I can go sit on 127 or I75 north on any Friday afternoon from Memorial Day to Labor Day and watch every mid-sized and half ton on the road tow over it's rating.
Then see 10% of them puking transmissions on the side of the same highways lol.
Why would Ford send a Ranger here with the capability of an F-150 at F-150 prices lol.
Also, the Ranger already outsells the Gladiator, like every other mid sized truck, except the Ridgeline.
Idk what is up with all this gnashing of the teeth and omg, you folks love it though.

Idk that a 30k swap is in the cards though for a weekend/trail toy.
I can assure everyone, again, for the 5 millionth time, that there are absolutely no engine options but the 3.6 for the remainder of the JT run through CY 28
The diesel was in my Ram, the Gladiator is my wifes semi-daily transportation and we use it for weekend adventures.
