The market has been in shambles for two years.
However, it may be Jeeps hold their value better than other FWD vehicles.
I got excellent values on my last three: Dodge with Cummings Diesel 3/4 ton 4WD PU, Nissan Titan 4WD PU; and Mitusbishi Outlander 4WD SUV.

It’s been a few years but the USFS district manager told me Jeep was the most troublesome vehicle they purchased.

I am very familiar with Gorilla Glass.
First, it is not indestructible.
Second, any glass can have manufacturing flaws that lead to cracking like what happened to the Gladiator owner. He will probably get it replaced under warranty.

I bet they don’t work in a snowy winter climate. None of the newer systems are reliable in those conditions. That is when it pay to go back to metal squirt tubes on the hood area. At least if those do freeze they are easy to thaw. Anywhere plastic is used then you are at the mercy of waiting for a warm day before you can use your washers again.

Hope you do all your own maintenance. The head problem was improper castings. That happened for about a year and MOPAR replaced the engines as needed.
The latest problem is the oil cooler on the 3.6. If you do your own oil changes, it might be better. The oil cooler is plastic and if some over-zealous tech over tightens it, it cracks. There is an aftermarket aluminum oil cooler that now has a 3-4 week waiting period as a replacement.

Thanks.
Did you read post # 14?
<>First, it is not indestructible.<>
That's a fact...yet it's only chip resistant and it reduces the effects of impact damage and cracking? to what extent ? it doesn't say...
Not just one Gladiator owner...Did you read all the anectodal problems with gorilla glass that were noted in that 2 page thread ? and the related links to other threads at the bottom ? and that's just mostly for the gladiator ? There are also anecdotals that rave about gorilla glass, so it's not just complaints...
After all this time, I still have a habit of responding before reading through the thread where the answer\explanation might already have been given...seems a lot of us here need to read through the thread first before going off half-cocked....

“You can spend $100K for a top-of-the-line Jeep.
I’ve never understood that phenom. I’m not at all an off-road 4x4 guy, but even a low end CJ-5 is a very expensive vehicle.
My landlord has a 1974 4x4 Wagoneer pickup that’s in very good shape, but the engine is very tired and smoky and will not pass CA smog. Cars (of every mfr) of that era had the maximum number of smog pumps and air pumps installed. It really needs a full engine rebuild/replace, which he priced out at $6K. Of course, he sees them for sale for $35K-$50K in tip-top condition, so that’s what he thinks he has.

Bingo!
You should have heard my wife holler when I took our 99 GC down Pucker Pass in Canyonlands - Dead horse Point

My 99 GC engine siezed up around 103K miles.
Had it rebuilt and it lasted to over 200K.

I have a feeling that those little holes are going to clog really fast...

“Have you priced the new Grand Wagoneer?”
No, but I’m not that interested. But I’ve looked and it’s a deluxe SUV (Grand) and not surprising that it edges up towards $60-80K. A 1974 Wagoneer is a straight ahead open bed 60’s-70’s pickup truck.
