True but it's coupled with most people having pretty ignorant opinions on the Ranger itself. You can not like the way it looks or something about the way it drives, just not for you, I get it, I knew it wasn't a popular truck. But just because if you can pay another $20k and go to the top end...

I mean, how bad is it? Is this it bad enough to offset: Average cost of diesel: $3.16 Average cost of regular: $3.03 100,000 miles / ~17 estimated mpg per tank on gas = 5,882.3 gallons x $3.03 = $17,646.90 100,000 miles / ~24 estimated mpg per tank on diesel = 4,166 gallons x $3.16 =...

It was a mix, some people gave honest opinions, some people clearly got defensive that I'd dare compare their Jeep to a Ranger and then others well: "God damn, this forum is more and more of a bunch of whinny ass posts.. 2 pages of cuddlings an idiot that needs someone else to make a decision...

I'm getting kind of sick of getting notified and responding to this thread if this goes on for a few more days I'm going to unsubscribe, lol. Countdown till someone recommends a Smart ForTwo...

I'm in a similar position you are, for my personal taste I think I'm going to go with the diesel. I keep cars for a long time and when you do the math on 10 years it does in fact pay for itself. I'm selling a 2008 GTI I bought new and this is a vehicle I actually plan on cherishing for a long...

You misunderstood, I was sympathizing you that people were being kind of out of there mind in how they refused to compare anything objectively. Frankly, this thread really did help me confirm my choice and it's going to be hard to talk me out of a Gladiator. Usually when you post on board like...

I've stopped trying to present any virtues the Ranger has pages ago as it's become abundantly clear that Gladiator folks have a chip on their shoulder with something to prove that other truck communities don't. It's cool, frankly who doesn't like hanging with the guy whose got something to...

Oh dear God, Ranger = Prius jokes is officially where this thread has jumped the shark!

For you it probably comes down to whether or not you'd use it in an off-road capacity. For on-road if you don't experience snow, just enjoy the cheaper vehicle. I feel like there has to be a certain amount of accidents out there that happen just because people have fancy traction setups and...

This is funny because it reminds me of when I first started buying new cars. First new car was a GTI and I used to get all worked up about extra mileage and the mpg computer reading like 12. Age and experience has taught me they moved around GTIs and .:R32s all day long and my slightly upgraded...

Frankly the annoying thing for me is that this impacts the availability of after market parts. I'm totally down for spending additional money for the engine I like better but there are very clearly less things available for a diesel rig. Not having it on the Mojave only serves to make that...

I'm a pretty avid forum user, I can discuss all sides of everything ad nauseum and this level of mob combined with prolonged downtime at work was rocket fuel. I guess I'm just not loyal to makes. The only thing from keeping me from being a "Chevy guy" is owning a Chevy. That'll probably happen...

But this is what I'm talking about, forget for a second the woody bumpers and junk, I don't think that's an '80s style anyways and that's what I would personally be going for. The tubes, without a doubt, are obviously 80s-friendly but the angles of said tubes, are not. Also the LED strip...

For the record, anyone who conflates the Ford Ranger XLT/Lariat + Tremor with a Honda Ridgeline has shown their true level of fan boyism. The Honda Ridgeline has more in common with a Civic than a truck and the Ranger is a real truck through and through, it's the one thing we take for granted...

So, you shop for women by, "would I look ok driving this if other people watched me?" This is taking a strange turn. Jeep Gladiator Cuckhold Edition

If I were to go through the process of making really cool looking wooden bed rails I'd probably either go with some kind of retro roto or hide them. I don't know, I really want to go nostalgic when I pick up my JT but it both lends itself to it and doesn't. The aftermarket parts want to go...

Well said. A decent set of skid plates is really all the aftermarket I "need" on any vehicle.

I'm not gonna lie, I think I like the old look better. The new look isn't impressive and the old look you get to make fun of yourself for driving a topless minivan.

It's a well known fact that putting a screaming bird on your hood turns your Pentastar into an LS1

You know what you're beating around the bush here, it's all the wife's fault. If she'd just be into driving a Jeep I could have the typical JL 4-Door Rubi family hauler that I could have spec'd to the max cause it was for her. Instead she likes not even good SUVs but small ones. You can only...
