GarageScout Take

The first-year EcoDiesel Willys is configured as a 37-inch trail build, with documented 4.10 gearing, 32-spline rear shafts, and axle locker work that gives the modifications a service history. At 62,000 miles, it sits near the high end for the generation. The extensive modification stack, reported underbody corrosion, exterior chips and scratches, passenger-rear-wheel curb rash, and interior touch-point wear are the counterweight.

Strengths

  • 2021 was the first model year for the Gladiator’s EcoDiesel V6.
  • The service file records a fuel-injection pump replacement plus documented differential and axle work.
  • A clean Carfax report accompanies the reported California registration history.

Watch For

  • Extensively modified drivetrain, suspension, brakes, wheels, and exterior equipment warrant inspection for installation quality and compatibility.
  • Some corrosion is present on underbody components.
  • Exterior chips and scratches, passenger-rear-wheel curb rash, and wear on interior touch points are reported.
