So has anyone seen the article on the truck of the year. Well they destroyed the Gladiator. Said it was the worst tow vehicle they have ever towed with. So I have towed with mine, 2500 lbs was ok.
Did wander, stopped fine. But the bashing does not stop there.

Just another journalist sharing their opinion...who cares? Just another data point and often written to get clicks. I like what I like...it's not perfect but nothing ever is. Get one...drive it a while...keep it or get something else.

Overall, nothing to get too excited about...?

There’s a whole thread on them. They did a unprofessional and perhaps even, a negligent write up. There’s a more to that story-
Like what we’re all the details gvwr gawr gcvwr and what hitch- what loads-including the trailer?? Did they go to the scales? how distributed was it all- did they have tongue weight correct? ect on and on. What was every number? See, there’s entire forums dedicated only to towing. They wrote a 3 page note filled with opinions and not reinforced with enough factual details to really be a credible article.

They are pretty a mainstream, establishment outfit. We must trust their judgment and let it guide us.

This video blows the Motor Trend review out of the water ...

I saw that video when it first came out and I agree. The original Motortrend video should have a caption stating, "Brought to you by Chevrolet".
