For me a "truck" has a body on frame construction. That means Gladiator, Tacoma, Frontier, Ranger ect. are "mid size trucks" Sure some guys distinguish a truck as full size and then there are even some others that believe a "truck" actually starts at 3/4 and above. Again, if it has a bed and...
100% agree. I loved my FJ which I think of the Bronco as being a updated version. However, having a truck bed is a must for me. If they made a Bronco with a bed I would maybe consider it...otherwise no thanks.
Depends on what your looking for. I have always liked the old Jeep Scramblers, so when several companies made the Wranglers into pickups (Brut being one) I thought "If Jeep ever builds that I am buying it". I have always said everyone needs a truck, may not need a 1 ton dually (some do) but a...
Well when my first car 1967 Camaro RS was being wrenched on, I took dads hunting Jeep 1973 CJ 5 to school a lot.
ME:
1974 CJ 5
1992 YJ
1998 TJ
2019 Grand Cherokee Overland (Wife's ride)
2021 Gladiator Rubicon
No, never said I was "right" and yes, it was based on my small sample size of experience. For further clarification (my bad) I was referring to the full size trucks since that has been my experience. Unless, we are talking decades then with S10 series. Moms S10 blazer was reliable but my...
Ok, I am going to call BS on JB Powers Assc. ratings. Funny, how brands like Lexus, Honda and Subaru get lesser ratings. As far as GMC / Chevrolet, love the newer body style, they finally updated a very antiquated interior. In terms of reliability, that is yet to be seen. Prior to 2005 yes...
I don't think it will really matter to Gladiator. The Jeep is a specialty truck, (convertible, take the doors off , straight axle ).
Now as a Chevy guy I am finally glad to see a small truck that looks good. I was totally disappointed in Colorado and even when Ford released Ranger. Both...
Yes, I would give the Taco a "slight" advantage as far as freeway, not much probably due to IFS. However, it really wasn't much difference when I had taco with small lift. The Gladiator gets compared to regular Jeeps. Don't get me wrong with each generation they get better and better. I had...
I had a 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road I bought brand new then sold it bought 2021 JT Rubicon new off lot. Prior to the Tacoma had a 2008 FJ Cruiser (Loved). Both the 2016 Toyota and 2021 JT were loaded from factory with all options so I can give a pretty good comparison between the two. Engine and...
Thank you for pointing that out after re-reading my post. I don't want people to think that the Mojave is strictly a dune racer and not off road capable. Quite the opposite, I would argue that in a class of truck with a rear locker only like (Tacoma TRD off Road, Nissan, and Ranger ) that the...
I was in the same boat. I first test drove a Mojave and since orange is my favorite color I really loved the Mojave orange accents. With Rubicon your really stuck with red since dash and seat sticking is red. Where I live anyways they were both the exact same price. Its my understanding with...
I had the same tuff decision. After studying and pondering I went with Rubicon and here was my reasoning. Where I live at least they both were the exact same price. For that price with the Mojave you get some pretty crazy cool shocks made for flying your 60K truck off dunes, a rear locker...
100% agree with this comment. My wife had an SUV that we got brand new in 2017. It had a panaramic sunroof that had a very annoying "tick" we brought it into dealership she bought it from and each time it came out worse. The last straw was grease hand prints on headliner and a cut in her...
