I had to look it up just now, I swore it was 4-something. I may have been remembering pre production speculation or measurements from one of the other tiny-bed-trucks out there like the avalanche or ridgeline. I started ignoring news/info about the Gladiator when I saw it was 4dr-only. Not my cup of tea.It’s not a 4ft bed and I’m sure you know that. Why choose to say things that aren’t true?
Glad you made the right choice bro! Welcome to the family!I’m trading in the 2013 Accord sedan for a Gladiator. Sometimes I see the Gladiator and I’m like, “Man, that’s ugly.” But sometimes I see it and I think it’s pretty bad ace. Maybe it’s the Rubicon package that makes me turn my head. Anyway, am I making the right move? I’ll probably use the bed once a month and I don’t tow. My wife had a Durango so I figured it’d be cool to have the truck bed for when I need it. My two favorite vehicles were always the wrangler and pickup and they just had a baby so I figured I should go that route. Right move?
It’s a 5ft bed and that’s standard bed size for all mid-sizes trucks with crew cabs.It's a long rig and a micro bed... I would have gone Gladiator if they had done a 2dr with a normal sized truck bed (I guess that is the J6 concept?). I've never understood four door trucks... Why would you want to haul your family around in a work vehicle? I mean, I guess with a 4ft bed, it's not a work vehicle.
And it's still shocking to me that truck buyers find that acceptable. Not my thing, but, there's something out there for everyone... Except if you want a small truck with a long bed, apparently, since nobody makes those anymore... So, I suppose that makes me the weird one.It’s a 5ft bed and that’s standard bed size for all mid-sizes trucks with crew cabs.
Have a Rebel, and thinking GladiatorIf you’re going to use that bed And off road it hard the Gladiator is going to be a great choice. For me. I want the one touch top and would rarely need the bed.
Personally I’d consider a full size for the price of a Gladiator. The Ram rebel is right there with the Gladiator when fully loaded with the big v8. The limited trim is 2k more and dripping in luxury if you’re willing to stick to the 6cyl.
These are MSRP which you’ll get more off the Gladiator but I’d highly consider a full size with the off road group. You give up a little off road ability for massive gains in comfort and utility.
The fly in the ointment in questions like these is people interjecting their own preferences, which is fine, but may not be yours.I’m trading in the 2013 Accord sedan for a Gladiator.

I think the Gladiator looks great with slightly bigger wheels . I think that's a must. : )I’m trading in the 2013 Accord sedan for a Gladiator.
