I understand your hesitation at the V-6 but I have the Pentastar V-6 in my 2018 Wrangler and at 55k mile it hasn’t hiccuped once.
Having said that, the whole Stellantis organization is a major cluster fk.
The overall quality of the product regardless of brand is horrible.
I love my Jeep and it’s a blast to drive but it is without a doubt THE quirkiest vehicle I have ever owned, and I’ve owned my share.
From what I’ve been hearing, any Jeep Wrangler newer than 2019 is to be avoided at all costs....and that includes Gladiator.

Consider yourself lucky. I have a 2017 with 58k miles and it already needed a tuneup and the cheap, plastic oil filter housing needed to be replaced (they all eventually crack and leak) with an aftermarket aluminum one. Cheap plastic should be nowhere near a Jeep engine. I’m a long time jeep buyer and this will be my last.
