Family buyers beware! Jeep Gladiator 2023 review: Rubicon | Great ute off-road - but not for kids 

i've owned two of them. family of 4 and we all enjoy it. no issues at all.

Seen families with this and they seem to have made it work

I've 2x boys & we get away camping a bit.. they LOVE our Jeep - they have their toy trucks, i have the real toy. It's the most fun & capable vehicle bar none.. You buy a Lamborghini for outrageous speed, Maybach for outrageous luxury & Jeep for outrageous offroard ability - only one of these is reasonably priced.

Best family car I have ever owned!

Excellent review from 3 perspectives. Your passengers and yourself. I love that

Gladiator turning circle 13.6m Vs Toyota Landcruiser 79 Dual cab 14.4m, on paper

I'm seventy-five. I still enjoy driving off road every chance I get in our Wrangler unlimited Rubicon. Am anxious to add a Gladiator Rubicon to our stable when one of the dealerships in Hawaii offers one at a reasonable discount off MSRP (rather than a $6,500 to $8,500 addition to the MSRP). The 2024 Gladiators and Wrangler will have side air bags. Nice review! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.

I guess you guys don't get the Mojave version of the Gladiator in Australia? I wish in the US they offered something besides the overwhelmed 3.6L V6 in the Gladiator. The Wrangler gets the 3.6L V6, a 2.0L Turbo 4, a hybrid version (4xe) and even the magnificent 6.4L Hemi V8. The left foot issue is the same on our left-hand drive Wranglers/Gladiators. There is no dead pedal foot rest.

Emotional support vehicle if this is driven anywhere except to/from and actually *off road*.

Because it’s so tall she said…I wonder what would she think of a lifted F350….

good honest review emily

Strange how these cars get the majority of business from totality inappropriate customers based off their initial praise and uptake from different, more appropriate market segments.

I love my diesel, it gets 27 mpg

Why doesn't this Rubicon have the Rubicon higher flares over the front wheels?

it should have come in a v8 option 3.6 is under powered. v8 petrol or v8 deisel

Have they fixed their terrible transmissions?

You guys can only drive with no doors on private roads?

No one buy a jeep as a family vehicle

You can only take the top and doors off on private roads? Good god that’s a sin

Price 🥲

Bring the Mahindra Thar!!

It’s not designed for families. It’s for off-roading and you wanted a pickup.

Buy a prius 😂

How did we ever come to this, these vehicle seriously being considered for a family ?

Samantha and David had been planning their European road trip for months. They had bought a brand new Chevrolet Z06, their dream car, and were eager to hit the open road. The couple had mapped out a route that would take them through the most picturesque towns and cities in Europe. But what they didn't anticipate was that their journey would be filled with unexpected adventures. It all started on the first day of their trip. They were driving through the French countryside when the fuel gauge on their car suddenly broke. They were stranded on the side of the road for hours, waiting for a tow truck to arrive. While they waited, they decided to watch the latest car news on RU-vid to pass the time. After finally getting their car fixed, they continued on their journey, excited for the adventures ahead. But they soon realized that their fuel gauge wasn't the only thing that was going to cause them trouble. Over the next few days, they found themselves stranded on the side of the road not once, not twice, but six times! Each time they were stranded, they had to wait for hours for a tow truck to arrive. But despite the setbacks, Samantha and David refused to let their spirits be dampened. They used their time stranded on the side of the road to explore the surrounding areas, discovering hidden gems they might not have found otherwise. From exploring quaint villages in Italy to hiking through the Swiss Alps, Samantha and David made the most of every moment of their trip. And every time they got stranded, they found a new adventure waiting for them. Finally, after their sixth breakdown, they arrived at their final destination: the German Autobahn. They hit the gas and raced down the highway, their Chevrolet Z06 purring beneath them. As they sped along at top speed, they couldn't help but feel grateful for every adventure, every setback, and every moment of their trip. They had truly experienced the best of Europe, and it was all thanks to their broken fuel gauge.

Unless you have a need for off-roading, this car makes no sense.

No problems worrying about families, the cost outweighs many families with kids.

It's not a car.

Off road capability isn't much help when US vehicles generally and Jeep in particular don't have the reliability you need for those conditions.

How’s this worth 80k.. what a joke

“This is the only trail rated ute on the market.” Oh, careful all you Hilux and Ranger owners, your vehicles are not ‘trail rated’ so you can’t drive on 4X4 trails! Silly comment, clearly ‘trail rated’ is not a real or universal rating. It means nothing. Trail rated is just the badge that Jeep put on their most off road focused vehicles.

It's a cheap copy of the scrambler cheaper parts cheaper metal its way over priced just like all the jeeps

It's way overpriced should be a $25,000 truck

Mahindra Thar
