Consumer Reports LOL

And the Gladiator isn't even really a very good "truck". Yeah you can throw a few things back there, but nothing serious. I mean, it's damn near a compact truck. Mid-size, at best. So besides being clunky and inefficient, it's not a great work vehicle.

For me, that's why I love them. They're unique and cool and they do Jeep things. That's the draw, right? A pickup truck that can actually truly do Jeep things. I love being able to strip it down and still haul shit in the back to the beach or whatever.

That’s a very ignorant statement. it’s actually the most capable truck in its class. I can tell you first hand that it tows and hauls better than my Colorado, which actually tows pretty good, Also, how big do you want? It’s the same size and 1980s full sized trucks. It’s hardly compact. Are you obese or just talking out of your ass?

If you are shopping for a vehicle the same way you shop for a dishwasher, Jeeps in general are probably not for you.

Damn dude, did you cry a little as you typed that? Settle down, man. I'm glad your JT outperforms your shitty Colorado, okay? Enjoy.

As for the rest...I'll stand by what I said. You must have missed the parts where I said I love my JT. You don't have to agree, and after that post I'm glad you don't.

And....am I obese? No, but what does that have to do with anything? I think I know what word you meant to use but in your rageposting you fucked it up. I won't fix you though. I'm just gonna point and laugh at you.

Go buy a JLU idiot. Some of us use ours as trucks and they do a great job job.

Seek help. You have major issues.

I’m just Fing with you dude. The outrage at least. I’ve been on Jeep forums since the Pirate and JU days. It takes a lot to upset me on the internets.

My wife and I were at a family gathering yesterday when someone made the comment that Jeep was the worst brand according to Consumer Reports. Of course, I said " What do they rate at the top?" My wife's aunt responded with "Toyota!" I said what is the name of the Toyota that helped win WW2, has a removable roof and doors currently sold in the US? She looked at me dumbfounded, and said she was just telling me what she read in Consumer Reports. I asked her what Toyota technicians did for a living? You don't really think they make their money on oil changes? Seems like a smart financial move for a Toyota tech is to go to work for Jeep. If I wanted to buy a boring car with no style aimed towards boring people who just see cars as transportation only, I would have purchased a Toyota. If you want me to drive Toyota, then provide me with one, and a hammer to hit myself in the head when I get so bored I fall asleep. I told her I do not give a rat's ass what consumer reports thinks. I am sure employees of consumer reports drive Toyotas and watch re-runs of Friends. Besides, I would rather use my warranty and drive what I enjoy, then to go without issue in something that makes me want to fall asleep at the wheel.
Funny thing is Jeep Gladiator is #5 most US made vehicle behind Tesla. Moreso than the Wrangler probably because of the optional Turbo 4 available in the Wrangler is not built in the US I guess.
As a person who has owned a couple Toyotas, I can and will say they are a great car. As a person who has owned several Jeeps, they are a great vehicle too. Consumer Reports can kiss my ass.

They lost me in 1987 when they faked the Suzuki Samurai tip over BS. I drove one for 18 years and never had an issue. F consumer reports

Uh yeah, right, okay.

wait, you really think that someone would get that upset over insulting a Jeep’s capabilities? I’m not even brand loyal. You have delusions of grandeur dude.

What Consumer Reports can never quantify is all of the intangible benefits that come with owning a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator. We own both and after having owned a ton of other brands, nothing has come close to the fun and attention received from these Jeeps.

One small example: my 10 year old son had a friend coming over after school. The friend asked if the kids could be picked up in our cool orange Jeep. I opened the Sky top and the kids stood up through the roof and they thought they were the kings of OC

Try that in a boring ass beige Camry.

I’ve had a lot of issues with my Jeeps. That’s why I swear them off for years, but I always come back like a moron. lol.

Same here. Jeep #3 and two years into this JT and the first problem popped up. Wonder, what’s next.

Threads like this are about as useful as an appendix

Threads like this are about as useful as an appendix

"An appendix in a book is a section at the end that includes supplementary information relevant to the main text but not essential to its understanding. It often contains additional details, resources, or data that support the content without disrupting the flow of the narrative."

It's not needed for the story, but it adds informative detail.

So it appeals to neurodivergent people.

Therefore, using the Internet Logic Theorem, if you have an appendix, you are neurodivergent.

I don't like this at all. My appendix was useless and life is better without it.

Too many times I've seen Wrangler rated against unibody / front-wheel drive SUV's and be rated "worst SUV" based on highway manners, road noise and fuel efficiency.
