Jeep introduces a genuine lifestyle option to the tightly-fought 4x4 dual-cab utility segment.
The Jeep Gladiator brings a slightly left-field and rugged option to the competitive dual-cab ute segment. Tested here in off-road Rubicon trim, the Gladiator also introduces genuine off-road credentials to the class out of the box, plus plusher coil sprung suspension and a petrol V6. Are those factors enough to overcome the Gladiator’s sub-par towing and payload capacities? Sam Charlwood put the new model to the test to find out.

I own one of these amazing fun machines and after 22k in 6 months the Jeep Gladiator experience just gets better and better. Getting fuel economy as good as 8.9l//100km as well as the fact this engine is quick off the mark. That's better fuel economy then most other SUV utes on the market. Add the European style comfort with American proven quality, this ute is the true Dark Horse in our Aussie market especially with a price tag cheaper than LandCruiser, Colorado's and all the other brands. Do yourself a favour if your on the market for a ute. Look at this fun machine as a way of signalling your independence away from the rest of the sheep buying boring brands. You won't be able to take the smile off your dial once you get one. Enjoy.

@Matt buy a Corolla if you’re after fuel economy buddy

@vasilioskarvelas 2 года назад

How many kilometres on average do you all get out of a tank? I was waiting for the diesel but apparently they are not coming down under! We usually spend 80 - 90% of our time driving on freeways!

@1250GSX 3 года назад

Jeep have done themselves no favours in recent years but we owned a JK unlimited and had absolutely no issues. Took it to Vic high country and other challenging places and it never let us down.

@KN-lq4zv 3 года назад

The jl wrangler and gladiator, I think after having owned one is the only saving grace for Jeep and (well at least for me) have been reliable, unfortunately now with a hike in price it pushes them out of there own customer base, along with a terrible dealer network (at least in Qld ) they can’t expect the sales they did with the Jk. Hopefully we get a bronco sometime soon

@manailamashishi6428 3 года назад

Fuel consumption per 100km?

@StephenFogarty2023 3 года назад

If it was sold in Australia with a decent 6 cylinder Diesel engine, it would sell very well. Higher GVM and GCM is also needed. As it is, it has a lot of potential, but very compromised with petrol motor that lacks torque. Only 347 nm !! Needs at least 500 nm, and 600 nm would be ideal. No wonder it sells in very low numbers. Huge missed opportunity by Jeep Australia

@leom5095 3 года назад

Mate I want to buy a brand new Ute. Would you recommend a Hilux or Ranger?

@davepiotrowski1992 2 года назад

Jeep could throw in a BMW straight 6 turbo diesel for Australia and it probably would go quite well...

@chrishood1206 9 месяцев назад

why are we so insistent on diesels? my Toyota has gone through 2 turbos, the injectors need to be replaced as regular as timing belts and towing they are as thirsty as a petrol v8 from the 80's without the power, then the emission problems you have to overcome for reliability, why aren't we looking at petrol cam chain driven engines with live axles? its got a zf gearbox, i wonder if it would last longer then 220k on my Hilux for its first rebuild.....

@sputmayer 3 года назад

and with 2700 towing capacity it doesnt cut the mustard

@kevinwaters-marsh217 3 года назад

@Matt the reason the towing capacity is 2.7tonne is nothing to do with the engine or suspension. It's due the fact it's rated as a convertible with the light fibreglass removable roof and doors making the JT lighter in weight reducing its towing weight to vehicle ratio. The engine is more than capable. As you rightly pointed out we shouldn't be maxing out our towing capacity anyway no matter what we drive.

@SMITHYRULZ1996 2 года назад

The low amount of torque it would struggle even towing 2 tonne

Gambling? The resale value on jeeps is crazy. I would know. Have had 3 saharas and just bought my gladiator today. And they have never failed me.

@bilal3827 3 года назад

$75k knocking on the door of a 79 series cruiser... wishful thinking. I’d consider it in my decision making at $40k to $50k even then I wouldn’t buy it, just consider it and take it for a test drive.

@BIGDIMSIM 3 года назад

expect cruisers are 80k buckets of shat, cant even center the wheels under the tray , cant even give the same wheel track.... cant even give u decent head unit and 1 cup holder , a big heavy v8 sucking down juice with no power is a horrible choice.

@bilal3827 3 года назад

@@BIGDIMSIM Fair enough valid point of view. But they are a forever car and I’m looking at it from a different angle. A friend of mine has a 700,000km 78 series Troopy. So it depends on what you want, I’m happy to forgo all the items you mentioned above to purchase a car that will last me half a lifetime trouble free. I can always add those things like cup holders and centring the diff later. But you can’t add 700,000km reliability to a Jeep Gladiator later down the line like you can add modifications.

Interestingly I know two Jeep owners and in the 4-5 years they’ve had them I’ve had more issues with my Hilux which is roughly the same age. I’m not advocating for Jeep, but I do notice that here in Australia Toyota can do what it likes and still get the big thumbs up, which in my experience with Toyota is mainly good marketing.
