After Bronco Badlands..Back to my 4th Gladiator!

[Gladiatorx2]

Hello to all! I had always wanted a 6G Bronco so in January I traded in my 2023 Max Tow Sport S on a Cactus Gray Badlands Sasquatch 4 door. So yes, I jumped ship. To those that are interested it had the 2.7 and I really liked it. On the road it definitely was easier to live with. Off road on the trails that I frequent I was really happy with it with the exception of rear wheel travel sucked. I 3 wheeled a bunch.

There is a reason that I have owned three Gladiator's. They fit my lifestyle and I truly think that they are tougher. The salesman side that I was the first person that he knew that had taken a Bronco off road! I did miss the Gladiator though.

Oddly, my wife hated the Gladiator! She said the Gladiator was more comfortable! So, when I found this Rubicon with some upgrades at Ford Dealership I was able to trade. So I am back!

This one has a Rough Country 3.5 " suspension lift with the upgraded shocks, Teraflex Nomad 17x9 wheels, 37x12.50r17 Kanati Trail Hogs, RC Front Bumper with all sorts of LED Lights, SuperLift SX10 Winch, Halo Headlights, and all sorts of "little stuff ".

The parking/turn signal lights are now both LED and Direction. If you can see in the picture any idea what brand?

As a side note the members here seem to be ....well, more friendly. Glad to be back!

Welcome back home.

What do you think you will trade the rubicon on next year? The quartermaster looks cool.

I was impressed overall with the Bronco. My wife has had a series of strokes and her mind has, well....changed. I truly think that she didn't like it because I did. She becomes argumentative at times. You know what the say, happy wife happy life!

But, I would not have had three previous Gladiator's if I didn't like them!

Welcome back Bill.

Welcome back. Sorry to hear about your wife's stroke.

I truly think that she didn't like it because I did.

That is a common trait with most women. It is their lizard brain psychology at work because what you may like, takes away from them being the center of attention.

If they respect you, most women keep it as a passive unspoken thought. Her stroke probably removed that inhibition.

my wife has had several strokes also and her mind is usually the first thing I hear but she does love our gladiator

Welcome back. I was on B6G for a long time also. I loved my 21 A51 Black Diamond, but really outgrew it, as I needed more cargo space. I realized this after moving my daughter down to Southern California for college. I looked at my wife and said, this is a problem. I'm 100% happy with my 25 Big Bear. Doesn't have everything I wanted, but everything I needed, and it fits my lifestyle.
