MotorBiscuit: Consumer Reports and J.D. Power Agree on the Worst Midsize Truck.
https://www.motorbiscuit.com/consumer-reports-j-d-power-agree-worst-midsize-truck/

Only things I agree with in this article are the fuel efficiency should be better and the steering needs improvement as well. But I would never buy a Ridgeline, no matter how many great reviews it gets. I believe in buying American and nothing is as fun as a Jeep! ??

The convertible truck with the recirculating ball steering is the loudest and worst handling? You don't say.

""The publication calls it “clumsy with mushy and slow steering that requires a lot of arm work…”"

Hey, that arm work prevents from having clumsy and mushy arms.

"Hates wind noise in cabin" It's a convertible.

Maybe Honda should learn how to build worse trucks then. Last I saw the gladiator outsold the Ridgeline 2:1

Have fun in your Hyundai Santa Cruz....

Worst Mileage? All the mid sized trucks get about the same... my 2017 GMC Canyon 2wd SLT was 18 in town, and 24 hwy. My JT was getting 19-20 mixed before I lifted and threw away mileage for 35's...

When did these companies forget that it's also important to measure a vehicle's fun to drive factor? The Gladiator is far from perfect but these review companies are just plain useless now. I actually also think the Gladiator corners and handles pretty well for a pick up truck, especially the Mojave edition.

That's what happens when you rate a car based on static performance metrics and not doing any qualitative/objective research. Personally, I bought my Gladiator specifically FOR the wind noise. Gladiator is literally the only midsize truck i'd buy because it makes up for all the compromises of a midsize truck by being a Jeep. If it wasnt for the Gladiator, I'd have a JL and would have kept my F150 for truck stuff. Other midsize trucks just plain suck.

I’m not sure why the Maverick and Hyundai (Santa Fe, Veracruz, Santa Cruz…I don’t like their naming) are even mentioned as I thought those were compact. At least the Maverick is.
And for the midsize trucks, something I swear is never mentioned but seeing as they’re all available with a crew cab option so it should be important is the rear seat comfort. The Gladiator is the only one I would be comfortable enough in the back seat to take any kind of road trip. All of the other midsize trucks have my knees buried in the seatbacks or straddling them. It’s odd to me how seldom this is mentioned considering how much roomier the JT is compared to those in its class.

It doesn't matter what anybody thinks is as long as you enjoy it.

Please kill this thread as anyone reading it has a Gladiator and all it will do is make people pissed and somehow it will be a 30 pages of bull$%&t with no end . We all did our research and knew what we were getting . It's a Fiat, Chrysler Jeep " thing" so there's gonna be some issues . I got it cause I wanted it with it's loose steering box gear , horrible wind noise , death defying driving in the hard wind prowess , The derating when hot ETC ETC ETC ................ . I paid 63 grand for a potential sh$! show of issues and did it knowingly and would do it again and most of would again so don't be afraid of jd or biscuit they're haters the Jeep aint that bad .
