"Truck" or "Jeep"?

[SwampNut]

"Jeep Truck" is right in the name, JT. It's not a JG.

We usually call it the Jeep I think mainly to distinguish it from the truck that we had before.

I have a Honda Ridgeline, and the conventional-truck world mostly refuses to consider it a "truck", no matter how much it can haul or tow. Why do people get so worked up about this stuff - is it just their insecurity?

We're an Acura family with 2 active boys and I coach several of their teams. I needed a truck. I looked at the Ridgeline and it baffles me how Honda doesn't get what "truck" buyers want. I loved the fact that it was just like our MDXs, but I didn't want it to "look" like an SUV. The 1st gen RL was much more in line with truck desirability (no knock intended Pleeease).

One of my closest friends has a Tesla S, BMW X7, and a JK Wrangler. All he talks about is his Jeep. His daughters cried when he talked about selling it (he's not). I'm a car guy, so I know the pros/cons of owning a Jeep, but I quickly fell in love with the Gladiator.

Honestly, if I could fit a F150 Raptor in my garage (and my wallet), I'd be driving a Raptor. But IMO, there's nothing that comes close in the medium size truck market to the Gladiator. It's a truck that's also a Jeep, a convertible, and is very unique in the crowded truck market.

When people tell me that the JT isn't the best truck on the market, I just say: It trucks better than any other Jeep and Jeeps better than any other truck. Further questions?

I've told people to go buy a Tacoma instead when they asked for advice, and the mission didn't include anything this does well.

Jeep .....truck....Jeep Truck. I dunno... I call it the best, most fun Jeep..er truck I’ve ever driven - previous were ‘89 YJ Laredo, ‘53 M-38A1, 2013 JKU.

I just call it mine. It's a Jeep Truck (JT). If we're going out, I ask if we're taking the Jeep, or the Jeep

I'm glad yall liked my meme... I though it was going to fall dead for a while. Nobody responded to it, I thought everyone was ignoring it, or thought it was stupid.

I'll make more in the future and post them. If you like it, feel free to save it, share it, and spread it around...Anything posted on the internet is pretty much a free-for-all anyway.

I tell folks I have a "Treep." LOL

Being my first Jeep and having owned F150s before I bounce back and forth between Jeep and Truck. My 3yo grandson calls it a Jeep. "you don't have your truck, grandpa" I am going more and more towards Jeep.

If I was practical and didn't want a convertible, I would so have a Ridgeline. My son has one, cabin is immense and what other truck has a trunk.
