While I always had Grand Cherokees, I really liked the Wrangler but, to me it was kind of impractical for what I would need. When I saw that Jeep was coming out with the Gladiator, I waited until they opened the ordering lines, and ordered mine. That was May of '19.

To me, it's just more practical for my uses.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE Mine. So, my vote is Gladiator.

What's better - a chain saw or a concrete saw?
It depends on what you are cutting.

What's better, a fry pan or a cooking pot? Depends on what you are trying to do.

Neither is better, neither is worse. It depends on your needs at any given time.
If you have truck needs, then get a Gladiator.
If you never tow, don't truck tent camp, don't need a truck bed, then get a Wrangler.
Or, get what you like.

For me; Gladiator cause I gotta do truck stuff sometimes. For my wife; Wrangler cause she doesn’t do truck stuff sometimes. Family trips; I’d prefer taking mine cause it drives better, but she would rather take hers cause there’s more covered room. I don’t mind it though, put the mileage on hers and keep mine low

Any of the Jeeps have the great open air feature and the narrow body so you can see what is around in tight trails and parking lots. You really need all three options so you can have the right tool for every job. The 2 door wrangler has the worst manners of the three on the highway but is far more maneuverable off road. The shorter wheelbase gives it a better breakover making it better for everything on the trails except some steep climbs like waterfalls that make you feel the short wheelbase more. you can put a few people back there or better yet pull the backseat out and pack carefully or drag around or leave at camp a little trailer, works great towing a Jetski or other toy that doesn't weigh too much. The four door wrangler unlimited rides better on the highway while it sacrifices some off road maneuverability, breakover angle and departure angle for more passenger and cargo room. it has the passenger space with more leftover for stuff out back and it can always tow a bit more of the same stuff a two door does and easier, The gladiator wins If you want the best ride on the highway, need to tow something above the 4 doors limits, haul more stuff with people in the back or haul stuff that you may not want or can not fit inside, the bed gives you outside cargo space a place to put a shell, rack, roof tent and a bunch of other crap you can go broke buying although any of them seem to have that feature.
