Bronco Truck vs Gladiator

[Garemlin]

The bronco sport is a dud imo. Im still holding my breath for the full size to be released and we can get more impartial tests to read up on.

My daughter just traded her Wrangler in on a Bronco Sport. She loves it. I went to visit them and I will say I was impressed. That thing has as much room as my former Grand Cherokee. And even with the 1.5 it has some ass.

Ford Has a long way to go catching up with Jeep and yes competition is good for the industry but I wish Ford would be a little more original with the Bronco ... just my opinion!

Ford brought some things to the table that I am sure made Jeep take notice. Removable rear panel, body mounted mirrors and 35s as a factory option just to name a few.

I'd be interested but only if it has the 5.0 v8. Not a fan of turbo out 6 cylinders. I think it would be a good move on Fords end. The Bronco Sport is kind of a flop like Chevrolet Blazer. I think Ford should drop the Sport and offer a Full Size Bronco along with the current regular Bronco that sounds like a win all around.
Mean while at GM ditch the over sized Camaro/Murano and make a real two door Tahoe /Blazer that is fully convertible.

The Bronco Sport is far from a flop. Dealers are selling them as quick as they get them in. And I've probably seen more Bronco Sports on the road in the few short months they have been out than I have Blazers in two years that they have been.

Nice! Cool to have a firsthand account

What size wheel and tire on your Gladiator? Love the stance on it

Thank you. 35x12.5-17s (Yokohama Geolander G003). Pretty standard stuff. I have the Mopar 2 inch lift and there is nothing in the bed.

Pretty much the same shape.
Oddly enough, I’ve never met a person that owned a Flex that could say anything bad about it. ??‍

A friend has one with twin turbos and it hauls ass.

I like the look of the new Bronco, but would never buy one.
Ford did a way better job than Toyota did with the last FJ ....bleck

FJ Cruisers are the only affordable vehicle I know of that appreciates. They're really nice rides, Toyota made a grave mistake discontinuing them in 2014 when gas prices were surging. Now they're extremely sought after. Not exactly for me, but they're Toyotas and have a following due to reliability.

They kept the FJ grill, but it doesn't really fit the rest of the vehicle. Purely talking about aesthetics here, but I never liked the look of it, and the visibility out of it is no Pacer lol, but it kinda reminds me of one for some reason.

I like the "Toyota" written in old school lettering, but yeah. I feel ya on the aesthetics of that front end.

I was thinking about the back, but yeah, kind of a mess all around.

Plenty of Bronco Sport's running around now ... cute little grocery getter ... that's about it. Any one trading in their Jeep for one needs their Man Card pulled. I hear love or hate reviews on the Ranger, so we'll have to see what really happens with this new truck ... the way Ford works maybe in 2 or 3 yrs?

If you want a rig that has real offroad potential ... Jeep. If you want a heated tailgate or butt massager ... Ford 100%

I’d love to see Toyota get in the game with a removable top 4 door FJ tweaked for better styling

My wife has a Renegade, the Bronco Sport(BS?) looks like they are targeting the same demo.
