score (2/5!)...
If I want to cross the desert or go out back get a LandCruiser or Hilux .These look a hell of lot better just park it in your driveway and don't go anywhere looks so cool standing still unlike the boring Toyota
@@KenanTurkiye Well if you don't have it and all your electrics quit, particularly if it's an auto trans, once you have lost any power assist with your foot brake and its a 4 wheel disc brake car, from personal experience, you have no chance of a fullblown emergency stop, and you are now in an unguided missile, and lack of power steering makes it harder to look for something soft and/or cheap to hit.EPB would not function as it goes through the computer. this thing is an accident waiting to happen.

Where have you heard of reliability issues? So far, Jeep have sold around 150,000 Gladiators and the only major issue reported with the overall package is the steering issue, which they have engineered a solution for and are currently implementing. The Pentastar V6 has been in use in millions of vehicles and are notoriously reliable.
@@CathodeRayNipplez There are many other browsers other than Google and I've tried a few to check reliability reports on the Gladiator. Other than the steering issues that are currently being rectified, I can't seem to find reports that say the Gladiator is unreliable as most here have been claiming. What I have found is that around 800,000 Wranglers and Gladiators have been sold since 2018 combined and for the most part, they seem pretty good overall. So unless people are just childishly throwing around old tropes, rumours and innuendo, what is the point? I mistakenly thought commentors on these threads would be a little more educated and open minded...it seems I am mistaken and will not take up more of the kids time.

Gees, you took a big gamble reviewing this ute on your channel. Guaranteed to get every imbecile spouting the usual nonsense about reliability, crash worthiness etc. So, for all those who are still capable of critical thinking, go test drive one and compare it to other manufacturers offerings. This vehicle is very good in many ways and far more pleasing than the usual crap available from some manufacturers (looking at you, piece of outdated garbage 70 series). edit: I understand that 'each to their own' is the motto for all vehicles and products in general when making a personal decision to purchase. The comment regarding the 70 series and 'usual crap' was a glib attempt at humour, which to be fair, I'm not very good at.
Drives like a truck. Wanders all over the road. Noisy. Turns fuel into more noise. Uncomfortable seats. Horribly overpriced. Highly capable as a tractor, barely capable as modern transport. We have them in my workplace. I feel like crying whenever I get lumbered with one after everyone has take all the good stuff. Nobody at work wants to be stuck with the depressing tractor.

Sorry it doesn't bring a smile to my face, mainly because it looks like all the other Jeeps (but somehow uglier) and they are less than reliable. But it also the added benefit of being able to more easily kill you in a crash.
