Well when it comes to dealers they’re not that fun to deal with that’s why I’m looking for the truck that will have the least issues so I won’t have to deal with their BS. Good thing that Jeep now got a new dealer as the old one was one of the worst between all the dealers in my country.
I am just to afraid to go with the Ranger and start getting issues wot The transmission. The dealership support in my country is a jock. That’s why I turned into the Gladiator Mojave as a better option. At least I know that the drivetrain is solid and won’t face any issues. And to be honest with you I started to like the look of the Gladiator more than the new Ranger Raptor. I might hold back until October and see what’s the new Hilux GR sport will offer.
Both have a potential for transmission issues…in your area which one has the best post sale ability to fix the truck if issues arise?
I used to own a 2013 wrangler sport and was doing just fine on the sand dunes. It’s not the most powerful engine out their but from what I remember it did very well. But I wasn’t a fan of the 5 speed automatic transmission at that time. And from what I’m hearing the 8 speed is way better.
Maybe but I highly doubt it as people love the full size truck in here F150, Silverado and the sierra. Any most of the people that get a midsize truck it’s usually a hilux or Landcruiser 70 series. Which I’m not a fan of how they drive coz they use leaf springs and drum breaks.
I would say the jeep would have more people that know how to fix them if issues arised. And for the ford there is not many Rangers on the road usually F150s, Explorer and recently a lot of Broncos. To be honest with you I won’t trust anyone to work on a transmission on either of them coz when it comes to skills working on a transmissions there aren’t many people that know what they’re doing.
How’s that for a layer of complexity
in your case drive them both , and then make your decision solely of off which one you like best. Both will blow your mind relating to capability. Personally I would get the Raptor Ranger if was between the Mohave and Ranger….it would require additional thought if were between the Rubicon.Ya I will try to test drive them both. I have contacted the Jeep dealer today and to my surprise they have no Gladiators for sale or test drive.How’s that for a layer of complexity
It's the same 10R80 transmission in the F150 and Ranger.
Ya I’m very aware of that. Anyways I will try and get my hands on both vehicles to test drive them before making my final decision. I got surprised today by my Jeep dealer that there is non in stock in the whole country so who know how long it’ll take for them to get back on stock.
