Just picked up my QM Fieldmaster Saturday! Ordered in September , 2024.

Traded in my Jeep Gladiator Mojave, so not a big leap in size. But a major leap in quality.

Build:
Scottish White
Contrast Ladder Frame - HALO Red
Leather Trim - Grey/Black
Saddle Leather Driver's Pack
Smooth pack
Differential Locks Front & Rear
High Load Auxiliary Switch Panel & Electrical Preparation

After Market:
Fox Steering Stabilizer
Ineos Steps
Window tint and ceramic clear on the windshield
Ceramic coating entire truck


First Impressions:

The Good:
Love the look of the truck! People are always coming up to me and telling me how cool it is
Doors slam with a solid thud, and my wife needs to really muscle the heavy door shut.
Build quality seems top notch

I have driven the station wagon with and without the fox stabilizer. It definitively helped with the return to center in the SW (but not perfect)
In the QM it is just about perfect. Without a 💩 ton of corrections keeping in lane
I love the heavy feeling of the steering. Feels like you are in command and the truck needs to be driven.

The ride is smooth and quiet. Again coming from the Gladiator , a open air tractor would have been more quiet and smoother than the Gladiator

Engine is great. Same HP as the Gladiator, but so much smoother and much more torque. I would have kept the Gladiator forever, but I absolutely hated the engine, just a gutless . loud POS.
If Jeep would have offered the 392 in the Gladiator , I would have kept it for life. But Jeep isn't in the business of giving customers what they want.

Transmission is amazing, shifts smoothly and efficiently
.
The ride quality of the QM is better than the SW because of the longer wheelbase.

Air Conditioning blows really cold, Saturday it was in the 90's in Boise and the truck was freezing inside.
Heater works really well, and the heated seats can soft poach an egg. Investing in asbestos underwear to protect the jewels.

Stereo sounds pretty darn good, deep bass and but the highs are a little tinny .
Seats feel awesome, wish they had some lumbar support options

Apple wireless car play works well. People on the forum have complained about bad audio on phone calls. Mine have been crystal clear

The not so good , not so bad:
Storage sucks! The Gladiator had the entire under back seat worth of storage. Zero storage under the QM backseat.
The little tiny glove box and center console are much help.

No lock/unlock button on any of the passengers doors. WTF.

Tailgate does not lock / unlock with the key fob. Must be locked manually ( I would have expected that on a >100K truck)

No wired Apple Carplay (looks like that might have been deleted in the 2025, but I might be wrong)

Ordered Upgrades:
Pedal Tuner from DBG

Was going to tune the engine with Blue Spark tuner
But the car is much more peppier than I thought it would be , so I'm rethinking that

If DBG comes out the Kooks Exhaust for the QM, I will order that. If not I will install the Miltek exhaust.


Nick , Kamal and Jake from Lyle Pearson INEOS Grenadier in Boise have been fantastic to deal with.

No cup holders in backseat 🤷‍♂️

Also one of the vendors should think about making a storage box that sits in the unused wheel well in the bed. This would help with the lack of storage

Realistically speaking... How's the space back there too? Most of the reviews shed a dark light on the back seats. Now that you're using it day-to-day, what is the practicality of it?

Also, when did you order (how long did it take to take delivery)
 
Ordered in September , 2024.

Back seat space is tight. Especially the center seat, which no one could use except s small child. My son who is 5"10" can seat in the back, he says its not too bad.

I have young two kids, no issues of course. I have had three friends from 5'10 to 6'4 sit in the back. They said it's fine. My 6'4 friend said that he could probably do 4 hours in the back. The middle is useless.
 
Because of the lack of storage space these are a must have. Thanks to Overland Gear Guy https://overlandgearguy.com/

Also installed a pedal tuner today from Design Build Go https://www.design-build-go.com/product-page/io-pedal-tuner
Incredible difference in response! WOW! I have put pedal boxes on most of my cars over the years, but this one was really amazing
To the point I am considering not adding a tuner to the car, which was a must I thought when I bough the QM.
Took about a half hour to install, the video DBG has on YouTube makes it pretty easy.
This is a must install !
