I think the perfect platform is in the eye of the purchaser, but I agree with what you are saying.
I bought an Overland because it had all the features that I wanted and didn't have the things I wouldn't use. Living in flat Houston area I won't use the sway bar disconnects often, but if I want...
A little late to the conversation here but I'll happily recommend Clayton. I too was happy with the technical service over the phone and the patience they showed with my many questions. I had helped friends with spacer lifts on their Jeeps/trucks in the past but this was my first go at a full...
Since you asked...running 2.5" Clayton Offroad Overland Plus kit (and loving it ;)) with 35" tires. I did the tires first and lost about 1 MPG then added the lift and lost another. Overall averaging about 18.5 - 19 MPG doing mostly highway driving at 70 - 75 MPH.
No...that I refill the tank about as frequently as I did with the BMW. I got about 24-25 mpg on my 2011 328i, but it had a smaller tank. I get 19-20 with the Gladiator but with the larger tank I fill up about once per week...or same as I did with the BMW.
Very pleased. I wanted a Tacoma until I drove it and was disappointed. Was test driving a Z71 Colorado when I saw a Gladiator on the road and knew that is what I wanted so long as it drove well. Went straight from Chevy dealer to Jeep and test drove one and loved it. Brought my better half for...
$600 $400 for set of 4 w/ TPMS
Willing to split if there are enough takers
Took off around 7k miles. Mostly highway miles and zero off road
Houston area
I have about a 35 mile commute with 30 miles of that driving between 70-75 mph. Weekends it starts to dip a little as it is mostly surface streets but I am normally able to go about a week between fill ups. That matched up well enough with the BMW 328i I traded in. Overall I am very happy with...
Went from Overland 32" to Yokohama Geolandar X-AT 35x12.5 and have seen about a 0.5-1 MPG loss. Mostly commuting on the highway and am getting 19.5-20 mpg now vs 20 - 21 mpg previously.
