Pros vs Cons of Owning The 2021 Ecodiesel Jeep Gladiator 😁 

Sorry about the small Audio issue! Not sure what happened. I will do a voice over when I get some time. It’s only that one spot! The rest of video is perfect!

Thanks for the explanation of the small pump noise. I was wondering.

Great video and very informative!

I to love my 21 willys JT diesel. Took a trip to Stowe VT. From my house its 425mi got their on a tank of fuel with 70mi to spare. Averaged 30mpg. Around town it's 22.5mpg. The only mod I have is a daystar level kit upfront. Stock tires are 32 mts.

You thrilled me and scared me at the same time. Thinking of getting a JLURD! Thanks.

Ordered my JTRD end of October and should be here around Christmas. Super pumped for all that torque coming from the Pentastar 3.6.

I’m looking at a 2021 diesel Gladiator Rubicon & I’m wanting to put the Dana 60/70 axles from my 3/4 ton dodge & put the Gladiator axles under my diesel Liberty. What gearing would you recommend for 40” tires on the Gladiator ? Loved this video & will wait for more !

Subscribed, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸

How do you like the Trailrax? Can you see out of your rear view mirror? Thinking about getting that rack.

What bumper is that? Thanks for the video.

I'm a 4RUNNER guy- I have a 2021 jeep wrangler unlimited Very happy with it- the gas engine is competent I've always liked the idea of a diesel- a gladiator Mojave diesel would be a dream- I'm just a bit concerned about the politics of diesel fuel nowadays 🤯

In debate between the diesel or gas - have You noticed any savings one way or another when comparing the cost of fuel and service expenses? I’ve heard the diesel services are more expensive and with the price of diesel almost double that of gas right now does the better mileage offset the cost for you?

I’ve been looking at buying the diesel. Is your jeep the Rubicon model? I thought all Rubicon’s came stock with 4.10 gears. I’ve been looking into getting the Rubicon just because of the gears. I live in Florida and don’t really need the rock crawling features though. Thanks for the videos. Keep it up. 👍

Definitely interested in a breakdown on cost for anyone in the process or thinking of getting a JT diesel

Drove both the gas and diesel. I like the diesel for the torque. It definitely get's up to speed a lot faster from a stop. I wasn't impressed by the $240 oil changes my local dealer quoted me though.

Another gas to diesel Gladiator owner here. I agree, hands down the diesel is the way to go. Im averaging 4mpg better and where I live diesel is also cheaper to fill. Drives considerably better and im no longer frustrated on hills and passing other vehicles. Dont get me wrong, out of the light duty pickups, the 3.6 and 8 speed does well but with 35” or bigger tires, the 3.6 starts to complain. Im excited for future videos and im excited for the Banks intake and power figures.

I have the 21 Rubicon with Ecodiesel, AFE cold air and tune, pedal commander on 37s - it’s a torque monster - so much fun to drive - JUST LIKE YOU SAID… then the DEF problems occur over and over.😢😢

shouldnt be too bad in the cold. alot of modern diesels either have block warmers you can plug in during the night, and plus the glow plugs are much more advanced nowadays. use #1 diesel during these times to help prevent gelling. i agree with you on the DEF tho. it will freeze and sucks!

Have you had any issues with the fuel pump I have a 21 and the pump has gone out 2 times it finally has the updated one

How much power can the transmission handle

I have Diesel Rubicon Gladiator with 42's on it. I've done the banks tuner and the Pedal Monster from Banks helps a lot. I'm planning water methanol system, Banks air intake and exaust and after warranty removing the... any thoughts on water methanol or exaust?

Great video and lots of good information. I have a 2021 JLU Diesel, the only issue I had was at 18,000 miles my turbo went out and I kept getting the error msg "Electricon Throat Control Failure, also the Jeep would die at 65 mph. Thank god I bought the extended warranty, the dealership had my Jeep for 6 weeks fixing it. They had to remove the body from the frame to replace the turbo. Talk about a shitty design. Other than that, I've had zero issues.

Just got a 2022 diesel last month on the 18th. Had it one day put 200 miles on it and a check engine light , been in the shop since. said they need to replace a fuel injector and ETA on that is 29th of next month LOL that’s jeep for you

I think the channel you thinking of is called "Down to Mob" he's got sweet rig!

Would you get a diesel now today that Jeep has discontinued it? I wonder about parts for it down the road, but there is still new stock out there from 2023 models, so am considering it. Thanks for the video.

Please tell us about your buying experience.

have you had a issue of using the tazer with the banks derringer? banks says they interfere with each other and causes the bank to go to safe mode. I have a tazer and pedal monster but hadn't done the derringer because of possible issues.

Are you from Michigan? I am from TC. Began researching diesel Jeep Gladiator. Wish Crysler release a diesel Gladiator with a manual transmission. Is that too much to ask?

If I could nitpick about one single little thing it would be the turbo lag. With no tuner the get up and go hole shot is a bit slow due to the turbo lag.

Does you hat say Re/Max as in the Re/Max Real Estate?

id truss the stock front axle on the ecodiesel cause from what ive seen these new axles are pretty damn strong from personal experience,cause my buddy has a 2019(technically 2018 but the years are weird) jeep jl and he runs 39'' Bfg Km3's on his rig and i know that man sends his rig pretty hard same with my other buddy on his diesel JTRD and he runs 40'' trail graps and he beats his rig pretty hard and always bumps up mild or big steps pretty damn hard but the only thing he's broken is just a rear axle shaft wich were stock but i know he does run 4.88's rcvs on the front artec truss on the front,but not on the rear yet and yukon rear axle shafts and thats all i really remember since i helped install those parts for him \but yeah i feel confident that if you truss the front axle run some chromoly rear axle shafts it should be fine for a long time,cause my buddies really use their rigs to the max and they feel confident that their axles should hold up,same with me i feel confident that my axles should hold with the proper upgrades im gonna get once i rack up enough coin :D

payload cons?

I'm getting one soon it's a 2021 Jeep gladiator Rubicon and it has 40 inch tires and I'm going to drop it down to 20 inch tires because I dont like 40 inch

I LOVE my diesel... I have a derringer, ready to go in it.. (Pedal Monster and SuperGauge already installed) Now if only I could find time/someone to help me that has a garage.. LOL.

Took the foam and plastic banana out of the intake of my cummins and the sound and the off idle response was obvious.

I can't come up with any Cons. I'm really liking mine.

I regret not getting a diesel honestly. I love my mojave though.

What axles did it come with?

Just bought a 22 diesel Rubicon JT. Totally awesome for what it is going to be, for me. At half the price of my LJ, I’ve got a great work truck that can also make a great camping rig, as well as trailer the LJ to the trail.

Pros: Excellent commuter due to power and MPGs. Cons: Not as good off-road as gasser due to extra 400lbs up front and turbo lag/ surge. Diminished towing capacity.

Hesitant to mess with emissions. I live in Komiefornia 😔

Very informative

Just rip out the axles...and send them to me... LOL. (I'd just change gears & truss.... since I have no lockers...and those would.)

does this tuner effect factory warranty?

If you like diesels like me, their aren't any Cons. Maybe towing a bit.

I think you meant " Down to MOB "

hows the overheating?

The one thing I'll never understand and the reason I didn't get a diesel is loss of towing capacity. What?

I thought you were going to show us the pros and cons not sit in the Gladiator talking about it.

Ton of power when it’s rated at 260HP!!! 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

You talk too much dude. Just 4wheel!

U have done this video before

Talk to much
